Made in the Shade has been a great company to work with over several installations over several years. Their expertise, broad selection of products and attention to detail makes them an easy decision for window treatments.

These guys are very professional, from measuring, design and color selection through installation. Including communications. Couldn't have done a better job, which was especially appreciated on the small one-window shade I needed covered. Highly recommended.

Sam & Kari were wonderful to work with when we were purchasing shades for our church offices. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and willing to stop by with samples and to get measurements. Sam was considerate of our budget and particular needs, and we're very pleased with the results! The shades are excellent quality: They look great, operate effortlessly and almost silently, and they've improved the overall appearance of the offices. The installers did a great job, as well, and even stopped by later with needed accessories. Would definitely shop here again!

I found working with Sam and Kari easy and they were very patient with my endless questions. The quality of their shade product is excellent and just what I needed for my “forever” home. The gentleman who installed the shades was very efficient and gave me detailed information on how to care for my new shades. I will continue to shop with Sam and Kari as I eventually acquire new shades for the other windows in my house.

We had horizontal and vertical blinds and also shades installed. After several weeks all look great and are working well. We are very pleased with the whole process from scheduling with Kari, consulting with Sam, and installation with David. So glad we chose Made in the Shade of Wimberley for our project.

Meet Our Family of Owners — Sam & Steve with their wives Lindsay & Sherri.

Locally Owned & Operated — Serving Wimberley, Hays County & the Hill Country

Thank you for visiting Made in the Shade Wimberley! We’re Sam and Kari, and we’re a local, family-owned window treatment company proud to serve our Hill Country neighbors across Wimberley, Hays County, Canyon Lake, and the surrounding area. We may be local, but we’re also part of a large, trusted brand — which means you get the personal service of a family business with the buying power, top brands, and a lifetime guarantee of a national company. Founded here in 2013, we’ve served the Hill Country for more than a decade, carrying on the business founder Steve built. We bring the full showroom of custom blinds, shutters, shades, drapery, solar screens, and smart motorization directly to your door — and we build and install solar screens ourselves, even for large view windows. Our goal is simple: help our neighbors protect their views, beat the Hill Country sun, and love their homes.

Sam & Steve — Owners

We’re Sam and Kari, the owners of Made in the Shade Wimberley. We took over from Steve — the founder who built this business and its reputation over many years — and our customers tell us the transition has been seamless. We take real pride in serving our Hill Country neighbors personally, from the first sample to the final installation. We understand what Wimberley homes face: big view windows, an intense Texas sun, hot summers, and views worth protecting. That’s why we build and install solar screens ourselves — even for large windows — and focus on products that actually perform here.

Our customers describe us as professional, honest, and hard-working — and many have trusted us for 7 years or more, some for over a decade. We back our quality, American-made products with a lifetime guarantee and stand behind our work: when a longtime customer’s shade discolored, we replaced it free and fast. We’d love the chance to earn your trust too, and to show you how the right window treatments can make your Hill Country home cooler, more comfortable, and more beautiful.

The Best Showroom Is Your Own Home

The best place to choose the perfect window treatment is in the room where it will live. Our business is built around a free, no-pressure consultation in the comfort of your home. We bring the showroom to you — anywhere in Hays County, however far out your home or ranch is — so you can see how the Hill Country light, your room colors, and your furnishings affect your options. From a wall of big view windows to a lake-adjacent bath, we help you choose materials that block the sun and protect your view, then build your solar screens, measure precisely, and install everything ourselves, cleanly and on schedule — backed by a lifetime guarantee.
