Our Team
Chad Alexander
Sales Manager, Partner
With over 25 years of experience in the window treatment industry, Chad Alexander has been a part of A Shade Above for more than 13 years. His journey began with hands-on work like sanding, painting, and framing Plantation Shutters, eventually leading him to his current role as a Design Consultant since 2010. After serving the Charlotte client base for 7 years, he relocated his family to North Myrtle Beach to lead our showroom operation. Chad also heads A Shade Above's Commercial division, handling large projects for builders and architects across the Carolinas.
Our Story
What began in 1993 as a small shutter manufacturing business has grown into Charlotte’s largest custom window fashions company. For nearly three decades, A Shade Above has been providing Charlotte and surrounding areas with the highest quality blinds, shades and plantation shutters. As a family owned business, we have ensured that promise has remained steadfast through the years.
Through economic downturn and unprecedented recovery, we stand with multiple showroom locations throughout the Carolinas and a mobile fleet of A Shade Above vehicles outfitting thousands of local homes with custom window treatments.
Our Values
We firmly believe that every member of our team is a LEADER, and by instilling these qualities within each role, we maintain a company-wide commitment to delivering exceptional customer experience.
