Charlotte’s Window Treatment Specialists

meet our award-winning team

A Shade Above is the Carolinas’ largest family-owned and operated window coverings company, and in 2023, we celebrated 30 years of excellence serving the Charlotte community. We have manufactured our own custom plantation shutters in Charlotte, NC, since 1993.

Our Team

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.

"Best Service We've Ever Received!"
We have ordered plantation shutters in numerous homes previous to this but this was by far the best product and service we ever received! From the first phone call, to the diligence measuring, the customer service for installation and the follow up was stellar start to finish. We are building our new home soon and I will be calling on this team again!

"We are SO Happy!"
We ordered shutters and a few shades for our new home, and Brandy made the process so easy and enjoyable. We received a few quotes on shutters and A Shade Above was fantastically priced compared to other quotes received. Our installers, Zac and Blake, did a fantastic job as well. They were professional and timely on install day. We are so happy with how everything looks!
