History
Established in 1918.
The Shade Shop opened its doors in 1918 with the simple philosophy of providing quality window coverings and genuine customer satisfaction to Houston residents. Fast-forward a century and The Shade Shop has not only maintained this philosophy, but has remained in the family while doing so.
With a tradition of offering quality products and expert service for nearly a century, The Shade Shop has earned the trust of several generations of Houstonians. Over the years, The Shade Shop has drastically expanded its offerings to include not only roller shades or blinds, but custom-made shutters, solar shades, motorized shades, retractable awnings and more. While the offerings have expanded, the commitment to quality remains. Each product line is thoroughly investigated not only for its beauty, but also for its functionality and durability.
A family owned and operated business, The Shade Shop has transformed Houston homes, restaurants, and corporate offices for 100 years and counting!
Meet the Business Owner: Larry S.
Larry Sams, current owner of The Shade Shop, began visiting his grandfather's store on weekends as a small child. As a teenager, Larry became his grandfather's helper, helping around the shop and on installation sites. After getting his business degree at The University of Houston, Larry purchased The Shade Shop in 1986 with the determination to uphold his grandfather's principle of offering only quality products and expert service.
Under Larry's ownership, The Shade Shop has drastically expanded its selection of window treatments and outdoor shading solutions. To this day, Larry personally investigates each new product line and refuses to offer any product that does not meet his exacting standards. This commitment to high quality and expert craftsmanship has earned the trust of several generations of Houston customers.
