Las Vegas Motorized Shades
Our story
Founder-owned, people-first, and still personal after more than two decades.
James and Jamie Hutchings founded Southwest Blinds & Shutters in 2002. What began as a small window-covering business has grown into an experienced team serving homeowners across Arizona and the Las Vegas Valley—without losing the personal responsibility that shaped the company.
How it began
A difficult moment opened the door to a company built around taking care of people.
After James was laid off in 2001, he began learning the window-covering business from the ground up. With Jamie beside him, he turned that unexpected change into Southwest Blinds & Shutters in 2002.
James was born and raised in Las Vegas, so serving the Las Vegas Valley is personal. The company has grown well beyond those early days, but James and Jamie still believe the best work begins the same way: listen carefully, be honest about the options, and take responsibility for the finished result.

We want you to feel heard, understand what you are buying, and trust the people working in your home.
That standard shapes how we hire, how much time our designers spend with each customer, and why our installations stay with our own employees.
The broader Southwest team
A local Las Vegas experience backed by a larger, experienced organization.
These photos show members of the broader Southwest organization. Our Las Vegas customers work with local showroom, design, and installation professionals, supported by the training, systems, and experience of the company James and Jamie have built since 2002.
We will add new Las Vegas team photography as it becomes available. Until then, we want you to see the real people and company culture standing behind the local team—not generic stock photography.
No subcontracted installation
The person installing your shades is part of the Southwest team.
Our installers are full-time employees. Keeping installation in-house gives us more control over training, workmanship, communication, and follow-through.
They are expected to arrive prepared, protect your home, make careful adjustments, clean the work area, and show you how the shades and controls work before leaving.
