North Myrtle Beach Neighborhoods

All five sections of NMB — same shop, same install crew.

North Myrtle Beach is technically five towns: Cherry Grove, Ocean Drive, Crescent Beach, Windy Hill and Tilghman. We work all five.

Why we opened a Coastal shop.

Dalton Taylor started Artisan Shutter in Monroe, NC in 1993 — Dalton, his wife Patti, and his brother Jeff, building plantation shutters one window at a time. Chad came into the trade in 1997 and ran his own Charlotte shutter shop. In January 2010 he joined Dalton at A Shade Above, working out of the first retail shop on Camden Road in South End, Charlotte. He was one of the original crew there.

Around 2017, Chad's parents were getting older and he told Dalton he might have to step away to take care of them. Dalton didn't blink: "Don't do that. Move to the beach. Let's open a showroom and you run it." So we did. We literally reshaped the business around one family's needs — which is the only thing "family business" has ever actually meant. For the first six years down here there wasn't a single pay-per-click ad: just word of mouth, yard signs, and that little red roof on the main drag into Cherry Grove.

The Cherry Grove shop is run by Chad, with Carter (his son), Matt, Jennifer and Heather. Plantation shutters still get built in the Monroe, NC factory. Everything else gets ordered, hauled, and installed by our own crew. No unknown subcontractors. When you call 843-273-4573, you reach one of us.

What we hang most here: Poly Shutters on oceanfront and second-row baths (they hold up best to salt air), woven wood shades for living rooms with water views, Hunter Douglas Silhouette and Pirouette shades for the renovated condos at Kingston and Crescent, and patio shades on porches and channel-side decks. Built for the beach. Made to last as long as the house does.

NMB Questions

The ones we hear most.

Where is the A Shade Above Coastal showroom in North Myrtle Beach?
Our showroom is on Sea Mountain Hwy in Cherry Grove, right beside Platt's Seafood, in the 29582 zip. Mon–Fri 10–5 and Saturday 10–2, walk-ins welcome. From most of NMB you're under ten minutes away.
Do you measure and install in all of North Myrtle Beach?
Yes — Cherry Grove, Ocean Drive, Crescent Beach, Windy Hill and Tilghman. Every neighborhood. Chad, Jennifer or Karl comes out to measure, and Matt and Carter install. No unknown subcontractors.
What window treatments do North Myrtle Beach homes pick most?
Plantation shutters and our coastal-smart Poly Shutters are the most popular for bedrooms and bathrooms. Woven wood shades dominate living rooms with ocean views. Hunter Douglas Silhouettes are big on second-floor sun-facing rooms. For porches and decks, patio shades — they roll up out of sight when you don't need them.
How fast can you come measure?
For NMB, usually same week — often within 48 hours. The showroom is in the same zip as your house. Call 843-273-4573 or fill out the form below and one of us will text back the same day.
Do you handle vacation rentals and short-term rentals?
Yes — a big chunk of what we install in NMB is for rental units and second-home owners who rent on the side. We can work with property managers, store keys, do the install on a turn day, and bill the owner directly. Ask about our rental-property package.
Can you fix shades or shutters someone else installed?
Usually, yes. We re-string cordless shades, re-tilt shutter louvers, replace remote batteries on motorized units, and repair what we can. Bring it in or call us — no judgment if we didn't put it up the first time.
