For construction professionals in Fresno, selecting the right window treatments is crucial for both aesthetics and energy efficiency. Costs can vary significantly, with horizontal blinds ranging from $650-$1200 per opening, while motorized systems can exceed $2000. Accurate cost estimation is essential to avoid budget overruns.
From Clovis to the Tower District, Central Valley builders understand that sunlight can be both a blessing and a challenge. The right window treatments control heat gain, protect interiors, and add character. CountBricks simplifies this process with AI-powered estimating that turns job-site conversations into precise price books for every room.
Fresno’s semi-arid climate produces over 270 sunny days a year, making window treatments essential performance products. Builders must balance aesthetics, energy efficiency, and budget. CountBricks analyzes:
Horizontal Blinds
Cost-effective, easy to replace slats, and available in faux wood that resists Fresno’s dry heat.
Roller Shades
Minimalist, excellent for contemporary homes, and pair well with smart-home hubs.
Cellular Shades
Known for insulating pockets that reduce cooling loads during 100°F summers.
Plantation Shutters
A classic upgrade for higher-end custom builds in Fig Garden and Copper River Ranch.
