From Clovis to the Tower District, Central Valley homeowners know that sunlight can be a blessing and a curse. The right window treatments control heat gain, protect interiors, and add character. For builders and remodelers, specifying the correct solution is now easier thanks to CountBricks—the AI-powered estimating platform that turns job-site conversations into precise price books for every room in the house.

• Room orientation and square footage captured through blueprint imports
• U-factor requirements tied to local Title 24 updates
• Real-time pricing on shades, blinds, and motorized systems from top distributors
