The views from a Lincoln, NH living room are spectacular—mountain ridges, fiery foliage, and fresh snowfall. Yet those same windows expose your home to powerful UV, heat loss, and prying eyes. High-performance window treatments solve the problem, but only when they are sized, priced, and installed with precision. CountBricks brings the region’s first voice-activated estimating platform to the challenge, giving homeowners an easier path from idea to install.

• Faux-wood blinds: Impervious to mountain humidity, budget-friendly, and available in rustic finishes that match log cabins.
• Cellular (honeycomb) shades: Trapped air pockets boost R-value, cutting winter heating bills by up to 15 %.
• Solar roller shades: Preserve your view while blocking up to 97 % of harmful UV—perfect for south-facing picture windows.
• Composite shutters: Durable louvers that handle extreme temperature swings without warping.
• Motorized shades: Integrate with smart-home systems for hands-free daylight control.
• PVC-free fabrics have risen 18 % in popularity as eco-conscious owners demand healthier indoor air.
• Motorization kit prices dropped 12 % in the last year, making automation accessible for mid-range budgets.
• Real wood stained blinds now command a 20 % premium due to supply chain pressure on hardwoods.
Lincoln’s winters routinely dip below zero. Window treatments are your second insulation layer after glazing:
• Cellular shades can raise window R-value from 3 to 5 with a tight fit.
• Layering drapery over blinds creates an air seal that meets local energy stretch codes.
• CountBricks calculates potential BTU savings in every estimate so you see payback timelines instantly.
• Pre-measure twice: Our technicians verify AI takeoff numbers on-site before ordering materials.
• Inside-mount clearances: We leave a ⅛-inch gap on each side to prevent scuffing in wooden jambs prone to swelling.
• Cold-weather acclimation: Treatments rest 24 hours in your heated space to avoid contraction after install.
• Final walkthrough: You operate every lift cord, tilt wand, or motor interface before sign-off.
• Photograph each window straight-on; avoid angled shots for the cleanest AI takeoff.
• Mention ceiling height—taller mounts need longer lift cords or extended battery tubes.
• Note any radiators below sills; we’ll add heat-resistant spacer brackets.
• Decide on corded vs cordless early; it affects both price and child-safety compliance.
• Ask for multi-room bundling—CountBricks auto-applies volume discounts.

The Adams family purchased a 1990s ski chalet just off the Kancamagus Highway. Stunning floor-to-ceiling windows captured sunrise over Loon Mountain—but single-pane glass and outdated aluminum blinds leaked heat and glare.
• Scope: Replace 22 window treatments, mix of picture windows and skylights
• Goals: Reduce heating costs, preserve views, integrate with existing smart-home hub
• Timeline: 12 days from first call to completed install
1. During a 15-minute voice call, Mrs. Adams described style preferences and connected our estimator to her digital floor plan. AI takeoffs identified every opening and calculated fabric yardage within seconds.
2. Real-time pricing pulled from CountBricks supplier partners showed composite shutters were 9 % over budget, so our estimator suggested dual-cell honeycomb shades with motorization kits—delivering better insulation at lower cost.
3. The interactive quote highlighted annual energy savings of 11 %. With one click, the family approved, triggering automated purchase orders and installer scheduling.
4. On install day, our crew pre-heated the chalet to stabilize materials. Each shade was inside-mounted with side-channel tracks to eliminate light gaps critical for movie-night blackout.
5. Final commissioning integrated the shades with the Adams’ smart-home scenes—“Après-Ski,” “Sunrise,” and “Movie Night.”
• Estimated 18 % drop in heating fuel usage during the first winter
