Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers about products, pricing, timelines, and installation. Different question? Call us - you'll talk to the owners.

Cost and quotes

How much do custom blinds, shades or plantation shutters cost?
There is no honest flat answer, because custom treatments are priced from the opening: its size, the material, inside or outside mount, and whether you motorize. What we can promise is the shape of the number: the quote is written, it includes professional installation, and the amount you approve is the amount you pay. The free in-home consultation exists to turn your actual windows into an actual price.
Is the consultation really free?
Yes. The visit, the measuring and the written quote cost nothing and commit you to nothing. We bring samples so fabric and finish get judged in your own light rather than a showroom's.
Can you match a competitor's quote?
Yes. We offer an apples-to-apples price match: a like-for-like quote from another company is something to bring to the consultation, not something to negotiate around.
Is there a minimum order?
No. Single windows are a normal job, and plenty of customers do a room at a time. For every ten window treatments you purchase we replace one free, so staged whole-house projects earn that as they go.

The process

Do you really come to my home for the consultation?
Yes, every time. Samples come to your door, every opening is measured on site by the team that will install, and the quote is written from those measurements. Most customers never visit a showroom because there is nothing there your own windows cannot tell us better.
How long does it take from consultation to install?
Most custom orders arrive within two to four weeks of approving the quote. Motorized treatments can run longer. The timeline is confirmed in writing on your quote, and the team that measured returns to install.
What if a treatment does not fit?
We measured it, so we correct it. Anything that does not match the approved measurements is remade and reinstalled at no cost to you. That is the point of measuring every opening ourselves.
Who actually shows up?
The local owner-operator. Love Is Blinds Texas is three locally owned franchises: Durrell Glick across DFW, Jake Wade and Jonathan Arosemena across North Texas, and Danny Rohweder across the Waco, Austin, Dallas and Cedar Creek Lake areas. The person who quotes your windows is the person who installs them.

Products for Texas conditions

Which window treatments handle Texas heat best?
Stop the sun before it enters. Exterior patio shades block heat at the outside face of the glass, which no interior treatment can do. Inside, honeycomb shades insulate by trapping air in their cells, and solar screen roller shades cut glare and heat while keeping the view.
What works in humid rooms like bathrooms and kitchens?
Faux wood and composite. Real wood moves with moisture and will warp over a sink or in steam, so we specify the materials that hold their shape even when wood is the prettier answer.
Do you offer motorized or smart shades?
Yes: remote, wall switch, app, voice and scheduled control, in battery and hardwired versions, plus retrofit motorization for some existing treatments. Motorization earns its keep on high windows, wide banks of glass and exterior shades that should move on a schedule.
Are your window treatments child and pet safe?
Cordless lift and motorization remove the loop entirely, and that is what we recommend for any room children use. A cord cleat is a reminder to be careful; a cordless lift is a solution.
Do you handle specialty shapes like arches and angled windows?
Yes. Shaped openings are a frame and mount problem rather than a fabric one, which is exactly why we measure on site instead of working from a list.

Choosing and design

Will you help me choose, or just quote what I ask for?
We help you choose, and we will tell you when you are overspending. A guest room used a few nights a year does not need what a west-facing living room needs, and saying so at the consultation is part of the job. Samples come to your home so decisions happen in your own light.
Can window treatments actually lower my electric bill?
The right ones, on the right glass, yes. Honeycomb shades insulate by trapping air in their cells, solar screens cut heat at the window, and exterior patio shades stop sun before it reaches the glass at all. The savings live on the west- and south-facing windows, which is where we focus them.
Which treatments suit my style of home?
Plantation shutters carry traditional and farmhouse homes and read well from the street. Roller and banded shades suit modern builds with big glass. Woven woods bring texture to lake and ranch houses. The consultation settles it faster than a catalogue, because we are looking at your rooms, not a showroom's.
Do you have showrooms I can visit?
No, and that is deliberate. The showroom comes to you: samples at your door, held against your own walls and your own light, which is the only place fabric and stain decisions are reliable.
Do you offer financing?
Ask at the consultation and we will walk through what is available. What we promise up front is simpler: the written quote you approve is the amount you pay, with no movement after.
Can you work within my budget?
Yes. Custom has a wider price range than people expect, and there is almost always a combination of material and lift that lands inside a real number. Tell us the budget at the consultation and we will design to it rather than around it.

Coverage and after the install

What areas of Texas do you serve?
Three territories cover the state: DFW and the Mid-Cities, North Texas from Denton up to Sherman, Danny Rohweder around Waco, Austin, Dallas and Cedar Creek Lake down to the Austin metro. If you are anywhere near a town on our service areas page, we come to you, and each area lists its own local phone number.
What happens if something breaks after installation?
Two layers. Factory defects are covered for life by the manufacturer's limited lifetime warranty. On top of that, our four-year service guarantee means we come out and service your blinds, shades or shutters at no cost.
Does the warranty survive selling the house?
Yes. Our warranties transfer to the new owner, so the cover stays with the windows rather than expiring with the move.
How disruptive is installation day?
A few hours for most homes. We work room by room, clean up behind ourselves, and operate every treatment with you before we leave.
