Four Treatments For Mid-Cities Hurst Homes

Hurst is a working Mid-Cities suburb. Most of the houses went up between 1965 and 1985, the original owners are still in a lot of them, and the comps are forgiving compared to Southlake or Colleyville. The four treatments below are what Durrell writes up most often during a Hurst consultation, sized for value and built to actually fit the older Bedford Road frames.

Plantation Shutters That Lift A Hurst Listing

Hurst comps are not Southlake comps, but the resale math still moves on whether the listing photos look finished. Custom plantation shutters in the front-of-house rooms read like a home that has been cared for. Durrell sizes to the actual frame, paints to match the trim, and the install adds something the showing photos pick up.

Cellular Shades To Tame The Older Single-Pane Glass

Most 1970s and 1980s Hurst homes still have original single-pane glass that leaks heat both directions. Cellular shades pocket air against the glass and slow the radiant load before it crosses the thermostat. The AC stops short-cycling, the back-of-house bedrooms stop running hotter than the kitchen, and the August bill stops climbing.

Motorized Shades For Newer Hurst Infill Builds

The newer infill homes going up across Hurst were drawn with foyer windows and great-room glass that nobody operates with a wand. Battery-motor shades drop on a schedule, lift by remote, or run off a phrase to Alexa or HomeKit without pulling new wires. Durrell pairs them to whatever you already have running.

Exterior Solar Screens For The West-Facing Patios

Older Hurst lots tend to back up to a fence-line with a west exposure that bakes the back porch all summer. Heavy-gauge exterior solar shades stop the heat at the screen, so the concrete deck stays usable and the patio furniture stops fading.

Meet Durrell

Durrell Glick owns and runs the DFW side of Love Is Blinds Texas. He handles every Hurst quote, every measure, and every install personally. He has walked 1970s ranches off Bedford Road, 1980s splits along Pipeline, established traditionals near the Hurst Conference Center, and a handful of newer infill builds going up where the older homes used to stand. The consultation is Durrell at your kitchen table, not a salesperson with a tablet.

Mid-Cities Pricing, Mid-Cities Quality

Hurst homes do not need Southlake-grade everything in every room. Durrell quotes the right product for the room: faux wood and roller shades in back-of-house bedrooms, plantation shutters in the front rooms that face the street, cellular shades on the older windows that leak heat. The kitchen-table conversation is about the math, not the upsell.

Older Frames, Laser-Measured

A 1972 Hurst ranch has frames that have shifted half an inch over fifty years and trim with five coats of paint. Stock blinds from a warehouse store will not fit, and the gap shows up in every listing photo at resale. Durrell measures to what is actually on the wall, builds the order to match, and installs without disturbing the trim.

The Full Lineup

Practical Window Treatments For Hurst Homes

The Hurst lineup leads with the products that fit Mid-Cities pricing and Mid-Cities homes: faux wood for back-of-house, plantation shutters for the front rooms, cellular shades for the older single-pane glass. Swipe through.

The right pick depends on the room, the direction the window faces, and how the frame is actually built. On your Hurst consultation, Durrell brings the full sample case and walks every room so you can hold each fabric up to your own afternoon light.

Three Hurst Houses That Come Through The Door Every Week

A 1972 ranch off Bedford Road with original single-pane glass and the second owner doing a long-overdue upgrade. A 1985 traditional near Pipeline Road with builder-grade two-inch faux blinds that have been there since the original owner moved in. A newer infill build on a teardown lot near Precinct Line with motorized prep at framing. Three different houses, three different orders, same Hurst week.

The 1970s & 1980s Hurst Ranches: Original Owners Finally Upgrading

The older Hurst ranches along Bedford Road and Pipeline are full of original owners and second owners who never replaced the builder-grade blinds. Fifty years of foundation settle moves a frame a half inch. The trim has been painted four times. Stock blinds from a warehouse store leave a gap you can see from the driveway. Durrell measures to what is on the wall, builds the order to fit.

The Newer Infill Builds: Ordered Before Move-In

A handful of teardown-rebuilds and infill new builds are going up around Hurst on the older lots. These plans come with motorized prep at framing, smart-home panels at the kitchen island, and a move-in date that does not bend. Durrell coordinates with the builder so the treatments are ordered before keys change hands.

The Hurst Bill On Original Single-Pane Glass

A 1970s Hurst ranch with original single-pane windows runs hard on the AC in July. Cellular shades on the west-facing rooms and exterior solar screens on the back porch take real dollars off the August bill. The HVAC stops short-cycling. The back bedrooms stop running hotter than the kitchen. The original glass stays in.

What Hurst Realtors Notice At The Open House

Hurst resale runs faster on the listings that look finished, not the ones with the original 1985 builder-grade two-inch faux still on the front-room windows. A traditional with custom plantation shutters in the dining photographs differently than the identical floor plan three doors down with the original mini-blinds. A ranch with cellular shades on the east-facing primary closes faster because the morning showing photos do not show a glaring sunrise burning out the bedroom wall. Durrell walks through the room-by-room math during the consultation, sized to Hurst comps.

The Process

How A Hurst Job Goes, Phone Call To Install

Three steps. One owner-operator. One phone number. The person who answers the call writes the quote and hangs the product. No measure tech, no commission salesperson.

01

The In-Home Walk-Through

Durrell drives out at the time you booked with the full sample case and the catalog. You walk every room together. He asks what gets used and what does not, which rooms get the morning sun, which side of the house gets hot by 4 p.m. The recommendation gets built around your actual budget and your actual house.

02

The Laser Measure & The Written Quote

Every opening laser-measured to the sixteenth. Older Hurst frames need this. The quote is itemized line by line on the kitchen table before Durrell leaves. Nothing buried in a vague "installation" line. No deposit pressure if you want to sit on it for a week.

03

The Install Day

Two to four weeks after deposit, Durrell is back in the driveway with the install kit. Everything goes up the same visit. He programs any motors, pairs them to your smart-home setup, walks you through how each piece operates, and hauls the cardboard out before he leaves.

Window Treatment F.A.Q.'s for Hurst, TX

Both, the same week. Durrell quotes a 1972 Bedford Road ranch in the morning and a new infill build off Precinct Line that afternoon.

Yes, and especially if you are in an older Hurst home with original single-pane glass. Cellular shades on the west-facing rooms plus exterior solar screens on the back porch take real dollars off the August bill.

Durrell personally covers Hurst, Bedford, Euless, Colleyville, Grapevine, North Richland Hills, Keller, Southlake, Fort Worth, Arlington, Denton, Argyle, Northlake, Granbury, Weatherford, and Gainesville, plus the smaller towns in between.

Yes. Durrell will quote what makes sense for your house, not a one-size-fits-all package. Most Hurst orders mix faux wood in back-of-house rooms with plantation shutters on the front-of-house windows that matter for resale.

Yes. Picture windows on 1970s ranches, bay windows on 1980s traditionals, sliding glass doors on the back patio, the half-window flanking the stair on a 1990s two-story. Every order is custom-built, so the shape is not the constraint.

Two to four weeks from the consultation in most cases. Custom plantation shutters sit on the longer end because they are built to your specific opening.

About an hour, mostly conversation. Durrell walks the rooms with you, takes measurements, shows samples, and writes the itemized quote. No follow-up sales-call schedule, no "today only" pricing, no deposit until you say go.

Yes. The motorized blinds, shades, and shutters integrate with Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit, and most of the major smart-home hubs. Durrell pairs every motor on install day and tests against your specific setup before he packs the toolbox.
