Four Treatments For The Northlake New Build

Northlake is a new-construction town. Harvest by Hillwood, Pecan Square, Canyon Falls, and Wildwood are putting up houses faster than the rest of the metroplex, and almost every quote starts from a closing date that does not move. The four treatments below are the ones Durrell writes up most often on a Northlake consultation, sized to the open-plan great-room layout and wired for the smart-home setup the builder already roughed in.

Motorized Shades For The Great-Room Glass

Most Harvest, Pecan Square, and Canyon Falls plans were drawn around a two-story foyer window and a great-room wall of glass that nobody operates with a wand. Many of the newer plans came pre-wired for motorization at framing. Durrell pairs every motor to Alexa, Google Home, or Apple HomeKit on install day so the morning routine and the late-afternoon blackout both run on a schedule.

Cellular Shades Sized For The Open Plan

A Northlake new build runs a lot of west-facing glass on a single-zone HVAC. Cellular shades pocket air against the glass and slow the radiant load before it crosses the thermostat. The system stops short-cycling, the upstairs bedrooms stop running hotter than the kitchen, and the August bill stops climbing.

Exterior Solar Screens For The Backyard Patio

Many Northlake builds back up to pasture or a community trail, and the back patio takes the western exposure all summer. Heavy-gauge exterior solar shades stop the heat at the screen, before the concrete bakes. The view of the trail stays. The kids and the dog can be out there at 4 p.m. in July.

Plantation Shutters For The Front-Of-House Rooms

Northlake resale runs faster on the listings that look finished, not flipped. Custom plantation shutters in the formal dining, the front study, the primary bedroom carry a resale bump every showing photo picks up. Durrell sizes to the actual opening and paints to match the trim already on the wall.

Meet Durrell

Durrell Glick owns and runs the DFW side of Love Is Blinds Texas. He handles every Northlake quote, every measure, and every install personally. He has walked Harvest by Hillwood plans before the drywall went up, coordinated motorized install days with Pecan Square builders, measured Canyon Falls great-room glass after closing, and treated established homes off Cleveland-Gibbs Road that pre-date the master-planned boom. The consultation is Durrell at your kitchen table or builder walkthrough, not a salesperson with an iPad.

Working Every Master-Planned Community In Northlake

Northlake is mostly Hillwood communities at this point. Harvest, Pecan Square, and Canyon Falls each have a handful of repeating floor plans. Durrell has measured each plan in each community this season. He knows which Harvest plans share a transom over the front door, which Pecan Square builds have the cathedral foyer window, which Canyon Falls customs came pre-wired for motorization at framing, and which Wildwood lots back up to pasture.

Builder-Coordinated. Move-In Ready. One Install Day.

The Northlake closing date does not bend. Durrell measures pre-closing where the builder allows it, orders against your move-in calendar, and installs the same week the movers come. The result is privacy in the bedrooms and blackout in the nursery on move-in night, not three months of brown paper taped over the great-room glass while you wait for a custom shade to ship from a warehouse two states over.

The Full Lineup

Built For Northlake New Builds, Move-In Ready

The catalog leads with the products Durrell installs most in new construction: motorized for the great-room glass, rollers for the kitchen and primary, cellular for the energy math, plantation for the front-of-house. Swipe through.

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

Three Northlake Houses That Come Through The Door Every Week

A Harvest by Hillwood two-story with a closing date six weeks out and a builder rough-in for motorized at the great-room ceiling. A Pecan Square plan moving in next month with a smart-home panel already wired at the kitchen island. An established home off Cleveland-Gibbs Road that pre-dates the master-planned boom by a decade. Three different houses, three different orders, same Northlake week.

The Older Cleveland-Gibbs & Original Northlake Homes

A handful of Northlake homes pre-date the Hillwood master-planned communities by ten or fifteen years. The frames have settled, the trim has been painted, and the comps now run against the new builds in Harvest. Stock blinds leave a gap and the new-build comps make that gap visible. Durrell measures to what is on the wall, builds the order to match, and installs without disturbing the trim.

Harvest, Pecan Square & Canyon Falls New Builds: Ready Before Move-In

Most Northlake quotes start from a fixed closing date. Durrell measures pre-closing where the builder allows it, orders against your move-in calendar, and installs the same week the movers come. Move-in day there is privacy in the bedrooms, blackout in the nursery, and motorization paired to your smart-home setup. No three-month wait while a custom roller ships from a warehouse two states over.

The Northlake Bill On A Single-Zone Open Plan

Northlake new builds tend to share a single HVAC zone across the open-plan great room, kitchen, and primary suite. That works fine in February. In August it does not. Cellular shades on the west-facing rooms, plantation shutters in the front, and exterior solar screens on the back patio pay back in the first full summer. The HVAC stops short-cycling, the upstairs bedrooms stop running hotter than the kitchen, and the western primary stops running ten degrees hotter than the kitchen.

What Northlake Looks Like At Move-In Day

The Northlake closing date is the deadline that matters. The realtors and buyer's agents who work this corner of DFW will tell you the listings that sell faster are the ones where the new owners had window treatments measured pre-closing. A Harvest two-story with motorized shades paired to HomeKit on move-in night photographs differently for the next listing in five years than the identical floor plan with brown paper still taped over the glass. A Pecan Square plan with plantation shutters in the formal dining at the housewarming reads finished. Durrell coordinates with builders all over Northlake to make sure the install lines up with the calendar.

The Process

How A Northlake New-Build Order Lines Up With Your Closing

Three steps. One owner-operator. One phone number. The person who answers the call writes the quote and hangs the product. Builder coordination included.

01

The Pre-Closing Walk-Through

Durrell coordinates with your builder for a measure date as early as the schedule allows. You walk the rooms together, decide what goes where, and confirm the smart-home rough-in. The recommendation gets built around your actual move-in calendar, not a one-size-fits-all package.

02

The Laser Measure & The Written Quote

Every opening laser-measured to the sixteenth. The cathedral foyer window in your Harvest plan, the great-room glass in the Pecan Square build, the bay window in the breakfast room of your Canyon Falls custom. The quote is itemized line by line on the kitchen table before Durrell leaves.

03

Install Lines Up With Move-In

Two to four weeks after deposit, Durrell installs the same week your movers come. Motors paired to your smart-home setup, kid-safe lifts on the lower-floor rooms, blackout in the nursery. You get photos of the finished install on your phone that evening.

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

Yes, where the builder allows it. Most Harvest, Pecan Square, and Canyon Falls superintendents will coordinate a pre-closing measure visit. Durrell handles the scheduling so the order can be cut and ready to install the same week your movers come.

Yes. Northlake new builds run a single HVAC zone across an open-plan footprint with a lot of west-facing glass. Cellular shades on the west-facing rooms plus exterior solar screens over the back patio take real dollars off the August and September bill.

Durrell personally covers Northlake, Argyle, Justin, Roanoke, Trophy Club, Westlake, Keller, Denton, Flower Mound, Fort Worth, Southlake, Colleyville, Grapevine, Arlington, Granbury, Weatherford, and Gainesville, plus the smaller towns in between across Tarrant, Denton, Parker, Hood, Wise, and Cooke counties.

Yes. Durrell uses the builder's hardwired runs where they were roughed in correctly, and pairs the motors to your existing smart-home hub. Where the builder did not pre-wire, battery motors work the same way without pulling a wire.

Yes, every shape. The cathedral foyer in a Harvest plan, the great-room transom in Pecan Square, the bay window in a Canyon Falls breakfast room, the half-window flanking the stair on a Wildwood custom. Every order is custom-built, so the shape is not the constraint.

Two to four weeks from the measure. For Northlake new builds, Durrell starts the clock as early as the builder allows, so the install can line up with the move-in week rather than running months after.

About an hour, mostly conversation. Durrell walks the rooms with you, takes measurements, shows samples, and writes the itemized quote. If you want to think it over, you think it over. There is no follow-up sales-call schedule, no "today only" pricing, and no deposit asked for 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.
