Four Treatments Plano Homeowners Reach For First
Plano packs more housing styles into one city than most of North Texas. A Haggard Park bungalow from the 1910s with original wavy glass. A Willow Bend traditional from 1987 with formal dining and a transom over the front door. A Legacy West condo facing east into the morning sun. A new build off Coit with a two-story great room and a wall of glass aimed at the western fence. The four below are what Jake and Jonathan write up most often at the kitchen table during a Plano consultation, and each one solves a different problem.
Cellular Shades to Tame the Plano Electric Bill
Plano summers used to feel manageable. A run of 105-degree weeks changes the math on every west-facing window in the house. Cellular shades hold a pocket of air against the glass and slow the heat before it reaches the thermostat, which means the AC stops short-cycling at 3 p.m. and the upstairs bedrooms stop running ten degrees warmer than the kitchen. Jake and Jonathan size each cell to the exact opening, so the seal works the way the engineering promises.
Motorized Shades for Two-Story Great Rooms and Tall Foyers
Eighty percent of Plano two-stories west of Preston Road have a foyer window or a great-room wall of glass that nobody wants to operate from a fifteen-foot ladder. Motorized shades drop on a schedule, lift by remote, or run off a phrase to Alexa or HomeKit. Jake and Jonathan pair them to whatever you already have running on the wall, so the wife's morning routine in the primary bedroom and the husband's late-game blackout in the media room both happen without anyone touching a cord.
Exterior Solar Screens So Your Pool Deck Stays Usable in July
Half of Plano has a backyard pool, and half of those pool decks face west into the brutal late-afternoon glare off concrete and water. Heavy-gauge exterior solar shades cut the temperature at the screen, not after it has already cooked the patio furniture. The view of the yard stays. The kids can actually sit out there at 4 p.m. The pool pump runs a little less because the surface temperature stops climbing. The grill still smokes you out, but at least you can stand next to it.
Plantation Shutters That Read Plano Traditional
Plano's resale buyer is picky. The realtors will tell you the same thing: builder-grade two-inch faux blinds in the front-of-house rooms read like a deal-killer at showing time, especially on the Willow Bend and Deerfield streets where the comps are five hundred grand. Custom plantation shutters in the dining room, front parlor, and primary bedroom read like the house has been cared for. Jake and Jonathan build to the actual frame, paint to match the trim that is already there, and the install adds something appraisers can see in the photos.
Meet Jake & Jonathan
Jake Wade and Jonathan Arosamena run their own quotes, their own installs, and their own callbacks across Plano. They have measured pre-war bungalows on H Avenue, 1980s traditionals in Willow Bend, 1990s two-stories along Russell Creek, and brand-new Legacy West condos with floor-to-ceiling glass. The consultation is one of them in your living room, not a salesperson with a tablet. The install is the same two people who took the measurement. If a motor needs reprogrammed two months later, it is still the same phone number.
Working the Whole Plano Map, Not One Zip Code
Plano is not one neighborhood. The kitchen window in a 1910 Haggard Park cottage and the wall of glass in a Tucker Plaza condo do not get the same answer. Jake and Jonathan have quoted both this month. They know which streets in Willow Bend have arched transoms that need a custom shutter shape, which Legacy West buildings already wired for motorized at the framing stage, and which Deerfield two-stories have the stair-flight window nobody else wants to bid. You get two installers who actually know Plano street by street.
Measured Twice. Installed Once. By Two People. Not a Crew Rotation.
Every quote starts with a laser measure to the sixteenth, including the older Plano homes where window frames have shifted three-quarters of an inch in eighty years. Builder-grade in a 1990s Plano two-story will fit a half-inch off on the second floor and nobody catches it until install day. Jake and Jonathan find that in the measure, write the order to match the actual opening, and the result is one install Saturday rather than three return trips while a re-cut shade ships back from the manufacturer.

ExploreThree Plano Houses That Walk Through the Door Every Week
A Haggard Park bungalow from 1910 with original sashes that nobody has touched in decades. A West Plano two-story with a wall of glass aimed at the western fence. A Legacy West condo with floor-to-ceiling glass and an HOA that does not allow drilling into the column. Three different houses, three completely different answers, all written up the same week. Here is how Jake and Jonathan handle each one.
Downtown Plano and Haggard Park: Built to the Frame, Not the Catalog
The bungalows in Haggard Park Historic District and the cottages tucked behind Downtown Plano were milled by hand a century ago. The frames are not square anymore. The trim has six coats of paint on it. Stock blinds from a warehouse store will leave gaps you can see from the street and chip a piece of original trim on the way in. Jake and Jonathan measure to what is on the wall now, build the order to fit, and install without disturbing the wood that has been there since President Taft.
Legacy West Condos and West Plano New Builds: Ready on Closing Day
Closing on a Legacy West tower or a brand-new build off the Tollway? Jake and Jonathan coordinate with the builder or the property manager so the treatments are ordered before the keys change hands. Move-in day you have privacy in the bedroom, blackout in the nursery, and motorization paired to whatever smart-home setup you already have running. No two-month wait while a special fabric ships from a warehouse three states over.
The Plano Energy Bill, Front to Back
Nine months of hard sun, six weeks of real cold, and one ice storm a year that catches the entire metro flat-footed. Plano electric bills in July have not stopped climbing. Cellular shades on the west-facing rooms, plantation shutters in the front of the house, and exterior solar screens over the pool deck pay back in a single summer for most Plano homes. The AC stops short-cycling. The hardwoods stop fading. The west-facing primary stops running ten degrees hotter than the kitchen.
What Plano Realtors Actually Notice at Showing Time
Plano resale is a competitive market with picky buyers, and the houses that move quickly tend to have one thing in common at the showing: the windows are finished. A Willow Bend traditional with plantation shutters in the formal dining room photographs differently in the MLS listing than the identical floor plan three doors down with builder-grade two-inch faux. A West Plano two-story with motorized shades on the great-room transom catches every buyer walking through on a Saturday tour. A Legacy West condo with cellular shades on the east-facing primary closes faster because the staging photos do not show a glaring orange sunrise on the bedroom wall. Jake and Jonathan walk through the room-by-room math during the consultation, but the resale pattern is the same across every Plano zip code.
From the First Phone Call to the Last Shade on the Wall in Plano
Three steps. Two installers. One phone number. The same two people who answer the call also write the quote and hang the product. No measure tech handing the order to a stranger at install time.
The In-Home Walk-Through
Jake or Jonathan shows up with the full sample case and the catalog. You walk every room together. They ask how the house actually lives - which kid keeps the blinds drawn, which room gets used for dinners, which window the dog parks under at 2 p.m. - and the recommendation gets built around that, not around the most expensive option on page seven.
The Laser Measure & the Written Quote
Every opening laser-measured to the sixteenth. Bay windows in Willow Bend, transoms on a Deerfield front door, the arched gable in a 1990s two-story off Coit. The quote is itemized line by line and across the table before they leave. Nothing is bundled into a vague "installation" category. No deposit pressure if you want to think it over for a week.
The Install Day
Two to four weeks after you sign, Jake and Jonathan are back in your driveway with the install kit. Everything goes up in one visit. They program the motors, pair them to your Alexa or HomeKit, walk you through how each piece operates, and haul the cardboard out before they leave. You get photos of the finished install that evening.
Window Treatment F.A.Q.'s for Plano, TX
Both, every week. Jake and Jonathan quote bungalows in Haggard Park and Downtown Plano in the morning and then drive across Preston Road to laser-measure a 2024 two-story in West Plano in the afternoon. East and West Plano are two different housing-stock conversations, but the consultation process is the same.
Yes. Plano summers run hot and long. The combination of cellular shades on the west-facing rooms and exterior solar screens over the pool deck takes meaningful money off the July and August Oncor bill. Most Plano homeowners notice the difference in the first full billing cycle after install.
Jake and Jonathan personally cover Plano, Frisco, McKinney, Celina, Sherman, and the towns in between across Collin, Denton, and Grayson counties. Same free in-home consultation, same two-installer install. The wider Love Is Blinds Texas network has additional teams across DFW, Central, and East Texas.
Yes. Most Legacy West and similar high-rise communities require an exterior-facing fabric or color to keep the building's facade consistent. Jake and Jonathan know the look-throughs the major buildings ask for and order to match. They also pull the necessary parking and freight elevator reservations so install day does not turn into a building-management fight.
Yes, all the odd shapes. Arched gables, transom windows above Haggard Park front doors, bay windows in the formal living rooms of Willow Bend traditionals, the stair-flight half-windows in 1990s Deerfield two-stories. Every order is custom-built, so the shape itself is not a problem - the measurement is what has to be exact, and that is the part Jake and Jonathan handle in person.
Two to four weeks from the consultation in most cases. Custom plantation shutters can sit on the longer end of that window because they are built to your specific frame. Jake and Jonathan put the timeline in the quote before any deposit and do not collect for anything they cannot deliver on time.
About an hour, mostly conversation. Jake or Jonathan 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. Jake and Jonathan pair every motor on install day and test against your specific setup before they pack the toolbox.
