Window treatments for Franktown acreage homes

Franktown is just east of Castle Rock and well inside our regular service area. We come out to acreage homes and ranches in Bannockburn, Burning Tree Ranch, Russellville and the rest of the 80116 ZIP code, bring samples, measure every window, and give you an itemized price before we leave.

Why local matters

One local company, from the first visit to the last service call

The person who measures your windows works for the same company as the installer and the person who answers the warranty call, so nothing gets lost between them.

  • The only Hunter Douglas Gallery showroom for interior window coverings in Castle Rock, and an authorized dealer since 2003
  • Our own salaried installers, never subcontractors
  • A lifetime product warranty, plus 5 years of free in-home service with parts, labor, and the trip charge included
  • One appointment, where we measure, recommend, and give you an itemized price on the spot
Hours
  • Monday – Friday: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM

Designing for Franktown

What we weigh in a Franktown home

Franktown is unincorporated Douglas County, with acreage subdivisions and ranches, much of it among ponderosa pine. A home on acreage can need different things than a house on a city street.

When sun matters more than privacy

Lots in subdivisions like Burning Tree Ranch average about five acres, and county rules allow one home per five or 35 acres across much of the area. On an acreage home with privacy from the land around it, sun control may matter more than screening the view, and a screen shade you can see through may be the right answer. A Castle Rock custom home on a lot ringed by pines worked that way.

Big rooms and high windows

If your home has high windows, a vaulted great room or a wall of south-facing glass, motorization makes the shades easy to use, because they open and close by remote, by app or on a schedule you set once.

Patios that face the view

A patio or deck that faces open land faces the weather too, so we look at its sun and wind exposure before suggesting an exterior screen. In The Canyons in Castle Pines we fitted two solar-powered Shade Sense screens, cut on a bias to follow a sloped patio floor.

Ponderosa country

Much of Franktown sits among ponderosa pine. The Colorado State Forest Service's wildfire plan for Burning Tree Ranch describes pine over Gambel oak on dry south- and west-facing slopes, and those same exposures bring hard afternoon sun into a house. We look at which way each room faces before we suggest a fabric.

Where we go

Across Franktown

Franktown itself is a small community where Highways 83 and 86 meet, but its 80116 ZIP code covers a wide rural area. These are some of the subdivisions in it.

“I purchased a 5800 sq ft home with many windows that had absolutely no blinds. Due to the magnitude of the job, I had several companies come out to measure and put together ideas and estimates. Lucas with Value blinds and shutters was great- he measured everything and took the time to discuss pros and cons of which blinds might work and look best given the style of the home. He worked hard to win our business over the competitors. The install was very professional and completed a little ahead of schedule! I was very pleased with the end product as well as the ease of working with Lucas. I would highly recommend them!”
— Leslie M.

Franktown questions

Questions about window treatments in Franktown

Is Franktown too far out for you?

No. Franktown is right next door to Castle Rock, where our showroom is, and it is part of our regular service area. Rural addresses get the same visit, the same samples and the same itemized price as anywhere else.

Do you work on ranch houses and horse properties, not just new custom homes?

Yes. An older ranch house on acreage and a new custom home get the same process: we look at every room, which way it faces and how you use it, then recommend what fits. Every product is made to your measurements, whatever the age of the house.

Can motorized shades work on a rural property?

Yes. Motorized shades can run on rechargeable batteries or be hardwired during a build. Exterior screens can even run on a small solar panel, like the two on the patio in The Canyons in Castle Pines.

What is the best choice for a two-story great room facing south?

Usually a motorized screen or sheer shade, so you can cut the glare from the floor without losing the view. If the room also gets cold in winter, a honeycomb shade adds insulation. We bring samples so you can see each one in your own light.

How long from first visit to install?

About four weeks after the deposit for most orders, because everything is custom built. New construction and big whole-house orders take longer, and we can plan around your build. Call 303-663-8120 to schedule the visit.

Who installs, and is there a warranty?

Our own salaried installers do every job, and you get their photo before they come. Products carry a lifetime product warranty, and in-home service visits are free for the first 5 years, parts, labor and the trip charge included.
