Window coverings for the ranches and big-lot homes against the Rincons, fitted by your local installer. Out here the day starts with a hard punch of sun. On east-facing windows the sunrise glare comes in low and flat, and on the spacious rural lots there is little around to soften it. Love Is Blinds Arizona offers custom blinds and shades built for Rincon Valley, from solar and roller shades that tame the morning glare to exterior solar screens for patios facing the range. Matt Diaz measures and installs every job himself, drives out to the acreage off Old Spanish Trail and the newer homes near Houghton Road, and matches each treatment to how the room takes the sun. The free in-home consultation is at your kitchen table, at your pace.
Out here against the Rincons the day starts with a hard punch of morning sun. On east-facing windows the sunrise glare comes in low and flat across the floor, and on the big rural lots there is little around to block it. These are the four treatments Matt fits most often in Rincon Valley, sized to your actual openings and chosen for how each room takes the sun, from the easygoing acreage off Old Spanish Trail to the newer homes near Houghton Road.
Real wood and faux wood blinds built to your actual openings, not pulled off a warehouse shelf. The tilt lets you knock down the low morning sun on east-facing rooms while keeping the daylight, and faux wood holds its shape through the dust and heat on a rural lot.
Set outside the glass, exterior solar screens catch the sun at the mesh before it reaches the window. On a covered patio that looks toward the Rincon Mountains they trim 30 to 40% off west and south rooms' cooling work, and the range still reads through the weave.
Roller shades are the easy answer for the sunrise glare on east-facing rooms. Drop a solar fabric while the sun is low and flat, raise it once it climbs, and the room stays usable all morning without going dark. In bedrooms a room-darkening fabric keeps the early light from waking you.
A clean, built-in look that lasts. The wide louvers tilt to angle off the morning sun and close down for privacy on a road-facing room, and the painted finish wipes clean of dust. Matt sizes each panel to the opening on newer subdivision homes and custom builds alike.
The Arizona side of Love Is Blinds belongs to Matt Diaz, who owns it and works it, taking on each Rincon Valley quote, measure, and install on his own. He has driven the acreage off Old Spanish Trail and Camino Loma Alta, the custom homes set well back on big lots against the Rincons, and the newer subdivisions near Houghton Road, and he has learned that the rooms out here catch a hard east-facing morning sun before anything else. Your consultation is Matt at the kitchen table, not a salesperson with a tablet.
The lineup leads with custom blinds and exterior solar screens for the patios facing the Rincons, roller shades for the east-facing morning sun, and plantation shutters and cellular shades close behind. Every product is custom-measured and installed by Matt Diaz.

A ranch on acreage off Old Spanish Trail with a wide bank of east-facing glass that takes the sunrise glare head-on. A custom home set back on a big lot against the Rincons, with a covered patio aimed straight at the range. A newer subdivision home near Houghton Road where the owner wants a clean, finished look on every window. Three different homes, all spacious and easygoing, all sitting in the same hard morning sun.
A wide bank of east-facing glass on an open lot, so the sunrise glare comes in low and flat with nothing to block it. Matt fits roller or solar shades to drop in the morning and raise once the sun climbs, plus room-darkening in the bedrooms.
Set back off Camino Loma Alta with a covered patio aimed straight at the range. Matt fits exterior solar screens on the patio glass to cut the heat, and pairs custom blinds or shutters inside on the rooms that take both morning and afternoon sun.
A recent build on a tidy lot where the owner wants a clean, finished look on every window. Matt outfits the whole house in one order, plantation shutters or roller shades on the east-facing rooms, so the morning sun is handled and the look stays consistent front to back.
The first comfort problem in Rincon Valley is the sunrise. East-facing rooms catch a low, direct glare for the first few hours of the day, and on a big open lot there is little around to soften it, so the floor heats up and the screens wash out before the coffee is poured.
The fix is layered to the room. A solar or roller shade you drop while the sun is low and raise once it climbs keeps the morning usable, exterior solar screens stop the heat on a patio facing the Rincons before it reaches the glass, and cellular shades slow the heat transfer through the window on the rooms that hold it. Across roughly 350 sunny days a year, that steadier indoor temperature is what shows up on the bill. Matt walks every room and matches the treatment to how each one actually takes the sun.
An easygoing three-step run, all of it handled by one local owner.
Matt heads out to your lot at the time you set, the whole sample case along for it: solar and roller fabrics for the east-facing rooms, exterior solar screens for the patio, custom blinds, and plantation shutter swatches. Together you move through each room and pin down where the morning sun lands.
Each opening gets a laser measure to the sixteenth so every treatment is built to the true size rather than cut down from a stock one. The quote comes itemized at the kitchen table, room by room, and nothing is owed until you give the word.
Two to four weeks on, Matt is back in the driveway, every piece fitted to its opening, the packaging carted off, the whole house wrapped in one trip even on a big lot.
