It’s true that replacement windows save money in energy costs. It’s true that the proper replacement windows, installed properly can add value to your home. It’s true that the cost to replace windows today is by comparison, cheaper then it has ever been. These are all truths about window replacement that have a provable factual basis. What is also true is that 70% of homes 10 years old or more can benefit from the installation of replacement windows. Of course, the older the home the greater the benefit will likely be, words of wisdom that you’ve probably heard before as well.

Over time window sealing effectiveness deteriorates and energy is lost through the leaks around windows. Of course that information isn’t new either. So to save energy or add value, home owners often replace windows and doors without considering some of the negative aspects of having a tightly sealed home.

Actually negative might be the wrong word to use. I hesitate at using the word negative, because it might sound as if I were advocating against replacement windows, which is not the case at all. Rather I think it is important to be aware of changes that replacing windows might bring about in the home. Two things come to mind that may need to be addressed along with windows and door replacement. These things can cause some potentially serious problems.

The first that comes to mind is the changes in indoor air pressure. If you have electric heat or a newer (within the last 5 years or so) thermo efficient gas or propane heating system, air pressure may not be a concern. Still you may want to think about the information presented and apply it to investigating your own home situation.

Why would we be concerned about air pressure in the home? Many homes over the last ten to twenty years, in many parts of the country have opted for such things as under floor and baseboard hot water heating, systems that utilize a boiler to heat water and circulate it throughout the home for heating purposes. When these systems were originally being installed, little thought was given to where the oxygen would be coming from that would complete the combustion process that the boilers need to heat the water.

Why would we need to think about such things? Well twenty years ago we probably didn’t need to. But with homes being build tighter and tighter all the time, it has become more of a concern, here’s why.

A gas or propane heating system, regardless of how it operates, either by circulating hot water from a boiler or via an induction type forced air system; they all require air, or oxygen to complete the combustion process to create heat. So where does this oxygen come from. Well for the most part it comes from the air that we utilize inside our homes. In older homes, where there were always tiny leaks in different places throughout the home made it possible for these heating systems to draw in enough air to operate smoothly. People never really noticed any problems and paid the cost of fuel. Already you might be seeing the fallacy in thinking everything was well.

• Air comes in through tiny cracks around windows and doors

• Heating system burns air from within the home to heat the home, causing more air to be drawn in through tiny cracks around windows and doors (cold air)

• Temperature falls because of the influx of outside air around leaky windows and doors

• Heating system burns air from within the home to heat the home, causing more air to be drawn in through tiny cracks around windows and doors (cold air)

• Temperature falls because of the influx of outside air around leaky windows and doors

You get the idea, and all this time homes were hemorrhaging money via fuel consumption. No one thought about it too much until the cost of fuel and energy started to climb rapidly. So people begin to attack the problem but where to start. Usually two areas of thought prevail, and those are more insulation, and stopping up the cold air flow around windows and door. It’s what we were told to do right? Absolutely.

So now we seal up the windows and doors either by replacement or maintenance, add more insulation and the result is a nice warm tightly sealed home that is more energy efficient right?

Yes and possibly no. Here is the catch for older homes with out dated heating systems. Creating a tightly sealed home can actually cause your older heating system to work harder and use more energy. How is that possible? By sealing up all those places where the heating system was drawing oxygen for combustion, we have effectively starved that combustion almost to death. Sometimes that sealing off of incoming air it so effective as to make that system quite ineffective as a heating source and creates negative air pressure in the home.

How can you know if you have a negative air pressure situation? Just open a door. If you hear air suck past a door when opened while the heating system is engaged, then you can be almost certain that a negative air pressure situation exists. If a negative air pressure situation exist, then you can be assured that your heating system isn’t running as efficiently as it should. It isn’t getting enough oxygen to complete the combustion process properly, thus wasting fuel. Another big clue that you have a negative air pressure situation is that you find a point or two that you now notice very cold air coming from in the home that you never noticed before. Not that the spot is by comparison cooler then others in the home, places where you can actually feel the cold air rushing in.

The reason that these cold spots develop in a negative air pressure situation, after windows and doors are replace is because your heating system that in the past had multiple places to draw air from, now only has a very few, and to maintain the combustion process, it must draw a greater volume of air from the few remaining sources making them more noticeable.

So we fix one problem and end up with another. But the solution is rather simple. Just replace the heating system. Simple right? Ok, so that isn’t funny, but there is a lesson to be learned, which new heating systems have taken into account.

New heating systems generally take into account that homes are more tightly sealed then ever before, and in knowing this they have provided the heating system with its own outside air source. Usually a two or three inch PVC pipe through an outside wall, one that is as close as possible to the unit’s location. In doing so, the need to draw air through the rest of the house is effectively eliminated, while supplying all the oxygen needed for healthy and energy efficient combustion at the heating unit.

The reason that the outside air source needs to be as close as possible has to do with the path of least resistance law of flow. Air just like water will take the path of least resistance when flowing. If the provided outside air source is too far away, and the system can draw oxygen from a closer source easier, it will do so.

In part two of this article I will discus another major concern that may need to be dealt with when replacing the windows in your home.

Installation of our signs is very easy. Whether you have selected an aluminum, vinyl or Aluma Lite, you should be able to install your sign within a few minutes. Each type of sign will have different installation requirements. Here are some quick installation tips to assist you.

Aluminum Sign Installation

Our aluminum signs can be installed using a simple post or pole, or by attaching it to a wall. If you plan to install a sign using a pole, you will need to have a fence post digger, as well as brackets to attach the sign to the pole. A post should be approximately 7-8 feet long before it is buried. For optimal safety and security, two feet of this post should be buried under ground. You can then attach the sign using your brackets.

If you plan to install your sign on a wall, you will need to have a drill, as well as screws and washers. You may need a masonry or wood drill bit, depending on the installation surface. The washers should be placed behind the sign, against the wall.

You can also use a sign stand if you plan to temporarily display your sign. This works well for indoor installation as well. These stands can range in material from plastic to metal. A sign stand can be purchased at a local home improvement store or a hardware store.

Aluma Lite Sign Installation

Our aluma lite signs are large and may require extra installation help if you are not comfortable with installing it yourself. These signs are typically located on the roof or a wall of your building and can be attached using brackets or heavy duty screws. You can contact a local contractor for installation help.

Vinyl Sign Installation

Our vinyl signs can be installed using screws and washers, or by attaching a cord through the grommets of your sign. For permanent installation, you will need to use a drill, again, with either a masonry or wood drill bit as well as screws and washers. The washers should be placed between the grommets and the wall. The screws can then be inserted through the grommets to secure your sign.

If you plan to use rope or a cord to hang your sign, you will need to thread the cord through the grommets. You should leave enough length on either end of your sign to secure it to either hooks or brackets on the wall. It is important to have an equal length of cord on either side of the sign to ensure that your sign will hang evenly. If necessary, a support can be placed at the center of your sign to ensure that it does not sag.

Replacement Windows Save Money


Would you be surprised to learn that the money saved in home heating and cooling costs can actually be enough to pay for the replacement windows in a matter of just a few years? It’s no myth. Installing new high efficiency windows in an otherwise well insulated, efficient home will reduce energy usage by a remarkable amount.


Replacement Windows Save Energy


Let’s not forget about one of the most important benefits of maintaining an efficient home, besides the expense factor alone. Putting in new replacement windows to reduce energy usage is also a great way to have a part in making the world a greener place.


Replacement Windows Add Value


Another major financial benefit to swapping out those old drafty windows with brand new air tight quality replacement windows is the value they add to a home.

As you plot and plan your retirement, there may be some things you are forgetting. Is your home maintenance free?

 

There are many things a person can do to their house to make it maintenance free.  Many seniors don’t think about this option and some attempt to do their own maintenance and instead end up in the Hospital Emergency Room.

 

The first thing you can do is prominently post a sign by your front door stating, “No Canvassers, Swindlers or Salespersons welcome.” That sign lets people know real quick what you think about them and just how welcome they are.

 

I was a contractor for many years. I was also an author and knowledgeable about the aging baby boomers and their need to have a maintenance free home in their great grey years. So I designed several ways a home owner could almost make their home completely maintenance free.

 

A rusted out leaking chimney cap can cause severe water damage in an unattended home. Depending on your environment they need replaced every 10-20 years. You can use a rust remover to preserve them or you can buy a stainless steel or aluminum chimney cap and not have to worry about it again.

 

Annual gutter cleaning can be avoided with durable gutter guards. Plastic or rust proof are preferable. Replace average down spouts with larger ones for a worry free gutter system. Having a drain tile system in place is also very convenient and removes possible water damage problems to the foundation of your home.

 

One area of a house that is always prone to rotting and water damage is the soffit and fascia. You can either use vinyl or durable hardy board siding to cover the wood to eliminate this problem.  Having this siding on the whole exterior of your house is also advisable for a maintenance free lifestyle.

 

Removing or replacing a wood fence with a vinyl fence can be costly, but it will never need a repair or to be replaced either. To eliminate weed eating around a perimeter fence, dig a 6 inch trench under the whole length of the fence and pour concrete into it.

 

Docks or decks can be made with plastic wood planks to last forever.

 

Metal roofs are maintenance free as well as energy efficient.

 

Sealing cracks in concrete with an elastic polymer crack sealant will add many years of life to a concrete driveway.

 

Replacing house numerals, mailboxes, and any exterior metal fixtures with plastic ones will eliminate future problems during your lazy retirement.

 

You can add many years of extra life to you’re A/C unit as well as slashing your electric bill by putting radiant barrier in your attic. It is the best and most cost efficient way to cut your electric bill, as well as doing your part to save our environment.

 

If you insist on keeping your wood exterior you can make a very strong and durable paint that is also energy efficient by adding ceramic microspheres to the paint.

 

I’ve had more then one customer explain to me how they were on the roof and slipped trying to make a repair on their own. They had the battle wounds to prove it. Plan a maintenance free retirement home and enjoy your life. You earned it.

Replacing old, drafty windows won’t just improve your home’s appearance, it could also save you money.

Windows are an important part of the form and function of your home. They’re one of the most noticeable exterior features of your home, and are probably the first thing that catches the eye a prospective buyer passing through your neighborhood. Also, windows contribute to the interior beauty of your home by providing natural light to certain areas.

In addition to their aesthetic qualities, windows can also have an impact on your energy bill.

Windows are an important part of your home’s style and function. They contribute to the energy efficiency and décor of your home. The articles below will help you select and install new windows, repair or replace a broken window, and decorate your windows with stylish window treatments.

According to EnergyStar, the U.S. government organization tasked with assessing product energy efficiency, homeowners spend half their average yearly power bill on heating and cooling. Old drafty windows do a terrible job of keeping warm air inside during the winter and cool air inside in the summer, and could potentially cost you hundreds of dollars in additional energy consumption.

Determining the condition of your current windows should be step one of any window replacement project. Inspect existing window frames, sills and surrounding exterior siding for any possible damage. Also ensure your windows are working properly by opening and closing them.

Choosing what type of window material you want to use is the next step. Solid wood frames are the traditional favorite, but also are expensive, don’t age well and require lots of maintenance. Vinyl frames are cheaper, but usually only come in white and tend to fade over time. Aluminum window frames provide longevity, but are the most expensive.

Glass type and window design should be your next consideration. Certain areas of your home, like near a bathtub, stairs or window seat, will require tempered glass, which is more expensive. Also, large windows and windows with elaborate grids or designs will also add to the overall cost of your window project. Be sure to factor all of this in when setting a budget for your project.

After making these decisions, you may decide to hire a contractor for the project. Shop around for price quotes, inquire into prospective contractors’ work reputations, and if decide to do it yourself, make sure to read lots of books and instructional materials so you know what you’re doing before you start your project.

A new set of windows can give your house a major facelift, improving its market value and energy efficiency, but only if you make the right decisions. Be informed and be aware and your new windows will prove to be a worthwhile investment.

Before a window was simply a part of the house primarily used to let one see what’s going on outside. But nowadays homeowners are asking a lot more functionality from their windows. Windows are now expected to do just what we hope to get from our abode:  protect us from the environmental elements outside. That is, keep us warm during cold days and cold on warm days. Pretty simple, don’t you think?

The thing however, is, not all windows have the properties to do this. How many of us have had to retreat to the confines of a cooler basement in the summer? Or found our home drafty in the winter? These situations don’t exactly make for the most comfortable living conditions, do they? If you are experiencing the same problems in your home, don’t worry. There’s a simple solution to this predicament. And no, it doesn’t involve packing up and finding a new house. Just these: replacement windows.

Replacement windows – What are they?

If your house is getting to cold or too hot depending on the season, or if your electricity bill is just too high, chances are, your windows are not working as efficiently as they should. When this happens, then it’s time to literally go “window shopping.”

Replacement windows come in many different styles, to fit almost any window type and need. As the name suggests, replacement windows are those that you substitute your old windows with for the purpose of making your home more cost and energy efficient.  For this reason, replacement windows are usually insulated glass units or double-pane windows. While single-pane windows still have some use in certain types of houses and climates, they are slowly becoming a thing of the past.

What makes an insulated replacement window ideal for today’s need is that it consists of two glass panels with air space between them – effective for keeping the heat or cold out or in, whichever way you want it.

Replacement windows for energy efficiency

With the increasing emphasis on energy conservation and energy efficiency these days, replacement windows addresses all these concerns, not only making life better for the homeowner, but also helping to preserve our world for future generations.

Different materials used and the technology applied on replacement windows largely determine how efficient these are going to be. First, the glass panes could be coated or not. Glass panes that are applied with a thin coating of metallic oxide that helps to  prevent heat from passing through are called “Low e” or low emissivity glass.

Manufacturers also put gases in between panes to further delay the movement of heat in the air space. Argon and Krypton make for the most efficient and expensive windows, while dehydrated air is contained in the more affordable types. For spacing material, aluminum used to be commonly used although as this is a heat conductor, stainless steel, composite metal, and rubber are now being used as well. Finally, the window frame material itself is also contributory to the efficiency level of the windows. Window companies commonly use metal frames, wood, or vinyl-clad wood for this purpose.

The right combination of all these factors can make for replacement windows that will not only make your home warm and comfortable, but keep the bills down as well.

Looking for the right replacement windows

Before going out and actually making that purchase, make sure you have your window replacement basics down pat. Find out what styles there are available and which fit your house and your budget perfectly. Then when you’ve narrowed your list down to a few types, go out and a do a “hands-on” test of these windows and see which have the best feel to it.

Remember that energy efficient windows make your house more attractive, more comfortable, allows you a lot of savings, and increases the value of your home. So go ahead and invest on good replacement windows because in the long run, it will be well worth it.

Sod is exceptionally inexpensive way to bring your lawn to life. Sod is grown on sod farms and pre-cut and rolled up in 3’ x 1’ squares. Not just any body can lay sod properly. There are several aspects to consider when laying sod. First, the grade must be set accordingly for efficient drainage. New top spoil is needed so the sod has fresh, nutrient rich dirt. The seams of each piece of sod must be staggered so the sod does not wash away from heavy rain or floods. This will also promote optimal settling. After the sod is laid, it is extremely important to keep the sod saturated for the first 3-4 weeks. Before a lawn mower can go on the sod, test the corners of sod by grabbing a handful of the grass and lift up. If it takes significant strength to lift it is safe to trim with a lawn mower.

Flower Beds are a fantastic way to accent the décor of your landscape. Creating a new flower bed can be quite tasking. A general design before hand is helpful in order to be satisfied with the finished product. In many cases, grass and sod needs to be removed, along with unwanted plants or shrubbery. The next step would be to out line the flower bed with vinyl edging or better yet stone. New top soil is ideal especially if you plan to plant flowers or shrubs. To prevent weeds, consider buying a roll of nylon weed block to lie down before decorative stone or mulch. It would be best to hire a landscape service to handle creating your new flower bed and planting.

Planting is a very delicate process. Certain plants need to be planted at certain times, certain depths and methods. Most plants do come with planting instructions. For optimal plant life and appearance, you should follow the planting instructions exact. Some of the things to consider is where the plant is going, how big does it get and are there any underground obstructions such as electrical and gas lines that can be severed while digging. It is in your best interest to look into hiring a reputable landscape service.

When choosing replacement windows, you want to get the best value from the service provider that you are hiring. The right decision can save you lots of time and money. The wrong decision may result in undesirable consequences such as incurring unexpected repair costs. Therefore, it is important that you hire the best firms to install the windows for you.

Usually, window replacement companies offer no obligation in house consultations. Before contacting them, you should have a general idea of the type of windows that you want. When the consultants arrive, they will be able to give you better advise on your various options, and whether your ideas are feasible and practical or not. There are several issues you need to consider before coming to a final decision.

Workmanship and professional installation.

The Company that you hire must be able to show that they have excellent workmanship, and offers professional installation. You can assess the service provider by looking at previous works that the firm has completed. Or you can simply ask a few questions during a face to face consultation to determine whether the people know what their work really well.

Besides installation advice, professional firms should be provide value added advice such as insurance coverage, securing financing, property damage, and more.

Warranty period.

This is something that you must remember to ask. The warranty period is the duration where you are entitled to repairs in the event of damage so that you don’t incur additional costs. For example, glass breakage or seal failure should be covered. The conditions of the warranty should be well defined in the contract. Professional firms should be able to offer lifetime warranty.

Lifetime warranty does not mean that the warranty lasts forever. But the warranty lasts for a long time – as long as 50 years. This warranty must be transferable, just in case the property is sold.

Energy saving.

The type of glass used actually helps to save energy. Energy savings can be as high as 40%. Here is how it works.

In summer, the special glass reflects long wave heat energy back to the outdoors. This helps to save cooling costs.

In winter, the special glass reflects low wave heat energy back into the house, thus helping to save on heating costs.

In this way, your decision to replace windows with energy saving glass panels will help you save money in the long run. This is commonly known as the Energy Star program.

All Energy Star windows must be NFRC rated, and properly labeled for both heat loss and heat gain. This is necessary to help consumers make decisions more easily.

Finally, choose window frames that match the overall design of your house. There are many different types of designs available. So surely, there will be something that will match your current design. Some glass panels even come in different shades and colors. Make sure that you choose something that suits your personal tastes!

Although the housing market has finally managed to pull itself out of the recent slump, those who are currently looking to sell their houses may still encounter a degree of difficulty. After all, most potential buyers are still trying to underbid on quality homes by capitalizing on the effects of the past couple of years. And given the competition of the market, it can be difficult for an average homeowner to set his house apart from similar properties in the area.

 

When your home is for sale

If your home has been on the real estate market for far too long without a buyer, it might be time to take some steps in order to get it sold. Certain interior improvements can appeal to buyers on a large scale because most buyers these days are interested in spacious kitchens, upgraded bathrooms and storage space that go above and beyond their general expectations.

 

However, although some improvements can make your house more appealing, they will not necessarily help move your house off the market faster. After all, it’s not a secret that most buyers prefer high-end kitchens and bathrooms coupled with ample storage. And for this reason, a large percentage of homeowners have made such improvements to the best of their abilities. But on the other hand, many sellers seem to be neglecting the importance of the exterior.

 

How to improve the exterior

A.W. Ross is the controller of Lundberg Roofing, Windows & Siding, a business that has been serving the Charlotte, North Carolina area since 1979, and according to him, exterior improvements can increase the value of your home and make it far more marketable in the process. If you’re serious about selling your house, you should be aware that when potential buyers arrive to scope out your property, the exterior will be the first thing that they see. Therefore, it’s a good idea to focus your cash-based energy on improving the appearance of your home.

 

The addition of siding or siding replacement can improve the exterior of your home. In recent years, vinyl siding has become an affordable yet attractive option for outdoor enhancement. It is available in a variety of colors and can do an excellent job insulating as well as covering a worn household facade. Since vinyl siding is known for its ability to save homeowners money throughout the years on heating and cooling, it is a wise method of home improvement for those who are looking to set their houses apart from the rest.

 

Adding a new roof is another way to improve the exterior. A buyer will certainly hesitate to take the house if he has to deal with a deteriorating leaking roof down the line. Therefore, if your current roof is older and isn’t in the best of shape, adding a new roof might be a worthwhile investment.

 

Adding a patio, deck or sunroom can enhance your open-air space if you happen to live in the area where the climate is conducive to outdoor living all year round. While some buyers might be content to simply drag out some lawn chairs and plant them next to the grill in the backyard, others are looking for defined spaces and areas for outdoor dining and entertainment.

 

In short, if you want to give your home a leg up on the local competition, you’ll need to highlight the aspects with which other houses in the area can’t compete. By making some or all of the exterior improvements mentioned above, you can increase your chances of selling your home for top dollar.
