Now is a good time to replace energy wasting doors and windows
Winter is coming and now is a great time to get your house ready.
Old doors and windows are not very energy efficient and the small gaps and cracks can let cold air in and warm air out.
New windows and doors can make a big difference in your heating,and cooling needs.
Give us a call to schedual an estimate and get you on the way to saving energy and money.

Window Change Project
Here is a picture of a couple of windows from a window change-out we just did. I wanted to get some "before" pictures but the windows where out by the time I got there with my camera.We also installed new trim to match what was there before.
The customer is in the process of remodeling his house a little at a time. The old windows were in bad shape and that is why we did them first. The home owner is very happy with the outcome and is going to be getting a nice rebate check to boot!

Important Things Planning a Room Addition
I get a lot of people contacting me wanting to do a room addition or some other type of large project.The first thing I ask them is "Do you have plans yet?".
A lot of people think that a contractor is the first person to contact when they
want to do something like this. In reality you should contact an architect.
An architect will help you design your addition and drawn up the plans.
Then you will need to get in contact with a licenced general contractor. The contractor you chose will then take the plans to have them approved and pull all needed permits.
Now, some smaller jobs like patio covers, window replacements, decks, or smaller kitchen and bath remodels do not normally need plans (but in most cases a permit will need to be pulled).
