After the installation, Mark kept in touch with us and was able to put a new siding offer on the table that was more in line with our budget (with financing) and we ended up agreeing to that project as well.

- 7 Signs that You Need Summertime Window Replacement ChecklistJuly 19, 2022This Article Will Discuss: Window Replacement Checklist 1. The Windows are Tough to Open and Close 2. Inefficient Storm Windows 3. Rotting Wood, Warped Frames and Moisture Damage 4. Old and Bowed Vinyl Window Frames 5. Seal Failure (Foggy Windows) Inefficient Windows 6. Drafty Windows It was in the heart of a New England summer when Stephanie noticed her energy bills were skyrocketing. Despite her efforts with blackout curtains and bubble wrap insulation, her old wooden windows was letting all the cool air escape. That's when she realized that proper window maintenance in the summer wasn't just about clever tricks, but about understanding and addressing the core issues. If only there was a window replacement checklist for the summer season! Just like Stephanie, many homeowners are seeking effective ways to keep their homes cool while keeping energy bills low. If you're battling with rotted frames, condensation between glass panes, or dated warped vinyl windows, this blog will guide you through maintaining windows in the summer. We're going to show you how to spot issues, solve them, and ensure a comfortable and cost-effective New England summer for your home. If you have old wood windows with rotted frames, condensation between the glass panes, or dated warped vinyl windows, small insulation attempts won’t improve their performance. This blog will show you how to maintain windows in the summer for New England homeowners. 1. The Windows are Tough to Open and Close Do you have a hard time opening and closing the windows? There are several reasons why this may be the case, all while causing different types of problems: The window may no longer properly fit inside the frame. This can happen over many years of the house settling. Non-functional windows make your home vulnerable to break-ins. Be sure that all window locks are properly functioning, including sash locks, window latches, window stays, and vent limit latches. Windows that are painted shut can cause rot and rust, making them non-operable. TIP: Ventilation latches are the small pieces of metal or plastic that are in the top sashes (the top glass area of your double-hung window) of your new windows. When engaged, this feature allows your window to open a few inches to let the breeze inside. Meanwhile, it blocks the window from opening any further to prevent animals, pests, or intruders from entering your home. It can also help discourage children from trying to climb out the window. If your windows don’t easily open and close, this is a performance problem as well as a security problem. When you’re looking into how to maintain windows in the summer, you’ll need to address these issues immediately. 2. Inefficient Storm Windows Although storm windows are engineered to protect wood frames and can even help reduce outdoor noise, they also present several issues. In this part of the window maintenance checklist for summer, we are focusing on why storm windows aren't efficient at keeping your home cool. Wood decay from water that collects inside of the sash. Excessive condensation on the windows. Since storm windows take the brunt of inclement weather and transform into a condensing surface. Storm windows simply aren’t a smart investment, especially if you plan to spring for custom storm windows with wood frames. They are typically too expensive to justify the cost in terms of performance and energy savings. Are your storm windows doing you more harm than good? In 2022, there aren’t many good reasons to have storm windows installed in your home. They don’t look great in terms of curb appeal. Difficult to maintain without unscrewing. Tracks need to be lubricated and kept clean. Causes moisture and mold issues. Lets in less light. Most importantly, offer little-to-no benefits for energy savings. 3. Rotting Wood, Warped Frames and Moisture Damage When you want to know how to maintain windows in the summer, you’ll need to take a close look at the physical condition of your window. Rotting wood and moisture damage is one of the biggest indicators of new window replacement. Rotting wood is soft to the touch and crumbles away when you touch it. To help prevent moisture damage, look for small flaps that cover the weep holes to keep the wind from coming inside. Other signs of moisture damage include discoloration on the windows, cracks, peeling paint, bubbles, and sagging frames. 4. Old and Bowed Vinyl Window Frames Did you install old vinyl windows in the 90s? How are they holding up in 2022? Lately, a lot of New England homeowners are contacting us with problems concerning their old vinyl windows with warping frames. Bowed vinyl windows are becoming more prevalent. Unfortunately, dated vinyl windows from the 90s are built to fail because they are designed with poor quality materials. Alot of them “smile” meaning they bow from not being 100% virgin vinyl. When the window frames are warping, the window is not properly fitting inside the wall, which leads to drafts and other performance problems. Quality Vinyl Frames: Your new windows will be engineered from pure virgin uPVC. Choose window frames that are equipped with a polyurethane insulating foam core. This is key to cutting down on energy loss through all seasons. 5. Seal Failure (Foggy Windows) Inefficient Windows Are your windows foggy? Look to this window maintenance checklist for when you need to worry: When you look out your window, are you looking at a nice and clear view? If all you see is fog that won’t wipe away, you’ll likely have a seal failure and need new windows. A foggy window that won’t wipe away is a sign of seal failure. When a seal breaks inside the window, it won’t properly insulate your home. If there was any argon or krypton inside the panes, it has likely escaped. Summer Window Maintenance Checklist: How to Fix Foggy Windows There are a couple of steps you can take if you discover this issue. You can inquire about your window’s warranty, which may (or may not) cover seal failure. The next consideration you can make is window replacement. This way you’ll know that there is no seal failure and the gas is exactly where it should be inside the panes. Make sure you have a transferable lifetime warranty that covers seal failures- and that it covers the entire sash not just the glass. If you’re wondering how to maintain windows in the summer, you’re likely looking for ways to maximize your energy savings. The good news is that energy efficient technologies will improve your home’s performance with the following: Argon & Krypton Gas: When you hear about replacement windows containing energy efficient gases, this is likely a reference to argon gas. Argon is a gas that’s denser than air. Its purpose is to enhance the thermal efficiency of the window and essentially create an extra barrier to block energy loss. Krypton is even denser than argon, and it also costs more. Krypton gas is also a good fit for the tight chambers of triple pane windows, resulting in an ultra-efficient replacement window for your home. Low-E Glazing: Low-e is an invisible coating that is applied to the glass of your replacement windows. It reflects the sun’s rays during the summer to help keep your home cool. Air Infiltration Ratings: Air leakage rating is incredibly important because it relates to energy loss through your windows. While no windows can give you the same seal as a solid wall, you’ll want to choose windows with a rating as close to 0.3 as possible. 6. Drafty Windows If you have drafty windows, this is a serious sign of air infiltration which majorly impacts the performance of your home. Sometimes homeowners have trouble telling if their windows are drafty, but these tips can help: Your curtains and window treatments move when your windows are closed. You feel warm air coming inside during the summer. It’s summertime now, but it won’t be long until cold temperatures creep into the New England region. Skyrocketing energy bills. This is perhaps one of the biggest (and most costly) signs that your windows need to be replaced. Vinyl window installation will save you money, up to 30%, on your energy bills and keep your home at a comfortable temperature. The Most Important Technologies for Energy Efficient Windows If you’re wondering how to maintain windows in the summer, you’re likely looking for ways to maximize your energy savings.

- Top Home Improvement Ideas To Give Your Home Some TLC This SummerAugust 14, 2021Sure, summer is time for the beach, cookouts, pool/beach time, and relaxation. But it's also the perfect time of year for summer home improvement ideas, which can make a difference in your home all year long! Drum roll . . . here are some great summer home improvement ideas to get started on now! With the nice weather, it is easy to get these updates done before the cooler weather arrives and you can reap the benefits all year long. Summer is here and that means we’ve entered a new season to focus on home maintenance and improvements. Summers can be hot and muggy here in New England, but there are several improvements and fixes you can focus on to make your home as cool and energy efficient as possible. The summer home maintenance tips will get you through the season while helping keep your energy costs in control. Taking care of the projects now could save you from expensive and stressful fixes in the future. #1: Check For Window Energy Loss While opening your windows during the summer, you may have noticed they’re a little worse for wear as well as old windows can cause drafts, while installing new ones can cut your home energy costs in summer. Plus, new windows can be an easy way to transform the look of your home, especially when combined with other home projects. This list of summer home maintenance tips will help you save energy and the #1 culprit is Air Leakage which accounts for the largest heat loss/gain in your home. That’s why we are starting with your windows. Did you know that windows account for up to 30% of your home energy bills? Outdated windows are a primary source for energy loss in the summer especially when running your ACs non-stop. Despite running your AC, your house may still feel warm with high energy bills to boost. If this sounds like you, there is a solution. How to Check for Air Leaks Feel around your windows for hot air that is coming through areas such as the frames or the sash. While homeowners worry about air infiltration problems in the winter, it can be a problem during the summer as well. Reducing air leakage is one of the top ways to keep your home energy efficient! Professional window installation creates an airtight seal against energy loss. This happens when they are measured properly down to the 8th of an inch during a professional critical measurement. Besides Air Leakage, reduce your heat gain during the A/C season by selecting a window with: A glass package rated by Energy Star climate zone having a low U-Factor which measures how well the window prevents heat from entering or escaping the home & provides better insulation. Low solar heat gain coefficient measures how much heat from the sun is blocked. *Very important in the summer! Low E which keeps UV rays reflecting back outside while keeping the energy inside. Help keep the warm air where it belongs---outside your home. #2: Investigate The Cause Of Foggy Windows Looking for more summer home improvement ideas? It's time to address those foggy windows. If the foggy windows seem like they never clear up, this signals a potential problem. Fog on your windows that won’t wipe away is a sign of seal failure. It means that the windows are not performing properly, indicating that the seal is failing. This means the window cannot properly insulate your home in summer or winter. Now that the seal is broken, however, the problem will persist, as its enhanced insulating factor is now gone. First, check to see if your windows come with a lifetime warranty as ours does. If you have permanently foggy windows or if your windows are old- it's time for new window replacement. #3: Reverse Ceiling Fans While this is a quick and easy fix, the direction of your ceiling fans can make a big difference when it comes to keeping your home cool. In fact, reversing your ceiling fans into a counterclockwise spinning motion will push air down from the ceiling and make it feel cooler in the room. It’s easy to adjust the rotation of your ceiling fan. Simply turn the fan off, waiting for it to stop and flip the switch on the side of the fan. From there, make sure that your fan is spinning in a counterclockwise direction. Ceiling fans provide energy-efficient cooling and are a great alternative to AC units. Even if your home has central air, installing a ceiling fan can be a great solution for those extremely hot heat wave days! #4: Finetune Your AC Unit Looking for even more summer home improvement ideas? Consider getting your HVAC unit inspected by a professional. Air conditioning maintenance along with changing the filter to make sure that the AC is working in proper order. It will also help conserve energy and ensure you have air conditioning all summer long. Meanwhile, a clean air conditioning unit can also prevent summer fires. If you’re looking for summer home improvements to save you money, consider installing a programmable thermostat. It’s easy and efficient, allowing you to customize temperature profiles as you see fit. According to Energy Star, you can save an average of $180 in heating and cooling costs by installing programmable thermostats. Smart thermostats, such as those by Nest, operate via wifi and are controlled by your smartphone. You can adjust the temperature of your home while you’re away to save even more in energy costs. They are proven to save up to 12% on heating costs and 15% on cooling costs. For more information on smart thermostats, check out the blog from our partner Homeworks Energy: Is a smart thermostat really worth it? Draining your water heater is one of the simplest home maintenance tasks out there and yields impressive. All it requires is simply draining the water heater to clear the sediment to get more hot water flowing through your pipes. #5: Overhaul Your Entry Door A new entry door makes a big difference in curb appeal and home performance. Many homes have old wood doors from eras gone by, but replacing them with quality fiberglass eliminates maintenance while increasing curb appeal. When you are inspecting your current entry door, look for signs of damage and performance problems such as: Wood rot at the door thresholds compromises the door’s structural integrity Peeling and chipping of paint Damaged hardware or locks that won’t work Seeing light around the door frames Bonus summer home maintenance tip: Choose a storm door that offers additional benefits aside from front door protection. Storm doors can allow incredible amounts of natural light into your space, especially when you choose one design with full screen/glass. Best of all, you can customize your new storm door to match your entry door! #6: Check Your Roof And Ceiling For Leaks During summer rainstorms, you can quickly become aware of roof leaks when they are heavy and prominent. Other times, a roof leak can happen right under your nose. You might not notice the issue until there is significant water damage to your house. Now is the time to look around for signs of a leaky roof before it’s too late. You might notice signs such as condensation on the rafter beams in your attic. In worst cases, you might find mold or mildew there, too. Meanwhile, look around for yellow or brown stains on the ceiling and walls. You may also find stains near windows, which can also be leaking from summer storms. If you discover leaks in your roof, consider: Roof replacement with high-performance leak barrier protection and unlimited warranty protection that helps prevent leaks caused by wind-driven rain and ice dams. Our GAF Roofing system uses Tiger Paw to help shield the roof deck from moisture infiltration. Another area is to make sure you have at least 6’ ice and water protection along the eaves and rakes- vulnerable areas on your roof. #7: Get Your Gutters In Order It isn't time for autumn leaves, but that doesn't mean you should neglect your gutters this season. Clogged gutters can create big and expensive problems for your home. Whether it's a gentle spring rain or a summer storm, water should run freely through the gutter system. If your gutters cannot handle rainfall in any amount, this will pose problems for the interior and exterior of your home. Make sure your gutters are completely unclogged from any debris. If you did not clean out your gutters during the spring season, make sure you tackle this project pronto. A clogged gutter can do damage ranging from ruining your landscaping to causing the basement flood. The best course of action is to install gutter protection, keeping debris at bay while avoiding costly consequences of clogged gutters. #8: Revive Your Exterior Siding The last summer season maintenance task to tackle involves your exterior siding. The siding of your home should be a peak performance condition every season of the year. You want to look out for signs such as peeling, chips, or damaged siding. Wood rot will need to be replaced immediately. You can opt for vinyl siding that looks like wood to create your dream home this summer season, all while skipping maintenance and expensive repairs to wood siding. Don’t forget that insulated siding is also energy efficient. Vinyl siding with an insulated backing can help prevent heat from penetrating inside the walls during the summer. This results in a cool and comfortable home to enjoy even during the hottest days. In terms of termites, vinyl siding is the best option for getting rid of this creepy critter. Our vinyl siding is treated to repel insects, keeping your siding beautiful and free from holes made by bugs. Wood-boring insects aren’t interested in a vinyl exterior!

- 5 Summer Patio Ideas to Enjoy All SeasonJuly 7, 2014If you're anything like me, you're enjoying the warmer weather, working on your outdoor oasis and eating al fresco. There are so many inspiring summer patio ideas that exude cozy hospitality. Some easy takeaways from each of these spaces can help anyone create a Coastal feel while entertaining (or even when just enjoying a little solo time with a glass of wine out on your patio)! Tip #1: Twinkling Lights Exude Charm Hanging lanterns and twinkling lights give off such a casual feel while making the space you're in feel completely magical. I ordered solar lights from Amazon and can’t wait to put them up this weekend! I also picked up some galvanized lanterns with battery operated candles at Target. I love how they light up the porch at night. Tip #2: Beachy Patio Furniture Creates Casual Vibes Invest in some sea grass look alike patio furniture. There are so many comfortable styles now that will make your guests just want to sink into your chairs and not move for hours. As a bonus, some are all weather so you won’t need to rush to protect your furniture every time it rains. Then pop over to Home Goods or Pottery Barn for some pillows for a punch of color. I went with a navy background with this paisley look for my pop! Tip #3: Embrace the Ocean's Color Palette If you are in doubt about what colors to move toward with your new summer patio ideas, look no further than the colors you see at the ocean… use calming blues, greens, tans and grays. A base of calming colors like these can pair well with some pops of color in pillows that can be easily interchanged when your mood changes. Tip #4: Plan for Chilly Summer Nights Guests will love sitting around a fire pit on a cool summer night. Bring out s’mores fixings and people will sit around for hours enjoying your hospitality. Here is my favorite tweak on making gourmet s’mores! I use Petit Écolier chocolate-covered biscuits, slap on some Nutella add a marshmallow and I am a happy girl! Tip #5: Make a Transitional Flow with French Doors Homes that flow well often will have a gorgeous transition into the patio like with these French doors. This allows people to sit inside if the weather isn’t perfect yet still allows guests to enjoy the benefits of gorgeous windows and feel like they are outdoors.
