Mechanicsville Home Gets Energy Saving Face Lift

 

“Our home felt warmer this winter and our electric bill has already shown a reduction. We’re looking forward to saving money in our fuel oil cost as well” says Joe Jarboe of Mechanicsville. “I knew we needed to do something. Our windows were 30 years old – some of them wouldn’t open and some wouldn’t stay open and they were cloudy in between the panes.” Joe took advantage of the remodeler’s program with Dean Lumber and met with Sunset Homes. “They were great to work with” Joe said. “They came to the house and took measurements and discussed options for the glass and the grills. We live on top of a hill and get lots of airflow, so Leigh from Sunset Homes suggested casement windows in the back of the house and the double hung in the front to preserve the colonial look."

"Sunset Homes gave us a great price for replacing the windows. They wrapped them with new white trim which made such a huge difference” Joe continued. “One of their installers told me he’s been replacing windows for 32 years and he said this was the best vinyl replacement window he’s ever worked with. He reaffirmed that we made a great decision by using the Simonton window."

     
  "We are very pleased” Joe said. “And we have gotten so many compliments from our family and friends. The first time we cleaned our new windows, it took a little over an hour to clean all 28 of them inside and out. It was amazing because I used to have to get on a ladder to clean them and it would take all day. I would recommend the Simonton windows and Sunset Homes to everyone.” Replacement Windows After

*A note to homeowners - Replacing your windows can dramatically improve the energy efficiency and look of your home. Drafty windows, old & rotting sashes, cloudiness between the glass panes are excellent reasons to replace your windows. Wrapping the windows with an aluminum casing makes these windows virtually maintenance free. This homeowner also had insulation installed by Dean's in the flooring between the first floor and the basement.

*In order to qualify for the 2009 - 2010 tax credit your windows must have the options like Low-E, Argon Gas or Krypton. Our trained professional consultants will help you get the windows with the options you want.
