QUESTION: How do I qualify for the 2009 Energy Tax Credit?

ANSWER: Due to the economic stimulus package, you can qualify for a tax credit up to $1500.00 when you install windows, doors, insulation, metal roofing or other energy efficient home improvement projects in 2009. You can deduct up to 30% of the cost of materials when you file your 2009 Federal taxes.

One word of caution: you must deal with companies who are knowledgeable and that you can trust. NOT all windows, doors, and insulation meet the strict criteria needed to qualify for the credit.

You must insist on documentation that shows the materials actually meet the energy efficiency ratings that are required. For example, just being labeled Energy Star does not mean that windows qualify. In addition, the windows must also meet certain insulation factors and Solar Heat Gain ratings.

If you have questions about what materials meet the requirements for the tax credit, feel free to stop by, email, or call us.

We have a wide variety of quality replacement windows and other products to fit most people’s budgets and that qualify for the tax credit.

Greg and Terry Freeman of Toledo are saving lots of time and money after having us cover their stained log exterior with vinyl shake siding.  They chose the natural cedar hand split shake style for the rustic feel that they wanted for their home. 

Without a doubt, a big bonus is they can now stop spending around $4,000 every 3 years chinking, staining, and sealing the logs.

BEFORE PICTURES

 

On Sunday, December 7, ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, an Emmy award winning reality show, will spotlight a unique seamless siding product in the makeover of a farm house in Albert Lea, Minnesota.

The reality show team demolished Dirk and Susan DeVries’ old house and rebuilt it from ground up. Dirk had lost his arm in a farming accident and Susan was recovering from a heart condition.

Their daughter Hanna, 12, described her old house as “coming apart at the seams” before the complete makeover. Upon entering the old house, there was an immediate smell of mildew. Leaky ceilings, rotting wood siding and missing tiles are conditions that the DeVries and their 3 children don’t miss.

A local ABC Seamless Siding dealer volunteered to work around the clock one weekend to install their unique seamless steel siding, soffit and fascia. The seamless siding was custom made at the new home using a machine that rolls out and forms the siding from a steel coil with a durable PVC coating.

Because the crew was able to form the exact length of siding that was needed, the finished house has no ugly seams or splice. This allows a level of craftsmanship and protection from the elements that is not available with other materials.

According to Don Drake, an ABC Seamless dealer in Charleston, IL, the dark “Cinnamon” color that was used on the house is rarely found in vinyl siding, but is available in the seamless steel siding because it is resistant to fading due to sunlight.

The “DeVries Family” episode of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition will air on Sunday, December 7^th from 7:00 to 8:00 PM.

After having windows in his all-glass room become cloudy due to seal failure, Max Sims of Charleston decided to have a Betterliving Patio Room installed instead.

Drake Siding and Sunrooms removed the old room and built a beautiful brown aluminum framed room in its place.  The new room adds to the charm and nolstalgia of Sim’s log cabin in the woods.

40 volunteers worked one weekend from 9:00 pm Friday to 1:00 am Sunday to finish everything for the show.
