Increasing your home’s value

Sunday, May 20th, 2012

This home is a perfect example of how to increase your home’s value.This house was on the market a while. After feedback from potential buyers the home owner had us come in and replace the roof. Once that was completed the homeowner then requested windwos to be upgraed to energy efficient grade. The house then recieved a fair offer and the owner is on his way to retire to South Carolina.  Why wait to improve your home?Get some enjoyment out of your efforts- I love the safety features on my windows that allow me to feel better about the children not being able to open it more than a few inches. I love the fact that I can’t hear the planes overhead as loudly as I did before and also I love to not have to clean between each pane of glass!

So many choices of windows and shingles- we can help!

Siding choices overwhelming? We can help!

If your home’s siding has seen better days, re-siding is a perfect opportunity to significantly increase your home’s resale value, as well as maximize energy efficiency, and last but certainly not least, assure a stable, moisture free environment.

Siding and insulation have improved greatly, but the choices can be a bit overwhelming.  First peruse the neighborhood to see what style you like , is it thick, thin, beaded,cedar? Second, find a color you like- if you don’t need a new roof consider what matches your current. We can assist in anyway with computer programs to photos of recent projects.

Replacing siding and upgrading insulation should increase your home’s energy efficiency. The R-Value is your guideline. The R-Value of the insulation measures how well the insulation resists the flow of heat through it, and the same with the siding. R-Values of all the insulations and the siding are added together for a resulting R-Value. The higher the R-Value, the more resistance to heat flow through your structure – and that’s a good thing.

Energy conservation has taken giant strides over the past five to seven years. Re-siding with today’s modern sidings and insulation is the perfect juncture to bring together the whole package: improved energy efficiency, full confidence that moisture is not a problem, and a grand new level of curb appeal.
