When thinking about home improvement priorities, attic insulation tends to be overlooked more often than not. It is estimated that approximately 2/3 of U.S. homes are not properly insulated. However, if you've received a utility bill in the past year that made you cringe, adding attic insulation is one of the best things you can do to help alleviate the issues of heat loss, heat penetration, temperatures control of and make your home more energy efficient. With just this simple home improvement, not only will you make your home more comfortable during cold winters AND hot summers, but it practically pays for itself in the amount of money you save on your utility bills over the course of an average 3-5 year span!
A bow or bay window instantly becomes the focal point of any room. By giving the appearance of more space it makes any room seem bigger. What is the difference between the two, and which one is right for your home? The main difference between a bay window and a bow window is the number of sides. A bay window always has 3 sides and typically projects further outdoors giving a deeper window seat than a bow. A bow window has 4 or more side and does not project out as far as a bay. A bow window has the rounded appearance with no sharp angles and a bow typically has 30, 45, or 90 degree angles.
A garden window is a great way to give the appearance of more space in your kitchen. Garden windows on average project out about 17 from the inside surface of your kitchen wall so you have a lot more area for your plants or knick-knacks. Garden windows are the perfect place to grow fresh herbs or flowers in your own private green house! A garden window is actually four windows in one, a picture window for the roof, another picture window for the front, and two trapezoid casement windows on the sides.
A casement window is a window that operates by turning a crank that opens the window outside with a screen on the interior of the window (most window screens are on the exterior). A casement window opens vertically; a casement window that opens horizontally is called an awning window. Casement and awning windows are commonly combined with picture windows to create both light and ventilation as well as beauty. In terms of function and purpose, it offers a little something for everyone! Casement windows seal up tighter than any other style of operational window.

Admittedly, when there's snow on the ground and the temperatures outside are parka-worthy, the last thing most folks want to consider is replacing windows this time of year. What most don't realize is, we work year round, and January is just as good a time to have windows replaced as any other month! Generally, we see an influx of business starting in March. By ordering your windows now, you can beat the springtime rush!

Concrete is a project that often gets put aside when we think about improving our homes. However, by simply maintaining areas or replacing them with a thicker, more solid, professionally pinned-down upgrade, you can save yourself a lot of money and headache in the long-run. Is it time to get proactive and tackle your next concrete project before it leads to more expensive issues? Concrete is more durable than asphalt and requires far less maintenance. For example, concrete patios are less expensive than wood decks for outdoor entertaining space.
There are many options to choose from and consider when selecting the material from which to build your new deck! A lot of people turn to the internet to get some sort of price or ballpark estimate on their deck project. THE BAD NEWS- It is virtually impossible for the internet to determine that.

Whether you choose to side your home with vinyl, steel, fiberglass, or fiber cement, you need to protect your home from rain, wind, snow, sun, insects, mold, mildew, and other hazards.

To fully protect your home, yard, and landscaping, an efficient gutter system must keep water flowing off your roof and away from your home. Without gutters, water will simply spill off the roof edge, staining your siding, wearing away your foundation, and eroding plants and landscaping. If your home is without a properly installed gutter system, eventually, your basement will leak and crack due to the pressure of the water on the sides of your foundation. Energy View installs efficient gutter systems that carry even the heaviest rainfall safely away from your home.
