IS YOUR CONTRACTOR CERTIFIED???  Important regulations that affect ALL remodelers and something you should know about!  Effective on April 22, 2010 the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is requiring all remodelers that conduct Lead-based paint activities and/or renovations to become certified.  This includes window and door contractors.  Classes and training is required for any contractor that will or has potential to disturb lead based paint in pre-1978 housing.  This also includes child-occupied facitlities (where children are under 6 years old) and including pregnant women who are present on a regular basis in the home. 

What does this mean for YOU?  Make sure any contractor you hire to replace your windows & doors are certified.  Our installers and Tom have all taken the required courses and can answer any questions you may have.

Hopefully the snow this week will not hamper anyone wanting to attend the home show this weekend at the Annapolis Armory.  Now is the time to start thinking about improvements you want to make to your home in the spring. The tax credit ends in 2010 so there is no better time than this year for new windows, doors, siding, a new deck or sunroom and take advantage of up to 30% back from Uncle Sam.  We will also be offering deep discounts for anyone who sets an appointmtment at the show for a free estimate.  Come and get out of the house this weekend and visit us!   Show times are Saturday Feb 27: 10am – 7 pm and Sunday Feb 28: 11 am – 5 pm.  Hope to see you there!
