Door to Winter

We have started getting more calls about exterior doors. Since we are in the midst of fall, winter will soon be here and we have to keep the cold out.

We offer a great choice of steel and fiberglass doors as well as vinyl patio doors. If you are interested in the look of a wood door, we offer 6 beautiful choices of wood colors/wood grains. You would be amazed at how they look exactly like wood.

We have an array of choices of door styles – with windows or without, with window grills or without. There are so many choices, it will be difficult to choose.

Insulated Siding.

We have gotten some calls this month about our insulated vinyl siding. For those of you who have never heard of it, it is foam insulation bonded to the vinyl siding planks. The benefit of insulated siding is that it protects your home more efficiently than traditional vinyl siding alone. Did you know that you have an energy leak all year long if you have traditional vinyl siding? About 25% of your home’s outside surface is made up of studs with insulation in-between the studs. Unfortunately the studs are not insulated and this is where the energy leak occurs. Insulated siding protects your home like a blanket and makes it more energy efficient. It also makes your home quieter – great if you live on a busy street. Insulated siding is colorfast and it is stronger than

than traditional vinyl siding because of the foam layer of insulation making it more rigid.

When is the right time to buy replacement windows?

A lot of people are asking – when is the right time to buy replacement windows? The best answer would be when you are ready to save money. In addition to making your home energy efficient, it will also improve the look of your home and help with your resale value. Old windows start to deteriorate both inside and out, seals start leaking and you get the fog effect inside your home.



Winter is quickly approaching so keep Therma Pro Windows at the top of your list for windows, siding and gutters. Our customers have seen how our pricing is about half our competitors for the same quality or better in many cases. Give us a call at 614-375-4444

Gutter Time

Well, we’ve gotten a taste of fall and have started getting calls about gutters and gutter guards. Our gutter system components are designed, manufactured and custom installed to effectively channel the water running off your roof. We have 2 types of gutter guards available. Our economical style is a drop-in screen guard and our high end guard is aluminum that is fastened onto your gutter every 16 inches. It is guaranteed to keeps debris out of gutters, allowing water to flow freely. Leaves are then lifted off of gutters by a gentle breeze.

Window Safety Tips

Window Safety Tips



Practice safety drills often. Small children tend to “hide” from fire. Make sure children are familiar with safety routes and know how to get quickly out of the home. Designate a place where the family can meet if separated. The home’s mailbox is always a good location.



Safety chain ladders should be located under beds of bedrooms on second floors. Practice operating the ladder with older children.



Keep furniture (including cribs) or anything children can climb away from windows.



Remember window screens are to keep insects out. They can not support the weight of a child or family pet.



Before ordering windows, be sure to examine the window’s locking systems. Multi-point locks provide more protection against intruders and make it more difficult for curious young children to operate.



If you don’t use window guards, install and use window stops so that windows open no more than 4 inches. Whether opening windows from the bottom, top, or side, openings should never exceed 4 inches with children present.



If you have blinds or roman shades as your window coverings, make sure that the cords are out of reach of children. Children can get caught in dangling cords and strangle. If buying new, cordless window coverings is not an option for you, contact the Window Covering Safety Council at www.windowcoverings.org to obtain a free repair kit and install it properly to make your window coverings safer. Some, but not all, of the repair kits will make your window coverings cordless. After you install a repair kit, check your window coverings again for accessible cords.

Heat or Cold?

Here very shortly we will be at the end of summer and as such you need to start thinking about having your home prepared for the winter ahead.

Baked

I don’t know which is worse – baking sun or blinding snow! Temperatures have been in the 90’s this season and will hopefully taper down soon. Our ultra low-E glass with insulating argon gas contained in our vinyl windows will keep your indoor temperatures comfortable. It reflects the heat and lets the sun shine through. In addition, our insulated siding adds another barrier to your home whether from the blazing sun or frigid wind.

We have noticed an increase in calls this month. The summer weather has finally arrived and with it, storms and high temperatures. The time is now to replace your old aluminum, vinyl or wood windows and lower your energy consumption and electric bills. Our vinyl replacement windows have ultra low-E glass with insulating argon gas that keeps indoor temperatures comfortable and consistent. Our vinyl windows are made from virgin vinyl resin, combined with the best stabilizers and impact modifiers for consistent color and strength. Everyone deserves the perfect window frame for how you and your family see the world. Don’t forget our insulated vinyl siding and seamless gutters. Having a well insulated house will also keep your energy consumption down.

Our workmanship and design will win you over!

Screen Doors and Screens for windows

In recent weeks we have had so many requests to install screen doors and new sreens for windows. Here are a few things to think about when getting these items.

2.) Is the frame a problem? We can upgrade the frames as well. We have upgrades avaialble including fiberglass.
3.) Is the wind the primary problem? If so, perhaps a bush or abstruction may help.

Q and A

Recently I ran across a checklist you can use when buying windows. So I wanted to share some questions and answers that can go along with that checklist.

Is window install included in the price? Yes, install including wrapping around wood or siding is included as needed.

Does the company use their own installers? We take it one step higher. Our installers come directly for a national manufacturer with over 70 years experience with vinyl and wood windows. The installers are paid and trained by the manufacturer to insure the highest quality installation possible, and they stand behind it. 1 yr warranty for the install and lifetime (50 years) for the windows.

Is the interior trim removed? Only if you request it. 99% of the time the home owner wants to keep the trim on the inside of the home.

Is disposal of the old windows included in the price? Yes, not only is it included, we recycle everything we can.

Can the company give you a copy of certificate of insurance? Of course, we are licensed, bonded, insured. Also we have the national lead training as required by law.

Is “night stop” included? Yes, this feature allows the home owner to open the window for ventilation without some comfort the someone will not open the window and come in the home.

Single, double, or triple pane? Double pane windows is what we specialize in. Triple pane is too heavy and does not add enough insulation to warrant the high price. Double pane with argon is four times for efficient than single pane.

Is low-e included? Yes. Low-e keeps the heat out in the summer while allowing it in in the winter. Also, keeps out furniture fading UV rays.

How long will it take to get my windows installed? Generally 2-4 weeks depending on the time of year. Generally about 2 weeks from the date the estimate is signed.

Getting Warm Outside - Utility Bills Start to Rise

My favorite time of the year is almost over already. You know, the month or two where you dont have to pay for heat or air. We are all about to see our utility bills rise again and that leads to the busy season in the industry. Yinyl replacement windows, wood windows, insulated siding, and new doors are a way to combat these higher payments and these items pay you back very quickly. Give us a call and you will see how personal service and people who care make all the difference. Now, we have our low price promise back as well. It is here to stay. What do you have to lose. Nothing thats what. 614-271-3330 or 614-375-4444. Look forward to talking with you.

Getting Aggressive

Next month there will be an industry wide increase in materials of about 7%. This is bad for us and for you. We never want to push price increases on the consumer but with our low margins already, we have to.

My point is not to scare you into buying but to motivate you to improve your home while the price is still low. As you have seen on the news, the price of everything is going up. Let’s get you those new windows, or insulated siding, or gutters or doors now. You will be happy you did it before prices went up. As you can see from my last post, we also have a big sale on windows right now. This price will NEVER be this low again.

Hope to hear from you and do business with you real soon.

Spring is coming - Lets get the house in shape.

Many times I am asked, "when is the best time of the year to install windows, siding, patio doors, etc". My answer is that the best time is when you are ready to save. Many people associate savings in utility bills with winter time. What about air conditioning? It is always a great time to make your house safer, more efficient, and more green.

In fact, this month we are intorducing a new product, attic insulation. I am always trying to look at the full picture. If we make your doors, windows, and siding efficient, then where are we losing energy? Your attic. Now we can insulate your attic with a green product and we can do it for a low price. You will jump out of your seat when you see the price and when you feel the savings.

We can now truely say that we can do your whole house. We are proud of our new product. Please let us show you how it can benefit you.

Happy new year to everyone. Last year was a a big year for a our company and we are growing, but we will not forget customer service. We will always be there for you when you need windows, siding, or doors. We hope you have a great new year.
