"They don't make them like they used to anymore..." 

How many times have we heard that old saying? How often is that a GOOD thing?

Did you know that thanks to technology, we're able to build homes that will save more energy, stand up to extreme weather and even resist insect damage?

It's true! 

We love James Hardie's Cement Fiber Siding products because they do all of the things we just mentioned! Insulated lap siding helps keep energy costs down. Cement fiber siding is naturally insect resistant and stands up to the elements better than traditional, less durable siding materials. It's long lifespan means -when properly installed, it should last for decades. 

CertainTeed Roofing products can really help bring your energy bill under control. In fact, some CertainTeed roofs are so energy efficient, you can qualify for an energy tax credit to help pay for your new roof. 

What about windows? They not only let light and clarity into our world- they leak out a ton of heat energy in the winter or turn your house into a solar collector in the summer if they're old, single pane windows with minimum weather sealing. Replacing old windows with new double or triple pane windows can save you a bundle! Did you know Andersen Windows and Doors were the first manufacturer of its type to be named an Energy Star Partner of the Year? They also have a handy guide for decoding the information stickers on windows and doors- worth checking out.
