			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thank you for installing the vinyl siding on the house.  The siding has improved the appearance of the house.  The mocha color is very appealing and looks great with the white trim on the house.  I have received numerous compliments on the vinyl siding.  The insulation underneath the vinyl siding helps to conserve energy, thus making the house more cozy and warmer inside.  The tax credit is also a great benefit.  The workmanship and customer service is very satisfactory.  Thank you, Elaine K</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We are very happy with the windows installed by Install America.  They look great!  The two installers that were here were very nice to us.  They answered any questions we had.  The job was neatly done, and they did a good job in cleaning up.  In the Winter, when it gets really cold out, then I&#8217;ll be comparing my PP &amp; L bills with when I had the old windows in, compared to the new ones.  I know that there will be a savings in the electric bill but I just can&#8217;t wait to see how much.  I will be calling you back in 2010 to let you know the difference.  Thank you again, we are very happy with the whole job.  Mr. and Mrs. DelPopolo</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As you may already know, the US Department of Energy and the US Environmental Protection Agency have teamed up to offer tax rebates for Americans to replace their windows, doors and skylights with more efficient models.   These ENERGY STAR qualified products can reduce a home’s energy bill up to 15% and protect the environment as well.   There are <a href="http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?fuseaction=rebate.rebate_locator" target="_blank">local rebates</a> and <a href="http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=windows_doors.pr_taxcredits" target="_blank">Federal Tax rebates</a> available.</p>
<p><strong>As of January 4, 2010, new performance levels for ENERGY STAR windows, doors and skylights will go into effect. </strong>There will now be two different labels to choose from.  A black or red label means that the products are qualified until March 31, 2010, but that after that they will not meet the new energy requirements:</p>

<p><strong>The blue label identifies products that are still eligible for the $1,500 tax credit:</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Windows in NJ have taken a beating this February!  Upgrade to more efficient windows now!</strong></p>
<p>If you’re a New Jersey resident and your windows have suffered due to water/ice damage from the winter months, you may notice leaks, cracks, or other problems.  Unfortunately, winter can severely exacerbate a variety of problems that typically affect your windows, and especially of they are of the older variety.</p>
<p>Your molding can separate resulting in air leaks, the caulk around your window could need replacing, ice can cause a stress fracture, and water damage over time can rot and ruin window frames.  It’s best to have your windows in NJ inspected because even small air leakage problems can result in a loss of energy and higher utility bills, not to mention possible mold problems, insect problems, and moisture, which all could cause damage to other areas of your home.</p>
<p><strong>When spring rolls around, take the time to wash and examine your windows for winter damage.  If you do notice any problems, contact a windows professional to repair your <a href="http://www.installamerica.net/products/windows.html" target="_blank">windows in NJ</a>.</strong></p>
<p>Don’t let your window repair go neglected—take the time to repair your <a href="http://www.installamerica.net/products/windows.html" target="_blank">windows in NJ</a> before in spring and you’ll enjoy comfort during the summer months.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>New Jersey residents:</strong> did you know that 32% of the siding market for new houses in the United States is vinyl?  New Jersey is no exception—and with this number is still going up, it’s expected that vinyl siding NJ will continue to increase in popularity.  So why is this the case?</p>
<p><strong>Let’s look at the history of vinyl siding. </strong> Introduced in the 1950’s as a substitute for aluminum siding, vinyl is still relatively new as a building material.  Since then, the chemistry and installation techniques of exterior vinyl siding have changed significantly, making it a very convenient and popular choice for homeowners and builders as well.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.installamerica.net/products/siding.html" target="_blank">Vinyl siding NJ </a>is great because it requires little to no ongoing maintenance, is a breeze to install, and never needs to be painted. </strong></p>
<p><strong>Durability:</strong> Vinyl siding is extremely durable and can last a long time with minimal maintenance.  It can also hold up to many weather conditions and newer vinyl siding won’t crack or become brittle when faced with harsh temperature changes.  Vinyl siding is even designed to resist sun fading.</p>
<p><strong>Cost: </strong> Vinyl siding is inexpensive when compared to alternatives like wood, which require repainting and ongoing maintenance.</p>
<p><strong>Maintenance: </strong> You’ll never have to paint your siding and as mentioned, it doesn’t fade from sun or weather exposure.  The only thing you’ll have to do is hose or spray your vinyl siding down once or twice a year to keep it looking like new.</p>
<p><strong>There are also a variety of colors and grains to suit your tastes.  <a href="http://www.installamerica.net/products/siding.html" target="_blank">Vinyl siding in NJ</a> is a great investment for a home—and a durable and maintenance free one as well.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>New Jersey residents: </strong> throughout the winter months, you may notice window condensation on your windows.  This is especially true if you have older, single pane windows, and this condensation can cause problems if the water or moisture seeps down inside your walls.  This can cause mold, rot, and other minor health hazards.  <strong>This winter window condensation may be a sign that your old windows aren’t working as well as they should, and it may be time to invest in replacement windows in NJ. </strong></p>
<p>When the warm moist air inside the house comes into contact with the cooler outside air, the water vapor from the cooler air shows up on the glass.  The air inside your house is warmer then the air outside, and because cooler air is less able to retain moisture then warm air, it appears as condensation</p>
<p>One solution would be to caulk your window frames to reduce air leaks, but this is only temporary.  Investing in quality replacement windows NJ can solve condensation issues, and prevent paint from flaking off your windowsills and mold from forming around the panes.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.installamerica.net/products/windows.html" target="_blank">Replacement windows in NJ </a>and other quality windows reduce heat flow to the outside of the home and prevent the outside surface from warming to the “dew point”, so no condensation results.  If you’re interested in learning more about the benefits of <a href="http://www.installamerica.net/products/windows.html" target="_blank">replacement windows NJ</a>, visit our website.</strong></p>
