Congratulations to our 2011 $20,000 Home Makeover Winnners! Charles & Jamie Lee  of Ofallon, IL

Charles and Jamie Lee entered the St. Clair $20.000 Home Makeover Sweepstakes at one of our home shows Illinois. After a visit from one of St. Clairs top salesman, Dan Rosenbllom, Charles and Jamie have decided to use their makeover money for vinyl windows. This is includes St. Clairs top of the line Armaclad double-hung and picture windows. 

Here are a few reasons why you should replace your windows

• Energy bills are significantly lower when old windows are replaced with energy efficient windows. The amount you save in energy costs adds up quickly and the windows often pay for themselves.
• If windows have a buildup fo condensation or frost it means that they are not insulating your home well enough, there could be a crack in the seel. The moisture can cause frames to rott, increase energy cost and is a prime environment for mold growth.
• If your window is cold to the touch in the winter and hot to the touch in the summer it means that your window is not insulating your home correctly driving your energy bills up  and costing you money.
• If a flame flickers next to your closed window or you it feel colder most likely there is a draft. This draft can lead to water infiltration which causes mold, water damage to furniture and carpeting, rotting window frames and additional energy cost.
• If the window does not open correctly it is a sign that they are old and are beginning to fail and most likely the frame is warped.
• Replacing old windows with new vinyl windows increases the resale value of your home
• New windows now provide UV protection and can prevent fading and home damage to furniture and flooring
