It's that time of year again - Tax Time (insert groan here). But don't forget that there are tax credits available for window and door installations as well as many other home renovations. Check out the Energy Star website for more details. And as always, be sure to consult with your tax preparer/accountant.

We're sad to report that we've temporarily suspended operations, due to a roof collapse at our shop. The damage is very extensive & the building is unsafe to enter at the moment. Crews are scheduled to begin removing the collapsed portion of the roof today, at which point we should (hopefully) get a better idea of just how much of the building & its contents are salvageable.

We'll be in touch with customers & do our best to keep them apprised of how this might impact scheduled work. Thank you for your patience & understanding during this extremely difficult time.

While it's common for most contractors & door manufactures to use what's known as "FJP" (finger jointed pine) for door jambs and exterior trim, just about every piece of this type of material I've ever seen has failed, so we make our own jambs and trim out of solid, decay-resistant material. This approach ensures that there are no joints to separate or fail, ensuring a durable installation for decades to come. It's these extra efforts that our customers appreciate.

We're sad to see Sears in the state they find themselves in & are reminded of what they once meant to many. We've been very fortunate to work on a number of Sears "kit houses" over the years. Perhaps you (even unwittingly) have one?

What do we learn from the financial demise of one of America's--and once, housing's--greatest brand icons?
