When it comes to your home, it’s important to know when something, like your front door, is truly in need of replacement. Take a look at these situations to help you determine if it’s time for a fresh look.</font></font></p>

Replacing the front door and frame will keep the drafts away and help your pocketbook.</span></font></font></font></p>

2023-02-18T00:00:00-04:00Doors,DoorsPrep Your Door for the Winter Ahead<p style="text-align: center;"><input type="image" src="/uploads/image/1 dec blog pic.png" width="350" height="350" /> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Keep your front door looking great and operating properly during the colder months. Follow these tips to keep the cold air out and protect your door from the elements of winter.</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%"> </p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%"><b>Start by examining the exterior of the door.</b> Look for any damaged or weathered areas. A small area could be cleaned and a wood filler product used to patch it. A professional should be called to evaluate a larger damaged area, as ice and snow could cause further problems.</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%"> </p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%"><b>Check for leaks. </b>A clever way to do this is to wait until nighttime. In the dark, shine a flash-light from the outside in. If you see light peeking through at various spots, you have some areas that need attention.</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%"> </p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%"><b>Weatherize your door.</b> If your door did not pass the leak test, let’s get that fixed. Applying new weather stripping is a cost efficient way to prevent warm air from escaping. You can also use clear caulk to fill in small areas. Always make sure you are starting with a clean work surface, so your new repairs adhere well. You should also examine your threshold. Over time it can get flattened or dented. This is also an easy replacement that can help deter cold air from creeping into your home.</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%"> </p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%"><b>Replace an old screen door with a storm door.</b> Today’s storm doors are a great first defense against the elements. Not only do they provide an extra layer of insulation, but they also add security and increase the curb appeal of your home.</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%"> </p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%"><b>Check your doors hardware. </b>Examine and tighten any loose screws. Check all your locks or deadbolts and make sure they are in working order. When you close your door is there a solid latch or do you find yourself pushing just a bit harder to get it shut? If you live in a high humidity area, your door may swell during the summer, then come cooler weather, it may not fit as tight as it once was.</p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%"> </p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%">If you find that your front door, or any door in your home is in need of something more than a simple fix, please call our office. We want to see that your home is warm and cozy all winter long.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Nothing lasts forever, including the locking mechanisms on your doors. We’ve highlighted some scenarios that should warrant replacing, to ensure your home is safe & secure.</p>

<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%"><font color="#000000">One of your first tasks after signing those mortgage documents should be replacing the home’s locks. You really don’t know the kind of people that lived there or who they may have given a spare key to over the years. You want to go to bed with the knowledge that only your family has the privilege of coming and going into your new abode.</font></p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%"><font color="#000000">Besides the obvious front and back doors, also check for locks on cellar doors & doors leading to or attached to the garage. </font></p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%"><font color="#000000">If you are using an existing garage door opener, you may want to look up how to re-code the opener. </font></p>

<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%"><font color="#000000">There is nothing as scary as knowing a stranger was in your home. A small percentage of break-ins are committed by someone that has a key to your home. If you suspect that a lock was tampered with, change your locks immediately. </font></p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%;"> </p>

<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%"><font color="#000000">Unfortunately some relationships come to an end. Whether it’s a partner, roommate, nanny or cleaning person, if they have a key to your home, it may be wise to change out the locks. Even if you have received a spare key back, you can never be sure they did not make another copy.</font></p>

<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in"> </p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in"><font style="font-size: 14pt">Choose a </font><font style="font-size: 14pt"><b>monochromatic look</b></font><font style="font-size: 14pt">. Love a particular color? Choose that color in several shades and apply the lighter color to the larger portions of the door and use the darker shades for accents or trim work. </font></p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in"><font style="font-size: 14pt">If your door has some</font><font style="font-size: 14pt"><b> intricate trim</b></font><font style="font-size: 14pt"> work, why not highlight it? Choose a similar hue or a color combo that is a little daring. We like the pairings of a darker red with black or a medium gray & denim blue.</font></p>
<p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in"><font style="font-size: 14pt">Go with a </font><font style="font-size: 14pt"><b>stain on your front door</b></font><font style="font-size: 14pt"> instead of paint.

2020-08-17T00:00:00-04:00Doors,Doors,Doors,Doors,Doors,Doors,DoorsChoosing the Right Hardware to Make Your Entrance Complete<p style="text-align: center;"><input type="image" src="/uploads/image/Blog Pic Hardware .jpg" width="350" height="350" /> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Like any good birthday cake, it would not be complete without a rich layer of icing and perhaps some adornments as well....candles, cake toppers, celebratory words. It's the same with your entry-way, the lighting (candles) and hardware (cake toppers) you choose, all work together to make the cake a focal point for the guest of honor. Let's tackle this area one layer at a time.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"> </p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><font size="4"><i>Lighting </i></font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"> </p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">The goal of entryway lighting should combine beauty and make guests feel secure at night. As an added bonus, it may lower your electric bill depending on the bulbs you choose.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"> </p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Take a step back and view your front porch from the curb of your home. This will help you determine the best placement of lighting fixtures. If your door is positioned in the middle, perhaps smaller matching lanterns on either side is a good choice. A hanging style pendant or flush mounted model also complements a door that is centered. If your door sits more to the left or right, the unfilled area could accommodate a larger statement style fixture.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"> </p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Settling on a style depends on your taste and the look of your home. Be prepared at the hardware store by taking measurements and choosing lighting designed for outdoor use.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"> </p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">If you are remodeling the entire entryway, have your electrician make sure the wiring is up to date. Now is also an opportune time to add wiring in case you are expanding the area or desire to have an outlet.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><font size="4"><i>Hardware Options</i></font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><font size="3">Security + function + style = entry door hardware goals. You may first want to consider the type of locking feature you desire. The handle and key deadbolt combo are very popular and come in a multitude of styles to complement your door. Another option would be a keypad set that allows you to choose an entry code to unlock. Since any fixture you choose will see a lot of use, pick one that works smoothly, efficiently and is secure. Budget generously for this component, your home and the persons in it are valuable! </font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"> </p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><font size="3">Again, before you start shopping, take solid measurements, especially the thickness of your door. Also note the back set dimensions, which is the measurement from the edge of the door to the center of the hole that is bored for the knob. Be familiar with cylindrical vs mortise models and take note if you need a left or right handed handle. Some models are reversible, but avoiding an additional trip to the store is always nice.</font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"> </p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><font size="3">There are so many beautiful styles and finishes to choose from, it may be overwhelming. Have a few pictures on your phone of your door, it's hinges, existing hardware and the entryway as a whole to help you narrow down options. Not everything has to match in today's décor, different hardware can get a unified look if all the finishes are the same. </font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"> </p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><font size="4"><i>Tie it All Together </i></font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"> </p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><font size="3">Planters, seating, welcome mats or a featured piece of artwork all give your entryway a personal touch and lend to curb appeal. Have fun and use these items to bring a pop of color to the area. Have fun welcoming guests to your home. </font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: larger;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><small><span style="line-height: 107%;">As September begins, we close the door on summer, but open it up to my favorite season—fall. While it’s not quite time yet for pumpkin cream cheese, spiced lattes, and scented candles, we can talk about another of my favorite fall things. Our entrance door manufacturer, Provia, has some of the coolest glass on the market. You can choose a design from the colorful Inspirations Art Glass collection, their countless decorative glasses, and even simpler beveled glass for exactly the look you want. Provia is leading the charge with several different and beautiful obscured glasses for any room in your home.</span></small></span></span><span style="font-size:9.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: larger;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><small><span style="line-height: 107%;">Now, if you’re like me, you hear the words ‘obscured glass’ and think of that pebbled texture that was in every bathroom in the 90s. [That glass is still available, of course.] However, Provia has one obscured glass in particular that could go a long way towards updating a bathroom or entrance door. It’s called Waterfall and it looks quite like its namesake. It gives the appearance of water falling down the glass and clocks in with a privacy rating of nine out of ten. Waterfall glass would spice up any bathroom window and also look cheerful in any entrance door.</span></small></span></span><span style="font-size:9.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: larger;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><small>Provia has two specialty designs that have availability to obscure the glass behind a beautiful metal latticework. They are respectively called Carmen, which is more of a graphite look, and Barcelona, which is a callback to the wrought iron gate. Both can have any obscured glass placed behind them, but the Waterfall looks especially lovely in my opinion. If you don’t believe me, come take a look for yourself at the door we have on display in our showroom. </small></span></span></p>

2019-09-17T08:43:38-04:00Doors,Doors,Doors,Doors,Doors,Doors,Doors,Doors,Glass,DoorsHow to Choose a Welcoming Front Door<p>Come right in! Your front door is probably one of the most hard working features in your home. Greeting friends, opening to trick or treaters and getting shut quickly on solicitors are all situations your entry way will see over time. When the time comes to replace it, the choices may seem daunting. Lets break this process down into three areas you should focus on when choosing a new door.</p>
<p class="Standard"><o:p></o:p><i><span style="font-size:15.0pt">Cost<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
<p class="Standard">Determine your budget with the following things in mind. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="Standard">View this purchase as an investment. Replacing your front door is a home improvement that has a great return on investment ratio. That means the value you are adding to your home will be offset by the price of the door. If you see your family moving in the next 5 to 10 years, a quality front door will lend curb appeal as well as value to your home.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="Standard"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="Standard">How energy efficient the door is, plus the materials used to make the door, <span style="background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;">both</span> factor into its price. Don't skimp in these areas. Allocating more money to quality materials is a wise decision. You'll be glad when you see the savings in your electric bill or find yourself not having to paint your door every few years. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="Standard">Keep in mind that things like hardware, decorative glass, side panels or upgrading to a larger door will increase price as well. When getting quotes from companies make sure you are comparing apples to apples. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="Standard"><i><span style="font-size:15.0pt">Materials<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
<p class="Standard">Wood<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="Standard">Nothing beats the natural look of wood<span style="font-size: 15.0pt">. </span>It’s warm, rustic nature makes it popular with homeowners everywhere. This material will probably be on the higher end of the price scale. You should also consider it may require more upkeep to combat things like moisture and sun exposure.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="Standard">Steel<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="Standard">Durable and secure, this material won't crack, rot or warp and is energy efficient. It is cost effective because it will require less maintenance over the years. Steel doors may be susceptible to small dents and can get a bit hot if they are in direct sunlight.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="Standard">Fiberglass<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="Standard">The uniqueness of this material will allow you to get the look of wood without the swelling and warping. It performs well in any climate and receives high energy efficiency ratings. They are dent resistant and require minimal maintenance over the years. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="Standard"><i><span style="font-size:15.0pt">Style<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
<p class="Standard">Let your home's personality really shine in this area! Besides the door style, things like glass, finishes, color options and hardware will all contribute to an individual look that reflects your taste. Try finding a business that has a visualizer tool. This allows you to design your front door and get a sense of what type of look you are drawn to. The addition of side panels is very popular these days. They add light and some styles open to allow air flow. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="Standard" align="center" style="text-align:center">Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="Standard" align="center" style="text-align:center">~Edith Sitwell<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="Standard" align="center" style="text-align:center"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="Standard">“Put a sweater on!”…Was that ever your parents response when you told them you were cold? It's only now, as a seasoned homeowner, that I realize they kept the thermostat low so their monthly electric bill would not shock them when it arrived. Keeping those cold drafts from creeping into your home is a challenge this time of year. Let's explore some ways to keep the warmth in, so you don't have to wear 5 sweaters at one time!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="Standard">About 25% of your heat escapes your home via the roof, so examining your attic or any crawl space is important. If you've had any water leaks or work done to your roof this past year, you should also check to make sure mold is not present in the insulation as well. As time progresses, insulation does settle and becomes less effective, even the foam type can condense as the years go by. A good rule of thumb is to have between 10 and 16 inches of insulation in these spaces. If your assessment comes up short, the do-it-yourself-er can head to the home store and purchase the additional material needed. If you don't feel confident walking around the rafters, see if a friend can recommend a company to assist you. </p>
<p class="Standard">Let's move on minimizing the drafts you may be feeling around your windows. Use curtains to your advantage and make sure you are letting the warmth of the sun in during the day and closing them up at night. Consider swapping out a lighter fabric for something a bit more substantial like wool or a curtain that contains a liner. Insulation kits are great for keeping those icy chills out of your home. They are easy to install and easy on the wallet. Any visible gaps between the window and frame could benefit from some caulking. </p>
<p class="Standard">Doors can be a bit tricky since they are constantly being used, but the use of a curtain or an insulation kit that covers any panes can be beneficial. A fresh layer of weather stripping and replacing a worn sweep at the base can also keep drafts at bay. The use of a door-snake could be used on the basement door or perhaps to the door of an unused room. Don't forget to examine the door leading to a garage or porch area. </p>
<p class="Standard">It is a bit chilly to address areas outside the home, but you can start a Spring to-do list and consider planting a tree or some shrubs near windows to cut down the wind and note any gaps or areas that may have developed & fill them with caulking.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="Standard">Ultimately you want your home to retain heat in the winter and remain cool in the summer. Replacement of older windows or doors is the best way to address all these issues so your home stays toasty warm & stays energy efficient no matter what the weather!<o:p></o:p></p>

2019-01-21T00:00:00-04:00Doors,Doors,Doors,Doors,Doors,Doors,Doors,Doors,Glass,Doors,Doors,Winter,Windows,DoorsWhat should I ask when choosing a Window Company?<p style="text-align: center;"> <input type="image" src="/uploads/image/abe(3).jpg" width="250" height="241" /></p>
<p class="Standard">Today's homeowners are fortunate when it comes time to make a repair or do some remodeling to their homes. There are probably several companies in the vicinity of the home to choose from to get the job done. A quick search of window replacement companies in the Lehigh Valley area produced over 25 results! How does one choose the right company for your needs? Here are some things you should be thinking about when choosing a window company or anyone that may be doing work in your home.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="Standard"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="Standard"><b><i>Start by examining the company itself. </i></b>How long have they been in business? Do they have a showroom where you can examine the products they carry? Does the showroom look pleasing, tidy and clean? An unkempt or disorganized area may mean other area of the business may follow suit. Is the staff welcoming and helpful? Do any of their offers seem like a gimmick? Be leery of buy one get one free offers or buy so many products and get free installation. Rest assured, those costs are being made up somewhere. Do they offer follow up service? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="Standard"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="Standard"><b><i>What does their installation team look like? </i></b>These people are gaining entry to your home and will be working among your family, make sure the company employing them has done a background check. What type of training have they had....in-house....from the manufacturer? Are they certified if necessary? Is their installation work guaranteed? <b><i><o:p></o:p></i></b></p>
<p class="Standard"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="Standard"><b><i>What types of products do they offer? </i></b>Are they brand names you have heard of....if not you may want to look up the brands to see what reviews they are getting. What type of warranty is offered with the product you are choosing? Do they carry Energy Star rated products? If they give you an estimate, if the contract easy to read? Did you receive a solid quote as opposed to a range of prices?<b><i><o:p></o:p></i></b></p>
<p class="Standard"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="Standard"><b><i>What does social media say about the company? </i></b>Look the business up and see what social media sites they use. Do they have any reviews? What are people saying about them? If they had a negative review, how did they handle it? Was it addressed or did they resolve the complaint? You can gain a real sense of a business from their website as well.<b><i><o:p></o:p></i></b></p>
<p class="Standard"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="Standard"><b><i>Word of mouth...talk to your friends. </i></b>Ask around, did someone you trust use a company recently or in the past? How was their experience? Would they recommend them? Did they stick to budget and the time-line to complete the work? If the job was done years ago, how are the products holding up? Where the workers respectful of their home? <b><i><o:p></o:p></i></b></p>
<p class="Standard"><b><i><o:p> </o:p></i></b></p>
<p class="Standard">We hope these questions will help guide you to the perfect window company for your needs.<b><i><o:p></o:p></i></b></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: larger;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><small>I love summer—the barbeques, the pool parties, the warm weather, the windows and doors all open to enjoy the beautiful breeze. Summer is my favorite season. However, there’s one thing I dislike about summer and that is trying to utilize my storm door.</small></span></span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: larger;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><small>I love the look of a full view storm door and I like how it protects my front door from the elements, but I dislike taking the glass out and putting the screen in. I’m not a fan of storing the glass or screen while one or the other is not in use. I’m always worried that I’ll drop the glass or bend the screen.</small></span></span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: larger;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><small>The self-storing storm doors with those pinch-in finger latches are a major frustration for me, as well. I always seem to lose my grip and send it crashing into the bottom of the track. Or else I happen to break a nail trying to pinch it into position.</small></span></span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: larger;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><small>However, I’ve learned that there is a cure to my storm door blues and that solution lies in Provia’s Spectrum storm door. In the Spectrum, the screen is stored on a roll so that I can simply raise or lower the sash in accordance to how much ventilation I desire. I can even vent the bottom so my cat and dogs can enjoy the breeze. When I’m finished, I just close the sash and the screen rolls back up. There’s no storage, no pinch tabs, no hassle.</small></span></span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: larger;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><small>I’ve been told there’s no cure for the summertime blues, but I believe those people have yet to experience the Spectrum storm door. I just love it!</small></span></span></p>

Right now, many of us are taking the necessary steps to prepare for the colder weather ahead. Winter clothes are coming out of storage, heavier blankets are on our beds and hot cocoa packets are at the ready to warm us up. Besides keeping ourselves warm, now is the time to make sure our homes are ready for those blasts of cold air. Let's take a look at your doors and windows and help you make practical fixes to areas that may be letting old man winter in.</p>
<p class="Standard"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="Standard">Begin by working from the outside in to address areas that may be letting cold air through. </p>
<p class="Standard">Check the caulk around windows and doors. Over time, caulk can wear and peel away leaving small gaps. As a part of your Fall maintenance, inspect the caulk and replace it or add a new line to repair it. </p>
<p class="Standard">The North face of your home could benefit from wind blocking features. A decorative fence panel or tall dense shrubs are excellent at deflecting colder air gusts. If changing some landscaping is on the docket for next spring, perhaps consider planting a tree in that area.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="Standard" style="text-align: center;"><o:p> <input type="image" src="/uploads/image/trees.jpg" width="250" height="353" /></o:p></p>
<p class="Standard"><o:p> </o:p>Functional shutters for your windows can benefit you all year round. Consider the hardworking Bermuda style, which can protect against the rain and wind in winter and provide shade and allow a cool breeze in summer. The addition of an awning can also assist in deflecting winter gusts.</p>
<p class="Standard"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="Standard" style="text-align: center;"><o:p> <input type="image" src="/uploads/image/special%20windows.jpg" width="350" height="525" /></o:p></p>
<p class="Standard">Moving on to your entryway, let's inspect the following areas of your door for problem spots. </p>
<p class="Standard"> </p>
<p class="Standard">Examine your weather stripping, door sweep and threshold for signs of wear or damage. Your local hardware store can provide new materials, such as foam adhesive strips, that are easily installed and cost effective. Door snakes are another functional, decorative way to block drafts from doors that may not see much use, but still allow a bit of cold air to enter the home, like the basement door.</p>
<p class="Standard"> </p>
<p class="Standard" style="text-align: center;"><input type="image" src="/uploads/image/door%20stopper.jpg" width="250" height="250" /></p>
<p class="Standard" style="text-align: left;">Most drafts are seen around your windows, but preventing them is easy by trying these simple solutions. </p>
<p class="Standard">Layering your windows with blinds or shades and then a heavier drape is an effective way to keep rooms warmer. Velvet fabric is a smart choice to use in the winter months. Cotton or linen fabrics with the addition of a lining can also provide an efficient barrier against the wind. </p>
<p class="Standard">Products like weather stripping and caulk can help create a tight seal between the window and frame. Always inspect and clean the areas to insure a smooth, effective application. </p>
<p class="Standard">Film insulation kits are easy to use and only require a few additional tools. Kits come with special two- sided tape and a plastic film that covers the window frame creating an airtight seal. This method works well on all shapes and sizes. When winter is over, the plastic film and tape are easy to remove so you can start to enjoy those spring breezes.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p>Over 3300 children are injured each year from window falls. As you begin to open your windows to let the fresh air of spring in, please take a few minutes to make sure your windows are safe and pose no risks for small children. To wrap up National Window Safety Week we offer these guidelines to ensure your family is safe. </p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal">Always supervise small children that may be playing in an area that has open windows. Perhaps consider designating a play area that is further away from open windows.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Kids love to climb! Keep furniture away from windows to avoid potential risks.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Never rely on a screen to prevent a fall. Let's keep the bugs out and your sweet children in.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">If you have double hung windows, open the top sash to allow for cool air to ventilate the room. <o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Home stores offer limited opening hardware kits, that allow for fresh air, but limit opening to only a few inches to prevent falls.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Always lock windows when not in use.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Cords are another potential hazard to small children. Keep cribs and furniture away from corded windows. If a long cord is present, wrap it up in a manner that does not pose a risk. The Window Covering Safety Council offers free retro fit cord devices. Please visit their website to learn more and obtain a kit for your window. <a href="http://windowcoverings.org/">http://windowcoverings.org/</a> </li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal">Mark your calendars to check your windows at least once a year. A few invested minutes could prevent a serious injury. Have a safe and happy Spring!<o:p></o:p></p>

What if we tweaked it a bit to: 'When one door or window closes....it's time to re-purpose!” There is so much charm in the patina of an old door or window. Keep your eye out at yard-sales, flea markets and thrift stores to score a great find. Look for wood that is still solid, don't worry too much about peeling paint, that can lend some character to the piece or be repainted. We recommend asking the age of the door or window, items before 1978 may contain lead paint, which can be hazardous. If you proceed, wear goggles and gloves if sanding and consider using the item more as artwork that won't be handled. We choose several DIY projects.....a few simple ones and several that might take an afternoon to complete. Be inspired by looking at things in a new light.<span style="text-align: right;"> </span></p>
<p class="Standard" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2"><!--[if !supportLists]-->1.<span style="font-variant-numeric: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal;"> </span><!--[endif]-->Just a few modifications will give you a sweet little seat to put on your boots and store away your kids gloves and hats. Choose a solid, not hollow, door for this project. Sand and paint the door a cheery color or allow the older paint to stay. You can take measurements to add a bench or small shelf. Some decorative hooks for purses, coats and scarfs complete the look.</p>

Sand, stain and paint as you choose to match your décor. A trip to the hardware store can provide you with legs that can be simply attached with mounting hardware and a few tools. If the door has a key hole or interesting knob, leave it on for some pizzazz. </p>

The panels are cut out and attached to the back of the door to make the shelves. Hinges and hardware can be left on for added appeal.

If you can find an old 6 paned window simply paint with chalkboard paint and utilize it as a weekly memo board or menu. A large four pane window can show off family pictures or beautiful prints from an antique book. In this example, sheet music and birds combine for a lovely look. Even finding a window frame with no glass can be used as a unique frame for artwork. </p>

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">We all have the urge to hang that big holiday wreath on the front door at this time of the year. However, how do we properly hang it in order to prevent damage to our door?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%">There is no reason to hammer a nail into your wooden door. You do not want to end up with split wood. Purchase an Over-the-Door Hanger. They have come along way over the years; you can find them in all types of finishes. Be sure to choose a strong metal hook that has a curve, so that it hangs clear of decorative door panels. To prevent the hanger from scratching the door, here are some simple suggestions:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:Symbol;mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;mso-bidi-font-family:Symbol">·<span style="font-variant-numeric: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-family: " times="" new=""> </span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%">Use felt behind the hanger. Cut the felt to the size of the hanger and be sure to use a color similar to the hanger.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:Symbol;mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;mso-bidi-font-family:Symbol">·<span style="font-variant-numeric: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-family: " times="" new=""> </span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%">Attach little bumpers, those like the ones that are on the inside of your kitchen cabinet doors. Line these up and down the hanger.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%">If you have a metal or steel front door, you can purchase a Magnetic Wreath Hanger. Hang it where you want to display your wreath and then hang the wreath from a small hook. Most magnetic hangers hold up to 10 lbs. That is quit a big wreath!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%">The easiest solution is if you have a storm door. You don’t want to hide your wreath between the two doors, all this does is flatten the beauty of the wreath. Instead, hang it on the outside of the storm door. If you do not want to use an Over-the-Door Hanger, there are other simple solutions:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:Symbol;mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;mso-bidi-font-family:Symbol">·<span style="font-variant-numeric: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-family: " times="" new=""> </span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%">Use a suction cup hook on the door that can be removed when the wreath is ready to come down.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family:Symbol;mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;mso-bidi-font-family:Symbol">·<span style="font-variant-numeric: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-family: " times="" new=""> </span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%">3M command adhesive strips also serve the purpose in this case. They attach nicely to glass and can be removed easily. Just make sure to purchase the proper strips for the weight of your wreath.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%">These handy tips can be used all year round for your seasonal wreaths.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Your entry door is one of the first things most of your guests see and probably the most used door in your home. For this reason, you want to be sure you get exactly what you want and need for your investment.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family: " calibri="">Each home has its own unique look. With that being said, you want to make sure your door design compliments the rest of your home. When shopping, consider color, style, whether you want window inserts or not, while at the same time making sure you combine beauty and durability for the perfect fit.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family: " calibri="">The most popular material options for doors are steel, fiberglass & wood. Did you know fiberglass and steel doors are three to five times more efficient than most wood doors? Another great quality for purchasing a fiberglass or steel door is that they offer less maintenance than most other door options. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family: " calibri="">Any door you choose should always have the safety of your family in mind.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family: " calibri="">Consider purchasing a certified energy efficient product. This will save you money while lowering your energy bills at the same time. It will add comfort and efficiency that will shield you from the cold winter months and the hot summer heat. Lastly, it can protect your belongings and valuables from fading or discoloring should you decide to go with glass inserts in your front door. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family: " calibri="">It is very important to make sure you find a reputable company that makes your home improvement project as easy as possible. A reputable company will help you select and install the best products and assist you with financing options to stay within your budget<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family: " calibri="">A warranty is only good as it’s company. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: " calibri="">Each manufacturer has warranties specific to their products. In addition, some retailers may provide extended coverage on the installation of the product. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: " calibri="">There's no greater peace of mind than knowing you have one less worry by having your doors installed by professionals.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Truth is, there are doors out there that are so new and advanced that they set entirely new standards in categories like green performance, product longevity, and smart use of materials. Here's a case in point: the Embarq entrance door from ProVia. Embarq is a fiberglass door. At first glance, it looks like an attractive, premium representative of its class. Only when you check it out detail by detail do you understand why it's such a departure - and such an improvement - over its predecessors. It's thicker than standard doors - 43 percent thicker to accommodate more insulation. It's made with dual perimeter seals to reinforce that insulating performance. It comes with a bottom sweep to keep unwanted elements and uncomfortable temperatures on the outside. And special insulating channels in the side rails and headers top off its outstanding insulating effectiveness. The advantages of Embarq doors aren't only about insulation. The doors come with specially designed, ultra-durable thresholds. The lock area is reinforced to keep the door latching and locking smoothly for years to come. Four heavy-duty ball-bearing hinges are standard. And the surfaces of the door, inside and out, are as beautiful as they are lasting. ProVia is the only door company to win the Energy Star partner of the year award for door manufacturing. We think they've outdone themselves with Embarq - the most energy-efficient entry door system on the U.S. market.

That's our basement door line - though not glamorous, the cellar door is basic to the physical integrity of any home. It was the first product ABE offered when the company was formed in 1974.</p>
<p><br />
A good cellar door system keeps unwanted moisture out of the basement, helping to prevent or limit a host of problems including mold, mildew, decay of structural members, and even termite infestation. It stays functional for years, contributing to safe, convenient access to the basement level. It plays an important role in home security, creating an entrance that permits passage only to those allowed in.</p>
<p><br />
The first manufaturer whose line ABE carried, Gordon Corporation, remains one of our valued vendor/manufacturers today. Gordon steel cellar doors are provided with a one-piece header that runs the full width of the frame. They're designed to shed rain and snow without caulking and without leaks. An automatic hold-open safety latch keeps them securely open until released. Gordon doors include twin handles made of high-strength, U/V-rated polypropelene - they're attractive, ergonomic and make opening both sides easier. The doors include an internal locking device. You can also secure a Gordon door with a single padlock. Gordon doors are coated with uniformly applied alkyd resin primer, which is baked for a smooth, attractive, long-lasting finish.</p>
<p><br />
Our other cellar-door line is the well-known Bilco brand, an industry leader since 1926. Bilco products feature the exclusive Torsion Cam System for doors that open smoothly and stay securely locked open until you're ready to close them. Bilco doors shed water effortlessly. They're designed not to bind up even during periods of ice and snow. These doors include slide bolt locks and internal mounting flanges for excellent security; they're available with optional keyed exterior lock sets. Overall they're sturdy and rugged, with heavy-gauge steel construction and strong concealed hinges, providing weather protection and lasting all-season operation.</p>

<p>Of all the businesses that will be founded in 2014, we can confidently predict that only a fraction will still be around in 2054. And if we look 40 years in the other direction, back to the spring of 1974, we'll find that only a relative handful of businesses begun then are still with us now. One of those companies is ABE Doors and Windows. This June, we celebrate our 40th anniversary serving the consumers of the Lehigh Valley. It seems timely to pause and consider what's helped get us here.</p>
<p>The company was started by a student just finishing his Business Administration degree at Bloomsburg University. Jim Lett, president of ABE Doors and Windows, says he wanted to open a business of his own - and the business found him. "I called home one day," he said. "My dad was selling building materials. He said one of the customers he represented, the Gordon Cellar Door company, needed someone to install their doors in the Lehigh Valley."</p>
<p>"It was just a casual conversation, but that's how it began. I wrote Gordon a letter and they wrote back to get me started. I worked out of my bedroom and my parents' garage - I had a lot of help from them."</p>
<p>With brothers helping with installations and his mom answering the phone while he was out on jobs, Jim replaced old wooden basement doors with modern steel versions. To free time for sales and estimating, he brought on his first full-time employee, Richard Miller, who's still a top salesman at ABE today.</p>
<p>Jim branched out into other products. The Frantz garage door company needed coverage in the Valley. Jim flew to their headquarters in Sterling, IL for a crash course in the product, working with their field installation crews. He met the district manager of Perma-Door through his brother Bob's involvment in Boy Scouts, and signed on with them just as steel entry doors were replacing wooden doors for residential applications. "People always say you need a good business plan," Jim says. "My business plan was hard work, good luck and taking care of the customer after the sale."</p>
<p>Year by year, with his wife Janet playing a vital role in the business, ABE kept expanding. The product line added patio doors, storm doors, commercial/industrial garage doors and garage door repairs. The emphasis for four decades remained basic: handle quality products, delivering quality installation and service.</p>
<p>In particular, ABE has emphasized customer care. "If there's a problem, we want to take care of it immediately," Jim said. Today ABE continues to put service in the forefront, maintaining up-to-date factory training certifications among its skilled staff. "We hear from consumers who say the people who installed their doors and windows won't answer their calls or are just our of business. The difference is, they know we'll be here," said Shannon Seng, office manager. Mark Rapchak, general manager, said, "A big thing in service is employee longevity. Average tenure here is almost 17 years, which helps us realize Jim's vision of pleasing customers no matter what."</p>
<p>A new generation of ABE personnel is moving the company into the future, among them Business/HR Manager Jim Lett II, son of the founder. "How we do going forward comes down to putting the customer first. If we're going to meet or exceed their expectations, we'll need to offer quality products - but we can't do it without really excellent workers."</p>

This year, when homeowners gather on March 28, 29 and 30 to see what's on display at Stabler Arena, the harshness of the winter should make attendees even more eager and excited than usual. ABE Doors and Windows is just one of hundreds of exhibitors who'll be on hand. We all know what a slog it's been getting through one of the nastiest seasons in years. Many homes around the valley can benefit from some improvements going forward. Keep in mind that a new door can have a truly transforming effect on any home. A beautiful garage door, patio door or entrance door can make a tremendous difference, not only visually but also in the way you feel about your home as the nicer weather comes in. Please note that 2014 show hours have changed. The new hours are Friday, 5-9 p.m.; Saturday, 10 a.m.-8 p.m., and Sunday 11 a.m.-4 p.m. That gives plenty of time for visitors to take in this year's big event. It's our privilege to invite you to Booths S068-070 and S083-085, where we'll be presenting a range of door and window products that may be just what you need to truly improve your home and banish those lingering cold-weather blues.</p>

Today's BBB rates businesses on a scale from A+ to F, while offering accreditation to those who qualify. The Bureau also sets standards for business practices, and supports the efforts of businesses to respond to any complaints that may arise in the course of regular work. ABE Doors & Windows earned BBB accreditation on July 14, 2008, and has maintained it ever since. On the BBB's ratings scale, ABE holds the highest rating: A+. The Bureau identifies no government actions against ABE, and reports no issues related to ABE's advertising program. For a look at the relevant web page, visit http://www.bbb.org/washington-dc-eastern-pa/business-reviews/windows-installation-and-service/a-b-e-doors-windows-inc-in-allentown-pa-50001077. To be accredited and top-rated by this respected American institution is, of course, a substantial honor to ABE and all its employees. But we believe that what matters far more than our pride in these recognitions is what they mean to our customers. While the ratings and accreditations issued by the Better Business Bureau do not constitute specific evaluations or endorsements, countless consumers have been guided by them through the years. The good name of the BBB is such that businesses who achieve their ratings and accreditations have often been patronized by consumers. And if any difficulties arise, the good offices of the Bureau contribute strongly to fair resolutions for all. We believe that ratings from the Bureau are a legitimate consideration when choosing any business - and ABE Doors & Windows is no exception.</p>
