HI Friends!

Windows that are MADE green as well as making your house more green!  We will be at the Spring into Green Expo, celebrating Earth Day.  Taking place on Saturday, 21st  from 10-3 at Lakewood Heritage Park, Virginia Av, just west of Wadsworth,

Dan the Window Man will be showing windows that save energy for your home AND are made in factories awarded for their GREEN methods.

Alside Windows, out of Cedar Rapids IA, and Andersen Windows with an offering called Andersen 100 Series are both companies utilizing recycled materials, upcycling techniques and green manufacturing!

Come on down next Saturday, and learn from dozens of companies how to save money, be more comfortable and making our planet a better place to hang out in!

There are so many gift ideas for the holiday season, but what could be better than energy saving, warming, wonderful, easy to clean windows?  Instead of stuffing your feet into your stockings this year, why not make your home more cozy and secure and save $$$$ too on your utilites?  

I want to make you an offer.  Call me between now and the 28th of December, and I will install a new entry door for every 9 windows I install for you!  Already have doors? I will do insulation for your attic.  Already have that and you think you are all set with all the savings you could get from your home? I will do a thorough air infiltration test and plug up the holes!  

Call me today to get started.  We have sold over 21 lines of windows for over a decade and are celebrating 30 years in business this month, so consider this a new start and a commitment by Dan the Window Man to save more energy in the next 30 years as I have in the first 30 years in business.   Dan Ryan, owner 303-232-3229  anytime!   

Hi all!

Dan the Window Man is giving to local charities $25 for every window contract done between 8/1 and 12/31 this year.  The poorest kids in Jefferson County will be the receipients of as much as $2500 donated by us (this figure estimated by the sales numbers from last year).

You can help by purchasing from us, and if you wish, even doing a matching donation.  Ask us how!  You can qualify your giving by stated name and program.  Many to choose from in this county!

Dan and his crews have been giving to local charities and scholorship programs for over a decade now, and we feel proud that our customers, just by purchasing our low priced high quality windows and installation have helped fund many needed programs.

Thank you to all my customers that purchase from us.  We use the proceeds and personal profits to do things we believe in, and believe it makes stronger communities!

The intensity of the summer sun in Colorado is a costly attack to our homes.  Fading furnishings, carpet and flooring, window coverings are happening through the glass of our old windows and doors every day, and drying out the sills and paint, and even US inside the home.

The new LowE glass offered in the windows from Dan the Window Man protect us and our home from the relentless sun, and give a pleasant view to the outdoors.  You can protect the entry of the UV rays up to 98% and save on cooling costs in electricity, noise pollution from the constantly running air conditioners, and the release of toxic gas to our environment.  All this and get a quieter home (the new glass is argon filled and blocks noise levels), more even temperatures, and healthier interiors in our homes.

Call today for a demonstration right in your own home how much the new Replacement windows make sense for our precious investment, our home.

Yes, the summer street fairs and carnivals are here, and Dan will be showing windows, doors, photos, and new colors at the Highland Square street fair next weekend, June 18, 2011.  Dan has been doing this for 13 years now, and the fair gets bigger and more attended each of those years.

Always a blast, with 3 stages of music, lots of food and drink, and a beer garden in the center of it all.  It goes from 10am- 10pm that day, rain or shine!

Dan will be showing the new colors of Andersen 100 series windows, Milgard Tuscany, and the new EnduraClad window from Peachtree.  Simonton Garden windows and Andersen casement windows in Sandtone clad will be there, and a picture gallery of home in the Highlands that have Dan the Window Man windows and doors in them.    Come by and see how many you can ID and guess their addresses.

Dan will have some extra chairs and a shady spot to rest and review all the new window ideas,  come by and  party,  he will be in the east area on 32nd av, east of Lowell Blvd.

The new replacement windows work for keeping summer heat out too!

The new LowE coatings are doing an excellent job keeping the heat out, as well as the fading rays of the harsh Colorado sun, and our homes are thanking us!   Did you hear it say, “thanks for the protection  from the UV rays that fade my carpet, furniture, and draperies.”  If only our houses could talk, they could tell us a lot!

And the new LowE glass is great to keep the harshness out of looking out into a bright sunny day.  Just a little more mellow,  and comfortable.

When the AC doesn’t have to kick on till the later afternoon, you KNOW you area saving on the electric bill, and that is a real comfort.

Contact Dan for a consultation to see how you can save money and prevent damage 24/7,  365 days a year!      I love my job, making homes happy,  they say, “thanks!  I can relax a whole lot more now, no matter what the temperature!”

The other intrusion (cold coming in in winter and heat coming in during summer are eternal problems) to our homes is NOISE!  And energy efficient windows are also great for keeping out the sounds that are ever- increasing in our world .

Laminated glass is available to reduce sound levels even more.  It is like your windshield, a layer of plastic sandwiched in between, that keeps the windshield in place when it is hit with an object, that layer of plastic also is a great sound insulator.  Dan the Window Man can put this laminated glass in a window that is especially susceptable to loud traffic or neighbor noise, and greatly reduce the sound coming in.  My customers LOVE the quiet!   Call Dan the Window Man for a consultation on your windows!    303-232-3229  and ask for Dan the quiet window man!

Many questions on the status of Federal Tax credits for windows, insulation, siding, doors, and even water heaters.

Here are some highlights:

• If you have taken the maximum tax credit in any year, you aren’t eligible for more.  It is not a per year credit,  when you have gotten the max, you are done.
• Window tax credits in 2011  are a $200 maximum, with a legal way to apply for up to a total of $500 if certain requirements are met.
• Look at www.energystar.gov for details on the current tax credits.
• Insulated siding, some insulated roofing systems, doors, storm doors, and water heaters are eligible,  ($300 on water heaters alone!)
• Make SURE you buy products whose performance meets the tax credit requirements (not every window, door, siding or other product is good)

Take care to get a good qualified contractor that is knowledgeable in these tax credit stats.

It was a banner year for window and doors with the ARRA tax credit for energy conservation last 2 years.  It created many jobs and new interest in energy savings, both important and impressive changes in this new economy after the super recession.

Windows remain an excellent way to add comfort, value and great looks to my customers homes.  Thanks to all who have trusted me in the past 29 years,  I am here to stay, for another 30 I think.  New window technology (including glass that generates electricity, pv solar) and materials are coming out every year, making this a really fun and fascinating business to be in as this new millenium gets started.
