eShield
Why you should consider eSheild multi layer Thermal Reflective Insulation for your home?
It will reduce your heating and cooling costs by 25%!
Mass insulation like fiberglass and cellulose only slows down heat transfer eSheild combines R-Value with a dual reflective shield that reflects 97% of the heat that it comes in contact with. One layer of eSheild 11000 is equal to over 15″ of additional Fiberglass insulation
Unlike spray on or foil radiant barrier eSheild reflects heat in both directions so it keeps in your home during the winter and out in the summer. This is the single most energy efficient home improvement you can make

Solar Efforts and A New Program!
Well we are still working on implementation of our solar program. This is taking more time than I thought! There is a lot to do in preparation of installing solar hot water or solar voltaic in someone’s home. So if you are a homeowner looking for these types of energy savings products be sure TO CHECK OUT YOUR CONTRACTOR! They have to have passed certification tests to be able to install solar PV which is the kind of solar that produces Electricity to operate appliances in your home. This is due to the fact that they are connecting your system to the electric service grid. This can be dangerous if it is not done properly! If something happens after a faulty installation the home owner is responsible. So make sure your contractor is fully insured and Solar Certified!
In the News
You may have heard the long awaited Cash for Caulkers program has been passed and up to $3000 will be available to any homeowner who has a complete home energy audit done and their home weatherized. Statewide Remodeling can do this for you. We have Resnet certified HERS Raters on our staff. These folks have been trained and certified to do a full home energy audit. We can do a 20 point basic audit for no fee. Which is a normal $249. We can do the complete audit which includes the basic 20 point inspection blower door test, duct blaster test and a heat loss test. There is a fee for this one but with your complete home weatherization up to $3000 is covered by the Cash for Caulkers program. Don’t be misled by companies offering this service who are not certified! You will not get the rebate with their service.
Our government is getting excited about saving energy and that is good for homeowners.

Kicking off 2010 with a blast!
We have been extremely busy here at Statewide since the first of the year. The Solar photovoltaic manufacture I was working with turned out not to be what we thought they where. I am working with a new supplier on this product and plan to go to market with Solar by early summer. It’s pretty exciting! With Oncor & Federal rebates, a homeowner will be able to replace between 30 & 40% of their electric costs for around $14-15,000. This can give an ROI in the 8% range. I don’t know where you can get that kind of consistent return with your money in the bank? I know I can’t. I am in the process of getting one of these systems installed on my home. I’ll keep you updated on that. We are bracing ourselves for our first email blast with Costco for our eSheild product. Our manufacturer of this product, which I just had installed in my house, has made an arrangement to distribute this product through Costco.com. The email goes out next week to over 10,000,000 Costco customers!! I need to get back to work to continue to prepare for this.
Thanks,

End Of Year Savings!
Well the Holidays are upon us and the end of a strange year is near. I don’t think I have to bring up the fact that for many of us this has been a year like no other. One of the things we have done here at Statewide Remodeling to help local homeowners looking for improvements is to hold the line on pricing as well as diversify our product lines. We are now a full service remodeler vs. Sunrooms, Siding & Windows. We also do Kitchen & Bath Remodeling. We have a full line of walk in bathtubs. So if you have mobility issues you can regain your bathing freedom & forget the fear of falling in the tub. We also have a great acrylic tub reliner product that can renew your tub or shower for thousands less that a tear out. We have certified home energy auditors on staff. We can evaluate the energy efficiency of your home and for very little expense can show you how to reduce your heating & cooling costs as well as lower your overall utility bill. I had my home weatherized 2 years ago & with an all electric home my electric bill has gone down almost 20%. So from now until the end of the year I am offering a free $500 Statewide Remodeling gift card toward the purchase of any complete job with a contract date by 12-31-2009. Hope this helps you. Happy Holidays!

Things are happening at Statewide Remodeling
Well the trip to the remodelers show was very interesting. While I did not find a Solar Hot Water manufacturer as I had hoped for, I did meet some interesting people and learn some more about Solar. I have a manufacturer I am working with that offers a solar photovoltaic system which is the type that supplies electricity for the whole house. They have special pricing that allows customers who have an electric bill of $150.00 a month or higher to reduce their monthly electric expense by 10-15% including paying for the solar system! Sounds good to me. I’ll keep you posted as the research continues. By the way our kitchen remodeling business is really starting to take off. A lot of exciting things are going on at Statewide!

Remodeler's Show and new program from Oncor
We are still working on the solar for your home program. I am on my way to the Remodelers Show in Indianapolis. There are always some new & exciting products there. I will be looking at solar hot water systems. In case you don’t know Oncor has a new program called “Take a load off Texas” Solar Hot water for Texas Homeowners is on their list for rebates. Visit their web site @ www.takealoadofftexas.com for more details. I’ll have more info when I get back from the Remodelers Show.
Here's what is going on at Statewide!
We had several of our design consultants go through a class this week to get certified to do home energy inspections. It was very interesting. This will help Statewide help our customers to better understand how to make their homes more energy efficient. This does not mean that every home we inspect will need windows or E-Shield attic blanket. We will have a check list that we will create for every customers home we inspect that will outline improvements they can do that will reduce the energy consumption. It can be as simple as adding a set back thermostat & putting gaskets behind their light switch & wall plug covers. Stay tuned to our blog. I will be announcing a whole house solar system in the next week or so that will replace 70-80% of your electric usage and you will actually make money with it! How about if you could get this system installed on your home with no up front costs & no monthly out of pocket money? It can be done. I’ll get back to you soon with the details. This is exciting stuff!

The Texas State Fair starts September 25th!
We are counting down the days until the state fair begins. If you have never been you need to go. I always go and take the family (all of them I can round up!) We go opening day which is always a Friday. It’s great! Everybody is in a good mood & the corny dogs are great! If you come by our showroom & sign up for a free estimate I will give you 2 free tickets to the fair. If you have a bigger family I could probably be talked into more tickets. Stop by the Statewide booth inside the Grand Place building which is right behind & to the right of Big Tex. Did I mention that Statewide Remodeling is the official Home Remodeling Company of the 2009 State Fair? It’s True listen for Big Tex to talk about Statewide. Howdy Folks I got my new windows from Statewide Remodeling! Just kidding. I bet those are some big windows in Big Tex’s house!

New Exclusive E-Shield Attic System
Check out our web site for our new exclusive E-Shield attic system product. This insulation blanket is so energy efficient it does not require the addition of blown insulation in your attic to qualify for the energy tax credit which can get you up to $1,500 off your federal income tax! The other guys are using a paint type spray on barrier which does almost nothing to keep heat inside the house, which is what you need in the winter. Our E-Shield does both keeps heat out in the summer and in the winter. So kick that radiant barrier paint bucket and get a real energy savings product that will cost no more than their product & work for you and your home year round.
