THE ATLANTIC REMODELING CORPORATION ANNOUNCES OPENING OF FREDERICK OFFICE

Company’s Fifth Regional Office Will Expand Services to Western Maryland, West Virginia

Baltimore, Maryland (March 20, 2012) – The Atlantic Remodeling Corporation President and CEO, Bertram Lebhar, IV, today announces the opening of the company’s fifth regional office in Frederick, Maryland. The company expects to create 40-50 new jobs at its Frederick location, providing a boost to the local economy while creating professional opportunity for dozens within Frederick’s greater community.

The Atlantic Remodeling Corporation currently provides residential remodeling services from Philadelphia (PA) to Southern New Jersey to Fredericksburg (VA). This is the first time the company has extended its reach into the western portions of the mid-Atlantic market. “We are very excited about our expansion,” says Lebhar. “We are proud to be hiring new employees from the region and look forward to bringing the highest quality home remodeling services to Frederick and beyond.”

“By opening our newest regional location, we will be able to serve clients in Maryland’s Frederick and Washington Counties, West Virginia’s Jefferson County and homes in the northern Virginia and southern Pennsylvania regions. Because we work
with so many quality manufacturers, we have the ability to uniquely tailor projects to meet the resource needs of each consumer.” says Lebhar. The company’s other regional offices are located in Baltimore and Beltsville, MD, Newark, DE and Fairfax, VA.

While The Atlantic Remodeling Corporation uses only the highest grade materials and products from some of the most recognized names in the building supply industry, they are perhaps best known for their RED CENT GUARANTEE, which ensures homeowner satisfaction before payment. Regardless of contract size, The Atlantic Remodeling Corporation guarantees its work with the promise that customers will not pay “one red cent” until the job is completed to satisfaction. Lebhar embraces this sound business practice because he believes that trust is earned one job at a time no matter how long a company has been in business; installation team members have all have been certified by The American Architectural
Manufacturers Association.

The Atlantic Remodeling Corporation has been prestigiously named as a Big50 company by Remodeling Magazine; fewer than 1,200 companies nationwide have been recognized as a Big50 leader since the award was first presented in 1986. Among many business and community-based accolades, Lebhar has also been honored as an Ernst & Young’s Entrepreneur of the Year finalist.

Do-It-Yourself Home Energy Audit

Thursday, January 19th, 2012

Is your home a little drafty? Do you think it is not quite as energy efficient as it should be? Well, there is a way to assess the energy efficiency of your home. A home energy assessment, also known as a home energy audit, allows you to measure the energy your home uses in order to make your home more energy efficient. And the more energy efficient your home is, the more money you save! So what are you waiting for?

A DIY home energy assessment is much easier than you may think. And while it is not as accurate as a professional energy audit, it is still a great way top locate areas in which your home may be wasting energy.

Let’s get to work…

When conducting your DIY home energy audit, keep a checklist of areas you have inspected and problems you found. This list will help you prioritize your energy efficiency upgrades and will provide your professional remodeling contractor with all the information he/she needs.

Locating Air Leaks: Eliminating drafts not only makes your home more comfortable, but it could save you up to 30% on your energy bills annually. For starters, you should check for inbound air leaks around the following:

•      Along baseboards

•      The edge of flooring

•      Junctures of the wall and ceiling

•      Electrical outlets

•      Switch plates

•      Window frames

•      Weather stripping around doors

•      Fireplace dampers

•      Attic hatches

•     Wall- or window-mounted air conditioners

•      gaps around pipes and wires

•      All exterior corners of the home

•      Where siding and chimneys meet

•      Areas where the foundation and the bottom of exterior brick or siding meet

Plug or caulk any problem areas or call a professional home improvement contractor for larger projects, such as window replacements.

Insulation: Insulation is important all year round in each and every homeowner’s fight to keep their home comfortable. By helping to maintain a comfortable temperature in your home, insulation keeps your HVAC system from working extra hard to produce the same results. This means that you will save money every month on your energy bills.

First, you will need to make your way to the attic. Next, look across the span of the attic. If you cannot see your floor joists and your insulation is evenly distributed throughout the attic, you probably have enough insulation. Adding more would just be a waste of money. But if your insulation level is just below your floor joists, you should add more.

If you attic insulation levels look okay, but your attic is still drafty, this may be the sign of a more serious problem. Call a roofing expert to come out and take a look.

Benefits of Replacement Windows

Friday, January 13th, 2012

If you are looking for a home improvement project that will not only update the appearance of your home, but also provide a great return on your initial investment, then look no further. Window replacement is the way to go!

Replacing your windows has many benefits, especially if you own an older home. These benefits include:

Instant Curb Appeal: New windows will give your home an extra aesthetic element, adding instant curb appeal.

Increase Home Value: New windows will add to the resale value of your home. Plus, window replacement has a very high return on investment (ROI), right around 80%, making it one of the most cost effective home improvement projects you can undertake.

Reduce Maintenance: New windows require far less maintenance, especially if you are making the switch from wood windows.

Lower Energy Bills: Inefficient windows account for 20-30% of a home’s energy loss. That means that your HVAC system has to work 20-30% harder to achieve your desired indoor temperature. And when your HVAC system works harder, you spend more money every month on your heating and cooling bills. Replacing your windows will reduce energy loss and save you money!

As you can see, there are several benefits to replacing your windows. So what are you waiting for? Replace your old windows with new, energy efficient windows as soon as possible!
