Did you miss seeing us at the January Home Show?  Well, don't worry, because you can come and visit with us at the Calgary Home and Garden show at the BMO Centre on February 23 - 26th.  You will find us at the back of the main hall at booth # 833. We are more than happy to take the time to discuss solutions for the exterior renovation project that you are planning to complete this spring or summer. 

If you are preparing to install replacement windows and doors in your home then I would, of course, suggest that you speak with us about what we can offer you in terms of selection, quality and experience. We are in our 21st year of business in Calgary.

Also, keep in mind that we do more than just window and door replacements.  We can refinish the full exterior of your home with Hardie Board siding, stone and stucco.  We also can rebuild decks, build out dormers and complete wood framing additions.   S.I.S. is one of the few contractors in the city that have installation experience with the new Eco-clad (bamboo composite) siding.  Come back to our gallery soon - there will be photos of this very contemporary siding product.  

The show hours are as follows:

Thursday, February 23:    Noon - 9:00 p.m.

Friday, February 24:         Noon - 9:00 p.m.

Saturday, February 25:    10:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m.

Sunday, February 26:       10:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.

Plan to come and visit us at the show and while you are there, enter our draw to win the supply and install of a Plygem Ambassador PVC window.  See our booth for details!  Have a look at our new "Video Gallery" under the "Media Gallery" tab on the main navigation bar on our website www.sisltd.ca.  The two videos demonstrate the wide project scope that we are capable of completing.

For more information on the show, visit:  www.calgaryhgs.com.

I know that spring and summer seem to be a long way off, but in a blink of an eye, it will be here.  Don't hesitate, call us today and we will share our ideas for your project!  Call 403-640-1334.

 

 

Now that the Christmas Holidays are coming to an end and hopefully you have survived New Year's you may want to start thinking about that renovation you began contemplating in 2011.  My suggestion, of course, is that you come to visit us at the Calgary HomExpo at the BMO Centre from Jan 13 - Jan15th.  You will find us in booth #277 at the very front of the show.

As per Arnie Gess of www.albertahomeowner.com there are several great benefits to home owners who attend home shows. 

• See first-hand the latest trends, ideas and innovations for the modern Canadian home;

• Meet face-to-face with leading suppliers of products and services for the industry;

• Personally test out certain products and services of interest before you buy;

• Attending a local home show shows support for your community and the local businesses in your area;

• Bring along the family or a friend and make it a fun outing.

So come down and  see us and while you are there enter our draw for the supply and install of a PlyGem Ambassador PVC Window (see our booth for details)!  Remember we have the knowledge and skill to complete any exterior renovation you have in mind.  Replacement windows, stone, stucco, siding (including Hardy Board and Eco Clad - a bamboo composite exterior siding), wood framing, roll shutters, and fabulous doors from Portatec.

Remember there is free parking on all three days for the first 300 hundred vehicles.  The early bird gets the worm!  For more details on the show see: http://www.showswork.com/CHE.html

 

Did you know that the Government of Alberta also offers an Energy Efficiency Rebate Program?  This program provides even more of an incentive to those of you who may be considering residing and insulating your home before the winter months hit.  (I know, I know - don't say the "w" word). 

There are two components to the Provincial Energy Grant.

1.    eEcoEnergy Retrofit Pre and Post Evaluations:

The cost for the Pre Retrofit Evaluation is $300.00 – The Government of Alberta will cover $100.00 of this.
The cost for the Post Retrofit Evaluation is $150.00 - The Government of Alberta will cover $100.00 of this after completion.

This means that the cost of your evaluations drop from $450.00 down to $250.00 after the rebate.

 2.    Exterior Wall Insulation:

The Government of Alberta also offers an Exterior Wall Insulation Grant in conjunction with the Federal ecoEnergy Retrofit Grant.  The Provincial grant matches up to 75% of the Federal Grant. 

A person could receive up to $1575.00 using R-3.8 – R-9 insulation covering 80% of the exterior walls between the Federal and Provincial grants.

Once a person applies for the Federal Grant, all of the information is automatically passed onto the Provincial Government and no extra paperwork or filling out forms is necessary.

Once again, don't delay if you are considering a full exterior renovation and planning to have your siding replaced and new insulation added!  This Provincial Grant Program may end at the end of March 2012 - although a date has not be specified at this point.

Contact us at 403-640-1334 for more details or simply click on the orange "Request a Quote" link above and enter your contact details.  In most instances we will contact you the same day.
