John Temmel - The Siding, Windows & Deck Guy

03-14-2012
"We took John Temmel's advice and replaced all 17 of our 19 year old builder-grade, single pane windows. John recommends the solid PVC sash kits from EnviroGuard. This is a quality, rot-free product with a great warranty offered at a very reasonable price. The first thing we noticed is, how much quieter our home is after installing the new windows. In the past, during peak summer months, running our air conditioner, our electric bill would sometimes top $280 in one month! Our neighbor with a similar size home, double pane windows and a high-end Energy Star AC unit pays approx $90 per month for electricity during the hottest summer months. Our neighbor's electric bill inspired us to purchase these new windows. Although we've just installed the windows, we are confident they will save us a pretty good chunk of change throughout the upcoming hot summer months. I will let you know."

Notice of Class Action Lawsuit against CertainTeed:
From classaction.org:
"California property owners who have experienced CertainTeed siding problems may be able to participate in a class action lawsuit against CertainTeed. The building materials company has been accused of selling defective siding since at least 2002, and California property owners who have experienced fiber cement shrinkage, warping or other problems may be able to participate in a CertainTeed siding class action lawsuit. A California class action lawsuit against CertainTeed would allow a large group of homeowners the opportunity to collectively bring a claim against the manufacturer to recover compensation for their CertainTeed siding problems."
