Killearn Lakes Hobby Room/ Garage and Pool!

This month we started working on a project in the Killearn Lakes area. For this customer, we are building a garage/hobby room, a pool (a lap pool and spa!) with a screened in pool cage.


We started with the foundation to build the hobby room followed by excavation in order to lay the pool in the ground.


 Here are some of the walls that are going up for the hobby room/garage.



A first look of the luxurious lap pool and spa!



Check back for more updates on this project soon!

Window & Door Tax Credit




There’s good news for consumers this tax return season. As part of the Taxpayer Relief Act, Congress has extended Federal Consumer Tax Credits for Energy Efficiency to 2013, along with making them retroactive for 2012. In addition, tax credits for geothermal heat pumps, small wind turbines, solar energy systems, and fuel cells are still available through 2016.
What does this mean for you? If you purchased certain energy-efficient products during 2012, or plan to in 2013, you may be eligible for a tax credit.
You may receive a tax credit for 10% of the cost up to $500, or a specific amount from $50-$300 for the six following product categories.
  • Biomass stoves
  • HVAC systems
  • Insulation
  • Roofing (metal & asphalt)
  • Water heaters (non-solar)
  • Windows and doors.
The products above must be installed in an existing home or your principal residence on or before December 31, 2013.
The following three product categories are eligible for a tax credit of 30% of the cost with no upper limit until December 31, 2016. These can be used on new or existing homes, and a principal residence or second home would both qualify (but not rentals).
  • Geothermal heat pumps
  • Small wind turbines (residential)
  • Solar energy systems
Finally, you may receive a tax credit for 30% of the cost, up to $500 per .5 KW of power, for residential fuel cells and microturbine systems through December 31, 2016. These can be used on new or existing homes, but only a principal residence. Second homes and rentals do not qualify.
To receive these tax credits, you will need to submit the 5695 form with your 2012 taxes. To learn more information about specific requirements for each product and applying for these tax credits, please visit ENERGY STAR®.

Why Choose PGT Windows and Doors?

At PGT Industries, they build award winning windows and doors that protect and beautify your home. PGT headquarters is located right here in Florida, and is operated by a team of 1,000 residents just like you and I. We are proud  to be an authorized dealer of these locally manufactured home improvement products. NRG Industries has been serving the Tallahassee and surrounding areas for 30 years, and we know the importance of providing our customers with top-rated products. Coincidently, NRG and PGT are celebrating our 30 year anniversaries. Here are some FAQ's on our PGT products.

Q: Every company says their products are high quality. How can I know that PGT is any different?

A: You’re right; quality can be an overused word. But in the case of PGT, they’ve proven the quality of their products. Over three million impact-resistant doors and windows have been installed in homes without one reported failure. That is a remarkable track record.

 

Q: That seems impossible. Maybe they’ve just been lucky.

A: You can’t stay in business for 30 years by relying on luck. PGT puts its products through incredibly tough durability tests to make sure they can withstand almost anything. In fact, they have their own lab where they test products against hurricane-force winds, water intrusion and even projectiles.

 

Q: How can PGT maintain control over its manufacturing process?

A: PGT has its own manufacturing plant where nearly everything is self-contained. They do their own laminating, tempering and insulating. They have engineers on staff to make sure every part is designed to code. Since they make their own products and everything that goes in them, they have an exceptional ability to control quality.
 
Q: Why choose NRG to install PGT products?
 
A: We are a locally owned and operated company with the same name and phone number for 30 years. We have a BBB rating of an A+, and we strive to serve our customers to the best of our ability.

Thinking of Remodeling Your Home?

Wondering what your options are? Our professional contractors can help you explore your renovation possibilites from floor to ceiling. The pictures below are after photos of a recent job. NRG replaced the siding, windows, back patio, front porch, and we also remodeled the kitchen and bathroom. Remodeling is a great way to increase the value and utility of your home, while saving money on energy costs! 

Back patio extension with stairwell into back yard

  • Fiberglass batts can insulate the wall cavity, but not the framing.
  • Uninsulated wood framing makes up to ¼ of the wall area of a home.
  •    

                                       The benefits of Generations Thermal Core Siding include:

    Increased Energy Efficiency
    • Wrapping your home with the Generations Insulated Exterior Wall System provides a blanket of protection over the un-insulated wood framing, and may provide energy cost savings of 20% or more annually.
    • The need for other foam insulations is eliminated.
    Increased R Value
    • R-Value is the measurement of resistance to hot air moving towards cold air. Generations features R-Values ranging from 2.88 to 3.57. The higher the number the better the insulating property.
    Energy Star Qualified
    • Energy efficiencies are high enough that they contribute to less energy generation. Less energy production contributes to a cleaner environment.
    Reduced Noise Transmission
    • Foam lamination reduces noise from outside the home.

    PGT® Vinyl Windows (as seen above) and Doors (as seen below) feature a beautiful, clean look that’s virtually maintenance-free.

Vinyl’s superior insulation keeps the frame tight and intact, without swelling or warping.PGT Vinyl Windows and Doors even make it easy to perform what little maintenance is required. All single hung windows and double hung windows feature a convenient tilt-in sash for easy cleaning of both inside and outside surfaces.New windows can do much more than beautify your home. They can also lower your energy bills. From the quality materials used in the frames to the double-pane insulating glass used in their assembly, PGT Vinyl Windows and Doors are your homes best barrier against wasted energy.  NRG offers many Energy Star® rated configurations of windows and doors.
