97 Riverbend is getting new windows!
We are taking the plunge and commiting to re-windowing the majority of our house. We’ve only lived in Riverbend since November of 2007 (almost 2 years), but it’s time to stop wasting energy and money and chalk up to the expense of new windows.
We weren’t quite sure what the Riverbend Approval process was, but after we selected the windows and vendor we contacted the Management Group via a letter stating our intentions.
Some of the rules we must follow are:
Replace all Casement windows with Casement windows. We are not allowed to have vertical closure.
The outside color of the window frames must be brown.
Receive approval from the board (or board member).
We are also replacing all 3 sets of sliding glass doors, since we lose a ton of energy through the doors too.
The reason I am posting this information is a) for informative reasons and b) so people can walk on by our place and see the difference.
Window replacements “supposedly” have an 85% ROI (return on investment) associated with them, as long as you purchase good quality windows.
The windows we have purchased are Marvin Infinity Windows (fiberglass). The installation should occur some time in mid-July over a 2-day period.
Our extra bonus is the $1500 tax credit that the government is providing via the Tax Act 2009!
Feel free to respond with any questions you may have.
My best, Christine
