We don’t often think of winter as the best time of year for home improvement projects, but that couldn’t be further from the truth when it comes to getting new windows. In fact, winter may be the best time of year to get new windows. This post will cover a few of the reasons to consider upgrading your windows this upcoming winter.

You’ll save a bundle on heating bills
Do you dread the thought of opening up your heating bill because you know it’s going to cost a fortune? Consider investing in new windows. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that replacing single-pane windows with Energy Star-rated double- or triple-pane windows can save a homeowner $126 to $465 per year on energy bills.
Those savings really add up over time—your new windows may pay for themselves in 10 years or so. Just be sure to choose a reputable window installer to ensure you’re getting the best deal on your new windows.

Winter is the best time to detect problems
Window materials shrink in winter weather, exposing your home to cold drafts and precipitation. Because of this, many homeowners don’t even notice that they have window issues until winter arrives and the materials shrink. Winter is the best time for window replacement because a professional can easily identify your problem windows and only replace the ones that absolutely need it.

You can get a better price during the winter
Summertime is the peak season for many window installers, so they’re less likely to offer discounts on their windows and installation services. But as business declines towards the end of autumn, many companies start offering discounts to attract customers. It’s not uncommon for homeowners to be able to save 20 to 40 percent on the price of new windows and installation by waiting until the winter rolls around.
Again, do your research to make sure you’re hiring a reputable installation team. The last thing you want is to get new windows only to find out they’ve been installed improperly.

Why are energy-efficient doors worth the money?

Doors are a home's first line of defense against the elements. They keep out rain, snow, and cold air in winter, as well as bugs and humidity in summer.

When it comes to home improvement, many people focus on home windows for their energy efficiency. However, doors can be just as important. If you're wondering why energy-efficient doors are worth the money for your home, here are a few reasons.

Energy-efficient doors keep out cold air. In winter, energy-inefficient doors can allow up to 30 percent of a home's heat to escape. Energy-efficient doors have a tighter seal all around and often have insulation on their panels or frames. They also have low-E glass or fill to keep heat from escaping.

Energy-efficient doors are more secure. Doors with energy efficiency features could save you hundreds of dollars each year by making home security tighter. Low-E glass, filled door panels and better weatherstripping make it harder for an intruder to break in through a home's doors.

Energy-efficient doors are safe. In homes where there are small children or pets, energy-efficient doors can be a home's safest option. Low-E glass and filled door panels prevent the glass from shattering into sharp shards that could injure a child or pet if they were to break through a home's door.

Full-Time Job Coordinator

Superior Home Improvement and Wes-Kan Siding, Windows & Doors is looking for a full-time Job Coordinator to join our team (40 hours a week). Our last team member is moving to a new city. We are excited for his new endeavors; however, we must replace his position.

As the Job Coordinator your principal responsibilities will be setting up new contracts as jobs, creating estimates, ordering & receiving materials, and scheduling jobs (talking to homeowners and contractors to set up times). You will also assist in answering phones, assisting Wes- Kan Customers, and other tasks in the office as needed. In this position you will be required to manage your time and keep track of multiple tasks at once. It is important to find your rhythm and find a way to balance out your responsibilities while allowing for adjustments to happen.

You will need to make sure you’re good with organizing inventory and taking inventory counts to make sure materials for jobs are set aside and ready for when an installer comes to pick those jobs up. You will also need to know when materials are going to be received. You will receive jobs from the book keeper after they’ve gotten the information they need from it. When jobs are done you will need to talk to the book keeper and give them the job folder once the job has been completed to be invoiced.

This position is a mixture of:
-Working closely with everyone in the office to do several of your job responsibilities.
-You will need to be in contact with the salesmen in regards to information on jobs, keeping the salesmen updated on the status of the jobs, and also seeing if any adjustments need to be made for jobs.
-Working with customers who walk into our business
-Answering phones as needed.
-Organizing contractors (emails, phone calls, etc.)
-You will need to talk to your installers and know their schedules, progress on jobs, making sure they show up when they are supposed to show up to an appointment, and making sure they have all the materials and information they need to accomplish the job without any problems.

This job involves functioning as the warehouse manager, which includes keeping the warehouse clean, doing inventory counts, and making sure materials for jobs are set aside and ready for when an installer comes to pick those jobs up.

We are happy to train the right person; however, experience with siding, windows, doors, garage doors, other home improvement areas, and customer service is a plus. We would also prefer a bilingual employee. We are looking for someone who is invested in Southwest Kansas, and plans to be in the area for quite some time.

This position requires someone who is:

-Friendly and outgoing
-Reliable and accountable
-Organized with an eye for detail
-Interested in home improvement and even construction
-Able to lift 50lbs or more without assistance

This job is full time and begins at $16 per hour. It is located in Dodge City, Kansas. Individuals who are interested in commuting are welcome to apply, but the job is not remote in any way. So those who apply should expect to come to our office for work. Our hours are Monday-Friday 8 a.m.-5 p.m., and you get lunch off from `12 p.m.-1 p.m. We pride ourselves on being a company that values family. We believe our employees are our family, and we do not mind giving time off to attend family events, like games and birthday parties.
