SPOTLIGHT: WINDOWS FOR LESS

Replacement windows deliver a surplus of benefits

BY LESLIE MASSEY  SPRINGSHOUSES.COM

Not only can new windows enhance the curb appeal of your home, but investing in replacement windows actually adds value to your home in a number of ways.

The U.S. Department of Energy says that reducing the amount of drafts and air leaks in your home is good for cutting heating and cooling costs, improving a home’s durability, increasing the comfort level inside your home, and creating a healthier living environment.

Going green is part of the energy conservation movement in the U.S. today, and over time the money saved in heating and cooling your home is impressive. Furthermore, when considering selling your home, newer more efficient windows are a distinct advantage over other comparable homes for sale.

Windows For Less Is a locally owned and operated company with locations throughout Colorado.

“We opened ten years ago in Canon City,” said Robert Washington, owner of Windows For Less. “We expanded into Pueblo, La Junta, Fountain, Colorado Springs and Denver.”

The steady growth of business for Windows for Less over the last ten years can be credited to high-quality service and offering the best prices around, when comparing apples-to-apples.

“We are able to offer one of the fastest turn-around times in the business,” Washington said. “From the initial consultation to measuring,

tearing out the old and installing the new windows, we can generally have the job done within two to three weeks.”

A more common turn-around time in the industry is six-weeks, according to Washington. “Three weeks, for us, is on the high side.”

Specializing in working with investment properties and new home buyers, Washington has developed solid working relationships with several real estate companies including Remax, Jones-Healy, Century 21 and many others.

“We have a wide-range of windows to fit every budget,” Washington said.

“From the very affordable to the top-of-the-line high end windows, we can accommodate what any homeowner needs.”

Windows For Less takes the necessary steps to provide their customers with personalized service, including local knowledge and experience, to make the windows purchase and installation as straightforward and simple for the buyer as possible.

“We offer a free consultation and estimate,” said Washington, “and all of our windows come with a lifetime warranty.”

As a local business, Windows For Less is invested in supporting the local economy and providing expertise on a personal level. Living and working in the community lets them be close to their customers and to be a good neighbor.

Light structural modifications and

remodeling are also part of the scope of work available through Windows For Less.

“We have the capacity to enlarge small windows, convert a large window to a patio door, create a bay window, and other similar adjustments,” said Washington.

A large portion of their business comes from property investors and “flippers” and as a result of the strong work relationships they have established in the community, Windows For Less has also opened a privately owned carpet cleaning business — Ram Steam.

“Several of our regular customers were searching for a dependable, quality carpet cleaner so as a result of a number of requests, we launched Ram Steam,” Washington said.

Thanks to decades of experience with window replacement, Windows For Less understands how cleaning can help protect your investment. Therefore they are committed to delivering the best carpet and floor cleaning service around. In addition, Ram Steam professionals are specialists in carpet repair and stretching.

Kicking off during Spring Break, Windows For Less is offering a Summer Special for a free patio door to every customer who purchases ten or more windows and Ram Steam has a wholehouse carpet cleaning package for half-price.

Mortgage rates fall; 30-year fixed at 3.75 percent, Freddie Mac says

BY E. SCOTT RECKARD  LOS ANGELES TIMES

Mortgage interest rates fell for the first time in four weeks, with Freddie Mac’s survey showing lenders offering conventional 30-year fixed-rate loans at an average of 3.75 percent, down from 3.8 percent a week ago.

The 15-year fixed-rate home loan, a way to build equity and pay off debt faster, was averaging 3.03 percent compared to 3.07 percent, according to the survey, released Thursday.

A downward revision of fourth-quarter economic growth figures and a decline in consumer prices contributed to the easing of rates, said Len Kiefer, the deputy chief economist at Freddie Mac. Rates for fixed 30-year loans have remained below 4 percent since late November, remarkably low by historical standards. They are now at levels last seen in May 2013, Freddie Mac said.

However, high prices and tight supplies in many housing markets have offset the benefits of cheap money for those who can qualify for loans.

Nationally, sales of previously owned homes fell in January to their lowest level in nine months and sales of new homes have plateaued.

In a more upbeat report, a trade group said Thursday that mortgage credit availability increased slightly in February.

A Mortgage Bankers Association index was at 118.6, compared with a baseline of 100 in March 2012, when lending standards were drum-tight.

The number rises when credit loosens.

The MBA’s chief economist, Michael Fratantoni, attributed the latest easing to increased availability of jumbo mortgages and of Fannie Mae-backed loans requiring down payments of only 3 percent.

Freddie Mac is to begin backing mortgages with just 3 percent down this month, Fratantoni noted.

Freddie Mac asks lenders each Monday through Wednesday about the terms they are offering on mortgages of up to $417,000 that can be backed by Freddie and Fannie, the finance giants that jointly guarantee about 60 percent of U.S. home loans.

The borrowers in Freddie Mac’s survey are assumed to have 20 percent down payments and to pay about half of 1 percent of the loan amount in upfront lender fees and discount points. Payments for such services as appraisals and title insurance are not included.

The survey provides a consistent gauge of mortgage trends, but actual rates adjust constantly and are influenced by many factors.

In addition to borrowers’ credit histories and debt loads, the factors include whether the borrowers opt for zero-cost loans at higher rates or pay extra to lenders initially to lower the rates. 

Let the sun shine in:

Cleaning windows, window treatments

BY LISA A. FLAM  THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

If you’re like some people (ahem) who put up window treatments and never give them a second thought, even as dust accumulates, this might just be the season to pay them a little respect.

No need to stress out about adding another task to your spring-cleaning todo list: You don’t have to clean curtains, shades and the windows themselves that often. And many times, it’s not that difficult.

“In our experience, the windows and window treatments are something that people avoid cleaning because they’re not entirely sure the best way to do it,” says Betsy Goldberg, home director of Real Simple magazine.

“It’s not hard,” she adds. “It just takes a little bit of time.”

If simply removing dirt isn’t reason enough to clean, consider that dust can dull the fabric of curtains and shades.

Household odors can linger. And washing helps preserve the fabric, especially for window treatments that get a daily dose of sunshine, says Tammy Kupernik of retailer Country Curtains.

“If you don’t wash them, the sun will break down the threads,” she says.

“Washing them keeps the colors bright, it keeps the threads soft and it does add to the life of the curtain.”

CURTAINS AND DRAPES Window treatments should be cleaned once or twice a year, experts say, and the best method varies by material.

Some can be refreshed in the washer or cleaned with a vacuum, while others may require a pro.

Start by reading the care tag or directions that came with the product: Some items are dry clean only. If the instructions are unavailable, experts offer general guidelines: Most curtains that are lined or made of silk likely require dry cleaning, Kupernik says.

Curtains that are not lined or insulated usually can be washed by machine, in a short, gentle cycle with cool water, she says. Those made of a poly-cotton blend can usually go in a medium-heat dryer, but 100 percent cotton curtains should

be line-dried to prevent shrinkage.

Curtains and roller shades that are insulated with a bonded layer that keeps out the cold can be machine washed in a short, gentle cycle in cool water and line dried, Kupernik says. If the insulated sides touch each other while drying, they can peel off and ruin the curtain.

Sheer and lace curtains should be washed by machine in a short, gentle cycle with cold water and line dried, Kupernik said, adding that both can be touched up with light ironing. Once sheers get in the high heat of a dryer, wrinkles become permanent, she said.

After curtains come down for cleaning, dust the rod before hanging them back up.

If you don’t want to take them down, Goldberg offers this method for cleaning unlined curtains made from lightweight, sheer or semi-sheer fabric: Close the windows and the curtains and spray the curtains with a wrinkle releaser/odor eliminator product. Use a handheld fabric steamer, working from bottom to top in 1-foot sections, holding the steamer nozzle about an inch from the fabric.

For drapes, which are generally made of heavier fabrics like brocade, suede or velvet and are often lined and pleated, vacuum each panel on a low setting with the brush attachment, holding the vacuum about an inch away from the fabric, Goldberg says.

Fabric curtains and shades, except silk ones, can usually be spot cleaned with warm water and a mild laundry detergent like Woolite, Kupernik says.

OTHER BLINDS AND SHADES Clean Roman shades with a vacuum or roller brush, Kupernik says. Vinyl shades can be cleaned as needed with a sponge.

Goldberg suggests vacuuming wood blinds and wiping each slat with a cloth dampened with a mix of water and a few drops of dish soap, wiping off excess moisture with a dry cloth. First, angle the slats down and wipe each one; then angle them up and repeat.

To clean the cord, pull the shade all the way up and run the damp cloth up and down it, followed by the dry cloth. If you

have a wand, follow the same steps with the cloth.

WINDOWS For window panes, if the glass gets dirty enough, you may want to clean them every few weeks. “Realistically, if people get around to it every few months, that’s fine,” Goldberg says.

Before cleaning, sweep dirt from the screen and window frame with a brush like the one that comes with your dustpan, or the vacuum with the dusting attachment. Spray glass cleaner or a mix of water and a squirt of dishwashing soap and wipe with a microfiber cloth, starting with the outside and then the inside the panes and moving in an “S’’

motion rather than back and forth to avoid redepositing dirt.

Goldberg suggests wiping in a horizontal motion on the inside, vertically on the outside so you can more easily find streaks and wipe those areas again.

Clean on a cloudy day because direct sun makes the glass cleaner dry too quickly and leaves streaks. 

4 secrets to budgeting for a home purchase

BY MICHELE LERNER  BANKRATE.COM

Living from one paycheck to the next may be the norm for many people. But homebuyers need a better strategy.

“If buying a home is your goal, then it needs to be your priority,” says Tim Kirchner, formerly vice president of MetLife Bank in Irving, Texas. “Most people need to sacrifice a little and stick to a budget in order to save for a home.”

A good budget plan begins one or two years before the buyer makes an offer.

Here are four tips for renters who plan to become homeowners.

BUILD STRONG CREDIT When it comes to securing a loan at the best mortgage rate, credit is king.

“The most important focus for all potential buyers should be improving their credit score,” says Jean Badciong, chief compliance officer of Inlanta Mortgage in Brookfield, Wis. “A low score can prevent someone from buying a home or at least from qualifying for an affordable mortgage rate.”

Greg Holmes is national director of sales and marketing for Credit Plus, a company in Salisbury, Md., that provides credit reports to mortgage lenders. He says potential buyers should request their free credit report at

AnnualCreditReport.com.

“Some people who think they have good credit don’t, while people who think their credit is bad may be surprised that it is actually OK,” Holmes says. “Everyone should check their report for accuracy and fix any mistakes. It can take months to correct errors.”

To improve their credit scores, buyers should pay off past-due bills, pay every bill on time and reduce their balances to less than 30 percent of the credit limit on every account, Holmes says. Also, it is best to have three to five credit accounts, such as a car loan, student loan or credit card, for one year or longer.

Holmes recommends against frequently switching credit cards to get the best rate, though.

“Lenders do not want to see a lot of credit inquiries or too many new accounts because this could indicate someone who is about to take on a lot of extra debt,” Holmes says.

Kirchner says people often do not realize the consequences of paying bills late or missing a payment, which can stay on your credit report for a long time.

SECRETS TO BUDGETING: CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5

Some young people assume they can improve their credit scores as an authorized user on a parent’s card. But Badciong says this will have no impact on their score.

“Every consumer should establish three lines of credit such as an installment loan and a credit card or two, keeping the balance low and paying them on time, in order to generate a strong credit report,” says Christine Howard, formerly a senior loan officer with Inlanta Mortgage.

Howard urges future homebuyers to make “virtual” mortgage payments today as a way to build up savings and learn to budget for actual mortgage payments down the road.

“Renters can estimate a mortgage payment and set aside the difference between that payment and their rent each month,” Howard says. “If they are paying $800 in rent and estimate their mortgage will be $1,100, they can put $300 per month in a special savings account. Not only does this help them save for a down payment, but it demonstrates to a lender their ability to afford that higher housing payment.”

DEMONSTRATE ABILITY TO SAVE Kirchner recommends future buyers create a simple budget and set a savings goal.

“If they find they can save $300 a month, then they will have $3,600 at the end of the year,” Kirchner says. “Lenders want to see that pattern of savings, and buyers will need at least 3.5 percent for a down payment on an FHA loan or at least 10 percent for a conventional loan.”

Kirchner recommends setting up an automatic transfer of funds into savings through your employer or your bank. For guidance, try Bankrate.com’s savings goal calculator.

REDUCE DEBT While buyers increase their savings, they should also reduce their debt.

“Paying off debt tops saving in terms of priorities because of the interest payments on the debt, which exceeds the amount of interest they can earn on their savings,” Kirchner says.

“Lenders want to see that you are managing your debt and keeping your credit card balances low.”

Which debts should you pay off first? Try Bankrate’s debt pay-down calculator.

Howard says debt-to-income ratios are an important element in a loan approval. This ratio compares minimum monthly payments on all debt to gross monthly income.

“If your debt-to-income ratio is over 50 percent, you need to pay off your debt before even thinking of buying a home,” Howard says.

“Some companies will relax their standards for borrowers with a strong credit score or substantial cash reserves, but in general, FHA will only go up to 43 percent and conventional lenders will only go to 41 percent for the overall debt-to-income ratio.”

GET EDUCATED While it might be premature to visit a lender two years before a home purchase, it can be valuable for consumers to know if they qualify for a mortgage, Kirchner says. He also recommends visiting open houses.

“A lot of people have no idea what $100,000 or $200,000 will buy, so the more they look at places and neighborhoods, the better understanding they will have of the value in a home,” Kirchner says. 
