Tips for Renovation Financing
The windows turned out beautifully. Such an improvement over my dated single panel ones!
We looked into working with several companies and we are thrilled with our decision to work with Energy Shield for the sliding door for our yoga room! They provided excellent customer service, reasonable costs, and communication every step of the way from sales to customer support/scheduling to install. All of their service and install teams were responsive and highly professional. The install team prepped the room to ensure dust did not get everywhere. They left everything very neat and clean! We didn’t have to clean up the room after all the work they did to one wall. We LOVE the suggestions the sales rep made for our desire to convert a small room into a place of zen by installing a huge sliding door to allow plenty of fresh air and sunlight in. We highly recommend Energy Shield if you are looking to make a big difference with just that perfect door to the outdoors!
Very pleased. Salesman was great to deal with, the installers were great, no damage to property and left the job site clean. Very happy with the look of the new windows
Energy shield just installed a patio door for us. It’s one of the best doors we’ve had. Made very well it opens and closes so smooth. The installers were friendly and professional and cleaned up after they were done. I would highly recommend energy shield for windows or doors. Thank you to all of you.
From the beginning, the sales visit, the estimate, contract and installation, I could not be more pleased with Energy Shield and all the windows that they replaced. The crew were excellent, professional and diligent in removing the old windows and rather quickly replacing with the new ones (especially so because the outside temps were over 100°). And the huge window wall the crew installed with sliding doors is exceptional. It is a dramatic presence that amazes everyone who has seen it. The finish work, stucco and drywall repair and clean-up were also excellent and efficient. Energy Shield Windows and Doors is truly top-notch and a company that I proudly will recommend.
We recently had large 4-panel sliding doors installed and were very happy with the product, installation and service! This company has their own contractors who did a very thorough and professional job from beginning to finish on our project. Would highly recommend!
Great customer service, 1-day installation, very courteous, cleaned up everything well, and overall no complaints!
Great experience start to finish from Mike, Yael, and Jorge. My installation was great. They were clean, as can be, and so professional. It’s like I have a new house. The windows are beautiful and it’s so quiet now. Thank you!!
If you buy windows from anyone else in the valley shame on you . Quality product , service, price, and the warranty. Can’t be more satisfied and will recommend to others. Don’t fall for the overpriced company outside the local hardware store.
We replaced two of our sliding glass doors recently with the ES vinyl door. We were very pleased with the quality and smooth operation of the doors. The techs were very courteous, professional, clean and prompt. 5 stars to the team at Energy Shield.
All phases of the process were easy and great! The initial consultation, the install, and the price were all top notch. Would not hesitate to recommend.
Energy Shield provided excellent advice and installation of our windows. From the sales rep to the installers we were very impressed. Nice job team.
We used Energy Shield a couple of years ago to replace all of our windows. We were very happy with the quality, price and workmanship of them. We just used them again on a patio door and they did a fantastic job once again. Highly recommend this company for windows or doors.
We chose Energy Shield for several reasons…. They make the windows custom to what you want… Our prior windows had transoms which we wanted to get rid of and secondly we have a small guest bath window that no other company could make and they made one…. Installers were great…. Fast, efficient and knowledgeable ….. after installation there were 3 windows with a scratch in them. They were out the next day to replace the windows… awesome customer service as well… highly recommend them…..
Great work, great price and the windows look beautiful. Home is now cooler with energy efficient windows from Energy Shield, an Arizona company. The price was much less than the other big national companies and the warranty is just as good or better than some. We highly recommend Energy Shield.
I am extremely satisfied with my experience with Energy Shield. We had 16 windows and a patio door replaced and the entire project went smoothly. From meeting with Robert the sales rep to installation, the Energy Shield personnel were professional and efficient. Our job required cutting away the stucco, removing the old windows and door, installing the new products, and re-stuccoing. The installation guys were conscientious and neat, cleaning up as they went along. The windows look great and the stucco job was perfect. I have no qualms in strongly recommending Energy Shield. BTW, we met with 6 companies before choosing Energy Shield and after this experience, I will go straight to them if I ever have new needs for windows.
5 years ago EnergyShield replaced all of my windows and they still look so beautiful! Today I had them replace 2 patio doors. Jake and Max did an awesome job- I love my new doors, and I love this company. I couldn’t be happier with their work!
From the estimate thru the installation. It was a wonderful experience! Our estimator(Jeff) was friendly, straight forward, answered all our questions and gave us our estimate. The installation went perfect! The main installer Julio and his coworker were awesome. We kept feeding them water on a very hot morning and were very appreciative! They were on time, courteous, answered our questions and very mindful of our property. The process of removing our two old jealousy windows was a bit of a challenge but they did it with ease. The window installation went very smooth, had to adapt the new window moldings, caulked and then the guys cleaned up, like they were never there. Took the old windows and trim. We thanked them very much and they were off to the next job! See Old and new windows in picts. Very, Very happy with Energy Shield Window & Door Company and their wonderful staff!
The company and their employees are amazing. We’re in contact every step of the way. The men who installed my windows were very professional. They were perfectionists in their work; friendly, polite and respectful. Would recommend Energy Shield highly.
We have worked with Energy Shield twice now and have been very happy with their work. We previously had windows replaced by another company that installed Energy Shield windows, and they quoted us prices much higher than when we worked with Energy Shield directly. Energy Shield’s installation quality is also much higher in our experience. The interior trim on our windows installed by the other company looks sloppy and is failing in places after only a few years. The attention to detail by Energy Shield’s installers is great, and the installation on all our windows looks clean and professional. We would highly recommend Energy Shield to anyone looking for high quality and a good value.
Amazing windows, all 12 windows installed in 1 day. They were clean and fast and did great job. Definitely can tell a difference right away with the reduction of heat coming in, and the house is much cooler especially in the rooms on the south side of house.
Our home is cooler in the AZ desert with their Low-E replacement windows, A/C runs less, cost reasonable, and excellent installer crew. Recommended!
The entire process was easy. They do not do high pressure sales and have very competitive prices. Each person who came to our home was respectful, friendly and knowledgeable. Installation was so fast! We are very pleased with our new windows!! House already feels cooler and quieter. Highly recommend this company!!
The windows, patio door and workmanship were excellent. Great care to detail. Very happy with our new windows and door.
The windows are beautiful. I almost hate to have them covered with shutters!! The team did a fabulous job. They were efficient, conscientious and cleaned up the work areas. Bravo all around.
The Energy Shield crew showed up on time and began installing with out a hitch. They covered the floors inside and picked up all their trash before they left. I walked with Ramon the job Forman and identified locks that’s needed adjustment and this was taken care of immediately. They cleaned the window tracks so every window glided and moved with literally one finger. They cleaned the glass and left the windows looking new. I would not hesitate to recommend Energy Shield. I am one satisfied customer!!!
Expedient service, windows are beautiful and no painting or stucco work needed. The installers were very helpful.
New 14 foot slider and a picture window installed in one day . This Required demolition and rebuild. Next day – repair of stucco and sheet rock finished and ready for paint. Exemplary work. A few minor tweaks needed, not surprising in a multi-faceted job. These were addressed fully and satisfactorily in less than 4 days from original build out. Would hire again!
Great company to work with. We replaced all the windows in our home. From a sales to installation and overall quality and price… we could not be happier with our choice to use Energy Shield
Energy Shield installed new windows and did quality work. All the representatives provided great customer service.
Best customer service we have ever experienced. They are always there to answer the phone and genuinely care about the customer. We recommend them to everyone replacing windows.
Replaced all of the windows in the house. We had two different crews doing the work. I can’t say enough about the completed job. The windows look great and the stucco job looks great too. I think all of them did a 5 star job!
The window installers were very impressive in their workmanship. The company did everything that they said they would. In fact went above and beyond in taking care of my project.
We had Energy Shield replace the doors from the house to the garage and from the garage to the side yard. The process was seemless. They measured twice, stayed in regular contact, and we’re extremely professional. The doors were high quality and beautifully framed. We are thrilled with the finished result and wowed by the experience.
Ismael and his crew are doing the entire apartment complex I live in. They came through today and were efficient and polite. They did a great job and my sliding doors look great.
Completely satisfied with Energy Shield from start to finish. Mike, my sales person was great. Knowledgeable, friendly, very responsive to phone calls and inquiries and no pressure. Price was right, product is good. Big decision factor for me is that Energy Shield manufactures their own windows here in AZ. No middleman to deal with if things go wrong. Installers Luis and Isreal, were prompt and completed the job in one day as promised. They were efficient, careful of my home as they worked and left everything clean and in order. Highly recommend Energy Shield.
We had a wonderful experience with our window install. Julio did an incredible job installing all the windows and caulking looks perfect. He cleaned up all of his mess and I’m extremely satisfied.
Amazing work; amazing prices; amazing results. I gut 6 quotes – Energy Shield is the best !
Two crews and two days to compete our 20 window replacement. They were professional, well trained and courteous. Did a great job and I highly recommend Energy Shield. They even removed glass blocks in guest bathroom and replaced with a “rain glass” window to prevent the enormous heat loss. This included the stucco and dry wall repair. Looks great.
Energy Shield replaced our patio glass sliding door with french doors. Quick & efficient from start to finish including clean up. Highly recommend Energy Shield.
We had the best experience with Energy Shield! They were very professional and made the whole process easy for us from beginning to finish. Their install techs were polite, friendly, and very professional. Install day was so quick and easy and no stress or mess. The windows and doors that they installed are great quality and I’m so happy we chose this company. I highly recommend Energy Shield!
Energy Shield makes their own windows no middleman. That’s how they are able to offer quality windows at a fair price. Everyone we dealt with in the company was professional and friendly down to the installers. We initially sought Home Depot. Their price was a lot higher for equal or less quality windows. If you’re considering replacing your windows try Energy Shield.
What Types of Home Improvement Financing are Available?
When it comes to home improvement, financing options can provide you with the means to upgrade or repair your home without breaking the bank. Here are some types of home improvement financing that are available to homeowners:
1. Home Equity Loan: A home equity loan allows homeowners to borrow against the equity they have built up in their homes. These loans typically have fixed interest rates and repayment terms, making them a popular choice for larger home improvement projects.
2. Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC): Similar to a home equity loan, a HELOC also allows homeowners to borrow against the equity in their homes. However, a HELOC works more like a credit card, where homeowners can borrow and repay as they need, up to a certain credit limit.
3. Personal Loans: Personal loans are unsecured loans that can be used for various purposes, including home improvement. These loans typically have fixed interest rates and shorter repayment terms compared to home equity loans.
4. Cash-out Refinance: With a cash-out refinance, homeowners refinance their existing mortgage for a higher amount than what they currently owe. The difference between the new loan amount and the existing mortgage is then given to the homeowner as cash, which can be used for home improvement.
5. Credit Cards: While credit cards may not be the most ideal option due to their typically higher interest rates, they can be used for smaller home improvement projects or for purchasing materials and supplies.
6. Government Loans: Various government loan programs, such as the FederalHousing Administration (FHA) Title I Property Improvement Loan Program or the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Home Improvement Loan, offer financing options specifically designed for home improvement projects. These loans often have favorable terms and lower interest rates, making them a great choice for eligible homeowners.
How to Choose the Right Financing Option for Home Improvement
With so many financing options available, it can be overwhelming to choose the right one for your specific needs. Here are some factors to consider when selecting a home improvement financing option:
1. Interest rates: Compare the interest rates offered by different lenders or loan programs. Lower interest rates can save you money in the long run.
2. Repayment terms: Consider the repayment terms and monthly payments. Longer repayment terms may result in lower monthly payments, but you may end up paying more in interest over time.
3. Loan amount: Determine how much you need to borrow for your home improvement project. Some financing options may have minimum or maximum loan amounts.
4. Eligibility requirements: Review the eligibility requirements for each financing option. Some loans may have specific criteria, such as a minimum credit score or a certain amount of equity in your home.
5. Flexibility: Consider how flexible the financing option is. For example, a home equity line of credit allows you to borrow and repay as needed, giving you more control over your finances.
6. Additional fees and costs: Take into account any additional fees or costs associated with the financing option, such as closing costs or origination fees. These can add to the overall cost of your project.
7. Timeframe: Consider how quickly you need the funds for your home improvement project. Some financing options may have longer processing times than others.
8. Customer reviews and reputation: Research the lender or loan program to ensure they have a good reputation and positive customer reviews. This can give you peace of mind and confidence in your choice.
