This past weekend, my family spent a pleasant afternoon with some good friends, eating great food, playing some games and enjoying one another’s company. As we sat on the deck soaking in the sun, someone pointed out a cracked pane on one of the windows. The conversation quickly turned to the Energy Tax Credit the federal government is offering as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. As we spoke, I realized that many are unfamiliar with the program and some may think that it is too late for them to take advantage of this program. My friends were surprised to learn that you can still get up to a $1500 tax credit on qualifying windows and doors installed by Craftsmen Home Improvements through December 31, 2010. Quality windows like Anderson, Marvin and Pella. Factory certified installers with years of experience who are committed to excellence. Award winning customer service in the Twin Cities Metro area from Angie’s List and Guild Quality. All this and so much more make Craftsmen Home Improvements a great choice as your Energy Tax Credit contractor.
