Replacing your old, drafty windows with high-quality replacement windows from Atlantic Craftsman Co offers the advantages of making your home more attractive and convenient while at the same time reducing your monthly heating and cooling costs.

Most homes built 10 or more years ago have “construction grade” windows that saved the builder some money, but offer little in the way of energy efficiency. By now they probably rattle in the wind, suffer from condensation during cold weather, and are difficult to open when the frame swells against the sash in the heat.

Call Atlantic Craftsman Co today to have all these issues solved with our reliable replacement windows.

Cut Home Energy Costs With New Windows

With energy costs rising every year, nobody can afford to waste money heating and cooling their home. One of the best solutions for saving money is installing energy-efficient windows from Atlantic Craftsman Co in your home. You could reduce your monthly energy bill by almost one-third!

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Energy Star Buildings Manual reports that “windows almost always represent the largest source of unwanted heat loss and heat gain in buildings.” The EPA estimates windows in the U.S. account for 30% of lost building heating and cooling energy.

Most windows installed in homes built more than 10 years ago are inefficient, often with just a single pane of glass and no insulating properties. No wonder your heating system runs all winter and your air conditioner struggles to keep you comfortable during the summer heat!

The most effective way to reduce home energy loss is by installing energy-efficient replacement windows from Atlantic Craftsman Co. Our energy-efficient windows are engineered with high R-Values to keep your home snug and reduce energy costs.

Each window is custom-fit to your home and is installed by our own skilled teams. Not only will you save money, but our windows are also attractive, maintenance-free, and come in a variety of styles.

Measuring Energy Efficiency

National standards have been established for rating the energy performance of replacement windows. These standards are tested and measured by the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC), an independent, non-profit organization that administers the only nationally accepted rating system for energy performance in windows, doors, and skylights. You’ll find an NFRC label on every window installed by Atlantic Craftsman Co.

The important factors to look for in the NFRC report are:

• U-value: measures how well a glass system prevents heat from escaping. The lower the U-value, the better the glass system
• Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC): measures how well a product blocks heat caused by sunlight
• Visible Transmittance (VT): measures how much light comes through a product.
• Air Leakage (AL) The lower the AL, the less air will pass through cracks in the window assembly
• Condensation Resistance (CR): measures the ability of a product to resist the formation of condensation on the interior surface of that product

Let Atlantic Craftsman Co experts in windows help you select the style, size, and material that best meet your needs and budget and will deliver the best return on your window investment.

Water is the enemy. Rainwater or melting snow or ice that enters your home can cause serious and expensive damage. That’s why we build our roofing systems strong and complete the job with a quality gutter system.

The rain that falls on an Atlantic Craftsman Co roof is quickly repelled, keeping your home and family safe. But no Virginia roofing system is complete without a reliable gutter system to help carry the water away from your home.

Atlantic Craftsman Co designs, crafts, and installs seamless gutter systems that perform the important task of redirecting water. We make sure the gutters we install match the size and shape of the roof, providing sufficient capacity to handle any volume of water, from the lightest drizzle to the heaviest downpour.

Our seamless gutters won’t drip, crack, or leak, providing a continuous trough that captures and controls runoff from your roof. They are available in a wide variety of colors so that we can best match the style and décor of your home, and they come with their own guarantee of quality.

One important aspect that is often overlooked in a gutter system is the downspouts. Atlantic Craftsman Co makes certain that the downspouts we install are the right size and shape to handle the expected volume of water from the gutter troughs. This helps to prevent backups that force water under the roof’s edge and into your home.

Atlantic Craftsman Co also installs gutter protection systems that can help keep your home’s gutters clear of leaves, pine needles, twigs, and other debris that can clog and block the flow of water. With our effective gutter protection caps, you may never need to climb a ladder to clean your gutters again!

Do you have a chimney? Have you noticed issues with your flue? Is your chimney rusted on top? A chase cover or chimney cap is designed to prevent water from entering the inside of the chimney, and this chimney chase cover is typically made of less expensive sheet metal. 

Unfortunately, a rusted chimney cap or chase cover is more than just a cosmetic problem. This could be an indication of a much more serious issue. Atlantic Craftsman Co experts will come out, measure, and have a custom fabricated chase cover installed for you. All of our chase covers come with a 10-year installation guarantee.

Five Reasons to Have Your Chimney Caps Repaired or Replaced

• Reduce moisture and keep the rain out: Rain and moisture can cause mold and mildew, not to mention it can create damage to chimney mortar joints, chimney dampers, and stainless steel chimney liners. A chimney cap will keep the water from coming down into your liner and into your family’s home
• Keep the critters and animals out: Installing chimney caps will prevent animals such as birds, raccoons, or squirrels from entering your chimney. These animals tend to, in many cases, find their way into your chimney, but are not able to exit, and eventually die leaving unpleasant odors or even maggots. 
•  Eliminate down drafts: Chimney caps eliminate downdrafts, which can potentially cause hazardous smoke into your home if you are using a wood-burning fireplace due to shifts in the wind.
• Fire safety by stopping embers and sparks: Stop fly away embers from exiting your chimney and making contact with dry leaves, other debris, or your patio furniture, canopies, or landscaping which could be large fire hazards for your home with a chimney cap.
• Prevent debris and leave build-up; Debris, such as leaves, pine needles, branches, and other materials can fly into your chimney, get stuck with the sap on them, and start to build up within your chimney and cause a possible blockage that could lead to smoke inhalation into your home or even a fire hazard. Installing a chimney cap on your chimney will prevent this from happening to your home
