There's a Goldmine in Your Attic

Cold winters and hot summers in Indiana mean that homeowners need good attic insulation products to save money on their utility bills.

Do you have trouble keeping certain rooms in your home at a comfortable temperature? If you do, it is likely that a vast amount of energy used to heat and cool your home is escaping right over your head - and the main cause of this energy loss is inadequate insulation.



In fact, government reports show that 45 million homes in the United States lack the proper levels of insulation according to today’s energy standards.

The radiant barrier technology of our products is based on NASA space suit designs used to keep astronauts protected from the hot and cold extremes of space. Now, this same attic foil insulation technology is used to make your home more energy efficient.

Green Energy Barrier may be installed on top of your present insulation or stapled under your rafters or inside your crawl space. The installation of this reflective attic insulation takes less than a day to complete and will even make your current insulation, if you have any, more efficient.

Check out the radiant barrier insulation product we have been installing in homes throughout Central Indiana.

Retractable Awnings for Central Indiana

Its not too late to get that retractable awning for your back porch or patio. Here is a recent job we completed in Muncie for a customer. They needed some shade for their back patio, but didn't want to enclose the porch with a sunroom. A retractable awning was the answer for them.

Our manufacturer of retractable awnings is offering some season ending discounts on all of their products. They are discounting all fabric retractables awnings 6%. L.J. Stone, Inc. is matching that discount with an additional 6% discount for a total of 12% off all fabric awnings. The "Endless Summer" promotion runs until September 30, 2010.

Bathroom Remodeling for Indiana Homeowners

Bathroom Remodeling for Indiana Homeowners

Thought we would post up some pictures from a recent job L.J. Stone Company did for some Central Indiana homeowners.

The tub and tile walls in this home were original to the house. The tub was hard to clean and the finish was actually worn off in several spots making for an unsightly bathtub. The tile wall appearance was o.k. but a closer look showed some soft spots near the bottom. The customers wanted something easy to clean as well as good looking.

When we started prepping the job we noticed the wall was soft and after removing tile we discovered some pretty bad water damage behind the tile wall. This is more common than most people think. Tile walls allow water to seep into the grout lines and without periodic maintenance of the grout it will fall apart and allow water to damage the interior wall. We took care of the damage and installed a brand new acrylic tub over the existing bathtub and installed a new acrylic wall system in place of the old tile.

The job included new corner shelves and grab bars as well as replacing the old plumbing with a new single handle tub and shower unit.
