Spring Fever - Top 6 signs you have it

By definition, Spring fever is a restlessness or excitement brought on by the promise of longer days, warmer weather and nature's rebirth. In the contracting business though, it's really about a renewal of people's interest in starting building projects. Here's a fun list of signs of Spring Fever that mean our phones will be ringing more:
1. It's still light enough when you get home from work to do something outside.
2. Spring cleaning reminds you of all the projects that have been ignored around the house.
3. Looking at your backyard from the landscaping beds you're cleaning out reminds you that your outdoor living space could use a pick-me-up.
4. When you're barbequing or eating outside for the first few times of the season, you realize how great it would be to have an outdoor room.
5. Your neighbors wave to you while they are relaxing in front of their outdoor fireplace roasting smores on a cool evening.
6. You went to the home show and got so many ideas you don't know where to start.

Don't ignore the signs! Call Heartlands now and set up an appointment for an estimate so you can maximize the time you will get to use your outdoor living space this year!

Home Show Special on Retractable Screen Doors

Although for the first time in ten years, we will not be exhibiting at the St. Louis HBA Home and Garden Show this weekend, we are still offering a discount on our retractable screen doors.   You can see the doors displayed in our showroom Monday through Friday between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm. Heartlands installs the Clearview brand of retractable screens. They feature extruded aluminum parts and come standard with a back plate (necessary for sliding door installations), hidden magnets inside the pull bar on French door applications, and most importantly, the built-in mechanical speed reducer. If you’ve ever experienced the “slam” when you accidently let go of the handle when operating a retractable screen door, you know what the “slam” is.

How much does a retractable screen door cost?

For a standard height single retractable screen door, our installed price is $450. The installed price on a set of standard height retractable screen doors for French doors is $800. There is a $40 up charge to get (pet resistant) super screen or solar screen and for taller doors, but there are no “special” installation up charge surprises. Yes, this price is higher than our competitors, but you have to consider you are not comparing equal products. The Clearview retractable screen doors come standard with a back plate (necessary for sliding door installations), hidden magnets inside the pull bar on French door applications, and most importantly, the built-in mechanical speed reducer.
