ON HOME IMPROVEMENT
improvements they
wouldn’t otherwise be
able to afford.
Traditionally, getting a
new roof or replacing
old windows and
doors requires a hefty
payment before work
can even begin. But
through PACE, qualified
applicants can get a
new roof, new doors,
and new windows with
no money down. All
costs are rolled into one
ongoing payment, which
homeowners can choose
to pay either monthly
or once a year with their
taxes. All prospective
participants must have at
least 10% equity in their
home, but qualifying for
the program is not based
on income or credit
scores.
PRC’s director of
marketing, KyAlea
Monma explained, “It’s
great to be able to get
your roof, doors, and
windows all replaced
at the same time, by
a quality contractor
you can trust, and at a
payment you can afford.”
Upgrading your roof,
doors, and windows
does much more than
just enhance the look of
your home. Homeowners
can see significant
savings by making the
change. New materials
lead to increases in
both safety and energy
efficiency. Windows
are a major source of
lost energy, particularly
in Central Florida’s
climate. Upgrading from
traditional single-pane
windows to Energy Star
rated impact windows
could save homeowners
hundreds of dollars on
their utility bills.
Changing to impact
windows and doors, along
with a new roof, also helps
reduce homeowners’
insurance premiums. The
home is less likely to incur
damage during a storm,
and therefore coverage
may cost less.
