Florida Home Improvement Associates (FHA)

New homeowners in Florida should be aware of hurricane building codes such as the need for special impact doors and impact windows. Shopping for specific items that fit the codes and look good on your home can prove to be a frustrating experience, especially when shopping online. Florida Home Improvements Associates, or FHA, has products that both meet the codes and look great. One of the benefits of FHA is being able to shop for all your home improvement or remodeling needs in one place. 

Doors And Windows

Impact doors and impact windows have to be able to withstand wind’s amazing force as well as impact from debris during storms. FHA has windows and doors that fit the style of your home, meet hurricane codes and are energy efficient to boot. That means your home is protected during foul weather and saves money all year long in utility bills. Over time, that savings can pay for the items and their installation costs. 

Renovations

One of the most common renovations in new homes is a kitchen makeover. FHA has a complete line of products from the latest countertops, cabinets, flooring and more. If the existing cabinets are in good shape, homeowners can save money by electing to have cabinet resurfacing done instead. This is a fast and easy process that changes the kitchen’s appearance without the labor and expense of replacing everything. The kitchen can go from “old and tired” to “wow” very quickly, within budget and without a great deal of labor. 

Going Green

The hottest trend in energy efficiency is “going green.” That means using eco-friendly products that save energy, reduce utility bills and over time, pay for themselves. Three popular items are attic insulation, solar window film and solar hot water heaters. 

Attic insulation prevents the heat buildup from the sun from entering the home and forcing the HVAC system to work harder. FHA will install the R-Value needed for the area and ensure your attic has proper ventilation. This will reduce utility costs all year long. 

Solar window film reduces the heat gain from the sun while allowing you to have full view of the outside. Solar water heaters use little to no energy at all to provide your home with all the hot water you need.
