LeTip Chester County East met on Tuesday, July 15, 2014. We were please to welcome a guest representing the category of Interior Design.

Our showboater was Dave Kozak, our Property and Casualty Insurance agent. He displayed several posters showing people who had been helped by their insurance agent after various kinds of injurious and difficult events. Dave encouraged us to have an insurance agent who would be personally involved in the coverage we purchase but also in any claims we might need to file. Sometimes insurance can be found at a cheaper rate, but this is typically accompanied by a huge decrease in personal communication. If you lack this personal involvement from an agent, contact Dave and his team (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.).

Our speaker was Frank Grube, our home remodeling specialist from ClearView Home Solutions (www.clearviewhomesolutions.com). Frank talked a bit about his history in sales with a high pressure, hard sell, high priced company. He didn't agree with their principles and practices, so he started his own family-owned business with great products and great service. ClearView replaces windows, but they can also change the look of a room in the process. Frank relayed the story of a customer who had a single small window in a dark room. ClearView replaced that window with a larger, three-panel slider window, and it added more light and totally changed the feel of the room. ClearView offers windows, siding, and doors that are built for energy efficiency. Frank mentioned that burglars can check how many panes are in a window, and they will be deterred by a triple-paned window. Argon gas between the window panes reduces heat loss in the winter. ClearView's windows also feature a low-E coating that reduces solar heat gain in the warmer weather. Contact Frank to discuss your needs and hear about your options.
