Charles Ingman, Van Wert
We started with a drawing of what we wanted the porch to look like, and John Rager worked with us on every detail to make it happen. The excellent craftsmanship is evident throughout the entire project. We have received many compliments that should really be sent to John and his crew.
Ken & Marie Markward, Van Wert
Love the new look of our house and new pavilion! Everyone loves the pavilion and so do we. It exceeded our expectations. Thanks John and crew.
Duane & Beverly Fuerst, Van Wert
We are very happy we had John Rager and his crew build our new deck using Genovations materials. We are thrilled with the quality and the overall appearance, and we appreciated all the great suggestions from John. In addition to this, John's crew installed new Pella window sashes, and did a great job with this as well. John also does a great job of communication by email and responding promptly as well...so much better than playing telephone tag! We highly recommend Rager Home Improvement, Inc for your home improvement projects!

We are very pleased with our Simonton windows, Masonite entry doors, & Larson storm doors. We have received numerous compliments for the "new look" concerning our home. The house is much quieter and warmer. We would highly recommend Rager Home Improvement, Inc to anyone. Their caliber of work cannot be equaled in the Van Wert area! We are also very pleased with the new vinyl overhang, seamless aluminum gutters, and downspouts installed this year.

FAQ
Find answers for frequently asked questions:
Are all vinyl replacement windows created equal?
Just as there are many different makes of cars and trucks, so there are many different brands of windows. Rager Home Improvement, Inc uses well-recognized window names such as Simonton to insure quality and factory warranties.
Are the windows difficult to clean?
No more ladders! All of the double hung units tilt in to clean for safe and easy cleaning. Even the casement window can be cleaned on both sides from the convenience of the interior of your home.
What about security?
Double or triple pane glass is a great deterrent to any criminal. There are also security locks which will allow the window to be opened a few inches for ventilation while you are away or asleep.
Some of my woodwork is painted and some is stained, can they be matched?
We have a wide selection of colors and wood-like stain finishes on the windows. No more painting or staining ever needed!
What does Low-E/Argon gas do for the performance of a window?
This specially treated glass has several functions. First, it reflects heat. In the winter time it helps to reflect the needed heat back into the room and in the summer it helps to reflect heat away from the window. Your house can be warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer! In addition, the Low-E glass also helps reduce the harmful affects of the sun's rays which can fade carpets, furniture, and curtains. Argon gas makes the "dead air" space between the panes of glass more dense. This increases the high performance of the insulated glass.
What about warranties?
All of our well-recognized products come with either lifetime or pro-rated guarantees. Whether it is Simonton, Mastic, or Masonite, you are dealing with companies that stand behind their products. Rager Home Improvement, Inc will also be there to help with any questions.
What about labor warranties?
Any labor related problems with any of our products are guaranteed for a full 5 years! Plus, the warranty of the products themselves is another reason why Rager Home Improvement, Inc has been serving the Van Wert area for over 60 years. We have always and will continue to service our customers.
Why choose vinyl siding over metal siding?
Vinyl will not dent, scratch, or peel as metal siding can. It will help keep your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer!
Does the original siding have to be removed before new siding is installed?
Normally not. We use Dow foam board insulation over the existing siding to help prepare the walls for the new siding. This insulation board helps to plumb the walls as well as add extra insulation value.
If I replace my old windows, will the interior & exterior be disrupted?
A great feature of our replacement window system...we use the same opening of the existing windows and custom order your new windows to fit without disturbing the interior walls and exterior siding or brick.
What about all of the old materials, clean up, and building permits?
Rager Home Improvement, Inc takes care of all of this at no extra charge!
