Packaged Home Solutions, Inc. Announces $283,000 Sale of Al-Vent Architectural Products' Hurricane Windows and Doors to School System in the Turks and Caicos
Company Anticipates Additional Major Sales in the Next 60 Days and Further Rapid Expansion in the Caribbean

CINCINNATI, OH and JACKSONVILLE, FL -- (MARKETWIRE) -- 06/21/07 -- Packaged Home Solutions, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: PKGH) www.packagedhomesolutions.com ("PHS" or "the Company") today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Al-Vent Architectural Products, Inc ("Al-Vent") has received a contract to furnish four schools on Providenciales Island (part of the Turks and Caicos Island Chain) with approximately 475 of its patented hurricane windows. This contract is for $283,000 in sales for Al-Vent at a gross margin rate of 45%.

Al-Vent's hurricane windows have been tested to withstand over a pressure rate of 94 pounds per square foot and wind speeds of 237 miles per hour. These standards exceed the strength needed to withstand wind and rain from a Category Five hurricane. For these reasons, the Al-Vent window is the only approved window for government buildings and schools in the Turks and Caicos.

It is anticipated that the windows to fulfill this contract will be manufactured in China through the manufacturing relationship established by Al-Vent in China, and will be delivered for installation within the next four to eight weeks.

Al-Vent is also expanding on North Turks Island, also part of the Turks and Caicos chain, with expected upcoming projects there involving a large public school, as well a privately developed condominium project consisting of over 200 Units. These two projects are expected to result in over $400,000 in gross sales with a gross margin rate of approximately 45%.

Al-Vent is expanding its distributorships into the Caribbean, with new distributor relationships expected in Puerto Rico, Costa Rica, and several other countries in the Caribbean by the end of the third quarter, 2007. Al-Vent is also working on increasing the resistance of its awning windows to 130 pounds per square foot of pressure, and thereby able to withstand wind speeds of 275 miles per hour, which would make it the only awning window available on the market today able to withstand this high amount of force and wind. As soon as this window has been tested, the Company will apply for testing and approval in Dade County, Florida, allowing it to sell the newly designed window in the greater Miami market.

Todd Medina, newly appointed CEO of Packaged Home Solutions, Inc., in describing the Turks and Caicos contract and Al-Vent's expansion stated: "We are pleased that with the rapid progress that Dan Smith, who is heading up the marketing for Al-Vent has made, since resigning his position as CEO of the Company so he could devote full time to the sales and marketing of the Al-Vent products. Al-Vent remains a vital part of our overall plan centered around installation services for large home improvement retailers; the expansion of our residential products and services through both internal expansion and acquisition such as the Homeworx acquisition we recently announced; the manufacturing and sale of proprietary and patented products like the Al-Vent hurricane windows and doors; and the joint venturing with institutional investors in the purchase, improvement and sale of undervalued homes in our market areas, such as our joint venture with the private real estate trust that we recently announced. Our senior management team and board of directors are focused on gross sales and immediate profits for the Company and the execution of our operating plan. I am pleasantly surprised by the achievements we have attained in a very short period of time, and the opportunities that are being presented to us."
