U.S. HOME SYSTEMS AND RENEWAL BY ANDERSEN CORPORATION

AGREE TO TERMINATION OF RETAILER AGREEMENT

DALLAS, TX., NOV. 12, 2004 — U.S. Home Systems, Inc. (NasdaqNMS: USHS) today announced that, effective December 31, 2004, the Company and Renewal by Andersen Corporation have mutually agreed to terminate their 2001 retailer agreement. Under that agreement, the Company was the exclusive retailer of Renewal by Andersen® brand window and patio door products in the Los Angeles market. The agreement was scheduled to expire on December 31, 2006.

For the year ended December 31, 2003 and the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004, revenues from the sale and installation of Renewal by Andersen products accounted for approximately six percent or $4,611,000 and $4,213,000, respectively, of the Company’s home improvement revenues during each period.

Murray H. Gross, President and CEO of USHS, said that, “Although we have been satisfied with our relationship with Renewal by Andersen, we do not believe that the sale and installation of Renewal by Andersen window and patio doors in a single market is compatible with our current business and long-term growth strategy. Since October 2003, our home improvement operations have focused on an aggressive expansion of our operations with The Home Depot.”

Gross continued, “The Company’s current business strategy is to become a principal vendor of kitchen and bath refacing products and wood decks to The Home Depot stores in designated markets. For the remainder of 2004 and during 2005 we intend to concentrate our efforts and to allocate the Company’s personnel and capital resources to continue the expansion of the rollout of our wood decks and kitchen and bath refacing products and installation services in designated The Home Depot stores. By the end of 2005, we anticipate that our wood deck products and services will be available in approximately 485 The Home Depot stores and our kitchen and bath refacing products and installation services will be offered in approximately 395 stores. We believe that in 2005 the Company will achieve a sufficient increase in revenues through the expansion of its product distribution into new The Home Depot markets to offset the decreased revenues resulting from the termination of the Renewal by Andersen agreement,” concluded Gross.
