Tips For Protecting Your Home From The Summer Heat

 

The summer heat seems to be getting more and more extreme in Georgia and around the globe. This intense heat and sun can cause damage to your home. Being proactive in protecting your home can make a big difference.

Here are a few tips for protecting your home from the summer heat:

Caulk your windows and doors

Properly caulking your windows and doors can help prevent your cool air from escaping and the hot air from outside from coming in. 

Plant trees and tall shrubs

Direct sun exposure can cause damage to the exterior of your home over time. You can help to reduce sunlight exposure by planting shade-producing trees and shrubs around your house.

Use proper siding and roofing materials

Choosing siding materials with high UV resistance can help to protect your house. Lighter colors like tan or white help keep the exterior of your home cooler as well. You can also treat roofing materials with special sealants to increase UV resistance and lower heat retention.

Another 5-Star Review For Lang Restoration

 

Beautifully Restored Home

Lang Restoration and Construction – Tucker Georgia (Lang R&C)

After a devastating garage fire, my insurance company gave me a list of three companies to talk to about restoration and reconstruction of my home. After receiving a quick and professional telephone response from the Vice President of Lang Restoration I was invited over to their office and met with the management team. I was thoroughly impressed with these folks after an extensive and professional briefing on the company and what I could expect from them. After careful consideration, I selected Lang R&C to complete the project. I could not have been more pleased with the work that was done and the professionalism of all team members at Lang. A highly experienced project manager was assigned to my project who communicated with me on a daily basis. He did a great job of staying in communication with me, as well as scheduling work tasks and staying ahead of the subcontractors. I spoke frequently with the company Vice President and the Director of Operations. All of the management team promptly returned my phone calls and always treated me with courtesy and respect. Hats off especially to Jimmy, Andrew, Cole, and Kevin.  I am very satisfied with the final product – a beautifully restored home.

4 Spring Landscaping Ideas

 

Spring is a great time to start your landscaping. Creating vibrant, fun, and new landscaping can elevate your curb appeal, mood, and home value.

Here are 4 Spring landscaping ideas you may want to consider this year:

1. Plant A Tree

This may seem super simple, but trees can become a focal point for a yard. Be sure to choose a tree that adds dimension and charm to your current landscape. It should complement your landscaping in form of color, shape, and texture. If you are not a great gardener, try to choose a tree that is suitable for most climates and is easy to grow.

2. Plant Mosquito Repelling Plants

In addition to removing any standing water from your yard, planting the writing plants can also help keep mosquitos away. Marigolds, Citronella Grass, Catnip, Rosemary, and Basil are just some of the things you can plant to help keep mosquitos at bay.

3. Start A Flowering Vine

Flowering vines can add so much beauty to your yard and landscaping. Talk to an expert at your local nursery to determine which vine is the best fit for your yard and skill level.

4. Display Outdoor Decor & Artwork

When we think of decor and artwork, we often only think of the inside of our home. Don't limit your decor to the inside. Adding a few bright accent pieces outdoors can transform your outdoor spaces. Windchimes, furniture, hanging art, ornaments, and decorative pots are some items to consider. Be creative. The options are limitless.
