4 Emergency Planning Essentials

Emergency planning is extremely important but often overlooked. Being succifienctly prepared in the face of a disaster or emergency can truly make the difference between life and death.

Here are 4 Emergency Planning Essentials:

1. Emergency Phone Numbers

You should have both a written and digital copy of all essential emergency phone numbers, including fire, police, and EMS, as well as immediate family members. You may or may not have access to your mobile phone during an emergency so having a written back up is important. Commit as many of these phone numbers to memory as you can. Keeping a landline active is recommended as well.

2. Store Water & Food

During and after a disaster, you may have no external access to food or clean water. You should try to have at least 2 weeks to 30 days worth of food and water readily accessible for you and your family.

3. Prepare A Go-Bag

Every family member should have a Go-Bag ready. If you have to evacuate your home at a moments notice, your Go-Bag should have all your essentials and well as food and water. You may want to have copies of important documents in your Go-Bag too.

4. Escape Routes & Meeting Places

It is imperative that every family member knows an escape route from each room in your home. You should also have a designated meeting place where everyone will meet after an emergency.

The Dangers of Summer Storms To Your Home

The dangers of summer storms to your home are very real. The high winds, lightning, and heavy rains can wreak havoc on your property, especially if it is not well-maintained. Here are 3 potential dangers of summer storms to your house or business:

Heavy Rains & Flash Flooding

Metro Atlanta is no stranger to heavy rains and flash flooding. If your property is in low-lying areas or has foundation cracks, you may be at even greater risk for flooding. To help prevent flooding, be sure to clean and maintain gutters and downspouts, properly landscape your yard and immediately repair foundation cracks.

Lightning Strikes

Summer night skies in Metro Atlanta are often interrupted by lightning strikes. Many times, there is little to no warning. If your home is hit by lightning, it can cause all types of electrical problems and even ignite a fire. You may want to consider installing a whole-home surge protection system. Also, practice electrical safety by not overloading outlets and using surge protectors on all your appliances and electronics.

High Winds

High winds often accompany summer storms in Georgia. These high winds can cause both siding and roof damage. This is why it is so imperative that you keep your roof well maintained. If your roof does suffer storm damage, have it repaired right away. Small roof issues can quickly turn it to large, expensive ones.

Home Improvement Trends 2019

So what are the hot home improvement trends in 2019? Want to optimize your home for beauty, comfort, and functionality? Check out some of the latest home improvement trends below.

New Cabinetry

Your cabinets can be either an eyesore or an asset to your home. Many older homes may have outdated cabinets that don't match the updated furniture and decor of your home. Installing modern cabinetry can exponentially improve the overall look of your home. You may also benefit from increased storage space from making this upgrade. Be sure to choose high-grade cabinetry that will be both durable and eye-catching.

Vinyl Flooring

Hardwood floors are declining in popularity. Many homeowners are now choosing engineered wood, vinyl, and laminate. There are so many beautiful options that are durable and more cost effective. This trend will probably be around for a while as new styles flood the marketplace. Installing new vinyl floors will not only improve the look of your home but will likely increase its value too.

Indoor Swings

Indoor swings have become increasingly popular for a reason. Swinging is no longer just an outdoor activity. Stylish, comfy and fun indoor swings can create a magical and whimsical feel to almost any space in your home. From living rooms to kids bedrooms, swings can create a relaxing mini-retreat.

Lang Restoration Recent Customer Reviews

At Lang Restoration, we care about customer satisfaction. On every job, we focus on quality, durability, and value. Check out some recent customer reviews. 

"Having your entire home renovated can be a stressful process but Lang made it a very pleasant experience. As a business owner myself I always pay attention to the small details and make it a habit to over deliver and this is what Lang did. They paid close attention to the small details and consistently over delivered. Everyone at Lang was very nice/professional and the quality of work was exceptional. I can’t say enough about how they all went the extra mile. This includes the owner who personally came to my house to make sure things went smoothly, the Vice President that handled my estimate and paperwork, and especially my project manager that was the one that coordinated everything and made sure it was done right. My project manager caught issues before I even knew about then and just handled it. He was also accessible whether I had any issues or questions. I can't say enough good things about this company and their employees, their customer service, and the quality of work they provide. I'm very satisfied with the results and if I could give them more than 5 Stars I would. I highly recommend if you're having work done to your home to give Lang a try!!!"
