If you enjoy the long days and outdoor fun of summer, why not make the most of it? The best summer renovations to your Atlanta home can take your summer to another level. Explore the ideas here and get started on projects perfect for summertime enjoyment, like keeping your interior more comfortable in hot weather or creating a better space for hosting guests.

Give Your AC A Break With Heat-Blocking Window Treatments

As much as you appreciate the summer heat in Atlanta, you don’t want your home to get sweltering. That heat can put extra strain on your HVAC system. Give your air conditioner a break this summer by adding energy-smart window treatments. Window treatments that minimize harsh UV rays and outdoor heat help keep your home comfortably cool without putting unnecessary strain on your AC. 

Your top choices for this style of summer renovation in Atlanta are:

• Polywood® plantation shutters with their exclusive insulation system

• Practical “honeycomb” cellular shades that hold heat next to the window

• Motorized shades that close by themselves during the warmest part of the day

Install A Pool Or Poolside Shelter

There’s nothing more refreshing than jumping into a pool. If you have the resources for this popular summer renovation in Atlanta, add a pool for unrivaled relaxation and enjoyment. Your builder can walk you through various features to create a fantastic custom pool you’ll enjoy year after year. A pool also boosts your home’s value.

Do you already have a pool? Consider adding a poolside bar, pool house, or simply a freestanding awning for a poolside hangout. Container gardens, seating, and tables for drinks give your pool a resort vibe. 

Escape The Heat With Outdoor Shade

If you haven’t been taking advantage of your deck or patio on blistering hot days, install a shady awning this year. A retractable awning mounted on your house is the simplest solution. Using a hand crank or button, you can roll out your awning for instant relief on blazing hot days, making your outdoor space more enjoyable. 

If your patio or porch is already covered, but you still need extra shade or privacy, look into exterior screen shades. You can pull down these screens like large window shades to guard against bugs, sun glare, and debris. Your friends and family will love hanging out and playing outside without the sun in their faces.

Spruce Up Your Three-Season Room

Whereas many Atlanta families decorate their main living spaces, three-season rooms and sunrooms don’t always get the same treatment. These more relaxed rooms might become an afterthought, but you’ll love yours much more this summer when you make some simple upgrades. For starters, some comfortable furniture sets the tone for both entertaining and relaxing. Cozy it up with a rug and accent pillows, but don’t overdo the decorating. 

Three-season rooms and sunrooms are perfect for keeping a couple of houseplants. Finally, add some functional but trendy window treatments that open to give you a view outside but also close effortlessly to safeguard against sun glare and heat.
