Make The Most Of Longer Days With These Summer Renovations In Phoenix

If you love the long days and fun in the sun of summer, why not take full advantage of it? The right summer renovations to your Phoenix home can make this your best summer ever. Browse the ideas below and get started on projects perfect for summertime enjoyment, like making entertaining easier or keeping your home cooler in steamy weather.

Ease The Demand On Your AC With Energy-Smart Window Treatments

As much as you love the summer warmth in Phoenix, you don’t want your interior to get too steamy. The higher temps can push your HVAC system to its limits. Take some pressure off your air conditioner this summer by installing heat-blocking window treatments. Window treatments that minimize UV rays and outside temperature transfer help keep your home cool without putting too much burden on your AC. 

Your best choices for this kind of summer renovation in Phoenix are:

• Polywood® plantation shutters with their unsurpassed insulating capabilities

• Structured “honeycomb” cellular shades that trap heat next to the window

• Motorized shades that close on their own during the hottest part of the day

Add A Pool Or Poolside Retreat

Nothing cools you down like jumping into a pool. If you have the budget for this popular summer renovation in Phoenix, put in a pool for unrivaled outdoor enjoyment. Your contractor can show you different features to create an incredible custom pool you’ll appreciate for years. A pool also increases your property value.

Do you already have a pool? Think about adding a pool house, poolside bar, or just a shade structure for a poolside lounge area. Container gardens, lounge chairs, and tables for drinks make your pool feel like a vacation getaway. 

Stay Cool With Outdoor Shade

If you’ve been staying away from your deck or patio on scorching hot days, add a shady awning for the summer. A retractable awning mounted on your house is the easiest solution. Using a hand crank or electrical switch, you can unfurl your awning for immediate relief on bright, sunny days, making your exterior space more comfortable. 

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

Upgrade Your Three-Season Room

Although many Phoenix families decorate their main living spaces, sunrooms and three-season rooms don’t always enjoy the same care. These spaces might become an afterthought, but you’ll love yours much more this summer when you give it an upgrade. To start, some comfy furniture sets the stage for both entertaining and relaxing. Add your own style with a rug and accent pillows, but don’t overdo the design. 

Three-season rooms and sunrooms are ideal for keeping a couple of houseplants. To top it off, install some versatile but stylish window treatments that open to give you a view but also shut easily to guard against sun glare and heat.
