Summertime and the Living is Easy...

Keith Towles
Local businesses and year round residents can certainly relate to that old song! After the hustle and bustle of snowbird and tourist season, it really is nice to be able to slow down a little. Now is a good time to check your home for the little maintenance items that left unattended could turn into big problems.
Here are three areas that should be inspected to keep your home in tiptop shape:

Air Conditioning - when was the last time you had your HVAC system checked? How old is it? Is it not cooling as well as it should? Give your HVAC company a call for a Summer checkup. If you don't know a reputable company, call Thompson's Air Conditioning at 941-624-6000. We've been using their service for years and they're excellent!

Doors and Windows - are they sealed tight? Caulking or replacing weather striping is a fairly easy job that most homeowners can do themselves. Even though it's a small job it can save you money on your A/C and heating bills. Or have you been thinking about changing out your doors and windows for Hurricane rated units? Give Active Door and Windows a call and they'll help you decide if replacing with impact resistant windows is best  or perhaps shutters, storm panels or other hurricane protection products would be best for your home. They're in Punta Gorda and can be reached at 941-637-8883.

Roof Condition - not all roof leaks funnel down to your interior ceilings right away. Having your roof inspected periodically can assess small problems before they become major. It will save you a lot of heartache and money. With the rainy season upon us, you'll want to make sure your roof is in perfect condition. For tile or concrete tile roofs call Dr. Goodroof at 941-639-1653.

Keep cool, safe and dry!

Anatomy of a Million Dollar Home

Lighting

What really can set a home or business apart from others is how the exterior and interior are illuminated. So often we think of lighting as just an item that is inherent in every building. But, actually proper lighting can accent an area, provide task lighting, improve colors and add ambiance to any space. It truly is an art to perfectly illuminate a home or business.

The lighting "artist" that works with our clients is Jacki Johnson of  JCM Lighting & Design.  A 2001 graduate of Charlotte High School, Jacki had worked in many facets of the industry before starting her own business. One of the first projects locally was the Laishley Crab House. Since then she's been busy with commercial and residential projects all over the US and we feel very fortunate to have her work with our homeowners as well as our commercial clients.

Our featured project may not be a million dollar home, but we think the new Havana Tranquility Fine Cigars  
and VIP Club is a great example of 
 lighting at it's finest.  Located at 25139 Marion Ave in Punta Gorda, TowlesCorp completely remodeled this older building to create an old world ambiance in which to experience fine cigar culture.

Jacki and her team at JCM Lighting & Design worked their magic by back lighting the custom cigar storage shelves with color changing LED lights.

The walk-in humidor also has specialty lighting while the Lounge is lit with hand made tortoise shell glass ceiling fixtures all offered by Fusion Energy Solutions. Each room has lighting selections chosen for the area's specific purpose. The large scale pendants in the bar coordinate with the ceiling fixtures in other locations.


Kudos also go to Lori Irons of
          Home Showcase Interiors
for her beautiful choices for the interior decor. Many of the lighting ideas used in this remodel could also be used in a home with careful attention to scale and ambiance desired.
