Light Up Your Home’s Value
What improvements or features add the most value to your Atlanta, GA, property? As any good realtor would tell you, updated kitchens and bathrooms are the highest on the list. The reasons for that are simple; they are the areas that involve the most expense to upgrade or renovate.
Do you know what’s next on the list? Perhaps unsurprisingly, it’s curb appeal. In this case, those renovations are often easier and less costly, like new paint, spruced-up landscaping, and a new front door. But we have another item that sometimes doesn’t get the attention it deserves for adding curb appeal – outdoor lighting. Here is where working with an outdoor lighting company can pay off, not only boosting your home’s outdoor aesthetics and the value of your property in the long run but also making your home safer and more enjoyable. See more below!

Trust a Professional for Your Smart Home Project
YouTube is chock full of resources for learning how to do almost any home project. From amateur plumbing to electrical to flooring, there's a video for it online. You might be tempted to say, "I'll do it myself" to avoid calling a professional when you need something done, but much will depend on the size of the project. Some people call a plumber at the first sign of a slight leak under a sink; others will get under there and figure out the problem. When it comes to smart home automation, some will install that new Nest thermostat; others will let their HVAC professional do it.
But suffice it to say that most people that might choose to DIY a minor repair or upgrade don't redo all the plumbing for a bathroom remodel or replace their heat pump if it fails. Surprisingly, many people think it's easy to fully automate a smart home because it just takes some electronics and software.
As with the projects we mentioned above, it’s one thing to install a Nest thermostat but quite another to embark on a full home automation project for your Atlanta, GA, home. So if you do hire a professional, what should you expect from a home automation company? Read further to learn more.
