Take Control of Heat, Pests, Sunlight, and More with Easy-to-Manage Shades

When people think of motorized shades, they often think of adding roller shades to their media room, bathrooms and bedrooms. Motorized shades, however, are equally vital to outdoor environments—especially in homes dealing with the hot Florida weather. It’s easy to boast beautiful year-round weather in the Sunshine State, where the unofficial state motto is, “We live where you vacation.”

Realistically, due to a combination of heat, storms and bugs, Tampa locals avoid their outdoor spaces during many months of the year. Enjoying those outdoor spaces at any time isn't out of the question, though, if you add motorized shades. Below are some of the reasons we think this is a must-have addition for our Florida clients.

Find Out How a Professional Delivers Stellar Sound Anywhere

Do you want to add a spark to your patio, pool, backyard or veranda? Usually, the first thing people think of is integrating outdoor audio. Outdoor audio seems like an easy enough addition to your New Orleans, LA home, and what better way to liven up the day than with the right playlist? But placing a few speakers near the wall or resorting to portable Bluetooth speakers won’t do the trick.

If you’ve ever experienced bad outdoor sound—whether at a gathering or a restaurant’s live music night—you know how quickly it can ruin your day. Vibrant sound is much easier to accomplish indoors where there’s less noise interfering with the signal and four walls prepared to bolster it.

Not only does a DIY setup lead to poor, uneven sound quality, but it can result in damaged electronics too! This blog focuses on the most common outdoor audio complaints we hear and explains how a professional installer can address each.
