Northwest Georgia summers can turn your garage into one of the hottest spaces in your home — especially if you have an attached garage or a bonus room above it. Many homeowners don’t realize how much heat enters through the garage door itself. A non‑insulated door is essentially a giant metal sheet exposed to direct sunlight, and it transfers that heat straight into the garage.
Upgrading to an insulated garage door is one of the most effective ways to control garage temperatures, reduce heat transfer, and improve comfort throughout the home. In this guide, we break down how insulation works, why R‑value matters, and when an insulated door can actually pay for itself.

This Mercer Island patio project completely transformed the backyard into a luxury, year-round outdoor living space designed for entertaining, relaxation, and recreation. We began by demolishing the existing deck and performing extensive excavation to prepare for new foundation walls, retaining walls, drainage, and a sunken swim spa area. A custom structural foundation created the framework for the expanded living space.
The lower level was finished with stamped concrete flooring, insulated walls, new windows, drywall, and premium exterior siding to seamlessly match the home. Mechanical systems included radiant floor heating, a high-efficiency boiler and water heater, plumbing, gas, ventilation, dehumidification, and a complete electrical installation for lighting, outlets, Bromic heaters, and outdoor amenities.
Large NanaWall-style glass doors connect the indoor and outdoor spaces, creating a flexible environment that can be enjoyed throughout every season. The result is a sophisticated backyard retreat featuring a covered entertaining area, climate-controlled recreation space, and seamless indoor-outdoor living—all thoughtfully designed and expertly built by People Come First Construction Group.

Retractable Screens, also known as Roll-up Screens and Vertical Rolling Screens are completely customized to meet the needs of the space.
Easy to see through and completely retractable, exterior Retractable Screens create a cool, comfortable, insect-free environment without sacrificing your view. Designed to provide superior solar protection, they mitigate UV damage, optimize comfort and provide daytime privacy even in windy settings.
Extra sun control can be achieved by increasing thread counts and weave density. Retractable Solar Shades provide energy-efficient sun shading, shelter against bugs and mosquitoes, climate control and rain/wind reduction while allowing outward visibility. Depending on screen fabric selection, our solar shade fabric selections are capable of blocking up to 95% of ultra-violet (UV) rays–saving up to 50% of the energy used to heat and cool homes.
Motorize Retractable Screens provide control at the touch of a button. Somfy Motors allow activation by wall mounted toggle switch or several different types of remote control options. These Retractable Screens will stop at upper and lower limits and are able to stop any where along the travel path on command.
Optional Manual Override features allow for operation in case of power outage for motorized units. Manual Operations are available on most models.
Motorized Retractable Screens equipped with Somfy RTS motors may be upgraded for use in Smart Homes and operated via Smartphone or other Mobile Devices.
Retractable Screens should be retracted when not in use. The screens are raised and housed inside the aluminum housing. All major components of the system are powder coated aluminum for durability, ease of operations, and longevity. All Retractable Screens from Shade & Shutter Systems come with a 5 year Warranty, to include the Somfy Motor.
Retractable Screens offer wind and rain abatement for breezy days. Many of our clients enjoy outdoor patio settings along coastal areas and beach front properties. Those areas also endure regular breezes that can be knocked down with retractable Screens for a more enjoyable experience. Although these screens are not designed for storm protection, winds to 40 mph are easily abated.
