Photographer- Nathan Spotts Our client needed to repair damage from a failed heating system and get the house ready for sale. In addition to installing a new central heating and air conditioning system, we added new hardwood flooring in the kitchen and family room, refinished the floors in the rest of the house and painted the house from top to bottom. We re-purposed a cool old work bench from the basement and gave it a new life as an Industrial themed island. The light fixture and base were custom made to go along with the theme.

Our clients sought a place outside the screened in area that would accommodate a grill. To do this we needed to design a space with enough space to prevent heat damage to the structure and siding.

Preserving fine interiors from the damaging effects of the sun is what we do. These windows are coated with 3M Prestige clear heat and fade control film. You can't tell it's there and it qualifies for up to $400.00 in rebates from KU/LG&E.

Exterior solar shades and awning systems are the most efficient solution to protect your windows and patio areas from the sun's damaging heat and UV rays. Blocking up to 99% of UV, motorized retractable shading systems allow you to block the sun and heat or reverse the strategy to allow in natural light and heat as desired.

Roller / Solar shades maintain great views while also blocking heat, glare and damaging UV rays. I've designed and installed these in condos, apartments and retail spaces including The Gulch, Germantown, Buena Vista, West End, and all over the downtown Nashville area.

With big windows, you have a lot of sun coming in during the day, that creates hot spots and glare making it very uncomfortable to be in the room when the sun is out. Additionally, UV entering the home damages furniture and flooring. Adding home window film to windows, you’re able to block heat entering the home, reduce heat, and block 99.9% of UV rays.
