As the Arizona summer intensifies, with temperatures soaring above 110°F, it's crucial to adapt your home to stay cool and energy-efficient. Here are some remodeling ideas to help you beat the heat:


1. Upgrade to Energy-Efficient Windows

Replace old windows with energy-efficient models featuring low-emissivity (Low-E) coatings and double or triple glazing. These windows reduce heat gain and loss, keeping your home cooler and lowering energy bills.


2. Install a Cool Roof

Opt for a cool roof made from materials that reflect more sunlight and absorb less heat than standard roofs. This can significantly lower indoor temperatures and reduce cooling costs .


3. Enhance Landscaping for Shade

Plant shade trees strategically around your home to block direct sunlight. Consider desert-adapted trees like Chilean Mesquite, which provide rapid growth and effective shading .


4. Optimize Airflow with Ceiling Fans

Install ceiling fans to improve air circulation and create a wind-chill effect, making your home feel cooler without lowering the thermostat.


5. Repaint Exterior with Light Colors

Choose light-colored paints for your home's exterior to reflect more sunlight and absorb less heat, helping to maintain a cooler indoor environment.


From installing energy-efficient windows and cool roofs to creating inviting outdoor living areas, we specialize in upgrades that make your home more comfortable and sustainable. Trust our experienced team to bring your vision to life with quality craftsmanship and personalized solutions.
