Staying Home: Tips to Make a Comfortable and Energy-Efficient Home

The COVID-19 pandemic brought fear and uncertainty. Stay-at-home orders and recommended quarantining had everyone isolated in their homes. Even as the economy works through strategies to reopen, many people are still choosing to limit their time out in public on the side of caution. 

Now is the perfect time to address improvements that need to be made to your home, as you will most likely be spending more time there, or  in case another wave of the novel coronavirus ensues. Make your home your own personal oasis from the craziness of the world.

Comfort in Arizona’s Summer Heat

The temperatures are already reaching triple digits, and the heat will continue into September. Make sure to schedule any repairs to your air conditioner, pool, misting system, or grill. Pool season is in full swing, does your yard have adequate shade to protect you and your family from harmful UV rays and overheating?  

Awnings - Awnings are a great solution for poolside shade, allowing you to expand your space when the heat gets a little too intense. You can even have awnings installed that can shade the pool. What’s more convenient is that they can be retractable, so you can simply keep them tucked when you don’t need them. Learn More About Awnings

 

Plant Shade Trees - Trees can definitely add more comfort to your yard by not only providing shade from the rays of the sun but can also drop the temperature in your home if placed by windows. They can also add beauty to your yard’s appearance as well!

Umbrellas - Having some umbrellas ready is a great solution when the Arizona sun starts to turn scorching hot. They’re the quickest and easiest solution if you want to be a little bit comfortable under the heat of the Arizona sun.

 

Patio Shades - Like awnings, patio shades are also excellent when you’re expanding your outdoor space. You even have options available for patio shades, whether zipper

Rising Air Conditioning Costs

Staying in could mean skyrocketing energy bills from increased air conditioning usage, especially if you're working from home and your kids are home more. How can you improve your home to be more energy efficient?

Motion, Sun, and Wind Sensors

As shading your home with awnings and patio shades can keep your home significantly cooler, there are accessories to make motorized shade installation more efficient. Sensors that are able to detect the direction of the wind and the sun’s rays, as well as motion, help in keeping the wind or sun’s rays in check by intelligently sensing them during certain times of the day. Installing sensors will definitely help in regulating your home’s temperature.

 

 

Sun Sensors - These sensors will detect sun exposure and will automatically drop your patio shades or extend your awnings.

Wind/Movement Sensors - When winds get a little too strong, especially during monsoon season, these sensors will retract your motorized awnings and patio shades.

Window Sun Screens

Keeping your home cooler with the shade solutions mentioned above can help cool your home, but a key necessity for every Arizona home is window sun screens. 

Window sun screens can help you save on air conditioning by helping keep your home’s interior cooler, all while providing a better sense of privacy and security. They also give your home that clean and refreshing look. If your screens are torn or worn, now is a great time to replace them. 

Save up to 25% on cooling costs, all while being able to choose the color of your liking. You can definitely get the most out of window sun screens!

Awnings for Expanding Entertainment Space

You may have been asking yourself: How can I provide more shaded space for visitors to take cover from the Arizona Sun? The answer is Awnings.

Additional Usable Space

Awnings are perfect for homes that do not have an attached patio structure. If the sun is shining directly on your guests on the deck area, an awning can give them the shade they need. If you do have a patio, you can expand your shaded area significantly by installing awnings to patio openings.

Stationary or Retractable Awnings?

You have two types of awnings to choose from, depending on your preference. Retractable Awnings allow you to hide it away when you don’t need it. Lounge under the sun for the perfect tan, or catch a glimpse of the night sky during evenings. Stationary awnings cannot retract, but instead serve as a permanent source of shade and cover from the elements.

Awning Accessories

There are a number of accessories you can add to your motorized retractable awnings to provide a more efficient experience. Wind sensors ensure your awnings retract when winds reach a certain level. Sun Sensors extend your awnings when intensity raises to a certain level.

By expanding your entertaining space with awnings, you can definitely spend the entire day outside with your guests while being protected from harmful UV rays. Invest in awnings for expanding your entertaining space, use an honest company, trusted by Arizona homeowners.

All Pro Provides Quality Awnings for Your Entertainment Space

We give quality solutions for expanding your outdoor space with Awnings, only utilizing Somfy Motors, and premium materials. Our awnings are customized to fit your style while providing you comfort all year round. All of our awnings are made with high quality fabrics and come with a 10-year warranty.

Hosting a Party in Your Arizona Yard

Spring is the perfect season to have some guests over in your Arizona yard. The weather draws in tourists from different states and it’s the perfect time to have some friends or family members over for an outdoor party.

Like any party, you will have to prepare for it and be an excellent host to your guests. Be sure to consider the points below before you even get started. 

Make a List

You have to keep track of everything for that day, everything you need, such as grocery items, a list of beverages, a music playlist, and some games. Prepare finger foods like deviled eggs and buffalo chicken bites. For your drinks, you can prepare a pitcher of ice fruit punch or some watermelon lemonade. You can also opt for cocktails.

Send Out Invitations

Invitations can be as simple as sending someone a message online or a text. You should be specific about the time and date of your party, as well as your home address in case you’re inviting people who don’t know where your home is. Make sure you request that they respond or confirm so that you can prepare for the number of people at your party.

Have Some Activities Ready

You can prepare some games such as charades or musical chairs. You should also consider those who just want a relaxing experience so you can have some music playing while they’re sipping on their drinks. You could also light up a fire pit in the evening for some good conversation.

All Pro Shade Concepts will be at the MARICOPA COUNTY HOME SHOWS this March 6-8 2020. Catch us at the State Farm Stadium and take a look at our custom quality awnings, sun screens, and more.

Prepare Outdoor Space

There are a number of things that you should consider when preparing your backyard for a party:

  • See to it that you have enough outdoor furniture. You don’t want to see anyone without a seat during your party so you should have enough chairs for everyone who responded to your invitation. You should also check if your tables and chairs are free of dirt and mildew.
  • Maintain Landscape. Weeds and tall grass can be unattractive to look at and will prevent your guests from enjoying the party. When you find that your grass is too tall or when there’s an abundance of weeds, then get trimming before the party even starts.
  •  Make sure you have enough shade. Under the heat of the Arizona sun, you’re going to need an ample amount of shade that will extend your entertaining space. You have a couple of options available for you
    • Awnings: Awnings provide the much-needed shade that extends your outdoor space to protect you and your guests for when the Arizona sun gets too intense. They should be able to block out UV rays but still give you a good view of the outdoors
    • Patio Shades: Maybe you already have enough space for your patio. To give a little more protection from the sun, then you can install patio shades to prevent being struck by the heat of the Arizona sun during certain hours of the day.

Planning for that perfect party will allow you and your guests to have an enjoyable party experience in your yard. Make sure you’re protected from the sun and get shades from a local trusted Arizona provider.

East-West or North-South: Where Should Your House Face?

For a number of homeowners, orientation matters when it comes to where the house faces. Many would opt for east-facing homes for that beautiful sunrise or a home that’s facing west for cooler mornings that are great for sleeping in. When you’re living in Arizona however, having an east-west facing house can actually entail problems.

All Pro Shade Concepts installs custom window sun screens, awnings, and patio shades; and are the leading shade providers in Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, the East Valley (Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, Tempe, Queen Creek) and West Valley (Phoenix, Glendale, Sun City, Laveen, Peoria, Avondale, Goodyear).

For home efficiency’s sake, your best bet is to have a home that’s facing north or south. Here’s why.

East-West Facing House

With an east-west facing house, the intense heat will be concentrated on the front and backyard, discouraging yard time with loved ones. Homes rarely have large windows on the side of their homes, they’re usually located at the front & back of the home. The summer sun will beam into windows and temperatures indoors will be a lot higher, demanding more in cooling costs.

North-Facing

Typically a north-facing home will only get sunlight in the back of the home and will be naturally cooler and darker than that of a south-facing home. In a place like Arizona this is typically the home you’ll want to look more at to keep cooling costs down when the temperatures rise. Who wouldn't want to save more money when you're running the A/C so often?

All Pro Shade Concepts will be at the MARICOPA COUNTY HOME SHOWS this March 6-8 2020. Catch us at the State Farm Stadium and take a look at our custom quality awnings, sun screens, and more.

What to Do When You Have an East- or West-Facing Home

If you have a home that faces east or west, your best solution is shade. Trees shading windows can help block heat & sun exposure from entering your home. If you are concerned about your view becoming obstructed, shade installations could be the answer.

Window Sun Screens provide you with increased privacy, where passersby cannot see in, while you can clearly see out. Installing Window Sun Screens on your home can save you up to 25% on Cooling Costs in the intense Arizona summer. 

All Pro Shade Concepts is Phoenix’s most trusted when it comes to sun screens. If you have an SRP Account for your home, you may be eligible for the SRP Screen Shade Rebate Program. SRP is offering customers a rebate of $0.80 per square foot on window screens installed by All Pro Shade Concepts.

Patio Drop Shades keep your home cooler, and also serve as an added layer of shade for you and your guests, when the sun shines into your patio. 

Awnings can be installed over doors or windows to provide protection from sun entering your home. Attaching retractable awnings to patios also provides expansion of shaded entertainment space, that you can retract when not needed.

Patio Shades & Retractable Awnings reduce cooling costs and can both be motorized & integrated with sun or wind sensors, for maximum efficiency.

Turn Your Patio into a Backyard Oasis

Need inspiration for your next home project, something that everyone will enjoy? Create an oasis, a place to relax and enjoy company, in the midst of your sun-soaked Arizona Backyard. It may seem like a daunting task, but planning can make all the difference.

Here’s what you can do to make your patio the perfect backyard oasis.

Add a Patio Bar

When creating an oasis in your backyard patio, think about the comfort and convenience of having refreshments readily available. Adding a patio bar, complete with a mini-fridge, can make entertaining easy.

Mix up a variety of cocktails like a pro, & create a house drink that guests will surely remember. 

Invest in Outdoor Furniture

If you want to kick back and relax in your patio oasis, it’s important to invest in some comfy outdoor furniture. The furniture you buy should be able to withstand the elements outside while showcasing your personal style.

Have tables, chairs, or benches to provide plenty of seating options for guests.

All Pro Shade Concepts will be at the MARICOPA COUNTY HOME SHOWS this March 6-8 2020. Catch us at the State Farm Stadium and take a look at our custom quality awnings, sun screens, and more.

Get an Outdoor Rug

Create the perfect spot to sit around and gather with company, by accenting your patio with an outdoor rug. Find one that compliments your outdoor furniture & the decor. It’s also a good idea to measure the area first so you’ll have an idea of the size of the rug you’ll need.

Add Plants & Flowers

If you want to get that aesthetically-pleasing outdoor space, then you should mix it up by adding a variety of plants or flowers around your patio. You can throw in some more color by putting up some flower beds and you can even get that tropical feel by having bamboo, palm trees, and hibiscus. A beautiful flower arrangement as your centerpiece, or some hanging plants can add personality and depth to your space.

Add Awnings

Awnings extend from the wall and are often placed above patio openings, windows or doors. To extend the patio entertainment space, or provide more shade for your patio/pool area, Awnings are the perfect solution. Motorized & Manual Options are available, with a wide variety of colors. They are useful year-round, increasing shade from the summer sun, while providing more coverage during rainfall.

Install Patio Drop Shades

When you have the glare or heat of the sun to put up with, then you’re going to need patio drop shades for protection against the sun’s rays. Not only do they block off heat from your patio, but they also keep out rays from entering through your doors and windows. Choose from motorized or manual operated options. Look into Zipper-Sealed Patio Shades as an alternative to cable tracks, where your patio is completely enclosed to keep bugs & debris out of your patio.

All Pro Shade Concepts offers Arizona the most customized experienced shade installations, allowing customers to get exactly what they need & want. Unlike other companies, All Pro can accommodate drop shades over 16 feet, fully encased options, and the very popular zipper-sealed option.

Get Started on Your AZ Oasis

The most essential factor to consider when building an oasis in your backyard is the comfort that it brings year-round, especially during summer. Contact a local, trusted shade installation company that provides your Arizona Home with quality products and services.

In need of window sun screens, awnings, and roll shades for your backyard oasis?

Host the Most Epic Super Bowl Party

Now that 2019 is but a distant memory, it’s time to look forward to 2020’s first big event - The Super Bowl! Super Bowl LIV 2020 will be at 4:30 PM MST on

Sunday, February 2, 2020

 

If you’re planning to host a Super Bowl party in your home, it’s never too early to prepare. Here are some in hosting the most epic Super Bowl party:

Prepare the Space

Think about how guests will watch the game. Prepare the amount of seating you will need for everyone to enjoy the game comfortably. While the couch may not be adequate to accommodate all your guests, think about putting the game on in different areas. A popular Idea is to have the game on in the backyard. Grill burgers and hot dogs, or grab a beer while enjoying the game as the kids play. 

Comfy seats are essential, and you should set them up so everyone can see the screen and easily access the food. If you’re hosting the party on your patio, you can expand your entertainment space with some awnings, or make it a little more intimate (and bug free!) with some zipper-sealed patio shades. Decorate the area according to the colors of the teams playing with some streamers, mini-flags and foam-fingers, and you’re all set! 

Game & Half-Time Show Fun

Get everyone into the Super Bowl spirit with some fun games around the event. Start a drinking game that revolves around certain plays, commercials, or the half time show. Jennifer Lopez & Shakira will be the headliners for this year's Super Bowl Half Time Show.

Make a pool for Super Bowl predictions before the game starts and have everyone put in a couple dollars to play.  You can even have some fun with the prizes- get a little trophy and pop a bottle of champagne to celebrate the winner.

 

Simple, But Delicious Food

When it comes to Super Bowl parties, there’s no need to be fancy with food. Just remember these two things: savory and sweet. You can never go wrong with classics like barbecue, hotdogs, or tacos. Make your party standout by keeping food presentation cohesive to the Super Bowl theme, if you are feeling up for the challenge try to make a Super Bowl Snack Stadium. For dessert, make some Super Bowl-themed sweets (check out delicious recipes on Pinterest!). 

Lots of Drinks!

A Super Bowl Party is not complete without some refreshing drinks. Think about what kind of drinkers your guests are, and how tipsy you want them to get. Get a beer keg or a cooler full of beer for the occasion.

Of course, not everyone drinks alcohol. Remember to serve fun non-alcoholic drinks for designated drivers and guests who prefer to stay sober. If there are kids attending think of what they would enjoy.

Ready to host the most unforgettable party ever? Let All Pro Shade Concepts get your backyard ready for parties all year round with high-quality shade solutions.

Home Upgrades for 2020

2019 will be ending very soon, and a new decade will start. As the new year draws near, you should start thinking about how you can refresh your home for 2020. Think about the home projects and upgrades you've put off over the years.

Don’t know where to start? Here’s our list of home upgrades you can add to your home this 2020.

Solar Panels

The road to sustainability and self-sufficiency is long, and the first step is renewable energy. Arizona has plenty of sun, so harvesting its power for your own use only makes sense. Solar panels can help significantly cut your utility costs. It also serves as a backup when grid power is down. When air conditioning costs are at its highest in the summer, you'll be glad to be harvesting your own power.

Going solar not only brings your monthly power bill down, it benefits the environment. It’s definitely worth looking into if you want a more self-sufficient home.

Entertainment or Game Room

If you have an extra room that’s been gathering dust, one good way to make use of it is to transform it into an entertainment or gaming room. While it’s okay to keep your entertainment electronics in the living room, an entertainment room sets an exclusive ambiance, where you can binge-watch Netflix films, watch sports, or play your favorite video games.

Wow your guests with a new pool table, air hockey table, dart boards, ping pong table, or poker setup. Get a projector and install a wet bar to host the greatest super bowl parties for years to come.

Awnings & Patio Shades

Do you need more shade in your backyard?  Sun protection is a must in the intense Arizona sun. Poolside Retractable Awnings can add some much-needed shade to your pool. With some shade, you can extend your swimming time without worrying about getting sunburned. Arizonians love to have the awnings extend over the pool, eliminating the hassle of setting up an umbrella. Awnings can also expand your outdoor entertainment space when you invite friends over. Motorized Patio shades, another luxurious addition, can reduce the glare and heat coming into your patio, so you can enjoy cooler areas with the sun blocked.

Home Automation System

Home automation is undoubtedly a necessary addition to today's modern home. It lets you control almost anything in your home. And you don't need to buy a huge system right off the bat, either. You can start with small upgrades like lighting and climate control using readily-available devices like Google Home or Amazon Echo/Alexa.

Install responsive sensors for motorized patio shades and awnings, so it retracts or opens automatically depending on the sunlight exposure and wind speed. You can also try sleek, motorized, interior blinds/shades - where you can set them to retract or extend based on a timer. With home automation, the possibilities are endless!

Of all these home upgrades, getting shade solutions is the easiest. It’s an effective way to cut cooling costs during the summer, and you can enjoy other benefits for the rest of the year. All Pro Shade Concepts is Arizona’s most reliable shade solution installer. If you’re not sure what shade solution your home needs, we do FREE HOME INSPECTIONS, no pressure to buy!

Top 5 Gifts for Arizona Homeowners

It’s almost Christmas - we all know what that means! The streets are going to be crowded with Christmas shoppers looking for last-minute deals on gift items. Trinkets, new clothes, and toys are nice, but if you want to give your loved ones something that lasts, or if you simply want to minimize the clutter in your home, look for a gift that everyone can enjoy. Here are top 5 gift ideas for Arizona Homeowners.

Multimedia Projector

Be it movie or game night, a multimedia projector will level up any entertainment space. Create a new tradition with your family where you all come together for one night each week to enjoy your favorite flicks. The great thing about a multimedia projector is that you can set it up indoors, or outdoors if the weather’s nice! Tip: create a driver-in aesthetic to your setup by adding some rugs/pillows on the floor of your patio or living room. Don’t forget the popcorn!

Outdoor Firepit

Every Arizona backyard should have a lovely firepit. There, you can gather your family ‘round for some campfire goodies - smores, hot cocoa, eggnog, barbecue, you name it! A fire pit creates a cozy spot in your backyard, and, when set up right, can also double as a grill. Thanks to Arizona’s warmer climate, you only need a single firepit to make your backyard suitable for winter family gatherings.

Hanging Patio Swings

Make your Patio Bug/Debris Free Using Zipper Sealed Patio Shades

Zipper-Sealed Patio Shades are a great addition to your patio, backyard deck, or any outdoor living space. This installation gives many benefits such as reducing the amount of heat and UV rays, significantly reduces energy cost, to name a few. During the fall, parts of your home may be exposed to leaves, dust, and debris. Here’s how zipper-sealed patio shades can protect your outdoor living area.

Durable Design

Arizona is prone to strong winds. The zipper-lock shade feature that holds the screen in rails makes it durable enough to withstand the elements. This makes your patio perfect for board games and the like. You don’t have to worry about your stuff getting blown away, as the screens can break the blow of the wind. You can also add wind sensors and motors so when the wind gets too strong for the patio shades to handle, it will automatically retract.

Versatile and Customizable

Zipper-sealed patio shades can be customized according to your home’s needs and style. You can choose the type of fabric and colors. Motorization is also a great addition to zipper-sealed shades. This allows you to control your shades at the touch of a button. You may also add sun sensors that will automatically roll your shades down when it gets too hot out. 

Fade Resistant Screen Fabrics

All Pro Shade Concepts uses only Textilene® to make sure the screens are of high quality and fade resistant. This type of fabric can block up to 90% of the sun’s rays and can significantly reduce your energy cost during summer.

During colder months, it can help you create a cozier environment for your family and guests.

Doubles as a Bug Screen

Love hanging out at the patio with your kids? Keep those bees, wasps, and flies out easily with zipper-sealed patio shades. The sealed track keeps annoying fall insects in your backyard away from your outdoor living spaces.
