Experience Lowcountry Living...Perfected Located on the banks of the Okatie River in coastal South Carolina, Oldfield is more than a community – it is the essence of Lowcountry living. Offering residents waterfront, equestrian, golf, and lifestyle amenities, life in Oldfield is full, rewarding, authentic… and perfected. Picturesque white paddock fences, majestic Live oak trees, and a red barn with horses grazing in the pasture provide an unforgettable and serene gateway into Oldfield. The Equestrian Center gives Members an opportunity to explore the natural beauty of the property while enjoying a ride on Oldfield’s trails, which meander through the 860-acre property. Horse owners appreciate this first-class boarding facility as do several community owned horses. Riding lessons are available as are summer camps to inspire the next generation of riders. The Outfitters Center is the launching point for the seemingly limitless ways to enjoy the riverfront. Residents can coordinate a guided fishing experience on one of the Oldfield owned boats, which are staffed by Oldfield employees, some of the finest guides 10

and naturalists in the area. Sunrise and sunset prove to be the most special times of day on the river - ideal for paddle boarding, kayaking, an oyster roast or dinner at The River Club, a historic home on the property showcasing delicious Lowcountry cuisine. Golf at Oldfield is not just a game, it is an experience. As one of the area’s top destinations, Members enjoy year-round play on a 7,134-yard, par-72 course. Updated in 2017 in collaboration with Greg Norman Golf, the course features creative approaches, four types of grasses, new sod-walled bunkers, and expansive waste bunkers – all notable Greg Norman hallmarks. As one of the top private golf courses in Bluffton, Oldfield provides a Lowcountry golf experience unlike any other. Health & wellness is not forgotten at Oldfield. Residents stay fit in mind and body at The Sports Club. The Club offers outdoor courts for tennis and pickleball, a heated lap pool, and a top-notch fitness center. There is a comprehensive schedule of complimentary fitness classes and frequent wellness and nutrition forums. For individual care, on-staff

trainers assist residents with achieving their personal fitness goals. This is also the site of Oldfield’s resort style outdoor pool and playground, where every family member can relax and enjoy a sunny day. When it’s time to head home, residents are immersed in an authentic Lowcountry community. Feature builders Front Light Building Company and Stanley Martin Homes balance a traditional Lowcountry architecture with new technologies rendering homes that are energy efficient, smart, and comfortable for the modern family. Model homes are available to tour for those interested in exploring a home at Oldfield. With so many lifestyle choices, Oldfield truly is Lowcountry Living. Perfected.

the LOWCOUNTRY your HOME

EVERYTHING YOU WANT IN ONE COMMUNITY A bold claim? Yes, but true. Located along the banks of the Okatie River, Oldfield is rich with detail, character and adventure.

LIVING LIFE

Beyond the Call of Duty

very day American soldiers sacrifice on the front lines to keep our country safe and our freedom intact. Often their heroics go unrecognized even though American citizens benefit daily from the dedication these soldiers give to their job. When military personal return from service in a combat arena, it is often difficult for them to assimilate into society and connect with others. Lowcountry veteran Roy Brown Jr., also known as “JR,” is all too familiar with the difficulties veterans can face after returning home. “Unfortunately, I’ve dealt with losing several brothers-in-arms to

suicide,” said JR. Many service members return from duty with trauma that is difficult to talk about with non-service members. JR was visiting Labs for Liberty in Utah on a training excursion when he had a brilliant idea. After a week of experiencing the healing power of nature, JR decided to create a similar non-profit in the lowcountry that would help service members find purpose beyond their call of duty while connecting them with comrades who shared similar experiences. Operation Patriots FOB was started with the intent of fostering “positive experiences for Combat Veterans by connecting through outdoor and recreational activities” (opfob.org). The organization seeks to help each member discover exciting opportunities that open the door to a fresh new mindset and outlook on life. The experiences offered through OPFOB center around recreational activities like hunting

and fishing that help veterans relax in a safe and positive environment. Once the vision for the program was established, JR just needed to find a location to make the dream a reality. JR contacted his friend and local builder Ben Kennedy for help. He knew Ben had real estate experience and supported veterans and law enforcement. Soon Ben found the perfect location–a 268-acre pristine hunting preserve in Ridgeland, SC–and he was ready to come alongside JR to help the project get started. “JR and I bought the property before we had the non-profit completely up and running because the vision was so important to us and the people around us,” said Ben. The property has a skeet shooting range, a 500+ yard shooting range, a fenced dove field, and four plus miles of roads that roam through vast woods. It is home to a variety of wildlife including deer, quail, turkey and dove. It’s a serene environment where service members can come for camaraderie and healing while getting in touch with nature. An experienced builder, Ben enjoys bringing the vision to life such as updating the barn that was located on the property so that it could be used to host events. Ben is also vice-chairman of the OPFOB Board of Directors. “My background in the outdoors allows me to help introduce new experiences to our

OPFOB Board of Directors

veterans. They are learning new skills and being exposed to more opportunities that ever before,” said Ben. “We created this place for veterans to basically get away from the world–to come out to the woods to do some hunting, fishing and shooting. And to be able to do it with other like-minded veterans and their families,” said JR. The beautiful landscape and surrounding nature

provide the perfect atmosphere to support the OPFOB motto of “regroup, refocus.” Relationships are vital to humanity, and OPFOB is doing it’s part to make sure that every veteran in the lowcountry has a place to turn to. By supporting an organization that promotes healing, health and fun for our veterans, we can all say thank you to those who risk their lives for our safety.

ISLAND INFORMATION

Hilton Head Island Taxes REAL ESTATE AND PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX There are many tax districts in Beaufort County each with a corresponding tax rate. The map above will guide to for the local area. REAL ESTATE TAX AT PURCHASE When you purchase real estate the county will use the purchase value to calculate the taxes due. This will be reduced to 4% of the purchase if you are to reside in the property and 6% if you use it for any other purpose. The result will then be subject to the millage for your district. REAL ESTATE TAX AFTER PURCHASE The county uses an assessed value, determined by them, to calculate continuing real estate taxes. This is also reduced to 4% for residents or 6% for nonresidents. That number is multiplied by the corresponding millage rate to determine the amount of taxes. Resident millage rate is lower than nonresidents as residents do not pay that portion of the millage relating to school operations.

IF YOU ARE OVER 65 One-year residents, or more, who are over 64, or blind, or have a disability may reduce their assessed value of their primary residence by $50,000 before reducing the assessed value to 4%. AN EXAMPLE Purchase Price = $300,000 X 4 or 6 percent X the millage rate shown on the map above for your district = taxes due. 300,000 X 4% (resident) = 12,000 X .102 millage rate in Hilton Head Plantation = $1,224 in taxes due. Remember, the information here is general in nature. If you have specific questions about your personal taxes you should check with the Country Auditor (843 255 2500), the Tax Assessor’s Office (843 255 2400) or your personal accountant.

SLIDING SCALE OF SC STATE TAX RATE FOR PERSONAL INCOME 2.5% on the first $2,530 3% on the next $2,530 4% on the next $2,530 5% on the next $2,530 6% on the next $2,530 7% on $12,650+

Hilton Head Area Association of ® Realtors ® New New®®

Jean Beck Chief Executive Officer

ccording to our annual 2020 end-of-year market report, 6781 residential transactions closed, a record-breaking year. That number represents many new residents to the Lowcountry, and we would like to welcome you and share a little about living in the Lowcountry. We hope by now you have settled into your home. Moving during a pandemic is far different than any other time and we want to help you get acquainted. Having grown up and lived in Connecticut for over forty years, moving to the south was a dream come true. Do not get me wrong Connecticut is a beautiful state, but way too long of a winter. Our first year on Hilton Head Island we hung Christmas lights in shorts! That would never happen in New England. And by the way, your blood thins, after living here for about three years 55 degrees is freezing. LIVING IN A RESORT COMMUNITY In more traditional suburban areas, the population of your town likely remained the same throughout the year. But living in the Lowcountry we share our towns, amenities, festivals, and its beauty with tourists who come to take a break from day-to-day routines and spend quality

Welcome New Residents time with family and friends. Perhaps you were once a visitor to the area. Living here requires patience for our guests who may not know their way around and are driving slowly to find the villa or house they rented for the week. Our restaurants, grocery stores, waterways and beaches become busier. But my favorite part of our tourists, is seeing smiles on faces, couples holding hands and families riding bikes together. Now that you are a “local” think of yourself as an ambassador and be welcoming. Remember tourism is the number one economic driver to the region. OUR PROUD MILITARY In Beaufort County we have a long history of military and their families in our county. It would not be unusual when I would fly home from a business trip into the Savannah Airport to see a class of recruits on the plane heading to Parris Island. It melts your heart to see these young men and women proudly going to serve our country. Also, in Beaufort County you may hear rumbles in the sky, that is the “sound of freedom” as the members of the U.S Air Station practice their maneuvers above. We stand tall and proud aside our military in Beaufort County and thank them for their service.

gated communities have twists purposely designed by the planners for you to enjoy the environment? When your family and friends come to visit, they will ask to see an alligator, or you may point to a dolphin swimming not far offshore or share stories about the sea turtle nests on the beach. Love where you live and be a good steward of our environment. OUR RICH HISTORY There is so much more to our region than beaches and golf. Go and learn about our history. It will amaze you and you will think differently when you walk on the land where slaves became free or sights of battle during the Civil War. Meet and talk with our Gullah Geechee neighbors who are descendants of Africans enslaved right here in the Lowcountry. They share stories of growing up here, what their parents and grandparents endured, and their rich culture which is imbedded into our community. Did you know electricity did not arrive on Hilton Head Island until 1951? You can start your journey by visiting the Heritage Library, the Penn Center or go on a Gullah Geechee bus tour. This is an amazing place to live and pinch yourself you are really here! We all cannot wait to get this pandemic behind us and get to meet you and shake your hand, however in the Lowcountry we greet each other with a hug! Welcome!

OUR ENVIRONMENT All of God’s creatures have a place in the choir and in the Lowcountry we live in concert with our natural environment. When visiting friends in Florida, we were out on their boat for the day. The first thing I noticed was the view from the water to the land, it was filled with high rise buildings and all you saw was cement. We are blessed to have some of the most pristine waterways in the country, and our view from the water to the land looks back to the beauty that surrounds us with trees, plants, and greenery.

Looking for Space by Bryan Mudrak, Owner of More Space Place in Bluffton and Mt. Pleasant, SC Space, the final frontier… or what we are all looking for in our homes. Moving to the Lowcountry can mean a lot of changes in our living arrangements. Often new homes include open floor plans, less walls and less spaces for our stuff. That’s right, we still have a lot of “Stuff” from bigger homes. The trick is how do we find more space for all our stuff. The folks at More Space Place have been figuring this out for the past 16 years and have some pretty good ideas. The easiest starting point is your closet. Most new homes come equipped with wire shelving. They are not pretty, nor are they very functional when it comes to organizing your Stuff. Customizing your closet can maximize the vertical space in your closets. Every inch can be utilized so you can easily access your clothes, shoes, and seasonal items. Many choose to build their dresser into the closet for the convenience of having everything in one place. The custom designed closet can organize your clothing, saving time, money and aggravation because you can easily find what you need. No more searching through clutter just to find that shirt or pants you KNOW you have somewhere. Closet rods can be set at heights to match your garment sizes. Adjustable shelving will help you find the perfect place for folded items, linen and shoes. Even the higher elevations of your closet can be used for seasonal and light weight items. Your garage is an Oasis of storage ideas. Again, vertical storage with shelving can open the floor of your garage for what it was meant for…Your Car! That’s right, your car deserves a place in your garage too. There are lots of storage solutions for your garage

Advantages of a metal roof

Provided by 4M Metals

If you would like to make your house more energy efficient, weather protected, create a beautiful design element and potentially never have to replace your roof again? This may be for you! While a metal roof is slightly more expensive than a shingle roof, the

advantages of choosing metal roofing greatly outweigh the cost. Here are a few reasons you should consider a metal roof: ENERGY EFFICIENCY: A metal roof is more energy efficient than a shingle roof. It can decrease your heating/

cooling costs significantly. Most metal roofing finishes are EnergyStar rated, this allows the panels to reflect rather than absorb heat and can keep your home cooler in the summer which prevents your air conditioning system from working so hard, therefore saving you money. WEATHER PROTECTION: If you live in an area that is prone to hurricanes or harsh climates, metal roofing can help to protect your house from harsh winds up to 145 mph, severe storms and hail. Many insurances companies provide discounts on homes that have metal roofing if you choose to put a qualified metal roofing system on your home. LONGEVITY: A metal roof can last two – three times longer than a shingle roof, possibly a lifetime.

We are proud to be your fabrication expert in the Lowcountry and surrounding areas.

Let 4M Metals be the difference in your roof!

DESIGN AESTHETICS: A metal roof compliments many architectural styles, from a LowCountry home to a more contemporary design. Having a metal roof can also add value to the home for resale. GREEN PRODUCT: Metal roofing is made of recyclable materials and is fully recyclable after its duration.

Pest Control That is “Above and Beyond” By Bill Robertson, General Manager, Hilton Head Exterminators At Hilton Head Exterminators, the above and beyond culture that we have fostered over the past five decades can be described in three words, “Commitment, Reputation, Tradition”. The foundation upon which we have built our reputation and tradition is our commitment, which was a “day one” decision as well as a daily priority. Day one saw only one pest control company on the Island….Hilton Head Exterminators. We knew others would come, but we also knew if we lived up to our commitment we would build the largest and best pest control company on the island. We also set our sites beyond the island and have developed as the largest and best pest control in the Lowcountry. Over the years our staff has received letters expressing satisfaction with our service. These days most of what used to come in the form of

Tip_Pest Control.indd 1

letters comes in the form of online reviews. One way of expressing satisfaction with above and beyond service is to give five star ratings. We’re very proud of our overall customer satisfaction rating. It is an endorsement of our foundational commitment, and our reputation and tradition are verified by what our customers say about us. As we move into our second halfcentury of protecting area homes and businesses, there have been many changes in the services offered. The development of the Sentricon Colony Elimination System and Termidor to protect against termite damage have provided two very dependable approaches to keep area homes and businesses safe. The newest threat to area homes and businesses is the Formosan Termite. We have led the effort to discover innovative ways to

control this devastating new breed of termite. Effective treatment of various other types of home invaders has improved to the degree that treating around the exterior of the home is more common than simply treating the interior. We are humbled every time we get a five-star review. These serve to motivate us to work even harder to maintain our above and beyond ratings. We figure if we simply live up to our original commitment and continue the culture of above and beyond service, the reviews, and our growth, will take care of themselves.

Good Water Equals Good Health Provided by Culligan Water

Still using tap water? A recent survey shows that more than 50% of consumers will not drink water straight from the tap. With a Culligan Water Conditioner or Culligan Drinking Water Filter there is no need to use or drink tap water. Every family has three types of water: raw water, working water and drinking water. RAW WATER is the tap water supplied to your family from a private well or public water supply. Raw water is best used for sprinkler systems, watering lawns, plants, outdoor uses and washing cars. WORKING WATER is the tap water your family uses to wash clothes and dishes, heating hot water, showering, flushing toilets and water using appliances. LIFE WATER is the most important water for your family’s use. It is the water for cooking, drinking, ice cubes, coffee/tea and your pets. How well do you know your tap water? On a private well you should have your water tested annually by a registered

lab. With public water you should read their annual drinking water report which is available at your local PSD’s website. You can also check www.ewg.com and have your water tested by a professional. Testing your water is important for the safety and health of your family’s water uses. Your professionally trained Culligan Man can provide you with a no-cost, no-obligation in-home water test to ensure peace of mind for your family.

The right stone for your surfaces

Provided by Savannah Surfaces MARBLE is a metamorphic rock resulting from intense pressure on limestone or dolomite. It is generally considered to be white, but it can be found veined with beautiful earthy colors caused by minerals present during its formation. Best uses are for floors, walls, fireplaces and countertops.

There are so many options available for surfaces that it can be difficult to determine what style is the best fit for you. There are classics that will last a lifetime, and there are trends that come and go. Generally, kitchen decor lasts less than 10 years, so when creating your dream kitchen you want to consider a look that will stand the test of time. Kitchen experts say requests for natural stone continue to be popular. Homeowners prefer natural stone because it’s durable, fire-safe and strikingly beautiful. Stone often has a unique look based on where and how it was naturally formed. Here are five types of stone widely used for residential purposes.

GRANITE is an igneous rock, which means it is volcanic lava or magma which has cooled and hardened. It is known for its durability and characteristic speckles. Perfect for flooring, fireplaces and areas that receive moisture. SLATE is a metamorphic rock which started out as volcanic ash or clay. It can be found in a variety of colors in addition to its usual shades of gray. Slate tiles are long-lasting, water resistant, and easy to care for as floors, counters and roofs. LIMESTONE is a sedimentary rock composed largely of small mineral particles, particularly skeletal fragments

EST

of marine organisms. It is generally available in natural hues like white, offwhite, beige or gray. Most limestone cannot be polished so it retains a somewhat dull surface. It is not stain or etch resistant making it more suitable for floors, shower walls and fireplaces. QUARTZ is a man-made engineered stone countertop formed by combining 90% ground quartz (a natural hard mineral) with 8-10% resins, polymers, and pigments. This forms a very hard granite-like surface that is extremely durable and nonporous.

Saving money is really a by-product of saving energy If you are a member of an electric cooperative, you might already be aware of the energy saving programs available to you. In an initiative known as Beat the Peak, Palmetto Electric Cooperative and other South Carolina electric cooperatives are working hard to manage energy use during peak times. Peaks occur on the coldest winter mornings and hottest summer afternoons, when the demand for electricity, and the cost for it, is the highest. By keeping energy usage low during these peak times, the co-op can lower total power costs. Because electric cooperatives are not-for-profit companies, the savings are passed on to the co-op’s members. By joining Beat the Peak, members can save both energy and money in a variety of ways. First, voluntarily sign up for Beat the Peak alerts to be notified by email, text or voice message at times when you can help reduce electricity use by turning off lights, adjusting your thermostat and delaying the use of major appliances such as hot water heaters, washing machines and clothes dryers. For years, Palmetto Electric Cooperative members have had access to H2O Select, an electric water heater program that saves members millions of dollars each year in water heater rebates and incentives. By heating water when the demand for electricity is low and storing that thermal energy for later use, electric water heaters save members and the cooperative money.

Now, co-op members can save even more by enrolling in the Smart Thermostat program to receive a FREE smart thermostat with FREE standard installation. Smart thermostats are designed to ensure that your home is at a specific temperature when it

needs to be and eliminate unnecessary HVAC usage. Smart thermostats are more accurate at measuring the current indoor temperature and more efficient at raising or lowering it to your desired indoor temperature. They are wi-fi enabled and therefore, you can monitor and control them using a smartphone, tablet or computer – no matter where you are. When you install an smart thermostat, you can: • CONTROL: Conveniently adjust your home’s temperature from anywhere, anytime. Operate it from your mobile device, computer or tablet.

TRACK: View monthly energy reports that show use. You can even compare your use to what others are using. • SAVE: The thermostat adjusts when you’re not home. The thermostat also adjusts for a few degrees during peak periods. During peak control events, the thermostat’s temperature settings will be adjusted as needed, up to 4 degrees above or below your desired setting. You will be notified prior to an upcoming peak event and will have the opportunity to opt-out if desired.* By reducing your electricity use during peak times, you will be helping reduce costs for all Palmetto Electric members, and you will also be eligible for Smart Rewards bill credits.

Cooking in Style As the certified center of the modern home, kitchen trends have become a great index for home design. A kitchen plan that is functional, efficient and inviting is a proven asset to your investment while providing a useful space that your entire family will enjoy. Designing a well-planned kitchen should be a priority as it should be

functional as well as beautiful. Once the footprint is established, the surface materials, light fixtures, paint colors and cabinets will vary by taste and season, but there are some kitchen elements that we believe are here to stay for a while. If you are building or remodeling in 2020, here are some design ideas to consider.

CLEAN AND SIMPLE Serving as both functional and aesthetically pleasing, kitchens will continue to be defined by simplicity with a little drama. By removing the clutter and adding dramatic lines and colors to cabinets topped with showpiece countertops, this room gains the kind of appeal that makes guests want to linger and enjoy. Homeowners are gravitating towards clever, concealed storage options that are neatly integrated into the total design. You can also expect to see integrated appliances. Slim-lined hoods that turn on automatically, seamless induction cooktops that blend into counter spaces, bold colors like black and teal and appliances that don’t stick out everywhere are the new face of luxury.

BACKSPLASH FEATURE WALLS Colorful and geometric patterned tile and brick for kitchens has been in the design realm for a while, but recently the trend has grown–quite literally. Professionals are seeing attention-grabbing backsplash tile being used from countertop to ceiling to create a striking feature wall. Additionally, there are more requests for single slab backsplashes Charles Arriola and Rob Cavano

that look clean and striking. Combined with ﬂoating shelves and range hoods, the look makes a pretty big statement in any size kitchen. For a few extra square feet of tile, it’s also a relatively costeffective way to go from average to stunning.

For a long time, range hoods were kept hidden blending seamlessly into kitchen cabinets, now they are becoming the center of attention as a design element in the kitchen. Expect to see range hoods in a variety of materials, colors and styles. From shiny or dark matte metals to natural wood finishes, plaster and brightly painted wood, these hoods are designed to be anything but boring. Add a slab backsplash or tile configuration and you have a dreamy space to make your meals.

THE 5TH WALL Take advantage of the kitchen ceiling as a 5th wall by adding a bit of color, wallpaper, wood paneling or an architectural feature. It allows you to maintain neutrality but still have some fun in the kitchen. Finish the look with a statement light fix-

The Benefits of Motorized Shades and Blinds Home automation is here to stay, and there’s no better place to put it to use than with your shades and blinds. Automated blinds offer a level of comfort, ease and efficiency that traditional blinds lack. With motorized shades and blinds, it’s easy to achieve a warm, inviting atmosphere any time of the day. Here are some of the benefits of smart blinds to help you decide if they are right for your home.

SAFETY FIRST Regular window blinds require cables and strings to open and close. After long-term use, these cords often become a tangled mess and can pose a strangulation hazard to children and pets. Motorized blinds don’t require exposed cords. Some can even connect to a smart home automation system to automatically open if the fire alarm is triggered allowing first responders to see inside the home.

CONVENIENCE Motorized blinds can be opened and closed with the touch of a button. A remote control or smartphone app allows the user to adjust shades as needed or to set up a schedule, so they adjust automatically throughout the day. ENERGY SAVINGS Window coverings are a proven way to reduce solar gain and prevent heat loss. Connecting these coverings to a smart home hub allows them to work with your home’s HVAC system to adjust based on temperature readings and sunlight sensors. Essentially, your blinds will know when to close on a hot day and when to open on a sunny, cool day in order to help your HVAC achieve a comfortable temperature level inside your home. Motorized blinds can also add a significant insulation value to your windows. Traditional roller and honeycomb blinds offer a higher R-value than double glazed windows. SECURITY One of the best benefits of any home automation system is the level of security it adds. By motorizing your blinds and setting schedules or controlling functions remotely, smart blinds give the appearance that someone is home, which can help deter would-be burglars from taking a look. PROTECT YOUR FURNITURE, FLOORS AND ART How often do you remember to adjust the blinds before leaving your home so that your favorite painting doesn’t get damaged by sunlight? The joy of home automation is being able to set a program and forget about it. Rugs, artwork and furniture can all be spared from the sun’s harsh rays without you having to be home to manually do the job. Home automation will continue to get smarter. If you want to explore the ease and comfort it can provide, automated shades and blinds is a fairly simple and efficient way to get started.

Who says a time-saving kitchen remodeling solution can’t be of highest quality? American Wood Reface proves you can have it all.

A Quality Kitchen Remodel That Won’t Strand You in Perpetual Construction Mode Homeowners who want to remodel their kitchens to high-quality standards are often quickly derailed by the complicated process and amount of time involved in planning and execution, as well as the exorbitant cost. Having your home disrupted and turned into an orange barrel zone for weeks or months is no fun, nor is eating meals out every night. And replacing high-end cabinets comes with severe sticker shock.

BEFORE

American Wood Resurface LCH 20.indd 1

Be not disheartened! There is a solution at hand that drastically shortens the timeline of a kitchen remodel, cutting the mess and disruption to as little as one week, with high-quality materials and finishes to rival the most opulent custom kitchen. What, pray, is this sorcery? Let us introduce you to Solid Wood Cabinet Refacing. First, a quick primer on refacing. Refacing is a method of renewing faded or outdated cabinet boxes by covering all exposed surfaces with new material. Add to this concept premium solid wood components and you begin to see where we are headed. Solid wood refacing is a craftsman technique that keeps existing cabinetry in place and transforms your kitchen into a showpiece without the hassle, mess and exorbitant cost of tearing out and replacing cabinets. Please don’t confuse refacing with refinishing – the latter is merely a surface treatment. Solid wood refacing, on the other hand, essentially makes cabinets new again! Not only refacing cabinet box exteriors, but installing brand new custom made solid wood doors and drawer fronts, too. Now, we realize that all refacing companies are not equal, so you must do your homework. Premium refacers use

only thick, premium solid wood facing (as opposed to thin, cheap veneers) and only the best refacers install craftsmanquality, custom-made doors and drawer fronts, concealed adjustable hinges, and new pull hardware. They also offer the most choices in woods, colors and finishes, along with many upgrades. Among the top refacing companies serving Bluffton and Hilton Head is American Wood Reface. They pull off stellar kitchen transformations with their 1/4" Solid Wood Refacing System, using premium Amish-made components and high-quality solid wood. There are literally hundreds of combinations of styles, colors and finishes to choose from, in eight different woods. American Wood Reface’s team of expert installers specialize in refacing, and have decades of carpentry experience. This allows them to offer extreme cabinetry modifications, such as altering cabinets for a new purpose, building additional cabinetry, extending cabinets to the ceiling, and installing accessibility-enhancing features such as handy roll-out trays and waste bins. One of their most highly requested modifications addresses the problem of those horrid, difficult-to-access base cabinets – you know the ones – a tiny drawer on top and a cavernous space

AMAZING KITCHeN.

below, where everything disappears into an abyss of chaos. American Wood Reface can transform these cabinets into full-extension drawer banks with organized, completely accessible storage. Once the cabinetry modifications are completed, the entire kitchen is refaced, making for a beautiful, cohesive appearance and supreme functionality. Of course, new countertops are a must, and American Wood Reface offers a dizzying array of options, including Cambria® quartz. New sinks, faucets and countertop lighting are popular add-ons. One of the most appreciated aspects of dealing with American Wood Reface is how easy they make the process. Starting with a convenient, free, in-home consultation, where you choose all your materials in the comfort of your home and receive on the spot a firm estimate so you know exactly what to expect. Their polite, professional installers arrive on time and clean up after themselves. All work and materials are backed by a robust Lifetime Warranty. No wonder American Wood Reface has won the “Favorite Cabinet Company” poll in Hilton Head for the last three years in a row! n

A mericA’ s F inest s olid Wood r e FAc i ng & c ustom c Abinetry Superior Quality • Completed in leSS than a Week!

A superlative refacing job starts with quality materials. American Wood reface uses premium 1/4" solid hardwood facing and custom-crafted solid wood components to transform your kitchen in less than one week, saving you time, money and hassle!

components are built by our highly skilled amish craftsmen using time-honored techniques, such as mortise-andtenon, and dovetail joinery.

our 1/4" solid wood facing is far superior to thin laminates or veneers used by other refacers.

Today’s Reverse Mortgage Provided by Mark Brittman, Reverse Mortgage Specialist, Coastal States Bank It may surprise you to learn that reverse mortgages have been available since 1961. The formal name of this program is a Home Equity Conversion Mortgage or HECM. Individuals 62 years of age or older can use a reverse mortgage to access the equity in their current home or even purchase a new home without having ongoing mortgage payments. Reverse borrowers are only required to maintain the home and pay the taxes, insurance, and any homeowners association fees as they come due. There is no requirement to repay the loan until the borrower no longer occupies the home. Funds can be taken in a combination of ways. Options include a lump sum at closing, a line of credit which can be accessed when need, or an annuity payment.

One of the most beneficial features of a reverse mortgage is that they are “non-recourse” - the homeowner does not have to pay back any balance if it is more than the value of the home. HUD insures these loans and makes this feature possible. I am not aware of any other mortgage related product available today that can offer this feature. In conclusion, reverse mortgages can be a perfect vehicle for seniors to protect against outliving their assets and can allow them to remain in their homes indefinitely. If you are seriously considering a reverse mortgage, I urge you to meet with a qualified mortgage professional who will explain all the fees and terms in detail so that you can make an informed decision.

Protect Sea Turtles and Preserve Your View Hilton Head Island has long had guidelines for lighting inside homes that have windows facing the beach. These guidelines, from May to October, state that the windows should not have light shining out toward the beach from 10pm - 6 am. There are proposed changes to the current ordinances which date from 1990, which will include no light shining out from first and second story windows and any outdoor porch and swimming pool lights need to be changed to red, orange or amber. All windows and doors facing the beach will need to have tinting or window treatments allowing only 20% of the light to be transmitted toward the beach. When sea turtle nests hatch , the emerging baby turtles go toward the light. In nature, that light is the moon shining on the ocean. When artificial light from homes nearby shines on the beach the baby turtles will go toward these lights (in the wrong direction) and often die from dehydration or exhaustion, or drown in pools, get hit by cars or taken by predators. When choosing window treatments that conform to the guidelines set by the town there are a number of choices that can work. Roller Shades are a great choice and they “disappear” really well. By rolling up into a cassette, especially if you coordinate color to your window trim they are very unobtrusive. Honeycomb shades are also a great option. They not only have a small profile when open, they also have great insulating properties so you can save on utilities, and conform to the new rules as well. Draperies, with blackout lining, that draw back off the window when open are a beautiful alternative that also add a softening decorative feature to a room. They can be as subtle as the wall color or make a great decorative impact with the pattern and color.

Cost-Efficient Heating for your Pool Provided by Year Round Pool Many pool owners tell us that they really enjoy the experience of a warm pool, but the cost of heating a pool can be significant even with a highly efficient system like a Heat Pump Pool Heater (HPPH). Here are six methods that will help. Each pool environment is different, and while the value of each method is universal, they are not all universally applicable to a particular pool. 1 | Solar heating is essentially free (there are some small increases in the cost to pump the water through the large solar panels, but it is minimal). The downside of solar is that it rarely meets the needs for a full season of heating demand, or it fails to provide heat fast enough or when the sun isn’t shining. But when solar is available and you have the budget to purchase a solar system with a Heat Pump Pool Heater backup, you can have the best, most economical system available. 2 | If you have a Heat Pump Pool Heater (HPPH) system only, the time of day that you run your

HPPH is a system operation parameter you should address. HPPH’s get their heat from the air. So, logically, the best time to run a HPPH is when the air temperature is at its warmest. As long as your filtration is running at the warmest time of the day, your HPPH will operate at its optimum Coefficiency of Performance (COP). COP is the measure of energy output divided by energy input. 3 | And speaking of COP…the COP is the efficiency rating of the HPPH. As mentioned in item 2, this measure of efficiency changes as the air temperature changes. The unit is more efficient the warmer the air temperature. Another aspect of COP to consider the overall COP rating as applied to the individual model of HPPH you purchase. Not all HPPHs are created equal. If we do a comparison of HPPHs and assume all have the same heating capacity, or BTUh, you will find a variety of COP ratings available on the market. The higher the COP rating, the more efficient the HPPH will be. The percentage difference between one COP rating and another will equate to the percentage savings available between the lower and higher rated COP heater. This means you should buy the highest COP-rated unit your budget allows while making sure the model you select has the capacity, or BTUh, to meet your heating demand. Your Pool Professional can help you with this decision process. 4 | Controlling evaporation. Heat loss on any pool, heated by any means, is primarily driven by evaporation from the surface of the pool. Upwards

of 75% of heat loss is through this method. So controlling that evaporative loss is key to reducing heating cost. There are three types of blankets that can help control evaporation: Solid, Floating and Liquid. The Liquid blanket is easy to use, and is inexpensive, but also carries the lowest level of effectiveness. 5 | Wind at the surface of the pool creates ripples or small waves on the surface of the pool ultimately accelerating evaporation. So, creating a pool environment that is shielded from wind will greatly help reduce heating cost. 6 | The last method is the pool temperature set point. The warmer you heat your pool water, the more it will cost to keep it warm. Each degree rise in temperature can equate to an approximate 1518% increase in operation cost. So, while an 88°F pool is nice and toasty warm, it will cost a lot more to maintain than a pool that is held at 85°F. There is nothing better than a warm pool. These are some tried and true ways to help keep that cost to a minimum. For more information about heat pumps, please call our Customer Service at 800.878.0998.

Invest in wellness with a Hot Tub Provided by Year Round Pool A high-quality hot tub can improve your life in ways you may not have considered before. Hot tubs bring families closer together while helping to connect with the world around us. Incorporating hot tub usage into your daily routine can also help improve your general well-being. Regular spa use might also reduce stress, ease pain, improve the quality of your sleep, and increase flexibility. IMPROVED RANGE OF MOTION As we age, we lose our range of motion. Through regular usage, your hot tub can help you restore lost flexibility and slow the natural stiffening that comes with age. The warm water of a spa creates hydrostatic pressure—the pressure caused by the weight of fluids—on the body. This reduces joint inflammation, which in turn aids mobility. RELIEF FROM ARTHRITIS SYMPTOMS Spending time in your hot tub may provide temporary relief from arthritic joint pain. In a controlled study examining the effects of spa therapy on patients with severe osteoarthritis, researchers found significant reduction in pain

after just two weeks. In fact, patients undergoing spa therapy experienced less pain than those undergoing drug therapy at the same time. Likewise, a study of patients with rheumatoid arthritis demonstrated that hydrotherapy reduced pain, tension, and joint tenderness. RELIEF FROM FIBROMYALGIA SYPTOMS Fibromyalgia is a disorder involving chronic pain and fatigue throughout the body, often resulting in disturbed sleep and an impaired ability to concentrate. It can cause disruptions at work and at home. A study of the effects of hydrotherapy on fibromyalgia patients showed marked benefits. Following a course of hydrotherapy treatment, patients reported improvements in physical functionality, sleep quality, and the ability to do their jobs, accompanied by a reduction in pain intensity, fatigue, stiffness, anxiety, and depression. RELIEF FROM LOWER BACK PAIN According to one estimate, 80% of all Americans will suffer from lower back pain at some point. It can make performing everyday activities a difficult and painful challenge. In multiple studies, people living with chronic back pain who underwent hydrotherapy treatment, either on its own or in combination with other treatments, saw a reduction in their symptoms. While these studies do indicate the positive effects of hydrotherapy, they do not replace the advice of a doctor. DECREASED ANXIETY AND STRESS Time spent in a hot tub encourages stress-free

relaxation. Before you leave for work in the morning, soaking in your spa for fifteen or twenty minutes can help you begin your day feeling rested and focused. At night, it can help you unwind and leave the stresses of the day behind you. Controlled studies have shown that the use of hydrotherapy can lead to an improved psychological and emotional state. BETTER SLEEP Lack of sleep can increase feelings of stress and anxiety reducing your ability to be productive. This can become a vicious cycle, as these same negative feelings can cause or aggravate many sleep disorders. Using your hot tub on a regular basis can break that cycle and help you get to sleep. EASES SORE MUSCLES If you suffer from sore or aching muscles, a hot tub can help. The hot water and massage jets release tension and knead the toxins from your muscle fibers. Buoyancy takes the pressure off your legs, feet and back, helping you work out the knots. Regular soaks in your spa can improve your health and overall well-being. In order to fully experience these benefits, it’s important to choose the right hot tub. A hot tub that doesn’t work properly, requires constant repairs, or uses energy inefficiently may add more stress to your life than it reduces. It’s best to invest in a quality, worry-free hot tub that you can enjoy for years to come. For more information about hot tubs, please call Year Round Pool at (843) 837-7665.

Protect Your Investment Most people agree, it is very important to minimize costs wherever possible. Insurance is one of your most controllable expenses. By implementing the ideas of Risk Management in addition to traditional insurance, we can help you maximize needed insurance protection while minimizing your insurance costs. Because everyone’s needs are not the same, it is best to consult your agent to help assess your needs and find the insurance policy that is right for you, but here are a few things you should know about Homeowners insurance: • Homeowners insurance is a package policy. This means that it covers both damage to your property and your liability or legal responsibility for any injuries and property damage you or members of your family cause to other people. This includes damage caused by household pets. • Homeowners insurance provides financial protection against disasters. A standard policy insures the home itself and the things you keep in it. • Damage caused by most disasters is covered but there are exceptions. One of those exceptions is damage caused by flood. You must buy a separate policy for flood.

An Old World look with modern technology

Provided by Savannah Surfaces Southern architecture is steeped in tradition. Features like wide porches, tall windows and high ceilings are remnants of a time when air circulation was key to staying cool, but these elements can still

be found in modern designs. In the same way, building materials have transcended time. Plank siding, Savannah brick, wood floors and tabby surfaces are traditional materials that can still be found in many modern coastal homes. Traditional tabby, also known as “coastal concrete,” is a mix of lime, sand and water and is primarily found in communities along the Southern Atlantic coast. Commonly used during colonial days because of its sturdiness and resilience to humidity, the lime portion of the recipe was often acquired by burning and crushing oyster shells. This is why tabby contains the shell pieces that give it a unique appearance. In a nod to this classic Southern material, Savannah Surfaces now offers a durable paver that showcases the beauty of tabby. Old World Tabby combines natural shell products with modern technology to create a beautiful, unique paving stone. It is offered in both a hand-made concrete version and a porcelain version. Available in three coastal colors, these pavers are an ideal surface solution for pool decks, patios, porches, and architectural

elements. Old World Tabby is an exclusive, one of a kind paver. The pavers are available in 3/4” for mortar set sand set, gravel set or grass set applications. The concrete version is available in 1-1/4” and 2” with 2” coping.

The big benefits of propane The environment is an important topic that has taken center stage in communities on a global level. As we struggle to find better ways to care for the planet, fuel sources have come under scrutiny for ways to limit its footprint on the earth. One solution is to replace conventional fuels with alternative, cleaner fuels that also reduce our dependency on imports. Propane is rapidly establishing itself as an important alternative fuel with environmental benefits and a practical cost advantage over gasoline, diesel and other fuels. Propane is an approved, alternative clean fuel listed in the 1990 Clean Air Act. It burns cleaner than any other fossil fuel. Propane does not contaminate groundwater or soil, and it has a low carbon content, producing minimal emissions. When propane is derived as a by-product of natural

gas production, it reduces petroleum use between 98 and 99 percent. If you’re interested in maintaining an environmentally friendly home, propane is a powerful solution. Here are some more reasons to enjoy propane in your home: PROPANE IS A SAFE ENERGY PICK Propane has a remarkable safety record. Home tanks are usually buried well beyond the natural gas main and are 20 times more puncture resistant than those used for other fuels. An odorant is added to propane so you can easily tell if there does happen to be a leak, and a CO detector can easily alert you if your appliances have produced high levels of carbon monoxide. MONEY SAVER Propane is an affordable alternative to electric appliances. Heating your water will propane rather than electricity will

save you 30 percent a year. A propane clothes dryer is 50 percent more efficient than its electric counterpart. A tankless propane water heater can have an efficiency level as high as 94 percent. VERSATILITY Grills have long been a staple of backyards across the country, and there may be nothing better than grilling in the great outdoors with the same temperature control and easy on-off capabilities found indoors on your gas range. While most people associate propane with grilling year round, it is also useful for home heating and powering many household appliances. Fireplaces, water heaters, clothes dryers, ranges, ovens and patio heaters can all run off propane.
