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.

24

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+

HOME TIP

Metal Roofing takes the Lead Metal roofing is not new, but it is gaining in popularity across the U.S. Studies show the demand for metal roofing is steadily increasing as homeowners discover the variety of color and style options as well as the long term benefits of a metal roof. And,

Provided by 4M Metals

as homeowners look for ways to reduce environmental impact, metal roofing stands out as a logical choice.

Here are some other trends that are driving the growing popularity of metal roofs:

DESIGN AESTHETICS: Metal roofs are available in a wide range of colors and styles, including options that can mimic slate, clay tile and even wood shakes and asphalt, all while providing the longterm, low-maintenance performance and protection of metal. A metal roof also compliments a wide range of architectural styles.

EFFICIENCY: Many people don’t realize that a metal roof is more energy efficient than an asphalt roof. Most metal roofing finishes are EnergyStar rated, signifiying the panels will reflect rather than absorb heat. This can reduce energy costs by keeping your home cooler in the summer.

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 winds up to 145 mph, severe storms and hail. Many insurances companies provide discounts on homes that have a qualified metal roofing system.

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

Let 4M Metals be the difference in your roof!

LONGEVITY: A metal roof can last two to three times longer than an asphalt roof, possibly a lifetime.

GREEN PRODUCT: Metal roofing is made of recyclable materials and is fully recyclable after its duration.

Fortunately, the folks at More Space Place have been figuring out how to organize your stuff since 2003; and they have some great ideas.

With more people working and dining at home, it can be challenging to store all the stuff required for various activities from office work to schoolwork. No one wants to be overwhelmed by clutter all day, so getting organized and implementing dedicated storage solutions can keep everyone on track.

Garage Cabinets come in all sizes to give you the space you need to store all your stuff! Ceiling racks provide space for large containers of holiday decorations, camping and sports gear, kayaks, and lawn equipment.

Many homeowners are having to turn the extra guest bedroom into an office or dual-purpose room. By replacing the bed that is used only a few times a year with a Murphy bed or Wall bed, you can still use the room for visiting guests while gaining an open space for a home office, craft room, classroom or man cave. It can even be used for Yoga or exercise to keep tension at bay.

What ever you want. It’s your space.

The best news is modular cabinetry is now available in hundreds of colors and a variety of styles. Cabinets are available in all shapes and sizes to truly customize the room to fit your desired wants and needs.

reflect light, create one-of-a-kind backsplashes, walls, floors, showers, and exterior spaces.

HOME TIP

Roofs For Custom Luxury Homes

Provided by A&C Exteriors

You’ve commissioned a top-level contractor to build your exquisite new home. Picking out elements that stand out the most is paramount. Upon arrival at your house, the roof is one of the first things people see. Roughly 80% of homes in America have asphalt composition roofs. If you’re looking for something special, other options are worthy of consideration, and A&C Exteriors can expertly install any roof you choose.

Some options you may want to consider are: • • • •

Standing Seam Copper or Steel Cedar Shake Organic Clay Tile Slate

Standing seam copper roofs are beautiful and durable. As they age, they form a green patina that no other product can mimic. They have been used

for hundreds of years and are on some of the most distinctive buildings in the world. Standing seam steel roofs are also precious, durable, and won’t turn green over the years.

Cedar shake roofs are beautiful but require more maintenance than most other roofing materials. They have to be treated regularly for fire resistance and wood rot. They offer a Cape Codstyle look that lasts 30-40 years if appropriately maintained. Stamped metal and composition asphalt shingle products mimic the style without nearly as much maintenance and at a lower cost.

Organic clay tile is used heavily in Mediterranean and Southwesternstyle homes. It offers a unique look and can last 30-60 years with proper maintenance. This style is also available in composition asphalt shingles and

stamped metal for a budget-friendly option.

Slate is the most distinctive, stunning roofing product on the market. Its beauty and durability speak volumes in the custom home world. Slate is at the top of the list if you’re looking for the most luxurious, impressive roof. A slate roof is desired by many and envied by most.

Call A&C Exteriors for more recommendations and help to decide on the best roof for your new exquisite home. We’ll ensure you find the custom roof your new luxury home deserves!

Reimagine your home’s exterior with our exceptional building team

Whether you are a builder in need of a helping hand, or you are a private homeowner and have your own vision for your new exterior, we can help. We can also advise on exterior building projects. From a brand new roof, a fully customized, stylish looking porch to updating the sides of your property and installing smart doors and windows, we can make your home look simply breathtaking! You can also rely on us to finish your project to our own, meticulous standards.

Amazing Insect Facts

by Brian DeChirico, General Manager, Hilton Head Exterminators Our part of the country is not that much different than any other part of the world.

Insects live everywhere…except the polar ice caps. Insects are fine until they invade your living space. Here are some amazing, and perhaps somewhat troubling, facts about insects:

• Houseflies can see behind them. Their compound eyes allow them to process visual information seven times faster than humans.

• There are more insects in one square mile of empty field than there are people in the world.

• Bed bug hatchlings are so small they can pass through a stitch hole in a mattress.

• Termites cause more damage to homes each year than all fires, floods, and storms combined.

• Only female mosquitoes bite humans.

• When a queen ant dies, the colony can’t survive for more than a few months because worker ants can’t reproduce.

• Ants can carry around 50 times their own weight which is the equivalent of an average man carrying 8,000 pounds.

• Cockroaches can hold their breath up to 40 minutes, can live nearly a month without food, and they can live two weeks after being decapitated.

• Mosquitoes are the deadliest animal on Earth due to the diseases they spread, killing nearly 1 million people per year.

• Fleas can jump 50 times their height.

That is the equivalent of human with a vertical leap of 300 feet.

• Cockroaches can run 50 body lengths per second. That’s the equivalent of a person running 140mph.

• Subterranean Termites never sleep. All they do is eat, and they produce over 120 tons of methane each year.

• Bed bugs can ingest seven times their own weight in blood. That’s the

equivalent of a person drinking 120 gallons of liquid.

• Female rats can produce as many as 84 offspring per year. Newborn rats reach sexual maturity in as little as three months.

• Mosquitoes can spot their next meal from over 160 feet away.

• Houseflies taste with their feet.

The bad news is all of these insects live all around us. The good news is they can be controlled. Insects around us are fine.

When they come indoors insects take on another name: pests. Properly controlling insects can free homeowners from having to learn amazing bug facts the hard way.

Hilton Head Exterminators specializes in keeping insects in their habitat rather than invading yours. They’ve been keeping insects from becoming pests since 1968.

Pest Control Tips for Homeowners

by Trezza Termite & Pest Control Buying and building a new home can be a very exciting, but often stressful process.

Homeowners are often confronted with such an overwhelming list of important details and decisions regarding financing, inspections, and moving dates, that pest control considerations can fall through the cracks as easily as insects can crawl through them. Our experts at Trezza Termite & Pest Control have compiled some of the most important pest control considerations for homeowners to best protect their investments:

Windows – Check that windows are closed AND latched. Your latching/locking mechanisms press the window into place and create a seal that protects your home.

Physically attempt to lift the window, even if the locking mechanism appears to be properly sealed. Without proper latching, you may be unknowingly disarming your home and family to invasive pests.

landscaping often presents problems for homeowners. When vegetation comes Moisture Control – Moisture and insects go hand-in-hand. Whether termites, into contact with your home’s structure, it roaches, mosquitos, or ants, moisture control acts as a “bridge” for insects and rodents, allowing them to bypass most control is a critical part of every pest prevention measures. Dense vegetation also acts as a program. Simple steps to control moisture barrier for sunlight and breeze that help keep make a huge impact, including sprinkler conditions dry.

As your local window covering expert we specialize in interior window treatments, awnings, retractable screens, and storm protection.

Breaking up room design with textures, pattern and shade design.

We are seeing more homes choosing to use their windows as a way to break up a monotonous designed space. Many are choosing to add patterns and color with custom designed roman shades. If color or pattern isn’t your thing, you can keep the colors in the same design for the room use a textured shade. Woven woods and honeycombs are great for this. The shades have so much texture because of their design that it’s perfect for a home.

Treat your exterior to a facelift.

Don’t neglect your exterior! Curb appeal is very important for the property value of you and your neighbors homes. We are seeing the biggest trends in retractable awnings and bahama shutters. People are loving the cooling benefits of these products.

Retractable awnings can cool your outdoor entertainment areas by twenty degrees! A great way to enjoy and utilize

more of your home year round with an awning. Upgrade your awning fit with features such as wind and sun sensors to automate retracting and deploying your awning. Retractable awnings can go up to forty foot wide and a fifteen foot projection.

Bahama shutters are a great option offering the island charm great for the lowcountry aesthetic. Bahama shutters are the triple threat offering privacy, shade for your indoors, and a pleasing design for your exterior. Upgrade your shutters with articulating louvers letting you fully open or close them all the way.You can also elect to have the arms of the shutters be operating or fixed for your perfect home.

We are also seeing more exterior retractable screens being installed in the area. Retractable screens are perfect to add some additional UV ray protection to your outdoor area without losing your view. With the lowest opening factor you can see 98% UV ray blockage; however the most common openness factor is 5% giving you the balanced viewing and UV block at 95%. These options are a great way to make your outdoor areas feel even better during the summer months.

Energy Efficient Options & Automation. We are all about making our homes the most efficient we can. Many of

the homeowners we talk to have 3 main objectives: privacy, cost, and hassle free options. Well we can solve this one shade and one lift mechanism. We are seeing honeycomb shades becoming increasingly popular for their energy efficient ratings.

The design of the shade creates insulating pockets trapping air so your home stays cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Some have reported saving money on their electric bill too! Speaking of saving, some honeycomb shades and fabrics qualify for a tax credit. Who doesn’t love extra money at tax season?!

Other customers are choosing to automate. Say goodbye to remembering to open or close your shades through the day.

With motorized shades, you can set scenes and times for your shades to operate without it even being a thought to you.

Too advanced? Settle for a remote to open or close all your shades.

We hope these few trending topics give you some ideas to elevate your windowscapes this year. If you are ready to look into options let us give you the best window covering experience in the lowcountry.

Keep Outside Weather Where it Belongs

by Armor Building Solutions

Living in the Lowcountry is a blessing, but it can also be a curse.

If you relocated from a place location with a colder climate, you most likely appreciate the pleasant weather and sunny skies. There are probably times, especially during the warmer months, when you would prefer to keep the elements outside. Here, we highlight some of the challenges of Lowcountry living, and solutions to improve upon these challenges. Our goal is to make your home comfortable and safe for all seasons, so you can enjoy your Lowcountry home year-round.

VINYL WEATHER CURTAINS

You can always tell Spring is around the corner when you start to notice a yellow-green film on everything outside. Not only does pollen wreak havoc on your allergies, but it also likes to cover your home in all its green glory. This is especially troubling if you have a porch that you entertain or relax on with your family. An excellent way to keep pollen from your porch is by installing Vinyl Weather Curtains with clear windows. These curtains keep your porch comfortable, free from pollen, rain, and wind – and don’t impede your view.

through November of every year. Fortunately, there are several solutions available to help mitigate the threat and keep your home and family safe. Some of these include motorized and hand-operated roll downs, aluminum and fabric, storm panels, fabric panels, accordion shutters, and storm-rated colonials and Bahama shutters.

Each of these options offers protection from damaging winds and projectiles, ultimately keeping your home safe from catastrophic damage.

SCREENING

Your house is not only your largest investment - it’s your home.

You want to enjoy it and protect it from damage. Fortunately, Armor Building Solutions offers many options to protect your home and keep the outside where it belongs. Not only are we able to provide a wide range of storm protection solutions, but we also offer screening, vinyl curtains, colonial shutters (both storm-rated and traditional), and more. Best of all, Armor’s products are locally manufactured right here in the Lowcountry ensuring they are the highest quality possible.

Another famous fact about the South in the Spring and Summer?

Insects. From flies to love bugs to the dreaded no-see-ums, nothing can make relaxing on your porch more unbearable than these flying nuisances. The perfect solution to this problem is to install no-seeum screening on your porch. There are several options to choose from when it comes to screening; retractable screens, screen-under to your existing porch, and screen enclosures, which are especially great if you have a pool.

STORM PROTECTION

Of course, living in the Lowcountry also means being safe and prepared throughout hurricane season which runs from May

HOME TIP

Window Treatments – No, They Won’t Ruin Your View Having moved to the Lowcountry from the New York Metro area one thing stood out working with clients.

When discussing window treatments, everyone always repeated “I want to preserve my view”. Whether the room in question overlooked a marsh, golf course, wooded area or ocean, it is always the same litany, “Do not ruin my view”.

Having shopped for real estate myself, I remembered every Realtor mentioning the view before the other features of the property itself. This home, lot, etc, is desirable because of the view.

I do very much enjoy the beautiful place where we live, however, a room rarely feels finished without window treatments. Not just the functional type: plantation shutters, blinds or shades, but also “dressed” with fabric. The functional part of window treatments for privacy, light and glare control, and energy savings is completely necessary. The true “finishing touch” is the “pretty” part from a simple solid linen panel framing the view to a more formal treatment to emphasize the architecture, antiques and finishing of the space.

This “pretty” part also has a function. The soft treatments absorb sound and create intimacy in a space. So many of us have wood or stone floors and the echo factor is greatly softened with the fabric, lining, and interlining. The color and pattern add visual warmth and the overall space has a complete and finished look.

In short, your entire rooms’ décor and your view can work

hand in hand to give your home a polished, complete and cohesive look.

HOME TIP

What to know before building your custom home Provided by Coastal States Mortgage

Y

ou’ve decided on the perfect location to build your dream home. Now what’s next? Before you start digging into dirt, know what to expect when it comes to financing your custom home. Here are 3 questions to ask before you start your build: When should I talk to my lender?

There are many benefits to speaking with a lender early. Understanding how much money you’re approved for will help define your budget when you meet with your builder to plan your home’s features and amenities. Furthermore, most lenders require that you close on your loan prior to breaking ground, with most

construction-to-permanent loans taking 30-45 days to close. So, talk to your lender early in the homebuilding process to discuss your preferred budget and timing.

What should I expect during the construction-to-permanent loan process?

From loan closing to construction to modifying your construction-topermanent loan, know the process. Before you get started on your build, reach out to your lender to understand each stage of the lending process, what’s required to get approved for a construction-topermanent loan, and the terms to paying off your loan. If your build takes longer than expected, you will need to know what your lender will require regarding payment.

Is my loan really a construction-topermanent loan?

Some lenders will require additional underwriting before modifying your loan.

This means another round of document collection prior to modifying your loan and possibly a new rate. With a true onetime close construction-to-permanent loan, you’ll avoid going through the loan process again after your build. Be sure to ask your lender if your construction-topermanent loan will require additional underwriting and another rate lock.

Don’t shy away from asking questions to understand the financing for your new custom construction. It will help for a smooth process between you, your lender, and your builder – all with the common goal of getting you into your dream home.

HOME TIP

Saving money is really a byproduct 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. More than 60,000 Beat

the Peak participants throughout the state of South Carolina have helped save a projected $848,000 in wholesale power costs.

For years, Palmetto Electric Cooperative members have had access to H2O Select, an electric water heater program that saves members money 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.

In a similar way, the Smart Thermostat program helps members save by allowing Palmetto Electric to adjust your thermostat during peak energy periods. After enrolling, members will receive a FREE smart thermostat with FREE standard installation and could be eligible for Smart Rewards bill credits.

Smart thermostats are designed to ensure that your home is at a specific temperature when it needs to be and eliminates 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 a 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 usage.

• SAVE: The thermostat adjusts when you’re not home. The thermostat also adjusts for a few degrees during peak periods. During energy saving 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 could be eligible for Smart Rewards bill credits.

5 Things to Know About Home Ceiling Fans Ceiling Fans Can Help You Save Energy: Ceiling fans can help reduce

your energy bills by circulating the air in your home and reducing the need for air conditioning or heating. By running your ceiling fan on a low setting, you can make your home feel more comfortable while using less energy.

Ceiling Fans Come in Different Sizes: When choosing a ceiling fan for your home, it’s important to consider the size of the room. A fan that is too small will not circulate air effectively, while a fan that is too large may be overpowering. Measure the room’s square footage and choose a fan size that fits the space.

Ceiling Fans Can Be Used All Year Round: Most ceiling fans have

a reverse function that allows you to switch the direction of the blades. By running your fan in reverse, you can circulate warm air that rises to the

ceiling during the winter months, helping to keep your home warm and cozy.

Ceiling Fans Need to be Installed Correctly: Installing a ceiling fan can

be tricky, so it’s important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully.

If you’re not comfortable doing it yourself, consider hiring a professional to install the fan for you.

Ceiling Fans Require Maintenance: Like any appliance,

ceiling fans require regular maintenance to keep them running smoothly. Dust and dirt can accumulate on the blades, which can affect their performance. Make sure to clean your fan blades regularly and check the motor and other components for wear and tear.

“Since 1979, Dan’s Fan City has been America’s Largest Independent Ceiling

Fan Retailer. We manufacture our own brand of ceiling fans under the Gulf Coast Fans and TroposAir brand and they are sold through our 30-corporately owned retail locations, 10-independently owned & operated dealer locations. We carry 1,000’s of combinations of fans and lights for inside and outside use. Most items are in-stock or available within a week. We also offer free in-store service on all items purchased.

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 15-18% 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.

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 wellbeing. 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 The hot water and massage jets in a hot tub 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 without added stress, it’s important to invest in a quality, worry-free hot tub that you can enjoy for years to come.

Whether you are looking to massage those aching muscles after a stressful day, just soak your aching bones or just spend relaxing time with loved ones…do yourself a favor and stop in to see the world number one selling Freshwater Salt spas at Year Round Pool.

5 Gorgeous Beach House Decorating Ideas for 2023 How to Decorate a Coastal Cottage ARTICLE & PHOTOS PROVIDED BY LOOMLAN FURNITURE

Since coastal life differs from place to place, there are actually many different types of coastal interior design styles.

There’s the Mediterranean style that makes use of that bold, pop of colors so prevalent in Mediterranean cultures. Then

there’s the tropical style which includes plenty of greenery and foliage. In this article, we’re going to explore 5 different beach house decorating ideas that you can use to design the coastal home of your dreams.

Bright and Beautiful

If you’ve dabbled a bit in studying various interior design styles, you may be aware that colors like white are quite widely used due to how wonderfully well they complement other shades. The coastal style does keep that factor in mind but it is more focused on using colors that help it look bright and radiant. A big part of coastal life is about embracing the radiance each day presents, whether you’re at home or out enjoying the sun. Bright environments tend to somehow improve the mood and that’s probably one of the reasons why the coastal style is considered so refreshing. All in all, it’s a foolproof way to design a happy setting.

Give the Eyes Some Viewing Distance

The one thing that you should keep in mind when you’re decorating beach cottage homes is that these spaces are meant to be open. Regular homes in the city are small, four-walled spaces that box everything and everyone within them. This is great to create a cozy atmosphere but just like the sea, coastal homes are made to invoke a sense of freedom.

You will see many coastal homes try to minimize the use of walls to divide spaces and instead opt for sectionals. It is not an open layout per se but somewhere in the middle of that and a closed plan. Then there is the idea of designing according to the scenic views outside. Most regular homes don’t have much going on for them in terms of views outside the home but seaside houses have such an edge in this department that you should 100% take advantage of it and design accordingly to let those views be visible from the house.

Sea Motifs Best Done Subtly

There’s a big debate between coastal interior designers regarding the use of sea motifs within the home as beach cottage decor. Sea motifs are basically decor items that invoke the feeling of the sea and the beach. On paper, it sounds like a great idea to have something like that in your coastal home but too often it’s done in a manner that looks either cliche or tacky. Here’s our take on it–sea motifs are great but nail the basic first. Make your house’s overall structure look like a coastal home and then add whatever sea motif you like in moderation. By doing this, your seaside home will look a lot more sophisticated and authentic. It also pays to personalize it with other decor items. After all, your home is meant to reflect your personality primarily.

Uncluttered But Not Minimalist

Just like white is used in a lot of different interior design styles, you will also see the practice of creating uncluttered spaces. This is certainly true for styles like the Scandinavian and the Modern that were inspired by Bauhaus and minimalist principles where form follows function. The coastal style is quite clearly uncluttered but it is not because of minimalism.

These homes are uncluttered because their function is to provide an open space where it’s easy to relax. Since clutter tends to make most people subconsciously feel a little restless, it’s important to not hoard furniture in coastal homes. You most certainly can keep items that don’t serve any utilitarian purpose, which is why it is not a minimalist style.

A Sense of Being Carefree

Whether you use your seaside home as a holiday cottage or as a permanent residence, we’re sure you’ll agree that it feels liberating to live in a place so close to the sea. No matter what time it may be, you can always head out to the short. There’s a sense of being carefree, and that’s really the main essence of coastal life. And a big part of being carefree is not having to worry about your expensive belongings. So, when you’re decorating beach cottage homes, the best type of cottage beach decor is furniture that is durable and long-lasting. Invest in items that can handle all the abuse that you and nature will throw its way.

Ready to Sell!

Boost your home’s marketability with a few updates and a good realtor.

Are you ready to make the transition to a new home? Or at least take a few steps to get there? If so, you’ll need to think about selling your current property, and you’re probably hoping to get the best price possible.

Renovations can be a great value booster. The right changes appeal to buyers and help you make a great return on your investment.

Here are four ways to renovate before selling.

FRESH PAINT JOB: A new coat of paint is one of the most affordable renovations — and you can even do it yourself. Uplifting colors, like taupe or soft teal, can make a room look brighter. The more neutral the area, the easier it is for buyers to picture themselves living there.

COUNTERTOPS AND LIGHT FIXTURES: If you want to make your home look new without undergoing a full remodel, updating the countertops and light fixtures can work wonders.

Similar to paint colors, it’s best to stick with simple styles.

BREAK-EVEN REMODEL: Did you know the kitchen and bathrooms are the most important parts of the house?

To interest buyers, consider a breakeven remodel in these lived-in spaces. If the cabinets and floors are outdated, try low-cost upgrades (like new hardware) so the rooms look more modern.

out the latest trends in home design.

Choosing improvements based on what’s popular can help your house stand out to buyers — both online and in person.

Preparing your home to sell is easier with an experienced professional in your corner. To learn more about value-adding renovations, selling your property or to start looking for a new property in Beaufort County, get in touch with a local Realtor who understands the market.
