Traton Homes office to host cotillion and etiquette classes.

Those living in the Cobb County new homes near the Traton Homes office at the corner of Tower Road and Kennesaw Avenue are about to have access to a new class. That’s because Marietta resident, Catherine Sanders, is choosing our offices as the location to hold her cotillion and etiquette classes.

Classes begin in September and go through April, and are designed to teach students in the sixth, seventh and eighth grades manners and character as well as how to interact in certain social situations. It’s a service that was missing in the Marietta area and one that is getting a little help from a big supporter, Google.

Google in partnership with Intuit Sitebuilder is offering Georgia businesses a free website, free online tools, training and resources to help give local businesses an online presence. The Social Class is a participating business, and has recently introduced its new website. If you too have a local business that is in need of a website, then you can still get a free website, domain name and web hosting for one year by visiting the Georgia Get Your Business Online website.

Traton Homes Providence Home Plan

Providence Home Plan at Paper Chase Farm

You’ve turned your clocks forward, so that means it’s time to take advantage of the extra sunshine and warmer temperatures, and give your home the TLC it’s been missing over the winter months. Before the spring rains, warmer weather and bugs hit, there are a few easy things you should do for your Atlanta home to keep it energy efficient and performing at and looking its best. As a top Atlanta home builder, we know just what you need to do to keep your home in tip top shape, and we’ve offered some suggestions below:

  • The last thing you want to happen is to finally crank on the A/C next month – when that first surprisingly warm Atlanta weekend hits – only to find nothing come on and it’ll be a week before you can get a repairman to the house. Get your air conditioner checked out by a qualified HVAC contractor now to make sure that the system is running efficiently. Before the contractor comes out, you can do a little maintenance on your own by suctioning out any debris from your condensation line with a wet vac. Read More→
