When Lindsey and Kory Rykman opened their first Allstate agency in 2013, they had no idea they were destined to become the most successful agency in the company. However, that is what happens when you take customer service seriously. Having been awarded the 2023 Best in Company Award, The Rykman Insurance Group have become the ‘go to” insurance agency in Marietta and the surrounding areas.
The Rykman’s also know how important adequate insurance is first hand, as they have a home flipping business and like to make sure their properties are properly insured. Having flipped roughly fifteen homes a year with his partners, Mr. Rykman has learned that a home, its property and its valuable contents need to be protected. Mr. Rykman states, “Many people may not fully understand what they are paying for when it comes to home insurance. We really focus on customer service and retention. If we need to comb through every bit of a policy so that the client has more clarity on exactly what they are paying for, we are happy to do so. Umbrella policies are also important and higher net worth individuals need to make sure they are properly covered for their unique situation. Likewise, with the cost of everything rising, the client needs to be confident they are adequately insured”.
The Rykman Insurance Group can guide you through all your insurance needs, whether it be your home, car or an umbrella policy covering it all. With expertise, experience and a great team behind them, The Rykman Insurance Group is here to ensure you are correctly insured.

To say that Atlanta Bed Swings is a unique company is an understatement in more ways than one. In fact, the idea for the company came out of necessity. When tragedy struck with a house fire in 2012, The Tice Family became homeless for a time. It was then, from an 800 square-foot home set in the woods, that the family launched Atlanta Bed Swings in an effort to start over with dreams of a new home. “Creating a living for our family to meet basic needs launched our company that is now a fabulous business as well as a true luxury product”, says Erin Tice.
Atlanta Bed Swings became a family affair with Mike and Erin’s son, Tyler taking care of website development, as well as attending sales appointments with Mike. Their youngest son, Jacob also became an installer and has installed over 500 bed swings in the Southeast. Likewise, their son Michael worked as the lead painter for three years, completing over 900 orders.
Innovation is at the forefront of Atlanta Bed Swings with the invention of their Never Stretch Rope. Erin reveals, “Traditional bed swings hung with thick manila ropes stretch six to nine inches in the first year. They also have to be replaced every four to seven years for integrity. Ropes on a bed swing need to be re-leveled rather often as well. Our Never Stretch Rope is created with a stainless steel addition, so homeowners keep the look and texture without the maintenance.”
Look out for the much anticipated re-opening of their Virtual Showroom in 2025. Here, a customer can enter an unmanned space with a door code, speak to a virtual representative and complete their order. There are also two new frame styles that launched in February, so look out for those new additions. Make sure you visit Atlanta Bed Swings at the Westside Market in Roswell and view all of their exciting designs and products.

The exterior of your home can communicate volumes about you and keeping it looking on point can be rather daunting. When seasons change from summer to winter, much can be revealed about what your beautiful landscape might be hiding. You might start to see cracks in hardscapes or breakage in your driveway. Similarly, you may even get an epiphany and be able to see a vision of a new patio or paver walkway. Whatever the case may be, Arbor Hills Construction has the experience and proven reliability that we all search for when taking on a home project.
Sidewalk cracks, discolored driveways and deteriorating patio decks tend to be overlooked when keeping the home pristine. You may not realize just how much these tiny flaws affect the appearance and durability of your home until you've addressed them. In fact, industry experts estimate that installing or redoing the driveway alone can increase property value by 5 to 10%. That, along with greater curb appeal and safer outdoor surfaces, is enough to consider adding new concrete to your list of home renovations.
Thirty years in the concrete and hardscapes business has given Arbor Hills Construction the experience that customers seek. Hundreds of satisfied clients have joined the masses praising the design, execution and follow-up that Arbor Hills Construction practices, which can be lacking in today’s contracting environments. By specializing in laying concrete for driveways, walkways, retaining walls, patios and pool decks, they are able to hone their craft to give you the best possible outcome. Additionally, they are also experts in the stamped and colored concrete requests that higher end homeowners may desire. With a dedication to their customers and the ability to accommodate specialized needs without compromising quality, they're a top choice in Marietta - East Cobb.
With a “satisfaction guaranteed” being their credo, Arbor Hills Construction proudly states. “We will work with you to meet deadlines and coordinate with other related projects. We will maintain open communication with you to keep you up to date on the status of your job. We do this to guarantee that the project is completed according to your preferences.”
Residents (especially those inside city limits) may need to obtain permits before laying concrete or installing retaining walls. This process can take several weeks, so it's best to start the planning process now and prepare to have your new driveway, patio or walkway installed as soon as possible. So, get ready for those summer parties on the updated patio or that inviting driveway to park your new car. Arbor Hills Construction is your partner in keeping your largest investment immaculate and welcoming.
