Dear Mark:

 

Joe and I wanted to update you on our “new house” and to thank you and the multiple teams at Capital Remodeling Inc. that played a part in transforming our 30+ year old house! What can we say – in April, we had old, drafty metal windows that we couldn’t either fully open or fully close, and the original aluminum siding that at this point was faded, stained and mildewed.

 

When we met with Jason, the Capital Remodeling representative, he not only walked us through multiple options to improve our windows, he introduced us to the Coolwall option for our siding, With a lifetime guarantee, this new paint technology is just amazing! At this point, our home is snow white, and with brand new windows and gutters, we feel like we are living in a brand new house. The windows we selected are wonderful – you can open and close them with ease, plus they are very secure and exceptionally energy efficient. After years of no fresh air, we have thoroughly enjoyed the ability to get that fresh night air whenever we want it!

 

We particularly want to mention the professionalism and expertise of Capital Remodeling Inc.’s installation teams. The window team installed all 14 of our windows in one day, and was particularly attentive to ensuring that nothing inside or outside of our home was damaged. Our only delay was waiting for 2 months of continued rain here in Maryland to pass in order to schedule our Texcote paint job! That was an amazing process that first cleaned every inch of the house, applied a primer, and then final coat. With the final addition of brand new gutters, we were delighted to see the final combined product appear. Every member of the Capital Remodeling team: sales, installation, and management took extra care to keep un informed about the status of our remodeling job, pay attention to our specific needs, ad follow through on the smallest details that in the end make the difference between a good job and a quality job, That, plus a highly competitive price really made this a winner for us.

 

Thank, Capital Remodeling Inc! We are delighted with our New Home!

Wall Painting Techniques

Author: Paint Splashes

Thanks to Capital Remodeling, Inc.

Do your walls seem dull and uninviting? Do you long for a cozy, welcoming room? Consider decorative wall painting techniques, such as sponging, ragging, stenciling or stamping. Even if you have no experience, you can brighten even the dullest room quickly and cheaply with one of these easy decorative wall painting techniques.

Before painting your room, pick out a color scheme for your walls. When you chose your paint, remember that many painting techniques use two shades of one color. If you are using one of the techniques that does use two shades of color, you can pick a darker color than you normally would chose for your base color, since the lighter top color will make the final result much lighter.

To sponge or rag a wall, paint on your base color and let it dry thoroughly. Then, dip your sponge or rag into the lighter paint color and sponge or drag the lighter color over the base coat until you are satisfied with the effect. If you are unhappy with your final result, you can repaint any areas that you don’t like with the base coat. Once the repainted area is dry, repeat the faux painting technique.

If you are considering using a decorative painting technique such as stenciling or stamping, you may just want to create a wallpaper effect by stamping or stenciling a simple design over your base coat. However, you may want to go a step further with your project and use stencils or stamps to create a faux brick or stone wall. You don’t need to be an artist to create one of these faux finishes. Just follow these simple steps. First, paint the walls with the color you chose for the mortar between the bricks or stones. Once the base coat is dry, stamp or stencil your bricks or stones over the base coat. Once the brick or stonework is dry, spatter a bit of the darker color over your faux art to give it depth and make it appear more realistic.

Creating faux effects such as making your walls look like they are made of plaster or suede can also really make your room stand out. You can easily learn how to create these seemingly difficult finishes at your local paint store. Paint bases that automatically give a suede or textured effect to the walls are a shortcut that even artists use to create fun finishes.

Finally, no matter which decorative wall painting technique you choose, remember that it is just a few layers of paint. You can always redo the finish on your walls as you learn more about the art of decorative painting.
