Dear Capital Remodeling Inc.,

 

 

I wanted to let you know how please my wife and I are with the replacement windows you have just installed in our house. It is one of many home improvement projects on our list. Knowing how important and costly this project could be, we have been carefully searching for the right company to do it for us, and now that it is done we couldn’t be happier about it. The Capital Remodeling Inc. crew was very polite and professional and the workmanship was excellent. The windows themselves look terrific and add beauty to the house. I would strongly recommend your company to anyone who is considering replacement windows, Thank you  Capital Remodeling for a wonderful job!

Capital Remodeling Inc.,

 

            I recently had vinyl siding put on my house by Capital Remodeling Inc. and I wanted to let you know how pleased I am with the results.  A few years ago I had Capital Remodeling Inc. put windows in my sun room and that project turned out beautifully as well.  I am very happy with Capital Remodeling Inc.

 

            Everyone at Capital Remodeling Inc. is very professional and friendly.  During each of my free estimate appointment everything was explained to me and then it was all carried out 100%.  There were no surprises.  The Capital Remodeling Inc. workers arrived on time and worked until the project was complete.  The debris was hauled away leaving nothing behind.  Working with everyone at Capital Remodeling Inc on both projects was a wonderful experience for me.

 

Thank you very much Capital Remodeling Inc. for helping me make my house beautiful.

 

Sincerely yours,

            I just wanted to send Capital Remodeling Inc. a thank you note to express my true appreciation for a job well done.  I am completely satisfied with my new kitchen, which Capital Remodeling Inc. installed in November.

 

            The reputation Capital Remodeling Inc has for excellent work preceded them, and that is why I called only Capital Remodeling Inc. to remodel my kitchen.  I heard great things about Capital Remodeling Inc. so I expected quality work.  Thankfully, Capital exceeded my expectations.

 

            The entire process from design to completion went so smoothly.  The Capital Remodeling Inc. representative was very knowledgeable and helpful.  He explained several design options and even had great ideas for my kitchen that I hadn’t thought of myself.  I was truly impressed by his expertise and professionalism.

 

            That Capital Remodeling Inc. installer did an excellent job. He paid attention to even the smallest details, as well as protected my appliances and floor while he worked.  The installation was quick and the results are fantastic!  Me new cabinets are beautiful! I especially enjoy the convenient and practical features that make my kitchen seem twice the size and my new countertop is so attractive and easy to keep clean!

 

            Please comment the Capital Remodeling Inc. employees on my behalf for such great work.  It was a pleasure meeting everyone.  Thank you, Capital Remodeling Inc., for making my kitchen the envy of all my friends and neighbors.  I have already recommended Capital Remodeling Inc. to several of them who plan to remodel their own kitchens. I also look forward to replacing my windows with Capital very soon.

 

Sincerely,

Capital Remodeling Inc,

 

To Whom It May Concern:

 

            We just want to Congratulate Capital Remodeling, Inc. and its employees for a superb remodeling job in our home.  We are thrilled with the windows, kitchen and bathroom that Capital Remodeling, Inc. installed.

 

            Since Capital Remodeling, Inc. installed the windows first I will comment on them first.  They are beautiful and work perfectly. We had several windstorms in March and the windows that Capital Remodeling, Inc. installed were quiet, never rattled and kept the draft out.  The sliding glass door is a dream to work, unlike our former 40- year old sliding door that we could barely budge.  The Capital Remodeling, Inc. installers were fast, polite, neat, and friendly.  The entire job was done in one day and I would recommend these windows to anyone.

 

            The next project that Capital Remodeling, Inc. installed was the kitchen. Oh, my, what a difference!  I cannot compliment the Capital Remodeling, Inc. employees that did all of the work enough.  The Capital Remodeling, Inc. workers are top notch!  They are skilled, capable, friendly, trustworthy, clean, polite, and timely.  They gave extra attention to all of the detail in the kitchen and made it work!  Family, neighbors, and friends have all come in and have been amazed at how gorgeous my new kitchen is.

 

            Finally, the bathroom that Capital Remodeling, Inc. was outstanding!  The bathroom came together perfectly.  Between our ideas for that bath and the help of Capital Remodeling, Inc. employees, we created a masterpiece!  You could show our bathroom in Better Homes and Gardens. The shower is large for my extra tall husband (6’6”) to take a shower and not have to get on his knees and wash his hair.  The tile work that Capital Remodeling, Inc. did is also fantastic.  The tile work is fantastic and the Corian shower base is durable and fits our needs perfectly.

 

            I would highly recommend Capital Remodeling, Inc. to anyone and offer my comments or phone number to anyone that would like to discuss Capital Remodeling, Inc. further with me.

 

            In our opinion, to be the recipients of the quality workmanship, fair prices, and a beautiful outcome that Capital Remodeling, Inc. offers, is somewhat rare and extremely gratifying.

 

            Thank you to everyone at Capital Remodeling, Inc., you’ve made a huge difference in our home.

 

Most Sincerely,

Capital Remodeling Inc. Fights High Gas Prices

Capital Remodeling Inc., one of the largest window remodelers in the United States, is running a unique direct mail piece in a few select areas that gives homeowners $50.00 in free gas just for getting a free quote.

Capital Remodeling Inc. has always tried to be innovative when trying to find new ways to reach homeowners in need of updating their homes. “Now the big thing is gas prices,” says Ronald Clark, a manager at Capital Remodeling. Homeowners are not going on vacation as much and are cutting back on other luxury items. “Capital realizes that homeowners are busy and their time is important” says Nathan Hall another employee at Capital. “That is why Capital is giving $50 in free gas to homeowners in a few select neighborhoods this month to reward the homeowner for just for getting a free estimate.” Capital Remodeling Inc. understands that if they are able to meet an additional prospect and demonstrate the effectiveness of Capital’s highly advanced windows in how much the homeowner can save on their current monthly energy bills as well as see an increase in their home’s value, Capital Remodeling will often earn themselves another happy customer.

With the housing crisis still in full swing, there is definitely less work out there and many companies at this point are doing whatever they can to drum up even a little business. Now is a great time for homeowners to get the best deal on work done to their home. But “buyer beware” warns another manager, “Many home improvement companies will offer the world, but how strong really are those company’s lifetime warranties of the companies that provide the cheapest deal?” It is important for homeowners to know that historically an astounding 90% or more of new home improvement companies go out of business within the first 5 years. This of course is even more scary in today’s market. If a homeowner buys new windows from the cheapest new company out there and the window seals fail causing a film to develop on the inside of the double pane windows and the company went out of business, even with a lifetime warranty, the homeowner is often left out in the cold, literally.

Capital Remodeling has a 20 year plus proven track record that gives homeowners an extra feeling of confidence even in today’s economy. Capital Remodeling also has a metal-free seal on their windows which is one of the most technologically advanced spacer systems in the world. Most windows nowadays are sold with argon gas, which is a clear harmless gas that is denser than air and is inserted in between the two panes of a double pane window. This argon gas helps a replacement window manufacturer reach a better energy saving value on their windows. What most homeowners don’t realize is that most spacer systems in double paned windows will leak this argon gas over time. Capital Remodeling’s windows have a revolutionary spacer system has been tested under a German, Canadian and United States test to maintain 98% of their argon gas for over 20 years. This is a huge improvement in the window field.

Capital Remodeling also proudly states that they have thousands of referrals throughout the states they service and actually display some of their customer’s feedback on their website

Capital Remodeling Inc. provides free convenient in-home quotes throughout their service area.

Painting Green: Commercial Painting Products and Procedures That Build a Greener Reputation

Author: Steve A. Parker

Going green? In the wake of films like An Inconvenient Truth, presenting a greener reputation to the public may be a matter of business survival. As environmental consciousness becomes a mainstream concern, proving your company’s commitment to green thinking involves adopting practices that make sense for your business and are earth friendly.

Selecting green products and adopting greener practices is not enough. For the most credible commitment and the greatest impact for your company’s reputation, certification is also required to present a best practices reputation for your company.

Greener Commercial Painting Products

A host of new products are entering the market every year to fill the green products niche for commercial buildings. Some of these products are cleaner variants of traditional paints, while others use high tech production techniques to achieve their effects.

100 Percent Acrylic Paint: Using this paint helps out a company’s performance on indoor air quality tests. From a performance standpoint, the 100 percent acrylic paints are a great choice for most indoor applications. They resist dirt and cracking and have a good dry time. From a green commercial painting standpoint, 100 percent acrylics have a very low VOC content, which helps in locations where chemical sensitivities are an issue.

Silicate Paints: For exterior commercial painting projects, silicate paints are a great way to make your facility a little greener. Silicate paints are made from natural materials and are suited for covering concrete, masonry or gypsum wallboard. Potassium silicate binders give silicate paints good adhesion capability, and additional natural minerals add color.

Soy Ester Paint Stripper: Commercial restoration projects are often big sources of toxic products. Thinning agents and chemical strippers create a soup of harmful chemicals. By using products that replace the harmful ingredients with soy esters, your painting project can help improve the green image of your building. Soy esters are also used to make more environmentally friendly graffiti removers. These products allow you to incorporate greener practices with everyday maintenance routines.

Certification for a Greener Commercial Building

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is an independent certification program developed by the United States Green Building Council (USGBC). The USGBC is made up of building and construction professionals who believe that greener buildings are viable and sustainable.

LEED publishes a set of procedural guidelines for commercial buildings. Participation in the program is completely voluntary. If a company chooses to take part in LEED certification, the company is graded according to its compliance with the LEED guidelines. Platinum certification indicates the highest level of compliance, and is a verifiable credential for companies wishing to establish a greener reputation.

Greener Commercial Painting

If you have questions or concerns about incorporating greener products and practices into your next project, contact your painting contractor for more information.

Setting the Mood: Choosing the Right Paint Colors for your Home

Author: Matt Barker

Picking which colors to paint the interior of your home can be a stressful venture. Following trends can make your home look fashionable one season, but completely outdated the next. What you want is to choose colors that will satisfy you now and in the future.

So how do you choose? In reality, there are no right or wrong colors, but there are poor color combinations. Pairing lime green paint with red accents would look terrible, whereas combining lime green and white looks cheerful and clean. One place to start is to look at what colors and textures are already present in the room, and go from there.

After looking at what you already have, consider what function the room will serve, and how you want to feel when you spend time in it. Don’t be too limited by so-called color rules. If you read a magazine article that you should never use red for a bedroom, you’re going to miss out on a rich array of options. Go with your gut, and select shades that make you happy.

Colors affect us. They can lift our spirits, make us feel tense, or make us feel at peace.

The kitchen for instance, is typically a place where family and friends gather, snack, and engage in friendly conversation. This is a great area to use bright, cheery colors that promote feelings of well-being. Yellow has long been a popular choice for this room, but be mindful of the shade you select. Lighter shades of yellow are associated in our minds with happiness and freshness, while on the other hand, a dull shade of yellow reminds us of sickness and danger.

The bedroom is your place of refuge from the rest of the world. If you want to give the room a sensuous feel, light red paint can envelop you in feelings of passion. Pink is the classic color for romance, but can be too feminine and overpowering for many people. Blue is a great choice for the bedroom if you want to create an area of stillness. The color blue promotes feelings of tranquility and has a calming effect on the mind. Blue also acts as an appetite suppressant, so be mindful of this when painting your dining room area!

When you’ve decided on what mood you want to create as well as the color family you want to use, be sure to paint a fairly large square on your wall. Don’t rely on paint chips, as the color can end up looking different on your walls. A paint chip also can’t give you an accurate idea of how the room as a whole will mesh with the new color. Your furniture, the amount of natural light in the room, and the type of flooring you have, all play a part in how color will look in the room. So you need to have a fairly large sample area to properly judge.

Selecting paint color can be intimidating, but remember to go with your gut. If you love a color and it evokes the feeling that you want, then chances are good that you will be happy with your choice for many years to come.

Eco Friendly Paints

Author: Tony Neshtyak

In this article, we will learn about them eco friendly paints. During the curing and evaporating process, paints release their solvents in the atmosphere. You remember our articles explaining solvents right?

The release of these Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s) into the atmosphere, can precipitate effects ranging from Ozone Depletion, to smog, and yes, to Global Warming too. Public sentiment has only been getting stronger in the past few years, and unlike the 1990’s, where the introduction of Green paints bombed, the latest revolution is not going to end.

 

The crux of the matter however, is that painting experts maintain that, despite what the marketers say, paints without VOC’s don’t perform as well as paints that have them. They claim that they require more coats to achieve the same finish, and are not as long lasting.

However, with VOC’s being linked to dizziness, and asthma, public demand is only getting stronger, and the industry has no choice but to respond.

One solution, is to use Latex Paints, that are water based, with an acrylic resin acting as a binder. In addition to being environmentally friendly - Water based means no more VOCs - Latex paints have several other advantages over traditional paints including washability, and better opacity (Ability to completely cover another color).

Of course, being water based means that the Latex paints cannot be used to paint iron, as it will speed up the rusting process. Even so, there is a distinct trend towards latex paints, and new innovations are popping up everywhere.

The term ‘Green Paints’ can not only refer to the overt effects of the paint itself, but the manufacturing process that is followed in order to obtain the paint ingredients. For example, Titanium Dioxide, is widely used in paints for it’s whiteness, and for the fact that it has high ‘Hiding power’. This refers to the refractive index of the material. If the refractive index is high, it will provide greater opacity when it is disbursed in a solvent.

 

However, Titanium Dioxide is manufactured by processes called the sulphate, and chloride processes that resulted in diluted Sulphuric acid being created as a by product. These were dispersed into the sea, prompting debate on whether or not this was acceptable. It also meant that all substances that were dissolved in the acid, would also be released into the sea.

Quite apart from more efficient manufacturing practices, Titanium Dioxide, when applied as an exterior coating, reacts with sunlight causing smog. The International Agency for research on Cancer (IARC), has also classified Titanium Dioxide as an IARC Group 2B carcinogen, which means that it is probably an agent leading to the promotion of cancer in humans. Despite this, Titanium Dioxide is widely used.

Given the serious health and environmental damage that paints can have directly through their effects, as well as indirectly through their manufacture, Eco Friendly paints are set to have a major impact on the industry, as well as changing the way we view paint.
