“The Talk of the Town” Frieden home remodel painting

Image

The Frieden’s in Reynolds, IL love a challenge.  They bought a home that had been vacant for “years”!  They gutted the inside and beautified the outside, which is where I came in.  They provided one of my most challenging and rewarding projects: a total home remodel painting. You can see in the pictures below how great a transformation we were able to achieve. There wasn’t much paint left on the house by the time we finished scraping.  And I won’t even tell you how many tubes of caulk we used to “glue” it back together.

It wasn’t til about midday that we realized how many people were noticing our work. While taking our lunch break, a neighbor came out and indicated that the house had been in disrepair since she had moved next door – that was in the early 70s.  She also told us, “You guys are the talk of the town.”

The most rewarding part of the project was hearing Rob say as he got out of his car in the front of the house, “It is so much better than I thought it would be!”

Reynolds, IL – Back of house, before. Over the years, as the old paint peeled and cracked, spaces opened up where moisture could get past the siding. Nothing we couldn’t fix with an attentive eye and an endless supply of caulk!
