Giudice and Webb offer creative advice such as:

  • Don’t forget that all rooms have a fifth wall…..the ceiling. People tend to paint their ceilings white, but why not take a walk on the wild side and go with a different color up there to create an accent?
  • Express your creative side by painting an accent wall! Accent walls can help divert your attention away from unappealing areas, as well as draw interest to a focal point within the room, like a fireplace
  • A great way to add height to your room is to paint the walls, crown molding and ceiling the same color
  • New flooring can be expensive. Try painting a fresh look with a porch and floor paint product and rejuvenate the space in no time

 

Ring’s End works closely with long-time partner Benjamin Moore; Ring’s End is the largest distributor of Benjamin Moore products in New England.

It’s this kind of specialized service, quality products and attention to detail that has helped Ring’s End continue to thrive and grow during the difficult economic times over the last few years.  At a time when many businesses have been cutting back or holding steady at best, Ring’s End has opened four new stores in the last two years, creating 50 new jobs in Connecticut.

Every Ring's End retail location has a full-service paint center where customers can select the perfect color and finish for their interior and exterior painting projects. Thousands of color options are available along with professional paint advice and design coordination. As a
family-owned company with 14 locations in Connecticut and Southern New York, Ring's End provides lumber, millwork, building materials, hardware, kitchen and bath cabinetry, paint and painting supplies, architectural hardware, and tools for area contractors, architects, and homeowners. The company continues to build on a tradition of service that began in Darien, CT, where the company was founded in 1902.  Learn more at www.ringsend.com and on Facebook.
