Client email (on file) after.....
"Jim -
Dave and I LOVE the new kitchen counters. We basically stood in the
kitchen all yesterday evening admiring them and commenting that we feel
the house is truly complete and truly ours now that we have changed
that last surface (we always say how no surface of the house has gone
untouched since we moved in - and now that is actually true!).

It is such a pleasure to work with you - the quality of your
craftsmanship both on the kitchen just this past week, but also all the
work you've done for us over the past two years (the gutters, the dry
wall, the specially reinforced joist... the list goes on) has been just
fantastic!

Thanks so much for your good work. Look forward to more projects with
you in the future.

Lisa"

 

 Time For A New Shower!

This is a ceramic tile surround with 12" border and 18" x 30" niche of glass mosaic tiles, custom color blend.

As fantastic as this looks the photo really doesn't do the glass tile justice. It is hard to describe the depth glass tile brings to an installation.

Light passes through the glass and reflects off the color back, creating  depth, sparkle and fabulous color.

New soaker tub, tiled surround, shower fixtures and new toilet create a beatiful space to escape, soak and relax.

Carnival in the kitchen.
Below is a 2x2 ceramic countertop with Laticrete epoxy grout. The countertop is stain proof, heat, bacteria and chemicle resistant. Epoxy grout can always be restored or repaired to it's original color and properties.

The backsplash was site built using the direct method. The field tile is 3/4" white glass, three shades. The "streamers" are various glass tiles, 3/8, 5/8 and 3/4 in different colors and finishes. White un-sanded cementious grout fills the backsplash and was sealed twice with a premium sealer.

New Floors Please!
This newly purchased home had vinyl and carpet throughout. We provided a complete solution that included - new sub-flooring of plytanium® 3/4" plywood, ceramic tile with custom grout color, mosaic inlay, mosaic thresholds and solid hardwood. Hard tile in the basement were installed over anti-fracture membrane.
