Our Process
Our Painting Process
Every paint visit follows a consistent process to ensure safe, lasting results with no surprises.
1Scope Conversation & Free Estimate
We discuss your vision, review the space, and identify any substrate conditions (moisture, unlevel floors, questionable tile backing) that might affect the job. Written flat-rate quote provided within 24 hours.2Material Sourcing Support
We advise on tile selection, grout color, LVP brand, and vanity dimensions — the choices that most affect the end result. We can source materials through our wholesale accounts or work with what you purchase at Home Depot, Lowe's, or Floor & Decor.3Substrate Prep
For tile work: we install Schluter Ditra or cement backer board where required, check for level and plumb, and establish layout lines before a single tile is set. Skipping this step is why tile jobs fail — we don't skip it.4Installation
All work is done to industry standards: tile spacers for consistent joints, grout floated and cleaned in stages, LVP staggered with minimum 8" offset patterns, molding nailed with a finish nailer and filled. No shortcuts.5Final Grout Sealing & Walkthrough
Tile grout is sealed with Aqua Mix Sealer's Choice Gold (penetrating sealer) 24–48 hours after grouting. We walk the job with you to confirm satisfaction before closing the project.

West Long Branch, NJ Kitchen Backsplash
White Subway Tile Backsplash Transformed a 1985 Kitchen
A West Long Branch homeowner on Locust Avenue had a 35-year-old kitchen with no backsplash — bare painted drywall behind the stove and countertops. We installed 38 square feet of 3×6 white ceramic subway tile in a classic brick pattern with sanded gray grout. Installed Schluter Ditra over the painted drywall first. The homeowner described it as "an entirely different kitchen."
Total: $740 — Prepped and Installed
Shrewsbury, NJ Bathroom Vanity
Double Vanity Replaced — From Demo to Running Water in One Day
A Shrewsbury homeowner had a rotting 48" double vanity with a cracked cultured marble top. We demoed the old unit, installed a customer-supplied 60" KOHLER Elliston vanity with an integrated top, reconnected both supply lines and drain assemblies, and patched the wall where the old mirror bar had been. Completed in 6.5 hours — functional same day.
Labor: $385 — Restored water
Eatontown, NJ LVP Flooring
700 Sq Ft of LVP Over Existing Vinyl Tile — No Demo Required
An Eatontown homeowner on Pine Street had original 1970s vinyl composition tile throughout the first floor — asbestos-containing tile that was intact and in good condition. Rather than disturb it, we floated 700 sq ft of LifeProof Sterling Oak LVP over the existing tile with 3mm foam underlayment. The homeowner avoided costly asbestos abatement and has a floor that looks new.
Labor: $2,100 — Floating install
