Measure, prep, set, grout, clean — what happens on each visit and what we ask of you.
We visit, measure the runs, count outlets, check the wall with a straightedge, talk tile, and hand you a written number. No obligation. Berlin's powder-blue and rose 1950s kitchens are still everywhere, which makes 'keep the cabinets, change the wall' the single most requested upgrade we get here.
Counters masked, dust contained, old splash off if there is one. Then the wall gets what it needs: patching, floating, skimming, priming. Prep is most of a good result and nearly all of a bad one's absence.
Layout snapped on the wall, courses kept level, outlets and windows cut tight. You will see the wall take shape in hours.
Grout, sealer where specified, flexible caulk at counters and corners, full cleanup. Then we walk the wall together — sight the lines, check the plates — before we leave.
Your part: clear the counters the morning we arrive, keep pets out of the kitchen during setting, and hold off soaking fresh grout for 24 hours. That is the whole list.
Free measure, fixed price, most jobs done in 1–2 days.
Working in Berlin: Berlin is a town of two halves — the older farmhouse and mill-era stock around Kensington village, and the tidy 1950s–70s ranches and splits that fill the streets off Route 372 and the Berlin Turnpike side. Berlin has almost no dedicated backsplash specialist — the local competition is general handyman and remodel outfits plus the big-box install desks. The nearest tile-shop retail presence sits on the New Britain line and prices as retail.
The number we hand you is the number you pay. Prep and removal itemized — never discovered mid-job.
Tile goes onto walls that pass the straightedge test. If prep is needed, it is quoted, not improvised.
Masked counters, contained dust, hauled debris. Your Berlin kitchen is wiped down before we leave.
Full view of the wall + the worst spot. We reply with an honest range and a free-measure slot — usually the same day.
