Bathroom Remodeling
How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Marlborough?
It depends on size, layout changes and the tile and fixtures you choose. We visit, measure and give you a free written estimate with every line spelled out, so there are no surprises later.
Do you waterproof the shower before tiling?
Yes. Every shower gets a waterproofing membrane on the walls and pan before a single tile goes up. You can see it in our job photos.
Can you convert a tub into a walk-in shower?
Yes. We remove the tub, rebuild the pan and curb, waterproof, and tile a walk-in shower with niches or a bench if you want them.
Do I need to be home during the work?
No. Most clients give us access and check in at the end of the day. We protect floors and clean up daily.
Kitchen Remodeling
Can you update my kitchen without replacing the cabinets?
Often, yes. Painting solid cabinets and adding new granite and a tile backsplash changes the whole room for far less than new cabinets.
Can I keep using my kitchen during the remodel?
For part of it. We plan the order of work to keep the down time short and tell you which days the kitchen will be out of use.
Do you install tile floors in kitchens?
Yes. We install large-format porcelain over an uncoupling membrane and use a leveling system, so the floor stays flat and the grout lines stay tight.
Tile Installation
What tile do you install?
Porcelain, ceramic, glass mosaic and natural stone, in sizes from small hex mosaics to large-format porcelain planks.
Why does floor prep matter so much?
Most cracked tile and grout comes from a bad base. We flatten the floor and use an uncoupling membrane and a leveling system before setting tile.
Do you help choose tile?
Yes. We look at the room with you and suggest sizes, layouts and grout colors that fit the space and your budget.
Granite & Countertops
Can you add a backsplash at the same time?
Yes. Countertops and backsplash are usually done together, so the tile meets the stone cleanly.
Will new granite work with my existing cabinets?
Usually, if the cabinets are solid and level. We check them at the estimate. Painting them at the same time is a common update.
Basement Finishing
What flooring works best in a basement?
Waterproof vinyl plank is a safe choice for most New England basements. Tile is a good option too. We'll look at your space and recommend one.
Can you add a bathroom to my basement?
Bathrooms are our main specialty. Ask about it during your free estimate and we'll go over what your space allows.
Deck Construction
Can you rebuild an old deck?
Yes. We check the framing first. If it's solid we replace boards and railings. If not, we rebuild.
Residential & Commercial Painting
Do you paint kitchen cabinets?
Yes. Painting solid wood cabinets is one of the best-value updates for an older kitchen.
Do you paint commercial spaces?
Yes. We paint both homes and commercial spaces. Call to set up a walkthrough.
