How a Backsplash Job Runs in New Britain

Every wall runs the same disciplined sequence. Measure (free, ~30 minutes): runs measured, outlets counted, walls straightedged, tile discussed, written fixed price delivered. Prep day: protection up, old material out if any, substrate repaired and flattened — tile only goes onto walls that pass the straightedge.

Setting, grouting, finishing

Set day: layout snapped on the wall, level courses, tight outlet and window cuts. Grout day: grout, sealer where specified, flexible caulk at counters and corners, haze polished, full cleanup. Walkthrough: we sight the lines together, check plates and edges, confirm the cleanup. Standard kitchens take two days; baths often one.

Your part

Clear the counters the morning we arrive, keep pets out of the work area, and hold fresh grout from soaking for 24 hours. New Britain kitchens skew small and hardworking: galley layouts, radiators under windows, plaster walls that wave, and counters replaced ahead of the wall. The splash here negotiates tight runs, out-of-plumb corners and the occasional surprise behind the stove.
