Queens Tile Contractor

Queens is an eclectic blend of diverse neighborhoods, great sports, arts and culture and cool dining spots, craft brew and interesting shops. In its midst, a family new to the area needed a kitchen renovation, and we were excited to tackle this project. The first task at hand is always to protect adjacent spaces and floors. Then we removed the entire old kitchen and carted the stuff away. Two-tone cabinets are gaining in popularity, so we installed the lower wood ones and upper white ones, both sporting glamorous bronze hardware.

 Installing the new herringbone pattern backsplash was an exercise in intricate measurements, custom tile cutting all along the way and exact placement to achieve the overall sleek look. Tools included a laser level, but the steady hand of experience and keen eye for details can be credited with this result. Cutting tile is not for the faint-hearted or amateur. It is all about precision especially at the lower and upper edges where it has to look like the pattern simply continues on up and down behind the cupboards. The family is very pleased with their new kitchen to enjoy and new neighborhood to explore.
