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. Cromwell has a substantial band of two-career households doing one focused upgrade a year. The backsplash is frequently that year's project because it finishes in a day or two.
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.
Yes — careful removal, wall repair and haul-away are quoted up front as part of the job, not discovered halfway through.
Demo day makes dust, which we contain with barriers and clean between phases. Setting and grouting are quiet, low-dust hand work.
A standard kitchen is two days — setting day, then grout day. Small baths often finish in one day. Full-height walls and tear-out replacements run two to four days.

The Cromwell picture: Cromwell's competition is mostly general remodeling contractors who subcontract the tile. Specialization is the differentiator, plus the willingness to take a job that is only one wall. Cromwell has a substantial band of two-career households doing one focused upgrade a year. The backsplash is frequently that year's project because it finishes in a day or two.
