Upgrade the wall without touching counters or cabinets. Careful removal, wall repair included, new tile in 1–2 days.
The most common call we get in New Britain isn't "remodel my kitchen." It's "I hate my backsplash but everything else is fine." Good news: that's the cheapest, fastest upgrade in the house — and it doesn't touch your counters or cabinets.
1. "It's ugly but intact."
The easy one: careful demo, wall prep, new tile. 1–2 days, dust contained, counters protected. Most jobs in this bucket land in the lower cost bands.
2. "Grout's cracking / tiles are loose."
We diagnose before we quote — sometimes it's failed caulk or a few hollow tiles; sometimes water got behind and the section needs rebuilding. We price the honest fix, and if it points to a bigger waterproofing issue we'll say so before you spend a dollar.
3. "There was tile here years ago / weird wall."
Old adhesive ridges, patched drywall, out-of-plumb walls in older New Britain colonials — prep is 80% of a good result. We fix the wall so the new tile sits flat and the grout lines run true.
4x4 glossy beige with the builder-grade trim — the single most requested removal in Central CT kitchens.
Backsplash stops randomly mid-wall. We extend full-height or finish the edge properly — options at the estimate.
Behind-the-range grout that never comes clean. We swap the range wall section or redo the run with easier-clean tile.
New countertops + existing backsplash = instant mismatch. Swapping just the wall ties the kitchen together for a fraction of a remodel.
