A Legacy Of Excellence
Refinishing’s all we do, so we do it well. Over the years we’ve mastered our process so we can consistently get the best results for all our customers.
Our Story
I always dreamed of starting a business. In 1994, I decided that I needed to take the opportunity to do just that. Looking back, it made no sense since I had 4 young children, and 2 of them were in diapers. Thankfully I have an incredible wife who knew that I would never be satisfied if I didn’t at least try to live my dream.
So...where to start? After looking at several business opportunities, I came across the concept of bathtub and tile refinishing. I have always loved home improvement and I had no idea that it could even be done.
Most people rip out and replace their bathtubs – showers – and tile. Not because they are no longer functional or for structural reasons, but rather because they are no longer look appealing or the color is out of date.
Over 25 years later, I still find great satisfaction walking in to a bathroom with a bathtub – shower – or wall tile that is worn out or out of date and making it look like new again. We see our customers like our next door neighbors. That's why it's important to us that we get them the best possible results for the best price. I am still amazed and gratified when customers tell me how much money we saved them over replacement.
