  • Testimonial

    Thank you for sending such hard working, responsible and meticulous men to do the painting in our house. The crew worked hard and well as a team to complete all of the assigned tasks. Eric's presence was also helpful in making sure we had the right colors, checking on progress and communicating between all involved. We especially appreciated their prompt arrivals, attention to details, clean-up, and consideration of our needs, which included putting up with our big, friendly and nosy lab.

Invest in the best or get the look for less? See our side-by-side comparisons to decide for yourself.

    Subway Tile: Splurge

    Lining station walls in 1904, when New York City subway trains made their maiden voyage, the easy-to-clean, 3-by-6-inch white tile became an instant must-have finish for bathroom walls.

    Subway tile has become so ubiquitous that its original appearance has almost been forgotten. The historically accurate ones from Subway Ceramics are ⅜ inch thick with a flat surface, a square edge, and a glossy white glaze. Coupled with pencil-thin grout lines, they're a dead ringer for vintage subways.
