Middletown is a genuine gap in the local market: no backsplash-specific presence, and the tile retail options are limited enough that homeowners drive to Hartford or New Britain to buy material. Our answer is a fixed sequence with a fixed standard, quoted before work starts:

1. Measure — free, ~30 minutes

Runs measured, outlets counted, walls straightedged, tile discussed, written fixed price delivered. Bring ideas or nothing at all.

2. Prep — the day that decides quality

Protection up, old material out, substrate repaired and flattened, layout snapped. A wall that passes the straightedge test gets tile; one that does not gets more prep, at the quoted prep price.

3. Set & grout — the visible days

Tile set in level courses with consistent joints, then grouted, sealed where specified, and caulked at every change of plane.

4. Detail & walkthrough

Haze polished, edges checked, plates seated, site cleaned, debris hauled — then the joint walkthrough. Because Middletown sits between Hartford and the shoreline, it is also where a lot of contractor scheduling falls apart. Showing up in the window we promised is most of the local advantage.

Why us

The Middletown Backsplash Masters guarantees

Fixed price, in writing

The number we hand you is the number you pay. Prep and removal itemized — never discovered mid-job.

Straight walls or more prep

Tile goes onto walls that pass the straightedge test. If prep is needed, it is quoted, not improvised.

Clean site, every day

Masked counters, contained dust, hauled debris. Your Middletown kitchen is wiped down before we leave.

FAQ

Process questions

How do outlets work with new tile?
Outlets and switches are extended with box extenders so plates sit flush on the finished tile — no buried devices, no floating plates.
What is the walkthrough?
The joint inspection before we leave: we sight the grout lines together, check outlets and edges, confirm cleanup — and nothing is finished until you are satisfied with the wall.
Do you work weekends?
Measures can sometimes be arranged on Saturdays; installs run on weekdays. Call 860-990-2332 and we will find a slot that fits.
How do I get started?
Call 860-990-2332: describe the wall, text two photos, and we will schedule the free measure. The written fixed price follows at or shortly after the visit.
