From its conception, Wes O'Connor and his team have been leading the field of tile installers in Boston with their timely service, custom tile work, job execution, and excellent communication skills. At S&W Tile, the team operates under principles that are applied to every job. Customer satisfaction is our first priority.

"Wes and his team saved us from a terrible situation! We recently had our bathroom completely redone by a contractor who we didn't really know, and the work wasn't done well. We called in Wes, having worked with him several years ago to tile our kitchen, and he came by to take a look. Thank goodness he did! After his initial assessment, he knew right away that our "new" shower was likely leaking, and that there were multiple issues with both the tile and the structure of the shower itself. Wes coached us through buying the materials that we would need, and drew up a contract to get going on the project as soon as possible. After demolition, the problems really became apparent! All kinds of leaks, CUT FLOOR JOISTS, and other incredibly sketchy shortcuts from the original contractor. Wes walked us through the best strategy to fix everything and his team worked diligently to correct all of the issues and tile the shower beautifully. We will be working with Wes again for many more projects, particularly fixing the floor in this bathroom, which was also a hack job. He has been professional and courteous in all of our dealings with him, he shows up on time when he says he will, answers all of our questions truthfully and in depth, and he cleaned up after himself at the end of every day and at the end of the job, which is always a huge bonus! Thanks to Wes and his team for their hard work to get us the shower of our dreams, and save us from a mess further down the line."

No gimmicks. No high pressure. We're not like those other companies, where a slick salesman shows up at your house, gives a three hour presentation, starts his or her quote at double or triple the price it should be, creates bogus discounts, and tries to high-pressure you into paying ridiculously high prices. We simply give your our best price up front. No games or high pressure! Our team has installed over 2,000 kitchens since 1989! Regardless of what your kitchen looks like now, we can transform it into a beautiful "after" kitchen for you. By the time we've finished our magic, your cabinets will look just as good (if not better) than new. Not only can they look better, but with the addition of a few inexpensive options they can be much more functional too. Things like roll out shelves and tilt trays make it much more pleasant to work in the kitchen.

"Just do it! If you are reading the reviews, you must be exploring your options. Well, you have FOUND the right company! I know I did. My experience with Affordable Cabinet Refacing was beyond my expectations. From the first phone call to Debra, her thorough and clearly presented email outlining the process to Chuck's informative visit to present (exhuberantly, but not high pressure) my options, I felt very comfortable moving forward. When Shawn arrived to measure (a kitchen initially built over 150 years ago), I was beyond impressed with his meticulous measuring and attention to detail. When Guy and Mike arrived, they were the icing on the cake. Their professional manner, work ethic, and skill transformed the kitchen to the one I dreamt of. Read the other reviews and chuckle at mine, but rest assured, you have FOUND the right company, because the have the highest quality product with an incredible team behind it. In today's world, the right people make all the difference. Kudos to each of them!"

A true handyman service, intentionally not pursuing contractor type tasks to focus on the under served "small task" market that every home has, but most services don't want or are not properly equipped to handle with the kind of competence, quality and professionalism that we do. Staying true to small jobs keeps our availability much higher. You will not find such a comprehensive package to arrive in an impressively large van stocked with all things necessary to address such a wide variety of tasks with such care and competence. If you've had trouble finding someone to hang your pictures, change a hard to reach light bulb, get your slider to you know ...slide. We're the call you need to make. Currently our hourly rate is $ for two skilled professionals. We typically suggest to resign to whatever your budget will allow, preferably 4 or 8 hour time frames and call with your prioritized list of tasks. Prioritizing ensures you are making the most of our visit with the things that will best enhance your life. Once the time is up, the remainder will defer to the next visit when finances will again allow, again to address the most important items to you first. By repeating this you will have your every day life looking and functioning the way it should, no more cabinet door that you have to open that certain way so it won't fall off, or what have you. We do charge for time in acquisitioning the necessary supplies, typically one hours time and will take away all waste produced every time for a nominal fee if desired. Handyman in the truest sense. In the past we've installed bat houses, repaired decks, righted sheds & concrete stairs, re-screened/repair patio doors & wheels, fixed cabinet doors, repaired exterior rot (selectively) with new trim or rot specific hardeners. Hung pictures and paintings, assembled diy furniture and yard playsets. Cleaned gutters, pressure washed for miles, install/repair storm drs. Really the variety is boundless with the only exception being jobs that require bldg. permits.

"Dan Cormier is an amazing secret weapon that every home owner needs to have. He is smart, thoughtful and always has your best interests in mind. He'll come up with simple, cheap solutions that work. Plus, the things he fixes stay fixed. Meaning you'll never have to think about that problem again. He's an amazing resource for all things home repair related!"

"The travertine marble on our fireplace surround had cracked under its own weight and was pulling away from the wall. Superior gave the lowest quote and also had great reviews so we gave them a shot. The whole process was pleasant and painless - We were able to pick from any remnant they had on hand and found a nice honed granite. They told us it would unfortunately not be done until after the new year. Bill came out to do the template and asked if we were having Christmas dinner at our house - I said yes, and he said he would see if they can squeeze us in before the Holiday. Sure enough we got an appointment for Dec 18th. The installers were super friendly and nice - They got the job completed in a couple hours and it looks beautiful. There was no mess at all and everything looks great. I would call Superior again in a heartbeat."

Countertops and Backsplashes questions, answered by experts

Tile countertops are a good option for homeowners looking for budget-friendly kitchen solutions. To get the biggest bang for your home improvement dollars, ensure the tile you install is heat- and scratch-resistant.

Several countertop materials are designed to require as little maintenance as possible. The most popular options for ease of use include laminate, stainless steel, and quartz. These options are nonporous, so they’re unlikely to stain or be affected by mold and bacteria. They’re also easy to wipe down and safe to use with various cleaning products.

Epoxy is the best sealer for concrete countertops. It fills in gaps, rough areas, and imperfections for a smooth finish and will usually last the life of the concrete. Other options include acrylic and polyurethane sealers, which protect the countertops from stains but must be reapplied every few years to maintain proper surface protection.

Yes, onyx is more expensive than granite because of its rarity, delicate nature, and specialized care. Its luxurious appearance and ability to be backlit also add to the cost, making it a premium choice for homeowners.

For most homeowners, quartz and quartzite countertops are similar in price. The average quartz countertop installation costs $80 to $220 per square foot, while quartz countertops cost $70 to $200 per square foot. Of course, there are outliers, like if you choose a highly customized, rare natural stone with high-end finishes.
