We just finished working for the upcoming new Ben Affleck movie
""""TheTown"""""
(2 tubs + 1 ped sink)
being filmed in the Boston area.
Charlie; the owner said we would do them for free... if only they would let him be a "producer". Regretably, they said; NO!
If you see the movie watch for the 2 bathtubs and the pedestal sink.
Top 10 Bathroom renovation tips
1. Choose elegant fixtures.
A pedestal sink with graceful lines is more attractive than a blocky cabinet vanity. A classic claw-foot tub is like bathroom sculpture. Even enclosed in a deck, the simple lines of the lip have an inherent beauty that surpasses most acrylic versions.
2. Sit in a bathtub before buying it.Bigger isn't always better. A 60-inch tub is fine for most people. It offers enough room to stretch out and provides a secure foothold, so you don't float into oblivion when the tub is full. Assess the angled back and lip for comfort and neck support -- a tub for two people slants at either end and has taps in the middle. If you only have enough space for a small tub, buy an extra-deep one.
3. Select durable flooring. Ceramic, marble and stone tiles are all excellent durable and water-resistant choices for a bathroom. Subfloor heating coils will make these hard surfaces warm. Well-sealed hardwood floors offer natural warmth and act as a foil for the other hard, cold surfaces in a bathroom.
4. Hang a stylish mirror.One beautifully framed mirror over a sink is more attractive than many surfaces covered with mirror. Supplement it with a wall-mounted adjustable makeup mirror, and consider installing a lighted, mirrored shaving niche in your shower stall.
5. Use found space.Take advantage of space between wall studs by recessing a tall storage cabinet into the wall to maximize vertical storage while saving floor space. The cabinet should have an interior depth of at least three inches and a door flush with the wall.
6. Build a shower area. Consider building an open-concept shower area that doesn't need a curtain or door and is less confining than a standard shower stall. In addition to well-designed drainage, a ceiling-mounted rain showerhead and/or a high wall-mounted showerhead that splashes less water will keep the area outside the shower drier.
7. Share space for added function.In homes with back-to-back bathrooms, a shared shower with access doors to each of the bathrooms maximizes limited space. Or turn a closet located next to a bathroom into a small ensuite with access to the neighbouring bath.
8. Design lighting that works. Good lighting is imperative. Combine halogen pot lights with wall sconces beside or over the mirror for lighting with no shadows. Always install dimmers.
9. Buy a quality toilet.When buying a toilet, it's not necessary for you to spend big bucks, but you don't want to scrimp too much, either. You can get a good-quality one-piece toilet for about $400. Models with elongated bowls and seats are usually most comfortable.
10. Incorporate luxury into your room. If you're fortunate enough to have lots of space to work with, indulge yourself with an expanded spalike bathroom that includes a dressing room -- a haven for privacy and relaxation. Outfit it with a television, fireplace, exercise equipment, makeup vanity and even a large comfortable occasional chair upholstered in thick white terry-cloth.
Bathtub refinishing in Marietta, Ohio is the "Art" of restoring the surface of a worn, damaged bathtub to a like new condition. This process typically involves repairing any damaged areas, prepping the surface and applying a new finish.

* His movie is at the bottom of the page!*
This is on one of the cruise ship jobs that he headed up. (16-18 hour days are fun right?)
(Rated #1 by yellowpages.com 3 years running)
Congratulations to Levi Weppler for successfully completing 90 bathtubs in 3 different hotels in Boston MA, Barstow CA. and Winslow AZ in less than a months time including traveling by truck
accross the country twice. These tubs had been previously done (If that's what you want to call it) 2 or 3 times
before and had to be entirely hand sanded down to the origional surface from top to bottom in order to
guarantee their longevity. Some of them actually took 6-8 hours of sanding to get off whatever was put on the
the last 3/4 times.
Levi`s next assignment is 26 rooms in Hearne, TX for the same Company (I think they like us), and then it's
back to the midwest for 40/50 1 piece tub and enclosures in Wellington, Kansas. No rest for the wicked!
"Sharon", the Manager in Barstow says the tubs look “phenominal” and was very pleased with the effort put
forth by our crack team of pro's.

Excellent on cruise ships too. We at PCM USA needed a company to reglaze 308 washroom sinks in 9 days. Eastern finished the job in 8 days and each and every sink passed numerous quality control inspections. Bradley Hobi
