Ah, The Son....

PDFPrintE-mail

Jr at WorkWell, this is it: our very own blog. I thought it would be fitting to post a picture of one of today's jobs that included "the son" of Macnson.

Josh Jr. is one of the "best of the best" when it comes to talent, passion, and general caring about a job and it's outcome.  The smile on Josh's face is because he is so happy to be back after a 3 year sabbatical from the company.  He is smiling because he loves what he does and is a proud artisan!

This particular job (as shown in the picture above) is a 3"x6" subway tile in a natural stone (Chairo) with a brushed finish. The entire bathroom receives a wainscot to 53" high with it continuing in the shower to the ceiling.  Note the custom shampoo box just below Josh's left arm.  This niche is unfinished at this point.  The "green" color is a waterproof membrane that Josh has applied to the box making sure that it will never leak during it's use.  The small red items in the background are wedges that Josh used to hold each tile in place assuring him of the joint size that he needs to maintain and keep the aesthetic beauty of the job in tact!

Chicago Reclaimed Brick

Recently we completed another kitchen floor.  This one however, was a bit different as we installed a used brick as specified from the job-site's designer, Mark Showell of Mark Showell Interiors (www.markshowellinteriors.com).  This used brick had been reclaimed, cut with a band saw to a 3/8" thickness (for flooring) and shipped out from Chicago.  Our job was simply to install these fine...

Justin's Beach House

Recently we completed a job that I considered as so much more than just a job.  We were chosen to be a part of a very special building project called the Justin's Beach House Project.  Justin W. Jennings was a young man who diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor in July of 1988.  This news came to Justin just one month prior to entering his freshman year at Penn State.  Though he was very much...

Waves of Tile

Recently we completed another kitchen backsplash.  This particular tile is a bit on the unique side of things since it is fashioned in the form of a wave or a scroll look.  Our installer Jason was tested, but proved once again to be the better when it came to installing this natural stone. By the time I caught up with Jason he was getting the grouting completed.  I will simply let the pictures...

Breaking the Weather

When our recent customer found water coming in his back door he realized that he needed something besides the hardwood flooring as a "weather break" at this area.  We were happy to accommodate by cutting this maple flooring back to an approximate 24" width and inserting these beautiful pebbles.  We then installed our waterproof, mold proof, stain proof grout called Spectra...

A Ceramic Area Rug

Well, after taking most of the summer off from blogging, I figured with fall in the air it was a good time as any to get back to writing and posting.  Today I thought I would feature a Hotel Lobby floor that we tackled in the town of Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. This hotel lobby floor was upgraded by using  non-slip 12" x 12" porcelain tiles with a simple border to create this "area rug" effec...
