I am thrilled with my new white tile surround! Brett did an absolutely amazing job transforming my dated, 1970's avocado green tile surround to a stunning, gleaming white to match my white bathtub. Having the tile refinished was SO much more cost effective than other options. I saved literally thousands of dollars. Brett is extremely precise in his application and the finished result was much better than I had anticipated. It is the best tile refinish job I have ever seen. I highly recommend Brett Gibson of Premier Refinishing - the best in the business!

The tub was in poor condition and he refinished it beautifully. I called several tub refinishing companies and left a message. He was the first to call me back. He gave me a good price and could do the job the next week. Another man did call me later in the day and I told him I had already contracted with someone and he asked me who it was. When I told him it was Lawrence he told me that I was in good hands. I was impressed that one of his competitors gave him such a good recommendation. He arrived at the appointed time and the work was done in a timely manner and very neatly. I have already given his name to my plumber because he wanted to know who had done such a great job on the tub. Lawrence was a pleasure to work with!

Never heard back from this company, so had no opportunity to use him.
Description of Work: I need to refinish a bathtub and called this company for a quote just based on the great reviews he received on Angie's List.. I left a detailed message on 4/7 with my number for a callback. As of this date, 4/14, I have yet to hear back from him. At the same time, I left the same message with another company from Angie's List and received a call back from him within two hours. He is scheduled to give me a quote soon.

(removed member name), I'm sorry that I missed your message and you felt it was necessary to leave a review for that reason. I'm not trying to make excuses but sometimes with my hectic work schedule a voicemail or two will slip through the cracks. Also my daughter was born on the 17th so it was a busy time for me. Sorry. Have a good day. Lawrence Antoine

Description of Work: After reading Angie's list, the decision was easy, and even better, accurate. |PREMIER REFINISHING was as advertised. After reading the other reviews, I felt comfortable simply making sure the tech(owner) had everything he needed, asking him to lock the door on the way out, and gave him the payment. (The house was empty and under renovation.) The next day, the tub looked great, time will tell. If I really wanted to be particular, he left a small bathroom window open, but called me later to let me know. A Small Whoops. What he didn't do was look at the tub and say, Oh, look at this rust spot and that rust spot, this will cost a little more. |Quite Happy. Good Value.

Lawrence returned my initial call in a timely manner. We discussed the nature of the job and he was upfront (and accurate) on his pricing. We agreed on an available date and he contacted me the day before to confirm. He was punctual (it required 2 days) since the old finish had to be stripped and curing time before the non-slip coating could be applied. He was very neat and cleaned up completely when finished. Tub looks great and I expect the new finish will last a long time. Very satisfied with the job.

I wasn't at all sure that my rusted bathtub could be repaired after having poked a 2 inch hole in the spot that had rusted out. I used Angie's List to find a contractor specializing in bathtub refinished and was very pleased to find one that was not only local, but highly regarded and recommended as well. I contacted Lawrence Antoine with Premier Refinishing, leaving a message with my contact information. He returned my call immediately, obtain what I thought was a very reasonable quote for the bathtub refinishing and scheduled the service call. Antoine was on time and appeared at my door carrying his tools. As I joked, he obviously came prepared to go straight to work. Antoine, provided and honest and objective analysis of what I already knew was going to be a difficult repair. We agreed to make the attempt at repair. Not only was Antoine able to make it work, he made the repair work well and was so proud of his accomplishments that he took before and after photos to share with his contractor associates. We agreed to a non-slip surface add-on after the repair / refinishing job was complete. Antoine, returned early the next morning to complete the non-slip surface. As you would expect from a good contractor, Antoine did not require a deposit and waited until the job was satisfactorily completed before providing an invoice for his work. In a nutshell - yes, I would not hesitate to contact Antoine again if ever I need any further work - and I may :-). And I certainly would not have any hesitation in recommending his services to anyone else in need of bathtub refinishing.

Perftect job. We had an iron sink and claw foot tub that we wanted to be the same custom color. We also wanted the tub two tone with white on the inside and chrome plated feet. We were able to pick the exact color we wanted. Lawrence picked up and delivered after he was finished. He is a perfectionist. Originally the feet were installed wrong andd the tub would rock. He determined where the correct feet should be and changed the pinss holding the feet on securely. The finish and the chrome are excellent. We can't wait to call the plumber and finish the job.

As a professional, he arrived on time each day, protected the surrounding walls and floor around the items to be refinished, was polite and careful, worked diligently, was enjoyable to have around, and completed the project on time. When finished, the sinks and tub look beautiful. My husband and I are very pleased and can highly recommend him.
Description of Work: I was impressed by the reviews on Angie's List and needed two old 1927 pedestal sinks and a large bathtub refinished. From the initial phone call to completion of the project I was impressed. Lawrence Antione, owner and refinisher, charges a flat fee for each item which includes any repairs that also need to be made such as rust. An appointment was set for the next week for two days of repairs.

Lawrence is a pro, a gentleman, and works quickly and cleanly. He arrived on time, was very concerned about the dark color we had chosen for our walls, but was willing to do what we wanted regardless. Thought it was very thoughtful of him to worry about the final result due to darkness of color. He was done in 2 days, and our 1950s pepto-bismol pink, looking falling apart bathroom is now slick and stream=lined with beautiful wine colored wall tile, and a WHITE tub and sink, thankyouverymuch. I HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM!

Mr. Antoine arrived about 10 minutes after appointment time, however he had made it a point to call us and inform us that he was running a little late! He was very friendly, polite, professional and efficient . The tub had to be thoroughly cleaned and prepared to receive the new finish. The result was excellent. He took care to protect the fixtures and surrounding areas. He also took the time to thoroughly clean built up soap on surrounding tub walls. He returned the next day to provide a non-slip surface to the tub bottom. He thoroughly cleaned up after himself leaving my bathroom in excellent condition. I would not hesitate to recommend him or hire him in the future.

Lawrence is the owner and worker. He showed up on time and went over everything that he was going to do. I had watched a video on his website before he came out so that I was familiar with what was going to take place. He needed ventilation from a window to send the fumes outside. After he set everything up and I had showed him where electrical outlets were outside of the house and we made sure there were no leaks from the tub he started working. One side note I care for a baby during the day and her crib was near where he was working so I was taking the pack n play to another room for her nap and he offered to help and set it up! Over and beyond the call of duty! He was extremely friendly and was very professional in all of his dealings. The work only took about 2 1/2 hours. All in all he was finished by noon. Amazing! My tub looks brand new! The house did smell pretty bad from the fumes at the end so I febreezed and left for awhile. By late afternoon the smell was gone from the rest of the house. It lingered in the bathroom for a little longer but no more than 1-2 days. All in all a very pleasurable experience. We will be having him back to do our second bathroom including the tile on the wall which is a disgusting yellow and black. After he is finished it will be a chic black and white bath!
Description of Work: This is a job in which if you don't want to replace your entire bathroom you are able to have your tub and tile refinished. This is not the same thing as putting a shell over everything. The process involves cleaning all of the surfaces and fixing anything that needs to be repaired. After all of the prep work is done the area is coated with a primer and then a paint. It takes 24-48 hours to dry and 30 days to cure. You are able to use it after it is dry. This was a great way for us to put a new look on an old 50's bathroom without replacing everything in it.The entire process only takes about 3 hours for everything to be done.

The job was performed in a very timely and professional manner. Lawrence Antoine was very respectful and personable - something that seemed to be lacking in others who bid for the job. But best of all is the finished product. Our 1915 old claw foot tub which was hideous is now a perfect specimen of a rescued antique. We can't praise Premier Refinishing enough!
Description of Work: Premier Refinishing (Lawrence Antoine) refinished our antique clawfoot tub. He sandblasted the exterior rather than hand-sanding which made a vastly superior final finish. His price was even better than other bids for an inferior technique. We did a custom color exterior (chocolate brown) on the tub and another custom finish on the clawfeet (brushed nickel). And the old rusty and chipped interior is now a perfectly smooth and glossy white. Again other refinishers could not or would not give as superior a result for the same (if not more) cost. Advice? Compare service and price like we did, ask whether they sandblast or just hand-sand, and then make your logical and best choice - choose Premier Refinishing and Lawrence Antoine. You will have made a great decision!
