How to Select the Right Outdoor Batting Cage for Your Needs

Whether you’re using your batting cage for your backyard, school/university, or commercial facility, the first question you need to ask is.  “How will we be using this cage?” That one question can save you thousands of dollars.  Not to mention a lot of trouble, so be sure you know the answer.

Maybe you’re a homeowner who’s setting up a backyard batting cage for the weekend so the kids can play in the backyard.  Maybe you’re a school or commercial facility and you need the cage up for a weekend tourney or fundraising event.  Either way a temporary, above-ground batting cage is a perfect choice.

If you’re looking for a cage that will perform day in and day out for years to come, then you need a more permanent batting cage like an in-ground one.

Batting-Cage-with-Synthetic-Turf-Smithtown-NY1Above-Ground vs In-Ground Batting Cages

Above-ground batting cages are generally temporary outdoor batting cage solutions, perfect for backyard cage use, corporate, or fundraising events. These types of cages usually install quickly.  They are not designed to stay up for long periods of time and are susceptible to high winds. Most above-ground nets are considered portable, and can quickly be set up at any location with a flat surface. The exception to this rule is the Bolt-Down cages.  As the name suggests, it needs to be bolted down to a concrete surface.

In-ground batting cages are for more permanent outdoor solution. To install these batting cage frames, you’re going to have to do some digging. The frames of these cages and nets can last for years. Many schools, universities, and commercial facilities benefit from side-by-side multi-lane batting cages that not only reduce the overall footprint of the cage but also help to reduce costs.

Determining Your Cage Size

Now that you know which TYPE of cage you need, the next step is determining what SIZE of cage you’ll need.  No matter what type of cage you’ve selected, you’ll need a flat surface for your cage to occupy.  Be sure to leave a minimum of 3 feet between the net and existing structures like sheds, garages, and houses to prevent damage and potential ricochet. Please don’t install your cage near trees and other objects like fences or telephone poles that can become potential ricochet points. If you don’t have much room, don’t despair. Other measures can be taken to install buffers inside your batting cage too.  For example padding on the object itself using pole padding to deaden the impact. These steps can allow you to place your batting cage closer to a structure.

No one size fits all when it comes to batting cages, you may have space restrictions or may not need a full 70’ for pitching and just need a 40’ for hitting.

Batting-Cage-with-Synthetic-Turf-Smithtown-NY2What Type of Netting Do You Need? What Twine Size is Right?

We recommend people buy the largest twine they can afford. A #42 Twine net is about twice as thick and twice as strong as a #21 Twine. The larger twined, heavier cages will snag balls better, look better, wear better, last longer, and you will be happier with them. You need a minimum of 60 lbs. of tensile strength.

Choosing the Right Artificial Synthetic Turf

No matter how big or small your home or facility is, installing artificial turf in your batting cages is a worthwhile investment. Synthetic turf is designed to withstand wear and tear that occurs when equipment is in high demand.

Gappsi carries many different varieties of artificial turf to choose from for your batting cages. Artificial turf is suitable for use in indoor or outdoor batting cages. You can choose padded or unpadded turf in a variety of materials to suit your needs.

Outdoor artificial turf often resembles spears of grass. Outdoor cages can be outfitted with permeable artificial turf that allows rain and other liquids to run off and then be absorbed into the ground underneath. Indoor artificial turf can also look like grass spears, or it may look more like carpet.

Check out Artificial Turf & Synthetic Lawn Options

Artificial turf usually stands up to daily, continuous use for at least 8-10 years, with many installations lasting as long as 15 years. Artificial turf is resilient, and durable, and protects the flooring or ground in the cage from wear and damage. It requires much less maintenance than actual turf and holds up better to continued use.

If you have any questions about which turf would best suit your installation needs, our experts would be happy to assist you. Contact us today!

Vinyl Swimming Pool Remodeling in Dix Hills NY

Vinyl-Swimming-Pool-Remodeling-in-Dix-Hills-NY1 Over time, liners can fade in color and develop tears, that is when you need to think about a vinyl swimming pool remodel. Old equipment like heaters and pumps may need to be replaced or upgraded. Every homeowner knows that the best way to add new life, beauty, and value to their homes is a renovation or remodeling project. New siding and windows, a room addition, or other projects can make an existing home fresh and new again. The same thing is true of in-ground swimming pools. Gappsi is a full-service pool company located in Smithtown NY, we know that as pools age or their surroundings change, it’s natural for owners to want a fresh new look for their pools and backyards. We can renovate or remodel your existing pool at a fraction of the cost of replacing it while renewing its beauty, adding new features, and bringing new life to your outdoor recreation.

At Gappsi, we offer many types of remodeling and renovation projects for vinyl in-ground pools. We give your pool a great new look and give you new pride in your backyard recreation area.  Add new features at the same time and you’ll get a fresh, exciting new look.

Let us show you the latest in vinyl liner choices!

The most durable pool liners are typically thicker gauge vinyl, with 25 gauge being a common choice. Liners with double-welded seams also tend to be more durable. Additionally, liners treated with UV inhibitors can resist damage from the sun’s rays and last longer.

Liner Color and Pattern Options How to Choose

In vinyl pools, the color of the liner is one piece that dictates the overall color of the water and the aesthetic of the entire pool area. Liner colors come in so many patterns and hues that range from light aqua to bright blue to modern and moody and everything in between. Even with the same liner, the color looks different depending on the amount of clouds or sunlight, the depth of the water, the surrounding environment, and the time of day.  The best part about vinyl inground pool liners is that you have virtually an endless array of options in patterns, colors, shapes, and sizes. Beyond that, you’ll also have to factor in elements about your outdoor environment and pool usage. Let’s take a closer look at how you can make your pool match your life.

Vinyl-Swimming-Pool-Remodeling-in-Dix-Hills-NYVinyl Liner Swimming Pool Color

You may think that choosing a liner color is about personal taste, but there’s more to it. Dark liners can help absorb heat and warm up the water. They can also hide dirt and debris if you’re not keeping up with cleaning. But the darker the liner, the more likely it will be susceptible to bleaching by the sun and chlorine, and aging due to UV damage. Lighter liners may last longer because of less bleaching and UV damage. But you’ll have to stay on top of cleaning because dirt will show easily.

Vinyl Liner Swimming Pool Pattern

Liners will likely have two different patterns: a border pattern above the water and another below the water. Of course, you also have the option of choosing one solid color throughout. From tile, pebble, and slate patterns to wavy, swirling, or abstract designs, you can truly customize your look.

Vinyl Liner Swimming Pool Life Expectancy

A pool liner’s life expectancy is determined by how well you maintain your chemical balance, exposure to UV rays, freeze/thaw cycles, and whether you use a pool cover. Using a cover greatly reduces the amount of UV exposure vinyl inground pool liners receive. The location of your house and tree coverage can also affect the exposure. With appropriate care, most liners can last anywhere from 10 to 15 years.

Vinyl Liner Swimming Pool Thickness

When browsing pool liner options, thickness should also be a consideration. A thicker liner is more durable, puncture-resistant, and less likely to leak over time, however, it can be more difficult to install due to its rigidity.

Swimming Pool Upgrades to Add

  1. Mechanical Renovation – Upgrade your old pump, filters, heater, and more for energy savings and lower maintenance costs. We supply and install a large selection of top-quality equipment and will be happy to discuss how you may benefit from an upgrade by lowering your operating costs, automating your systems, and increasing your enjoyment.
  2. Automatic Cover – While you’re renovating and remodeling, consider adding an automatic cover. The benefits include improved safety, lower energy costs, reduced chemicals, and much, much more. We can quickly install a cover at a low cost.
  3. New Water Features We can add exciting new water features and new options to your pool as part of the remodeling job. From water slides to new pool entries, underwater lighting, and more.  Renew your excitement in aquatic recreation by finding new ways to enhance your enjoyment.
  4. Complete Remodeling – If your pool is old, outdated, or damaged, a complete remodeling job may be your best bet and will restore its beauty. Our pool design and construction company can turn an old, faded, or damaged swimming pool into a real asset to your property. We will be happy to show you the possibilities.

The Rise of Pickleball in New York

Pickleball has become one of the fastest-growing sports across New York, and for good reason. It’s incredibly easy to learn, making it accessible for all ages and fitness levels. The game is social, fast-paced, and a fantastic way to get the whole family moving. This surge in popularity has many homeowners dreaming of adding a personal court to their backyard, creating a convenient and fun space for practice, play, and friendly competition without ever having to leave home.

Imagine stepping outside to a professionally built court, ready for a spontaneous match with family or neighbors. At Gappsi, we specialize in turning that vision into a reality.

Whether you’re a seasoned player looking to sharpen your skills or a family seeking a new way to spend time together, a dedicated pickleball court can become the heart of your outdoor living space, providing endless hours of entertainment and activity.

The Gappsi Construction Process Explained

Building a sports game court is more than just pouring concrete and painting lines. It requires careful planning, precision, and expertise to ensure a safe, durable, and high-performing playing surface. That’s why we’ve developed a comprehensive construction process that covers every detail from the ground up. Our goal is to make the entire experience seamless and stress-free for you. We handle every phase of the project, from the initial site assessment to the final installation of accessories, so you can focus on planning your first match.

Our team of experienced professionals combines top-tier materials with proven construction techniques to deliver a court that not only looks amazing but also stands up to years of play and Long Island weather. We believe in clear communication and collaboration, working closely with you to ensure the final result perfectly matches your expectations. Let’s walk through the key steps we take to bring your dream court to life.

Step 1: Site Evaluation and Planning

The foundation of a great court begins long before the first tile is laid. Our process starts with a thorough site evaluation at your home. A Gappsi expert will assess your property to identify the ideal location for your new court. We consider several critical factors, including ground composition, potential drainage issues, and the court’s orientation relative to the sun. Proper planning at this stage is essential for the longevity and playability of your court. We handle all the technical details, from ensuring the sub-base is perfectly level to planning for fencing and lighting, creating a complete and professional plan for your project.

Proper Water Drainage and Court Orientation

Two of the most important technical aspects we address are water drainage and court orientation. A court without proper drainage can lead to puddles, surface damage, and premature wear. We engineer a subtle slope and drainage system to ensure water runs off efficiently, keeping your court ready for play. We also orient the court, typically on a north-south axis, to minimize sun glare for players during morning and afternoon games. By using the highest quality materials and adhering to official court regulations, we build a surface that is both safe and built for peak performance.

Step 2: Design, Get an Estimate, and Finalize

This is where your vision truly starts to take shape. We work with you to design a court that reflects your personal style and meets your family’s needs. You have complete creative control over the customization. You can choose from a wide variety of colors to match your home’s exterior, add custom logos of your favorite team, or design a multi-sport layout that includes lines for basketball or volleyball. We can also incorporate essential accessories like high-performance lighting for night games, containment fencing, and professional-grade nets. Once the design is perfected, we provide a detailed and transparent estimate so you know exactly what to expect.

Step 3: Schedule Your Installation

With your design finalized and approved, the last step is to get your project on the calendar. Our team will coordinate with you to schedule the installation at a time that is convenient for your family. We pride ourselves on our professionalism and efficiency, working diligently to complete the construction with minimal disruption to your daily life. Our skilled installers handle every aspect of the build with precision and care, ensuring that each component is perfectly placed. Before you know it, you’ll be ready to grab your paddle and enjoy the incredible fun and fitness that a home sports game court provides. You can even watch our team in action on past projects.

Court Materials and Surface Options

The surface you choose for your pickleball court directly impacts everything from ball bounce and game speed to player comfort and long-term safety. While asphalt and concrete are common base materials, the actual playing surface on top is what defines the experience. Modern solutions offer significant advantages over playing on bare, unforgiving hardscapes. Understanding these options is key to building a court that you’ll love for years to come. At Gappsi, we help Long Island homeowners navigate these choices to find the perfect fit for their backyard and playing style, ensuring a high-quality, durable, and safe environment for every match.

Asphalt, Concrete, and Specialized Court Tiles

Asphalt and concrete are common choices for court bases, but playing directly on these unforgiving surfaces can take a toll on your body. That’s why specialized court tiles are such a game-changer. We recommend and install advanced sports game court tiles that are specifically engineered to provide vertical and lateral give. This design significantly reduces stress on your joints, particularly your knees and ankles, making for a much more comfortable and safer playing experience. Unlike the harsh impact of concrete, these tiles offer a cushioned response that allows you to play longer and with less risk of strain or injury.

All-Weather Durability

A backyard court should be ready for a game whenever you are, regardless of the weather. Our court tiles are built for all-weather durability, resisting fading from the sun and allowing for quick drainage after rain. They are also shock-absorbent, which not only reduces player fatigue but also ensures a more consistent and predictable ball bounce. This feature enhances safety during quick pivots and jumps, giving you the confidence to play your best. The surface is also much softer than concrete, which helps protect against scrapes and more serious injuries from falls, making it a family-friendly choice.

Built to Official USAPA Standards

For an authentic pickleball experience, your court needs to be more than just a flat surface with a net. It should be built to the official standards set by the USA Pickleball Association (USAPA). This ensures that every aspect of the court, from the overall dimensions (44 feet long by 20 feet wide) to the net height and line markings, is accurate. Playing on a regulation court means you’re practicing the way you’d play in a competitive setting, which is perfect for sharpening your skills. It also guarantees a fair and consistent game for everyone who plays in your backyard.

At Gappsi, we construct every pickleball court with meticulous attention to these official guidelines. We handle the precise layout, including the non-volley zone (the “kitchen”), baselines, and sidelines, so you can be confident your court is ready for serious play. Adhering to USAPA standards not only legitimizes your home court but also protects your investment by ensuring it’s built correctly from the ground up. This commitment to quality means you get a professional-grade playing surface right in your own backyard, ready for friendly matches or tournament-level practice.

Choosing Your Net System

The net is the centerpiece of your pickleball court, and selecting the right system is a crucial decision that affects both gameplay and the versatility of your space. It’s more than just a divider; a quality net system ensures proper tension for authentic play. Your choice will depend on how you plan to use the court. Are you creating a dedicated, single-purpose pickleball court, or do you want a multi-sport area that can be adapted for other games? The two main options, permanent and portable nets, each offer distinct advantages. We can help you find a solution that aligns with your vision for your backyard entertainment space.

Permanent and Portable Nets

Permanent net systems are installed directly into the court surface with in-ground posts. This is the ideal choice for a dedicated pickleball court, as it provides superior tension and durability, just like you’d find at a professional facility. Portable nets, on the other hand, offer incredible flexibility. They can be set up and taken down in minutes, allowing you to easily convert your court for other activities. As part of your court design, we can also integrate other essential features, such as containment fencing to keep the ball in play and lighting systems for evening games.

Pickleball-Sports-Game-Court-and-Putting-Green-in-Peconic-NY0Putting Green with Synthetic Turf

Refine your putting stroke in your backyard putting green. Our natural breaks and slopes can mimic those on your favorite course; it’s like having a country club right outside your back door. The accuracy you develop on a putting green will transfer effortlessly onto all the greens of your favorite courses.  Next to the sports game court, we added a Putting Green with synthetic turf.  The putting green includes 4 holes, flags, and a sand bunker.

Gappsi Installed a Pickleball Sports Game Court in Peconic NY.

The pickleball court was built with an asphalt base, primed, and painted in two different colors.  The customer chose a lighter blue for the field and a darker blue for the pickleball court inlay. We striped the court with white lines and installed a removable pickleball netting in the center of the court. The Dominator Rolling Portable Pickleball Net is a completely rust-proof aluminum net with locking wheels on the frame that meets USA Pickleball’s official regulations. This net only takes about 5 minutes to assemble and the carrying bag makes transportation and storage a breeze. Every piece of the net system has a place to be kept when not in use!

Multi-Sport Game Court | Basketball Hoop – Half Court

In the center of the court, our team installed a basketball hoop.  A Pro Dunk Professional adjustable basketball hoop with a light attachment on top. The basketball court was striped with a black line, a full 3-point line as well as the key in the center.

Basketball is one of the most popular sports in the US and worldwide. Shooting hoops give you a great workout. You also -socialize with others when playing basketball, which is a great team-building exercise. Having a basketball hoop installed at home allows you to shoot hoops whenever you want. Whether you want your children to have a great time playing basketball right at home or if you’re up to shooting some hoops yourself, it can be an amazing investment.  This is the latest sports game court built by Gappsi in Peconic NY on the North Fork of Long Island.

Understanding the Cost of a Pickleball Court

One of the first questions on everyone’s mind is about the investment. Building a personal pickleball court is a significant home improvement project, and the cost can vary quite a bit. The final price tag depends on several factors, including the amount of site preparation needed, the type of court surface you choose, and any additional features you want to include. Things like professional lighting for nighttime play, perimeter fencing to keep the ball in play, and custom color schemes all play a role in the total cost. Think of it as creating a custom outdoor space tailored specifically to your family’s needs and your property’s unique layout.

While there’s a general price range, the best way to get a clear picture of the cost for your specific project is to get a detailed estimate. At Gappsi, we provide transparent quotes that break down every aspect of the installation. We’ll assess your property, discuss your vision for the court, and walk you through the material and feature options. This ensures you understand exactly what you’re investing in, with no surprises along the way. A well-built court not only provides endless entertainment but can also increase your property value, making it a worthwhile addition to your home.

Average Cost to Build in New York

So, what can you expect to invest in a pickleball court here on Long Island? Generally, the average cost to build a pickleball court in New York falls between $20,000 and $50,000. This range accounts for the diverse options available. A basic court on a pre-leveled surface will be on the lower end, while a project requiring significant excavation, retaining walls, premium surfacing, and high-end accessories like professional lighting will be at the higher end. The size of the court and the specific materials you select are the primary drivers of the final cost, making each project unique.

Financing Options for Your Project

We understand that a new sports game court is a major investment in your home and family’s lifestyle. To make this dream more accessible, many homeowners explore financing options to help manage the cost. Spreading the payments over time can make it easier to get the court you’ve always wanted without a significant upfront expense.

How to Care for Your New Court

Once your beautiful new pickleball court is installed, a little routine care will keep it in top condition for years of enjoyment. Proper maintenance is simple and doesn’t require a lot of time, but it makes a huge difference in the longevity and safety of the playing surface. The main goals are to keep the court clean, dry, and free of debris. Leaves, dirt, and standing water can not only make the surface slippery but can also contribute to premature wear and staining over time. By incorporating a few easy steps into your regular yard work routine, you can ensure your court is always ready for a game.

Post-Installation Maintenance Recommendations

To keep your court in prime condition, we recommend a few simple practices. First, sweep the court regularly with a soft-bristle broom to clear away any leaves, dust, or other debris. If you notice dirt or spills, it’s a good idea to rinse the court with a garden hose to prevent buildup. It’s also wise to periodically inspect the surface for any small cracks or chips that may appear over time. Catching these minor issues early and having them repaired quickly will prevent them from becoming larger problems down the road.

Sweeping, Rinsing, and Crack Repair

Regularly sweeping your court is the easiest way to protect the surface. Debris can be abrasive underfoot and can clog the pores of the court surface, which affects water drainage. Rinsing with water helps wash away fine particles that sweeping might miss. When you do your inspections, pay close attention to the areas that get the most play. If you spot a small crack, give us a call. Promptly addressing minor imperfections is the most effective way to ensure the structural integrity and flawless appearance of your court for the long term.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to build a pickleball court? The timeline for building your sports game court can vary depending on a few factors, like how much site preparation is needed and, of course, the weather. However, once we finalize the design and break ground, our team works efficiently to bring it to life. During our initial planning phase, we will provide you with a clear and realistic schedule so you know exactly what to expect.

My backyard isn’t perfectly level. Is a court still possible? Yes, absolutely. It’s very common for yards to have slopes or uneven areas. Our first step is always a thorough site evaluation where we assess your property’s specific needs. We handle all the necessary excavation and grading to create a perfectly stable and level base, ensuring your new court has the proper foundation for years of safe play.

What makes your court tiles better than just playing on concrete? The biggest difference is player comfort and safety. While concrete is a hard, unforgiving surface that can be tough on your knees and ankles, our specialized sports game court tiles are engineered to absorb impact. This cushioning effect reduces stress on your joints, allowing you to play longer and more comfortably. The tiles also provide a more consistent ball bounce and drain water quickly, so you can get back to playing sooner after it rains.

Can I use the court for other sports besides pickleball? Of course. We design our sports games courts to be versatile hubs for all kinds of activities. During the design phase, we can easily add lines for basketball, volleyball, shuffleboard, or any other game your family enjoys. We can also install features like adjustable basketball hoops and portable net systems to make switching between sports simple and fast.

What kind of maintenance does a new court require? Keeping your court in top shape is surprisingly simple. We recommend regularly sweeping the surface with a soft broom to clear away leaves and debris. An occasional rinse with a garden hose can also help keep it clean. If you ever notice a small crack or need more significant work down the road, our team offers complete repair and resurfacing services to make your court feel brand new again.

Key Takeaways

  • Plan your court from the ground up: A successful installation starts with a professional site evaluation to manage drainage and sun exposure, followed by a collaborative design process where you choose everything from colors and logos to lighting and fencing.
  • Prioritize safety with the right surface: Modern sports game court tiles offer significant advantages over plain concrete or asphalt by providing shock absorption that reduces stress on joints, making play more comfortable and helping to prevent injuries.
  • Protect your investment for long-term fun: A new court adds value to your home, and you can keep it in top condition for years with simple maintenance like regular sweeping and rinsing, along with professional support for any necessary repairs.

Free-Formed Vinyl Pool and Travertine Patio Installation in Smithtown

Free-Formed-Vinyl-Pool-and-Travertine-Patio-Installation-in-Smithtown3Free-formed vinyl pool and travertine patio installation in Smithtown that looks as good as it did when it was first installed 13 years ago.  Travertine pavers and tiles have been a popular choice for centuries, and with good reason. Travertine has a timeless elegance that seamlessly matches almost any decor and never goes out of style. Plus, thanks to its natural stone properties, it’s perfect for outdoor areas, driveways, patios, pools, hardscapes, stair treads, and more.

Travertine is one of the most popular natural stone products (along with flagstone, limestone, and marble) that are used for large outdoor paving stones. Travertine is naturally slip-resistant, making it great for outdoor flooring, pool decks, and pool coping.

It’s also durable and long-lasting in exterior applications. If you live in a climate with freeze/thaw cycles, exterior travertine tile is a smart choice since it can handle temperature extremes.

And since it comes in a variety of natural hues and colors, it looks right at home in the outdoors next to other surfaces like wood, grass, and natural stone products.  Here are a few things to consider when planning your design.

Free-Formed-Vinyl-Pool-and-Travertine-Patio-Installation-in-SmithtownChiseled & Tumbled Finish

Chiseled and tumbled finishes are popular for outdoor areas due to their rustic look. Honed tile has a more polished finish and can be great for grill areas, outdoor kitchens, or anywhere else you want a refined look.

  • Indoor flooring tile will have a smoother and more polished finish.
  • Exterior pavers are much thicker, with a more rustic finish.

Choosing The Best Pattern

The pattern can also make a big difference in the overall look of the outdoor floor. Some of the most common patterns are:

  • Running Bond: A running bond pattern with silver or grey pavers is a nice choice for a cool modern look.
  • Basket Weave
  • Herringbone
  • French Pattern: The French pattern with chiseled pavers gives a refined, old-world look to your patio.

Custom Free-form Vinyl Pools

Custom in-ground pools are attractive and have features with endless customization options. With your pool installation, you can add lighting, fountains, and decorative tile or stone.  All while creating a surrounding landscaping that evokes a tropical paradise! Each time you step outside, it will be like stepping out of your home into a luxury resort.

As a homeowner, you want to do everything you can to improve your home’s value.  Custom pools on Long Island are highly sought-after amenities that will attract buyers and boost your home’s value. An inground pool can last for decades, so even if you’re not going anywhere for a while, you’ll get years of enjoyment from your pool, and then you can look forward to a return on your investment when it’s time to sell.

Free-Formed-Vinyl-Pool-and-Travertine-Patio-Installation-in-Smithtown2At Gappsi, we provide comprehensive services related to both the design and construction of vinyl liner pools.  It all starts by helping you design the right pool for the size and shape of your yard, budget, and even HOA guidelines. We’ll combine those boundaries with your design preferences to create the perfect in-ground pool and surroundings.

Our pool builders at Gappsi have a thorough, step-by-step building process to make the installation as quick, efficient, and hassle-free as possible. From the time we receive the permit and start outlining your space, to the setup of the initial chemical treatment.  Once the pool is ready, you can depend on us to do the job right!

Make Your Pool Area Look Timeless and Stylish with Travertine Pavers

Free-Formed Vinyl Pool and Travertine Pavers in Smithtown, NY

This backyard was designed and built by Gappsi in 2010 over 13 years ago.  Jeff happened to stop by and visit recently the home. As you can see this project is just as nice as the day it was installed by Gappsi. Our team built a free-form vinyl pool with concrete walls and a bench in the deep end.

The homeowner chose a mocha-colored full-nose travertine stone for the pool’s coping. The patio was installed with Classico Travertine a lighter version of the moca travertine.

The raised patio was built with Hanover Chapel Stones for the wall and steps.  We also used Hanover Chapel Stones for the raised wall structure and the caps for the wall. The raised patio area uses the same travertine stone for the sitting wall and the radius section that surrounds the dining table.

Free-Formed-Vinyl-Pool-and-Travertine-Patio-Installation-in-Smithtown1We installed a water feature with a sheer descent wallfall that is self-contained.  A captivating waterfall for any new, remodeled, or existing pool area.  The waterfall faces the back door to the home and is in the center between the outdoor kitchen and seating area.

Outdoor Kitchen and Grill

Gappsi installed an outdoor kitchen that includes a Wolf Grill, bar sink, and an outdoor refrigerator. The backyard was kept immaculate with the beautiful natural backdrop setting of evergreens and manicured landscape.

Tile & Grout – Restoration Cleaning Coloring Sealing

Tile & Grout – Restoration Cleaning Coloring Sealing only at Gappsi.  Tile cleaning is tough work. Grout cleaning is even harder. Over time, tile floors and surfaces lose their shine and luster. Scrubbing and mopping do not generally yield the results needed for a deep clean. Because grout is porous and absorbs all the dirt and debris on it, mopping only removes surface soil and not the embedded dirt that causes the grout to become dull.

Our residential tile and grout cleaning and grout-sealing product helps maintain the cleaned grout for months and makes your regular home maintenance more effective. Also, if your grout is discolored or you want to update the look, we offer grout re-coloring services in a variety of colors to suit your style.

Gappsi Tile and Grout Deep Cleaning

Gappsi has trained technicians who use specialized equipment.  It extracts deeply embedded dirt and grime, thoroughly cleaning and sanitizing your tile, grout, and baseboards. We use nonabrasive yet effective methods with adjustable heat and pressure for deep-down cleaning.

1-Tile-and-grout-cleaning-applying-cleanersWe service all sorts of tile: stone, ceramic, porcelain, clay, and more on floors, shower walls, backsplashes, vanities, tub surrounds, hot tub surrounds, pool decks, table tops, and more throughout Long Island.

Our steam cleaning yields stunning results! If you have soiled grout it can respond to steam cleaning as suddenly as what happens when you spill bleach on black cloths.  The grout is often restored to a uniform color and sanitized the very second the steam wand runs across the tile and grout surface.

2-Tile-and-grout-cleaning-steam-washing-and-brusching-grout-jointsTile and Grout Restoration Repair 

  • Shower Restoration, Cleaning & Caulking​ – We offer a variety of shower restoration services. We use alkaline cleaners or acid cleaners to remove soap scum, calcium deposits, and dead skin cells. We also provide caulking services and grout repairs for damaged areas of the tile floor. We can apply sealants to protect your grout from future damage.
  • Tile & Grout Repairs – When grout is cracked, crumbling, or stained over time there are several repair options. If only certain areas of the grout are damaged, we may be able to add more grout material or re-grout those areas. If the entire floor needs repair, we can either re-grout the entire floor or color your existing grout to match the original color.

4-Tile-and-grout-cleaning-and-coloring-grout-jointsGrout Recoloring | Grout Color Sealing

After thoroughly cleaning your grout, we can apply a pigmented sealer that seals your grout and covers up the stains.

With recoloring, we can change the color of your grout to a lighter or darker color or match the original color. We will work with you to choose the right color for your grout. Changing the color of the grout in a bathroom, kitchen, or any tiled area can give the room a new look and feel!

If your sanded grout has cracked due to loose tiles, broken thresholds, or other causes, we can repair it before color sealing.

Grout recoloring will save you time and effort by repelling soil and stains, making cleaning easier. The pigmented sealer will also last up to ten times longer than standard sealer; this offers the highest protection level. Grout recoloring can change your tile’s look, saving you money on costly remodels. Color-sealed grout is easy to clean, saving you time and money by eliminating the need for harsh cleaners. Give new life to your existing tile and grout by having your local Grout Doctor color seal it for you!

Color-sealed grout is easy to clean because you simply wipe down the tiles with a clean cloth or mop. There is no scrubbing needed.  The color seal protects your grout from the dirt, grime, and liquids that caused the stains in the first place.

6-Applying-final-coat-of-clear-sealerWhat You Can Expect from Gappsi

When you choose Gappsi for professional grout cleaning and color sealing you will receive 100% Satisfaction

Step One – Prep Existing Floor – our professionals have perfected tile and grout restoration. We can make dirty, discolored grout lines look like new regardless of the choice of color. If you prefer the original appearance, we can restore, clean, repair, and seal your existing grout. If you prefer to add something special to your existing tile floor, Gappsi can help you mix and match the tile and grout line colors.

Step Two – Select Color for Grout – Gappsi can turn dingy, dark grout lines into clean, white grout lines.  We can apply a color sealer that will also provide lasting protection. Our color matching system allows our customers to choose a new grout color for a customized appearance.

Step Three – Apply New Grout – Grout is a concrete and sand mixture.  When you have your renovated grout color sealed it protects it from accidents.  All those unexpected spills, foot traffic, and day-to-day life.  Having unprotected grout lines can absorb the stains leaving discoloration and/or create a breeding ground for odor-causing bacteria as in pet-related accidents. Protective sealant allows for a quick mop and your tile floor is as good as new.

Step Four – Tile & Grout Sealed for Protection – Our proven process for grout restoration and color sealing means you no longer have to face the dilemma of ugly, unsanitary grout lines in your bathrooms, kitchen, or family room. Don’t waste your time scrubbing discolored grout lines with harsh chemicals.

7-Wiping-off-the-access-sealer-off-the-tiles-and-spreading-it-into-the-grout-jointsGrout color sealing can break down over time and will need to be resealed to keep your grout in great condition. We recommend grout sealing once a year in areas without moisture, and as needed in high-moisture areas such as kitchens and bathrooms.

In this video, you can view the process of cleaning and coloring the grout from this demonstration floor.  You can see the difference in the before and after.  We start by applying the grout and tile cleaner over the tiles and the grout joints.  We allow it to sit for a few minutes.  Next, we steam-wash the entire floor. Then, we start the cleaning process of the joints with hot steam and a brass brush.  We use a vacuum to remove leftover dirt from the grout joints for the final general cleaning of the tiles and grout.

Gappsi Coloring Process for Grout

Next is the process of coloring the grout after they have been cleaned.  There is a huge transformation from before, as you can see in the part of the floor that has not been cleaned yet.  The joints have not been colored before.  After the next step, we will apply a protective sealer on the grout and tiles. Now, when applying the final coat of clear sealer, this sealer will not enhance the color of the grout or the tiles but will prevent it from getting dirty.  We wipe off the excess sealer and get the sealer into the grout and joints and off the tile surface for a clean finish.
