About · Matt Mustakas, Owner
You Hire Me.I Do The Work.
I started this company with a clear idea: specialized work should be done with care, precision, and personal accountability. Instead of trying to be everything to everyone, I chose to focus on one craft, professional caulking and joint sealing, and do it to a higher standard.
I'm Matt, the owner and craftsman behind Creative Solutions LI.
What You Get When You Hire Me
When you hire Creative Solutions LI, you're working directly with me. I'm the person who answers your questions, reviews your project, recommends the right solution, and makes sure the finished work is clean, consistent, and built to last.
I understand that the smallest details can change the appearance of an entire space. A clean joint, the right color match, and a properly finished line may seem minor, but they make a major difference. That attention to detail is what I bring to every kitchen, bathroom, window, doorway, patio, stone surface, and commercial project.
I'm not sending someone else to represent my standards. I'm the one bringing them to your project.
Communicate clearly
You get straight answers about what the job needs, what it costs, and when it happens. No runaround.
Respect the property
Surfaces get protected, the work area stays controlled, and the space is left clean when I go.
Stand behind the result
Creative Solutions LI is more than a service company with my name behind it. It reflects how I work and I take pride in the process.
My Story
My career in waterproofing and specialty caulking began before I joined the union. I worked for non-union commercial and residential waterproofing companies as a foreman who was responsible for running crews, coordinating job-site logistics, managing materials and schedules, and helping projects move efficiently from preparation through completion.
That experience gave me more than technical knowledge. It taught me how to lead a team, communicate with contractors and property owners, solve problems in the field, and manage the many details required to complete a project correctly and on schedule.
I later joined Stone Setters Local 1, where I have worked as a specialty caulker alongside highly skilled stone setters and other union tradespeople. Through this work, I have contributed to major commercial, public, and landmark projects throughout New York.
Union work · Stone Setters Local 1
- Madison Square Garden — stonework at the grand entrance and Penn Plaza
- Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge
- Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts
- Tanger Outlets at the Arches, Deer Park
- The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 125 Columbus Avenue — current project
- Commercial, institutional, residential, and high-profile construction throughout New York
Working on projects of this scale has reinforced that professional caulking and waterproofing involve much more than simply filling a joint. The work requires proper preparation, knowledge of different building materials, correct sealant selection, an understanding of movement and adhesion, precise color matching, and clean, consistent finishing.
I founded Creative Solutions LI to bring that same level of field experience, project management, and union craftsmanship directly to residential and commercial customers throughout Long Island.
Same priorities, every job
Whether I'm working on a large commercial installation or restoring the joints around a homeowner's kitchen, bathroom, windows, doors, patio, or stonework, I approach every project with the same priorities: clear communication, proper preparation, respect for the property, and a finished result built to last.
Creative Solutions LI is backed by years of hands-on waterproofing experience, crew leadership, project management, union training, and specialized craftsmanship, personally delivered by the owner.
