Born in Santa Monica, owner Tom Bralley has always lived and worked in Southern California. He attended UCLA, where he studied math, science and the arts. After graduating with a degree in music, he combined the precision of the sciences with the creativeness of the arts and began his professional career in decorative painting and finishing. Tom quickly became firmly established in the community for consistently delivering the highest quality of workmanship to every client. After dedicating years to the painting profession, Tom saw the opportunity to use his painting expertise and his knowledge of color to expand into the specialty field of restoring, sealing and finishing vintage terracotta tile. B Sealed was born through past experience and through a new vision. Tom became an innovator in restoring valuable and historical pieces. The business has now grown to include the restoration of not one, but a variety of surfaces. And through all the growth, Tom continues to follow his original credo: “Always offer the highest quality; Satisfy the customer at all costs.” From his humble beginnings as a painter, Tom's passion and expertise in sealing is now sought worldwide. Yet, his creativeness, his energy and his joy are still derived from the gratitude of his customers that continue to acknowledge that “his workmanship is impeccable and his service outstanding.”
