Our Professional Backsplash Installation Process
Design Consultation & Material Selection
We begin with an in-depth consultation to understand your vision, style preferences, and budget. We'll help you select the perfect tile material, color, size, and pattern that complements your countertops, cabinets, and overall kitchen design. We provide samples and show you design options to visualize the final result.
Surface Preparation & Wall Assessment
Proper preparation is crucial for a lasting installation. We inspect your walls for levelness, repair any damage, and ensure the surface is clean, dry, and structurally sound. If needed, we install cement board or waterproof backing to create the ideal substrate for tile adhesion and moisture resistance.
Precise Layout & Tile Cutting
Before applying any adhesive, we carefully measure and plan the tile layout to minimize cuts, center the pattern, and ensure symmetry around outlets and windows. Using professional tile saws and wet cutters, we make precise cuts for outlets, corners, and edges—no chipping or rough edges.
Expert Tile Installation
We apply thin-set mortar using proper trowel techniques for optimal adhesion and install each tile with precision spacers to maintain consistent grout lines. We check for level continuously and adjust as needed. Special attention is paid to outlets, corners, and transitions for a seamless professional finish.
Professional Grouting & Sealing
After the adhesive cures, we apply grout in your chosen color, ensuring complete fill and proper compaction. We clean excess grout immediately and polish tiles to a perfect finish. For natural stone and porous tiles, we apply penetrating sealers to protect against stains and moisture. Finally, we caulk all seams where the backsplash meets countertops or cabinets for a waterproof seal.

Frequently Asked Questions About Backsplash Installation
How much does backsplash installation cost?
Backsplash installation typically costs between $800 and $3,500 depending on the size of your kitchen, tile material selected, pattern complexity, and preparation work needed. Basic ceramic subway tile installations start around $800-$1,200 for a standard kitchen, while premium materials like marble or intricate mosaic patterns can range from $2,000-$3,500+. We provide free, detailed quotes that include all materials and labor—no surprises.
How long does backsplash installation take?
Most standard backsplash installations are completed in 1-2 days. Day one involves surface preparation, tile layout, and tile installation. After the adhesive cures overnight, we return on day two for grouting, sealing, and final cleanup. More complex projects with intricate patterns or extensive wall preparation may take 3 days. Your kitchen remains functional throughout the process.
What's the most popular backsplash style right now?
White subway tile remains the most popular choice for its timeless appeal and versatility, but we're seeing increasing demand for modern alternatives. Current trends include 3x12 or 4x12 elongated subway tiles, herringbone patterns, large format porcelain slabs that mimic marble, and statement-making patterned cement tiles. Neutral colors (white, gray, beige) dominate, though bold accent backsplashes behind stoves are gaining popularity.
Do I need to remove my old backsplash first?
In most cases, yes—removing the old backsplash ensures proper adhesion and a flat, stable surface for new tile. We carefully remove existing tile or wallpaper, repair any wall damage, and prepare the surface properly. In rare cases where existing tile is firmly bonded and level, it's possible to tile over it, but this isn't ideal. We'll assess your specific situation during the consultation and recommend the best approach.
How do I choose the right grout color?
Grout color dramatically affects your backsplash's appearance. Matching grout to your tile color creates a seamless, cohesive look and hides dirt better. Contrasting grout (especially dark grout with white tile) makes a bold design statement and emphasizes the tile pattern. We recommend bringing home grout samples and viewing them against your tile and countertops in your kitchen's lighting. We also offer stain-resistant epoxy grout for easier maintenance.
Can you install backsplash over drywall?
Yes, properly prepared drywall is suitable for backsplash installation in most kitchen areas. However, in high-moisture zones directly behind sinks or near dishwashers, we recommend installing cement board or waterproof backing for added protection. We assess your specific kitchen layout and moisture exposure to recommend the appropriate substrate. All surfaces are properly primed before tile installation to ensure long-lasting adhesion.
