Kitchen Backsplash Options
Backsplashes serve both function (wall protection) and style (visual focal point). We install all types with proper technique for lasting results.
Subway Tile
The classic 3"x6" subway tile in white or colors. Timeless appeal with versatile layout options — straight stack, offset, herringbone.
Glass Tile
Reflective and modern, available in endless colors. Requires special techniques for proper adhesion and grout selection.
Mosaic Tile
Small tiles on mesh backing create intricate patterns. Great for accent areas, niches, and adding visual interest.
Large Format Tile
12"+ tiles with fewer grout lines for a sleek, contemporary look. Requires level walls and precise installation.

Full-height to ceiling? Just behind the range? Wraparound or focal wall only? We help plan coverage and layout for best results.

Kitchen Backsplash Installation FAQs
Quick answers before you request a quote.
Do I need to remove my old backsplash?
Usually yes. Tiling over existing tile can work but adds thickness that affects outlets and edges. Clean wall surface is preferred.
Should the backsplash go all the way to the ceiling?
It can. Full-height backsplashes look seamless and are easier to clean. Standard installation stops at the bottom of upper cabinets.
What about outlets and switches in the backsplash area?
We tile around electrical boxes with proper cuts. Outlet and switch plates go over the tile. Specialty plates can match the tile look.
Can I install backsplash over drywall?
Yes, painted drywall is fine for backsplash areas. We may need to prime or scarify the surface for better adhesion.
What grout color should I choose?
Light grout shows the tile pattern better but requires more maintenance. Dark grout hides dirt but changes the tile's appearance.
