    Lucas and his team did a REMARKABLE job refinishing our kitchen cabinets! Despite my hovering, Daniel and Renato were patient, polite and accommodating throughout the process. They were also very neat—cleaned up each day.…

  • Lori Horak

    Lucas and his team helped with a bathroom remodel that we were doing. They were responsible for all tile work, paint, moldings and install of our vanity. In addition, they painted our ceilings in several other rooms. They were completely professional. The work was done on schedule, they cleaned up each day prior to leaving our home, and the work is beautifully done. I would not hesitate to use them again.

What shapes the job

What decides how long a backsplash takes

01

Biggest factor

The pattern

Straight rows of subway tile are the fastest thing we install. Herringbone and chevron mean cutting nearly every edge piece.

02

Cuts

Outlets and switches

Each one needs the tile cut around it and the cover plate reset afterward. We count them at the walkthrough.

03

Pieces

Tile size

Small tiles like mosaic or penny tile mean many more pieces and grout lines than larger tile on the same wall.

04

Prep

The wall itself

A flat, sound wall is ready to tile. Old adhesive, patched drywall or a dip in the wall gets prepped first.

05

Area

The size of the wall

Most kitchen backsplashes run about 30 to 40 square feet. Size matters less than the pattern and the outlets.

06

You choose

Your tile choice

You pick the tile at the store and pay store price. We tell you how much to order, including extra for cuts.

Layouts and materials

Choose your backsplash pattern and material

Pick the layout and the tile for your kitchen wall, and we set it.

Straight lay

A clean square grid. Works on floors, shower walls and almost any room.

Offset / brick

Staggered joints, like brick. A natural fit for subway tile on walls and backsplashes.

Stacked

Tall rectangular tiles set in straight columns. A modern look for shower walls.

Herringbone

Adds movement to a backsplash or a shower floor.

Chevron

Zigzag lines that make a feature wall or backsplash stand out.

Diagonal

Square tile turned 45 degrees. Works on floors and entries.

Hexagon

A classic for bathroom floors and shower floors.

Mosaic

Small tiles on a sheet, often used for shower floors and accents.

Straight, offset and brick patterns are in our price. Herringbone, chevron and borders take longer, so they are priced on your quote.

Tile materials we install

Ceramic

  • Best on walls, backsplashes and lighter-use floors
  • Fine in a shower when properly waterproofed
  • Easy upkeep: wipe clean, no sealing

Porcelain

  • Denser than ceramic and absorbs very little water
  • Great for floors, showers and large-format tile
  • Easy upkeep: wipe clean, no sealing

Natural stone

  • Marble and others: every tile has its own veining
  • Porous, so it needs sealing before and after install
  • More upkeep than ceramic or porcelain

You pick and buy the tile. We tell you exactly how much to order.
