Planning the layout
- Where the backsplash starts and stops — counter ends, cabinets, windows.
- Height: to the bottom of upper cabinets, or full height on open walls.
- Edge finish: metal trim, bullnose tile or a natural edge.
- Pattern: running bond, stacked, herringbone or other.
Outlets and switches
Outlets and switches in the backsplash area may need box extenders so covers sit properly over the new tile. Any electrical changes beyond that are electrical work and are not promised here.
Part of a bigger update
Backsplashes pair naturally with a kitchen refresh, cabinet painting or new countertops. Countertops should be installed first.
What to send
Photos of the wall areas, rough measurements, and the tile you are considering.
Common questions
How much tile do I need?
Measure the wall areas and add extra for cuts and breakage. Patterned layouts usually need more.
Can tile go over an old backsplash?
Sometimes, but it changes the depth at outlets and edges. Removal is often cleaner.
