    What Is Included in a Backsplash Installation?

    Every backsplash installation includes measuring, layout, demo and prep, tile setting, grouting, sealing, and full cleanup. We turn the job from a vague service into a concrete, finished deliverable.

    Our Backsplash Installation Process (Step by Step)

    1. Measure and layout. Matt and his team measure the backsplash field, mark the layout, and confirm tile quantity before a single tile is cut.
    2. Demo and surface prep. We remove your existing backsplash tile if needed, patch any damage, and confirm the wall surface is clean, flat, and ready for adhesion.
    3. Backer or wall prep. For areas with potential moisture exposure (near the sink), we install or inspect the backer surface to protect your wall long-term.
    4. Tile setting. We apply thinset mortar, set the tile to your layout, and cut cleanly around outlets, corners, and edges using wet saw cuts.
    5. Grouting. After the mortar cures, we apply your chosen grout color, work it fully into the joints, and clean the tile face.
    6. Sealing. Natural stone and unglazed tile receive a penetrating sealer at no additional charge. Standard ceramic and porcelain grout joints are sealed to protect against staining.
    7. Cleanup. We remove all debris, tile remnants, and packaging. You get a finished backsplash, not a construction zone.

    Do You Remove the Old Backsplash?

    Yes. We include old backsplash removal as part of most installation projects. Demo cost ranges from $3 to $6 per square foot and is quoted separately so you see the exact cost breakdown. If your existing backsplash is peel-and-stick or easily lifted, demo may have no additional charge, we assess on-site.

    Backsplash Tile Options We Install

    Subway Tile Backsplash Installation

    Subway tile is the most popular kitchen backsplash choice for good reason: it is clean, timeless, and one of the most affordable installed options. Standard 3x6 white subway tile installs from approximately $35 to $55 per square foot all-in (tile plus labor). Stacked, offset, herringbone, and vertical patterns are all options, pattern complexity affects labor cost.

    Mosaic Tile Backsplash Installation

    Glass and ceramic mosaic tile (typically on mesh-backed sheets) creates a textured, decorative effect. Because sheets require careful alignment and more cutting at edges, mosaic installation runs slightly higher: typically $45 to $75 per square foot all-in. Glass mosaic in particular requires a white thinset and a non-sanded grout, details we handle without you having to specify them.

    Natural Stone Backsplash Installation

    Marble, travertine, slate, and other natural stone tiles bring warmth and a premium look to kitchen and bathroom backsplashes. Stone requires more prep (back-buttering each tile, ensuring flat walls) and adds a sealing step. Installed pricing for natural stone typically runs $55 to $95 per square foot all-in, depending on stone type and tile size.

    Porcelain and Large-Format Tile Backsplash

    Porcelain tile offers the look of stone with greater durability and lower maintenance. Large-format tiles (greater than 12x12) require a flatter wall surface and more precise layout work. Installed porcelain backsplash typically runs $40 to $70 per square foot all-in.

    Kitchen Backsplash vs. Bathroom Backsplash Installation

    Kitchen backsplash installation is our most common backsplash request. A standard kitchen backsplash runs approximately 30 to 50 square feet (counter-to-cabinet between the stove and sink). Most kitchen backsplash jobs are completed in one full day.

    Bathroom backsplash installation (behind the vanity or above a bathtub ledge) typically runs 10 to 20 square feet and is completed in a half-day. We also install full shower surrounds and tub surrounds, contact us for a separate quote on those.

    Adjacent services: bathroom caulking around the tub, sink, or vanity is included as a finishing step on any bathroom tile project. If you need standalone caulk replacement in Mokena, we can quote that separately. For general floor tile and shower tile installation, see our dedicated tile contractor page.

    How Long Does Backsplash Installation Take?

    A standard kitchen backsplash (30 to 50 square feet) typically takes one full day to install, including demo, tile setting, and grouting. Small bathroom backsplashes (10 to 20 sq ft) often take half a day. We schedule a second visit for grout sealing 24 to 48 hours after installation when required by the tile or grout type. We give you a specific schedule at the time of estimate so you can plan around it.
