Where does a tile backsplash belong?
A tile backsplash belongs anywhere you want a wipeable, durable surface instead of painted drywall — kitchen counter walls, behind the range, wet bars, and laundry room sinks. It is one of the most-noticed surfaces in any room, and a clean backsplash makes the whole space feel finished. We install backsplash tile across Grand Rapids and West Michigan year-round.
Do you install backsplashes outside the kitchen?
Yes — backsplash tile isn't just for behind the kitchen counter. It belongs anywhere you'd rather have a wipeable, durable surface than painted drywall — kitchen counter walls, behind a range or cooktop, behind a wet bar, and behind a laundry room sink. These are the splash zones we work in across Grand Rapids and West Michigan.
What types of backsplash tile do you install?
We work with subway tile, marble-look porcelain, ceramic, glass mosaic, natural stone, and large-format porcelain slabs. The tile you choose changes the feel of the room — a herringbone subway pattern reads classic and warm, while a single large slab behind the cooktop reads modern and minimal. We bring samples to your home so you can see how the tile reads against your existing cabinets and counters before you commit.
What does a quality backsplash install include?
A good backsplash install is more than just sticking tile to drywall. We level the wall, set tile dead-flat with leveling clips, plan the cuts so they land in inconspicuous spots, and finish edges cleanly with bullnose, metal trim, or a similar profile. Backsplash work also coordinates well with a kitchen tile installation if you're updating the floor at the same time, or with a tile accent wall if you want to extend the backsplash into a feature wall.
Can backsplash tile be installed any time of year?
Backsplash installation is entirely indoor work, so it can be scheduled any time of year. Most kitchen backsplashes take one to two days from start to finish, depending on the layout and tile choice. Larger full-height installations or wet bars may take a day longer.
