What Is Kitchen Backsplash Installation?
Backsplash installation adds or replaces the tile or surface behind your counters and range, protecting the wall while finishing the kitchen's overall look. It's one of the more affordable ways for Aurora, IL homeowners to meaningfully update a kitchen's appearance.
Why You Need It
A missing or damaged backsplash leaves drywall exposed to grease, moisture, and heat near the stove and sink, which can lead to staining, mold, or wall damage over time. Cracked or loose backsplash tile can also let water behind the wall near the sink area.
Our Process
1. Design Consultation
We discuss tile style, pattern, and how the backsplash should relate to your countertops and cabinets.
2. Wall Prep

3. Tile Installation
Tile is set in the chosen pattern, cut precisely around outlets and fixtures.
4. Grouting and Sealing
