What the work should include
We review the wall base, existing finish and backsplash dimensions. The scope can include removal, surface preparation, layout, setting and grout, with outlet or electrical work defined separately. Confirm where the backsplash stops beside windows, tall cabinets and open wall sections.
Choices to make before work starts
Compare tile size, pattern and edge treatment with the counter and cabinet lines. A layout preview helps identify narrow cuts and awkward endings before installation. Confirm grout color with the tile rather than assuming that a white tile requires a bright white joint.
What affects the estimate and schedule
Pattern detail, small cuts and wall repair influence labor. Send a full kitchen view, close-ups of outlet locations and the selected tile dimensions.

A question about this work
Can new tile be installed over the existing backsplash?
Sometimes the existing base may be suitable, but its condition, bond and added thickness need review before that approach is approved.
