Kitchen Backsplash Installation Services

A kitchen backsplash goes in last, after the counters and cabinets are already in and already paid for. From that day on it catches grease, steam and more scrutiny than any other wall in the house — so the courses have to be dead level and the cuts have to land where they were planned.

The recent kitchens are on this site

Four of our kitchen backsplashes are photographed on this site start to finish — not stock photos, the actual walls: green gloss plank tile run the full length of the kitchen in Greenwood Village, a to-the-studs rebuild behind white square tile in Aurora, cream tile in another Aurora kitchen, and stacked black subway against white cabinets in Denver. Each one is linked from the sections that follow, and all four appear as project cards at the bottom of this page.

If one of these looks like your kitchen, a photo of your wall and the length of the run is all it takes to get a number.

What a kitchen run involves

The pattern is a work decision, not just a style one

A staggered running bond, a straight stack where vertical joints line up column by column, or a plain grid with joints aligned both ways — each one moves where the cuts land at corners, outlets and edges. On the Denver black subway kitchen the stack wraps an L-shaped run and a short return wall and ends in one clean cut line on the open wall.

Edges and hoods

A backsplash does not have to stop at a straight line under the cabinets. In Greenwood Village the field climbs higher on the wall behind the range hood and wraps an outside corner at the end of the run with tight cuts at the return. We cut on site, so the lines meet your countertop, not almost.

Outlets are where backsplashes fail

Every outlet box in the wall has to come forward to match the new tile thickness. On the Aurora rebuild the boxes were measured, reset and extended flush with the new tile face; on the cream tile kitchen the brass outlet covers went back on over wet-saw-cut notches. A cover plate sitting proud of wavy cuts is the surest sign of a rushed job.

Grout is the finish line

Grout gets pressed in with a rubber float and the faces wiped down — and the color is part of the design: on the black subway wall a light gray grout keeps every joint readable against the dark tile. The seam where tile meets the counter is not grouted at all; it is caulked, because that joint moves.

Materials and wall rates

The numbers below are installation rates per square foot on walls, straight from our price list — the tile itself is priced separately at the store you buy it from.

White subway tile backsplash with dark grout behind a stainless steel gas range

Ceramic or porcelain

Subway included — durable, heat-tolerant and easy to clean behind a range

from $17 sf
Green and white vertical glass tile backsplash behind a sink with a pull-down faucet

Glass mosaic on mesh

Glass runs on mesh backing and asks for more careful handling and cuts

from $30 sf
Gray linear natural stone backsplash above a stainless steel sink and faucet

Marble or granite

Heavier tile, harder cuts, stricter layout — priced for the extra care

from $25 sf

Small formats from 2x3 to 8x12 inches run from $25 per square foot — at that size the wall is more grout line than tile, and grout lines are set by hand. Complex mosaic with pattern matching is $40. Cutting, drilling and grout work are itemized on the price list.

Questions and answers

How long does a kitchen backsplash take?

Most kitchen backsplashes take a day or two — closer to two when the layout has a hood wall, a window or a lot of outlets. If the wall behind the old tile turns out to be damaged, it takes longer, and you will know before we start, not after.

Can you tile over the existing backsplash?

In many cases, yes — the old tile has to be solidly bonded, and the added thickness has to work at the counter edge and the outlet boxes. We check both before anything is decided. When the old tile comes off instead, be ready for the wall to need repair before new tile goes up.

Which materials handle the heat behind a range?

Porcelain and ceramic do not care about the heat coming off a range, which is why that is what you usually see behind one — and the layout around the range matters more than the brochure does.

What maintenance will a new backsplash need?

For ceramic or glass, a wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Natural stone may need special cleaners and periodic resealing to keep its appearance.

Will my outlets sit flush with the new tile?

Yes — that is part of the job, not an extra. Every box gets brought forward to the new tile thickness so the cover plates sit flat instead of floating on their screws, the way they did on the Aurora rebuild shown on this site.

We recently had a subway tile backsplash installed, and it completely transformed our kitchen. It really tied everything together and gave the space a clean, sleek feel. From start to finish, the experience was excellent. Communication was clear, the project stayed on schedule, and the attention to detail really stood out. The tile work is precise, everything lines up beautifully, and the finish looks very professional. They were also respectful of our home and kept the workspace clean throughout the process, which we really appreciated. If you're looking for someone who takes pride in their work and delivers high-quality results, we would absolutely recommend Oleg from tilers4you LLC!

These gentlemen are incredibly talented, professional, and competent at each aspect of remodeling, including areas with plumbing and lighting. They transformed our steam shower from ugly to beautiful and their workmanship was superior. I had a question about our plumbing after they had finished, and they came back to troubleshoot quickly. I highly recommend them if you are looking for tile installers that are reliable and highly skilled.

Had cracks in my bathrooms tiles. He presented me with different options and I have decided to go with waterproof laminate wood. He explained the different options of wood and he helped me pick the right materials. He was able to fix my toilet leak seal as well. Honest person and those are hard to find. 5 stars.
