The backsplash is the part of the wall between counter and cabinet — and the part we tile. The counter itself is somebody else's trade.
A backsplash is a small area doing a lot of visual work, which means small mistakes show. Outlet and switch cutouts have to land cleanly, the pattern has to be laid out from a sensible starting point rather than wherever the first tile happened to go, and the grout line at the counter and at the upper cabinet has to be even and properly caulked rather than grouted rigid against a surface that expands and contracts differently than the wall.
We tile the wall. If the job also involves a new countertop, that is a separate trade with its own fabrication and installation process, and we will say so rather than trying to make it our job. The two often happen around the same time in a kitchen refresh, and coordinating who does what first — counter before backsplash, in almost every case — makes both jobs go cleaner.
Describe the job and we'll match you with an installer who builds the assembly in the right order.
