Residential Services Columbus Ohio
A backsplash does two jobs—it protects your walls from water and grease, and it finishes the look of your kitchen or bathroom. We install backsplashes with tight grout lines, clean cuts around outlets, and edges that meet countertops and cabinets perfectly.
Backsplashes
A backsplash isn’t just decorative—it’s the surface that takes the most abuse in your kitchen. Grease splatter, water from the sink, steam from the stove. It needs to be durable, easy to clean, and installed tight so nothing gets behind it. We work with all the common materials—ceramic, porcelain, glass, natural stone, and mosaics—and we know how each one behaves. Some need sealing. Some crack if you look at them wrong. Some require specific adhesives. We match the installation method to the material so your backsplash holds up.
Layout is where most backsplashes go sideways. Tiles that don’t center on the window. Awkward cuts at the ends of the run. Outlets that land in the middle of a tile instead of on a grout line. We plan the layout before we start setting, so the finished product looks intentional—not like someone just started in a corner and hoped for the best. Whether it’s a simple subway tile behind the stove or a full-wall statement piece with accent strips and decorative borders, we handle the details that make the difference.

Our Tile Installation Process
Backsplash tile is detail work. Every cut shows, every grout line is visible, and the layout has to work around outlets, switches, and windows. Here’s how we get it right.

Layout & Prep
We start by measuring the space and planning the tile layout. The goal is a balanced look—no slivers at the edges, patterns centered where they should be, and cuts landing in the right spots around outlets and switches. Once we've got the layout dialed, we prep the wall surface, protect your countertops and appliances, and turn off power to any outlets in the work area.

Tile Installation
With layout marked, we start setting tile from the bottom up. Spacers keep grout lines consistent. Cuts get made as we go—around outlets, at edges, and wherever the design calls for it. We check level and alignment constantly, making adjustments before thinset sets up. By the end of this step, your backsplash is on the wall and looking the way it should.

Grout & Finish
Once the tile has set, we grout. We pack the joints fully, clean excess off the tile faces, and tool the lines for a consistent look. After grout cures, we caulk where the backsplash meets the countertop and any inside corners. Outlet covers go back on, we clean everything up, and you've got a finished backsplash ready to use.
