Kitchen backsplash tile that follows the cabinets, outlets, and cooktop you already live with
Ken still prices backsplashes in person. Outlets, windows, and a cooktop change the cut list. You can pick tile at the showroom, then he sets it with a small crew that has been doing this work for decades.
What the quote covers
- Measure against the actual cabinets and outlets
- Layout so grout lines do not fight the range or window
- Setting, grout, and caulk at the counter
- Protection for counters and floors during the work
How Ken runs the job
1. Measure in the kitchen
Ken sees the run of cabinets, the hood, and any problem corners. Free visit.
2. Written estimate
Square footage plus cuts, trim, and grout. Many backsplashes sit above his $2,000 minimum; he will say so if yours does not.
3. Tile choice
Bring a cabinet door or a counter sample to the showroom if you can. Lighting in a store is not the same as your kitchen, but it beats ordering blind.
4. Install
The crew sets, grouts, and wipes the kitchen down. You should be able to cook the same evening unless grout needs extra time, which Ken will tell you up front.
Why this crew for kitchen tile backsplash
- A four-person shop, not a revolving subcontractor list
- Ken handles the estimate so the person who priced the cuts is accountable for them
- Showroom access for porcelain, ceramic, and trim
We take this work in Johnson City, Kingsport, Greeneville.
Questions Ken hears on this job
Can you tile around a window or a range hood?
Yes. That is why Ken measures in the room. Photos hide the returns.
Do you supply the tile?
You can buy through the Jonesborough showroom or furnish your own. Ken will still tell you if a tile is a poor choice over a cooktop.
