"Besides an intricate kitchen tile backsplash installation, the job also included some drywall repair, plumbing, electrical, installation and general handyman services. Jeff was professional, personable and neat with an attention to detail. Communication was prompt and clear, and all my questions were addressed. It was a pleasure to have Tatnall Contracting work on my vacation home. I would definitely hire Jeff again."

"Stone Nation deserves ten stars! This family-owned business is the best! Professional! Helpful! Timely! Respectful! I shopped for my new kitchen countertops at seven companies and am so glad I found Stone Nation. Save yourself the time and call them first! This husband and wife team do it all themselves with own their small crew. The showroom is in Milford, DE, but I didn’t have to drive there. Biriviana came to our home and showed us many stone samples in the home environment. She was patient, creative, friendly, and focused on us and our kitchen needs. Then, Fernando came and took exact measurements and made a template. Back at the shop, Fernando fabricated our chosen stone himself. No sending the job out to a distant fabrication company. The installation was scheduled for only a couple weeks later. Other companies had predicted ten to twelve weeks. The best part---the ease and convenience on installation day. Stone Nation took care of everything on one day. The installation crew removed the old (ugly) countertops and sinks and installed the beautiful new quartz. They even arranged for a plumber to re-connect the new sink, faucet, and garbage disposal for a nominal fee. Did I pay more for all this service and convenience? Absolutely not! Stone Nation’s total price was the best in the area. It even included the new kitchen sinks! (I bought the faucet and disposal.) So, choose Stone Nation for all your countertop and stone needs. I can’t wait to work with this great company again on my upcoming bathroom remodel. (I will post some pictures once the backsplash is completed.) Sherrie (Ocean View, DE)"

Backsplash Installation FAQs, answered by experts

No, when done correctly, removing the tile shouldn’t damage the subfloor. However, if there was pre-existing damage to the subfloor from standard use or lack of maintenance, the subfloor may need repairs. For example, if the contractors notice mold growth on the subfloor or an uneven surface, you may need more extensive services before installing new tile.

If you DIY tile removal, remove the tiles one step at a time, individually removing the tile, grout, and mortar to prevent unnecessarily damaging the subfloor. Depending on the age of your home, consider having a professional inspect the subfloor to ensure it’s in good enough condition to lay new tile.

Yes, you can install a backsplash directly onto drywall, provided the wall is properly prepped, clean, and dry. For best results, especially in kitchen areas, your walls should be made of moisture-resistant drywall, often called green board. If your current wall isn't moisture-resistant, it's recommended to replace it before installing the backsplash. For even greater protection against water damage, you can remove the existing drywall and install a tile backer board or cement board instead. While properly installed standard drywall is typically strong enough to support a backsplash, some local building codes may require water-resistant materials in kitchen areas, so it's a good idea to check.

Tile installation can be expensive because it requires more time and labor to install than many other materials. For example, laminate flooring can click and lock into place, and carpet comes in large rolls that you can secure to the floor. On the other hand, tiles need to be cut, laid individually, grouted, and left to cure.

While tile is the best option in the bathtub, don’t forget to consider the flooring around the wash station. Moisture-holding carpet is a no-no, but is tile or vinyl better for dogs? Tile flooring is tough, moisture-resistant, cool, and scratch-proof. However, it’s more tricky to install and costs more than vinyl flooring. If you opt for vinyl, select tough luxury vinyl flooring; otherwise, canine claws could quickly damage the surface of standard, budget vinyl.

The number of boxes of tile you need depends entirely on the amount of tile in each box or case. Different manufacturers package their tiles differently, and boxes contain different amounts of tile depending on the size, shape, and material. Often, the amount of area that a case will cover is listed in the product description. To calculate the number of boxes you need, take the total square feet of the space and divide it by the number of square feet the box will cover.
