"Matt performed the installation of a tile backsplash for us over 2 days. He was very knowledgeable and detail oriented in his installation. He asked questions on the intended design, suggested additional details to improve the planned design, and put great thought into his work. He kept the work area clean throughout the installation. I would absolutely hire him again for tile work."

"First Brandon was here for the estimate. He is very professional, friendly, and helpful. Then, Bradee and Harry came to do the repair. They were so outstanding, they did more than I expected, everything was so neat and they are just awesome! Hard working, friendly, excellent craftsmen. This is who you should call with your roofing needs."

"We went with KSI because of their excellent reviews, and we were not disappointed. Given a lot of the mixed reviews on here for other area fabricators, we didn't really want to take a gamble on any company that we'd potentially have problems with later, so we're very glad we chose KSI. From start to finish everything was amazing.
KSI's estimate was more detailed than one from another company, the price was a little better, and they seemed to be more able to find the kind of stone we were looking for... all without us having officially "chosen" them yet. We worked with a saleswoman named Kelly and she was wonderful... very quick to respond to emails too. After we decided to go with them, the gentleman who came to measure for the templating was professional, knowledgeable, and answered all our questions. I ended up finding my own slabs at Triton Stone, and the process of getting quotes from KSI on different stones I picked out there was so quick -- it was either the same day or the next.
They were so flexible with us on a number of things, including installation date, avoiding a less desirable spot on one of the slabs, us delaying the measuring until we got some carpentry done, and so on.
The installers were very professional and communicated about everything that needed my input. The undermount sinks and cutouts look great; the cooktop cutout is snug and fits perfectly. No real mess to speak of after they left. There is one part that I wish was more snug with the wall, but they make it clear they can't always conform to walls... and there's not a straight wall in our old house. So it'll be taken care of with a backsplash.
We declined the sealer and warranty, so the price does not include that. We sealed it ourselves with a different product.
We are also so glad that they only charge for the amount of stone used, not the entire slab... which was great because the marble we chose was in smaller slabs, necessitating two for us instead of just one bigger one. So, know that they have remnants available from all their projects.
Overall, we're extremely pleased, and it went so smoothly it's almost a little unreal. We'd use KSI again and absolutely recommend them to others.

"This job went great. Justin and Mike started early and finished the job in one day. This small bathroom remodel involved removing the water heater, toilet, sink and removing and replacing three layers of wet sub floor. New high quality LVP floor was installed over new sub flooe, tub was brought back to level and all fixtures were re-installed. Great job, done correctly in a timely manner. Definitely will hire again."

Backsplash Installation FAQs, answered by experts

It’s important to leave a gap in the corner when tiling to allow room for tile expansion. Leaving between one eighth of an inch to one tenth of an inch is enough space. 

Lack of durability is the most significant downside of painting tile. However, a painted tile backsplash doesn't see the same kind of action as, say, painted flooring tiles. For backsplashes, the durability of the finish is crucial because they often require cleaning. However, you can minimize the durability problem by using mild cleaners and water on the painted surfaces.

While you shouldn’t use thinset mortar on its own as a floor leveler, it can work alongside other products to help level floors. For instance, you could start with a self-leveling compound, let that dry, then apply backer board with thinset mortar to help fully even out the floors ahead of laying tile.

The tile spacing you should use will depend on the tile and where you’re installing it. Choosing the right tile spacers to maintain a consistent gap between your tiles is tricky. Generally, tile spacing shouldn’t be less than 2 millimeters on walls and 3 millimeters on floors because of stress relief requirements. Getting it wrong can result in uneven tiles and early repairs.

The process takes two to four days, depending on the size of the area and your experience level. The first day involves assessing and prepping the existing tile, while the second day is for laying the new tile. This may take longer in complex areas. After letting the adhesive dry for 24 hours, grouting and sealing can be completed on day three. For larger projects or intricate tile patterns, expect the timeline to stretch a bit longer. Also, proper drying time between steps is essential for long-lasting results, which extends the project’s time.
