Get matched with top backsplash installation pros in Burien, WA

"My experience with Kyle at Back Country Counters goes WAY BEYOND any 5-Star rating. My bona fides: I gutted and completely remodeled my 1948 home in 2005-2006. I did most everything: framing, drywall, electrical, tiling, plumbing etc. I did hire a few very good tradesmen in some of these areas to lead the way and then I finished. Enough said. Since my Covid cut-back mandated retirement my wife & I took on numerous projects to upgrade and maintain our home so that we can live out our years here. At 67 years old, it became apparent to me that I can no longer do things that I used to do. Finding competent, knowledgeable trustworthy tradesmen has been a frustrating near fruitless expedition into incompetence. I HATE going to Home Depot, Loweâ s, etc; and having forgotten more than anyone working there will EVER know about home repairs and construction! Apparently this same lack of skill sets holds true in our over worked, over priced construction/remodel industry. Nearly everyone I talked to charges confiscatory immoral prices, spends months fitting and piece-mealing you into a job that should take only 1/10th the actual contracted labor time! For this job, all I needed was someone (ANYONE) to cut a larger hole in my quartz counter top so I could install a larger top mounted sink! EVERYONE I called wanted to send their â expertâ and talk to me about buying and installing new counter top(s)!!! For the very first time in a year and a half, this did not happen with Back Country Counters. I found them through Home Advisor/Angieâ s List and Back Country Counters responded immediately. When I talked to the receptionist she assured me Kyle could do the job. I was skeptical (you can see why). Not only did Kyle show up on time. He actually measured the REAL dimensions of the sink for the numbers needed & didnâ t rely on the generic template (TRUE craftsmanship). He removed all the existing plumbing, cut the new hole, removed the old under-mounted-sink, placed the new sink in place to be plumbed and then completely cleaned up the mess! He then came back and re-leveled our split counter top that was not correctly installed back in 2005 and repaired numerous scratches and nicks. He finished off by completely cleaning and polishing our counter tops to as-new condition and then rather humbly educated my wife and I on the proper care & maintenance for the counter and also the new stainless sink! The last thing he did that second day was bail me out of a MAJOR catastrophe that one of the â contractorsâ completely screwed up. The tile guy over tiled the bathroom wall so that the toilet in my $22K remodeled bathroom couldnâ t be installed - there was NO room! I measured out the distance needed, drew the vertical line and Kyle cut the tile & removed them so I could repair the drywall. This was a critical cut. Itâ s extremely difficult to cut existing tile in place using a dry cutter and NOT chip the remaining tile. It takes a lot of patience and concentration. He did this in a dark bathroom while I held a Shop-Light in one hand and a Shop-Vac in the other. Itâ s like heâ s got the hands of a surgeon and the eyes of an eagle. If it werenâ t for Kyle I still would NOT have (at this writing) a working toilet after 3.5 months. The contractors have been near worthless. If I hadnâ t have done this, it simply would still not be done! Oh, yeah..., and did I mention that he did ALL OF THIS WORK over two days with a total labor time of under 5 hours - driving two hours each way! Itâ s a sad state of affairs when the /contractor industry is SO dysfunctional that finding a fair, honest, hard working contractor with communication and CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS makes you want to drop to your knees in prayers of gratitude! Thank you Kyle & Back Country Counters for being such a rare and exceptional find!!!  Bill - Stanwood, WA"

"ID Granite offered us superior service. He came quickly to the house, answered questions and offered advice. Encouraged us to choose what we wanted. He accompanied us to purchase the slab. We found a leathered granite we had not considered. It is beautiful. (not that super shiny look). He then went with us to select the tile, going to more than one store. He and his son did a great job installing-it was quick and beautiful. When I pointed out a place where i wanted more calk, he returned to the house and fixed it. We had new counters and tile backsplash in less than a week! i would highly recommend ID Granite."

"Yuriy (and Nikolai) did a masterful job of installing large-format porcelain tile in my dual-bathroom remodel. He worked closely with my carpenter to determine intricate framing for aspects like a subtly sloped shower floor (to facilitate a zero-threshold shower with linear trench drain), built-in t.p. holder, wall-mounted toilet and more. Yuriy made three different tiles (floor, walls and accent wall) sing. He nailed the grout-lines and gave experienced input so that I didn't make short-sighted, rookie decisions/mistakes. He and Nikolai were a pleasure to see every day (for two weeks!) and were reliable, prompt, long-working and didn't go missing or flake-out like most contractors can do. He recommended a great electrician and let me know that Octagon Construction performs full remodels."

"They renovated our bathroom and did an amazing job. The space feels fresh, modern, and so comfortable to use. Every tile and fixture was installed perfectly ? truly high-quality work."

"Needed a very quick carpet clean after the previous tenant used powder deodorizer. They came over quickly and snuck me in at the end of the same day which I appreciate!"

"I am grateful for Near Me Roofing Company! After a recent wind storm I noticed something out of place on my roof and began to get anxious. I called them and they stopped by the next day! They put a tile back that had blown off and inspected the rest of the roof -- I have no hesitancy in recommending them and will be sure to call again when the need arises."

"Ben from Puget Sound B&R handled our bathroom remodel and the results were amazing. The quality of the tile work and fixtures exceeded our expectations. He communicated clearly throughout the entire process and made sure everything was done perfectly. Very happy with the final outcome."

"Adding a basement bathroom seemed like a complicated project because our Seattle house is older and the plumbing situation wasn?t simple, but Gold Remodeling made the whole thing manageable. They walked us through the process, gave us practical suggestions, and stuck to the timeline pretty closely. The tile installation looks great, the shower is solid, and everything feels well built. Communication was consistent and the crew was respectful of our home. Would definitely use them again!"

"Vanderlip Construction brought our ideas and vision to a reality on a master and guest bathroom remodel in our 1961 rambler. Eric is both an organized contractor and an experienced craftsman. He is a thoughtful and very responsive communicator who we could always count on to perform the tasks he scheduled throughout our project. He brought in very skilled team of subcontractors who he made sure didn’t disrupt our home life and office work activities. Eric was generous with sharing his expertise and insights that helped us make decisions on key details. We had about an 80 percent design and selected all the tile, fixtures, and custom cabinets but Eric’s attention to detail brought it all together, especially on our counters and master bath shower. Always patient and friendly, he wanted to make sure we were satisfied with the progression and the outcomes. He’s also committed to backing up his work. I suffered a serious leg injury after the remodel and Eric kindly went the extra step to come to our house and install a new light fixture in our bedroom. He scored an A+ on both bathrooms and we made a new friend."

"He and his crew did an excellent job repairing our deck, back gate, and dog door installation through a brick wall. Will use again for all out needs!"
