Get matched with top backsplash installation pros in Lacey, 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"

"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."

"I just read the review in the “Remodeling - General” category dated 08/22/2017. I must say that my experience with Eric precisely mirrored those that were most eloquently expressed in that review. I am beyond pleased with the results of the bathroom remodel in which an ancient bathtub with its tired acrylic walls was removed and replaced with a beautifully tiled walk-in shower. As Eric consistently exceeded expectations in all aspects of this two-week project, I highly recommend him for your remodeling projects. As a result of the initial design consultation, Eric provided me with a detailed and what proved to be a remarkably accurate estimate of the costs. In fact, plumbing was the only item to exceed estimate due to a few hidden surprises that only revealed themselves when the walls were laid bare. Eric had advised us that this might be the case, so it was not unanticipated. The demolition phase involved removing the old bathtub, acrylic panels and underlying sheet rock. Also several layers of old flooring were removed. The resultant detritus was all quickly bagged and removed from the site. The hall and stairs leading to the bathroom were left clean upon completion of work each day. Eric amalgamates his intelligence, knowledge, experience, skill, and intense pride of work to produce an end result which defines the word "quality". I was continually impressed with how he could identify problem issues in advance, which allowed him to design and smoothly integrate solutions into the project. As the project evolved toward completion, his suggested a number of design improvements that significantly enhanced the final appearance. The finished tile work was simply superb. Eric engaged top-notch sub-contractors for the plumbing, glass and Wedi shower system (done by a certified installer). I noted that Eric was always careful to co-ordinate with the sub-contractors to ensure the intersections of their tasks and his went smoothly. We could not be at home at all times, but were very comfortable leaving him to work on his own. He was even careful to make certain that our intrepid indoor cat did not sneak out. If you want first class work done with attention to detail and executed with consummate skill by a really nice guy, look no further."

"Very happy with the work done repairing my bathroom and installing recessed lighting. Would use this company again for future projects remodeling my house."

"They remodeled our shower. Tear out, new plumbing, new tile on walls and floor, new glass doors. Looks great! Highly recommend!"

"Their demolition work was sloppy.  Their installation was above average.  I think they did the best job they could.  I would recommend them to other people.  He's a good guy, honest and he worked with me. The labor was pretty standard.  I don't have any complaints with the pricing.  It was a big job.  They have some good people."

"Brock is very dependable, quick and does a great job! He did some baseboards for us, tore out some cabinets, layed flooring, replaced a toilet and vanity in the bathroom!! Everything turned out great!"

"Erick and his team provided top notch service. Their quote process was fast, efficient and timely. He advised us on various topics super well. They executed the project on time, they followed up on any additional work on time and even helped us look into some issues that were not paint related. The output was great quality and we are happy!"

"The work the crew did on my retaining wall and installation of a stone seating area was fabulous. I would hire Sta-Built again without a doubt."

"The crew from Sunrise Landscaping & Tree Removal were total professionals who did an outstanding job. I was worried about the tree being close to my house, but they relieved my fears by their "top-notch" attention to detail. I would absolutely hire them again and recommend them to anyone who asks."
