How do you protect outlets and switches during backsplash installation?

We cut tiles precisely around electrical boxes and install outlet box extenders to bring switches and plugs flush with the new tile surface, keeping all wiring safe and code-compliant.

Do you do backsplash installation as a standalone project?

Yes. Backsplash installation is available as a standalone project. We assess the countertop edge and wall condition during a site visit and provide a written estimate with the confirmed timeline.

Do you supply the tile or do I purchase it separately?

Both options work. We can source tile through our suppliers at trade pricing, or you can purchase your own tile and we'll install it. If you supply the tile, we'll specify the quantity you need based on the measured wall area plus a standard overage.

What is the best grout for a kitchen backsplash?

For most kitchen backsplashes in Raleigh and Cary, we use unsanded grout for joints under 1/8" (standard for subway tile) and sanded grout for wider joints. We apply a penetrating grout sealer after installation, which protects against grease and moisture and keeps grout lines looking clean for years.
