The Backsplash Installation Workflow Step by Step

1. Planning Your Tile Layout — We assesses your space to evaluate the wall space and go over tile options that fit your style. Our team assists you in select tile that fits your style, budget, and wall layout.
2. Prepping the Installation Surface — Prior to installing a single tile, your current wall is stripped of grease and dust and prepped with a bonding agent to ensure strong adhesion. Surface imperfections are repaired as part of this step.
3. Tile Layout and Dry Fitting — Tiles are laid out in a test layout to confirm the design without committing any adhesive. Planning ahead eliminates uneven patterns near edges.
4. Spreading Adhesive and Placing Tiles — The appropriate mortar mix is spread across the wall using a notched trowel. Each tile is then pressed firmly into place and aligned with spacers to ensure consistent spacing.
5. Precision Cuts Around Obstacles — At points where the tile runs into outlet covers, switch plates, corners, or cabinet edges, careful trimming are made using a professional-grade tile cutter. This ensures a clean, professional edge.
6. Filling the Gaps with Grout — After the tiles have set, grout is mixed and pressed into the joints using a rubber float. Excess grout is wiped away with a wet cloth before it hardens.
7. Finishing and Quality Check — Based on the material selected, a penetrating sealer is applied to protect the grout lines. Every section is then checked for evenness and finish before we consider the job complete.
