Kitchen backsplash installation in Gainesville
Most backsplash jobs we do in Gainesville follow a cabinet refinishing project: the cabinets go from oak to white, and the old four-inch granite backsplash or dated tile suddenly looks wrong. We remove the old material, repair and level the drywall behind it, and set new tile from the countertop to the bottom of the upper cabinets. Outlets are pulled forward to sit flush with the new tile. Subway tile, herringbone, glass mosaic, and large format are all common requests.
Bathroom tile and shower surrounds
We tile bathroom walls, tub surrounds, and shower walls with the same attention to layout and waterproofing. Wet areas get a proper waterproof backer and membrane before tile. Grout is sealed and all changes of plane are caulked with color-matched silicone rather than grouted, so they do not crack. Natural stone is sealed before and after grouting.
Layout, cuts, and grout
Good tile work is mostly planning. We lay out each wall so cuts are balanced at both ends and land behind appliances or in corners rather than in the middle of the view. Grout lines are spaced consistently with the right spacers for the tile. You choose the grout color from samples against your tile and countertop. Most kitchen backsplashes take two days: one to set, one to grout and seal.

Can you install a backsplash after refinishing my cabinets?
Yes, and it is the usual order. Cabinets first, then backsplash, so the tile sits against the finished surface.

Most kitchen backsplashes take two days: one to set, one to grout and seal.
Do you supply the tile?
You can pick it out yourself or we can source it. Either way we confirm quantities before ordering.

Our tile work is focused on backsplashes and bathroom walls. Ask about floors when you call and we will tell you if it fits the job.
