Why Vancouver Homeowners Choose Our Backsplash Installers

Durable, easy to clean, and available in every finish. Porcelain is denser and highly stain resistant — ideal for busy kitchens.

Glass, mosaics & specialty
Glass reflects light and visually expands compact kitchens. Mosaics look premium when sheets are aligned properly.
- Ripple-free setting (correct thinset + trowel control)
- Sheet alignment for a “one surface” look
- Perfect for feature zones and accents
Marble & natural stone
Timeless and upscale. We recommend sealers and pH-neutral cleaning to reduce etching and stains.

- Premium patterns (herringbone / basketweave)
- Designer grout matching options
Porcelain slab backsplashes
Minimal grout, maximum impact. Full-height slab carries veining across the wall for a monolithic look and easy cleanup.

Backsplash Installation — FAQs
How long does a backsplash installation take?
Most standard installs finish in one day. Complex patterns, slab installs, or stone sealing may take 1–2 additional visits for setting, grout, and cure times.Can you help me choose tile and grout?
Yes. We recommend formats, patterns, trims and grout colours that match your cabinets, counters and lighting — then confirm layout so outlet cuts and end returns look intentional.Do you remove the old backsplash?
We can demo existing tile or panels, patch as needed, and prep the surface so the new backsplash bonds properly and finishes clean at countertops and corners.Is sealing required?
Ceramic and porcelain usually don’t need sealing. Natural stone does. We also seal certain cement grouts (where appropriate) for stain resistance in cooking zones.Do you service my area?
