Grease-prone spot behind the range
Fewer grout joints behind the cooktop mean less to scrub. Large porcelain or a stone slab work well there.

Backsplash problems we solve in Bolingbrook
A backsplash is a small wall with a lot of cuts. In Bolingbrook we prep the wall, plan the layout so the tile ends evenly at the cabinets and windows, set it level, grout it and finish every edge and outlet so nothing looks patched.
Grout stained or cracking
Cracked grout near the counter usually means the joint wasn't caulked. We use flexible caulk where tile meets the counter and grout everywhere else.
Tile that ends in the wrong place
A backsplash that ends in a tiny strip by the window looks off. We lay it out first and center the pattern where your eye lands.
Old 4-inch splash with nothing above
The narrow splash that came with the counters can stay as a base for tile or come off for a full-height look.
Outlets sunk behind the tile
Sunken switches and cover plates that don't sit flat look sloppy. Box extenders bring them out to the face of the tile.
Awkward edges and ends
Raw tile edges at the ends look unfinished. Trim pieces or a slim metal profile give the backsplash a clean stop.
Dated or cracked tile
Old tile in a color you don't like, with cracked pieces and stained grout, is removed and the wall repaired before new tile goes up.
Uneven wall surface
Large tiles need a flat wall. We fill low spots and grind high ones so the face of the backsplash reads as one plane.
What we do on the job
- Layout and tile selectionWe pick the pattern and the starting point with you before ordering material.
- Wall repair and prepThe wall is repaired, leveled out and primed so the tile bonds.
- Outlet box extendersExtender rings so outlets and switches sit flush with the tile face.
- Setting the tileWe set the field tile, the cuts and the details around the window and hood.
- GroutingSanded, unsanded or epoxy grout chosen for the tile and joint width.
- Edges and trimBullnose, pencil liner or a metal profile where the tile ends.
- Sealing and cleanupStone and grout sealed if they call for it, then a full cleanup.
Finishes we offer
Handmade-look and zelligeUneven edges and glaze give a hand-crafted look; the layout needs a little more patience.
Ceramic and porcelain tileThe everyday choice: durable, easy to clean and available in every size, from subway to large panels.
Natural stoneMarble, travertine and slate tiles bring natural variation; they need sealing.
Slab backsplashOne continuous piece behind the range or along the whole wall.
Mosaic and glassSmall tiles on mesh sheets for accents or full walls; glass needs careful setting and unsanded or epoxy grout.

Kitchen Backsplash Installation questions from Bolingbrook homeowners
Can you install a backsplash in the bathroom too?
Yes — vanity backsplashes and bathroom accent walls are set the same way and can be done in the same visit.
Do I need to remove the 4-inch splash?
Not always. Tile can start above it, but removing it gives a cleaner, more current look with tile down to the counter.
Do you move outlets or add under-cabinet lighting?
We extend outlet boxes for the new tile. Relocating outlets or adding new circuits for lighting is wiring work we schedule before the tile goes up.
Can you tile over my existing backsplash?
Sometimes, if the old tile is solid and flat and the added thickness works with the outlets and the trim. Often removing it gives a better result.
What is the easiest backsplash to keep clean?
Glazed porcelain, a slab or anything with fewer grout lines; textured stone and handmade tile take more care.
Do I need a Bolingbrook-registered contractor for backsplash installation?
The Village has a Contractor Registration form on its permit portal. We take care of that before work starts.
