Backsplash problems we solve in Orland Park
A backsplash is a small wall with a lot of cuts. In Orland Park 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.
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.
Tile that ends in the wrong place
Good layout puts full tiles at the focal points and balanced cuts at the ends. We dry-plan it before setting anything.
Outlets sunk behind the tile
When tile adds thickness, the outlet box needs an extender ring. Our outlets end up flush, not buried.
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.
Uneven wall surface
Wavy walls make tile edges catch the light unevenly. We skim or patch the wall flat before setting, especially for large-format tile.
Awkward edges and ends
Where the tile stops at an open wall or the end of an upper cabinet, we finish it with a metal edge profile, a bullnose or a pencil liner.
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.
What's included
- Protection and removalWe protect the counters, cut power to the outlets and take down the old backsplash.
- Wall repair and prepDrywall or plaster patched and flattened, cement board where the wall needs it.
- Outlet box extendersReceptacles brought forward to the new surface, with cover plates that fit.
- GroutingJoints filled, tooled and cleaned so the tile face is free of haze.
- Edges and trimBullnose, pencil liner or a metal profile where the tile ends.
- Caulk at the counterFlexible caulk where tile meets the counter and the cabinets.
- Sealing and cleanupNatural stone and cement-based grout sealed when needed; the kitchen cleaned.
Finishes we offer
Grout typesUnsanded for narrow joints, sanded for wider ones, epoxy where stain resistance matters most.
Handmade-look and zelligeUneven edges and glaze give a hand-crafted look; the layout needs a little more patience.
Slab backsplashA full-height sheet of quartz, stone or porcelain matching the counters, with no grout lines.
Ceramic and porcelain tileGlazed ceramic and porcelain hold up to heat and grease and come in endless colors.
Mosaic and glassMosaics add texture; glass tile reflects light and shows thin-set through if set poorly.

Kitchen Backsplash Installation questions from Orland Park homeowners
Can you tile over my existing backsplash?
Occasionally. If the old tile is loose or uneven, it has to come off first.
Which grout should I use?
Narrow joints get unsanded grout, wider joints sanded, and busy spots behind the sink and range can get epoxy.
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.
Should I install the backsplash before or after the counters?
Counters first, then the backsplash, so the tile lands on the finished surface.
What affects the price of a backsplash?
Wall size, the tile you choose, the pattern, how many outlets and cuts there are and whether old tile comes off. We give a written, itemized estimate after the visit.
Do I need a Orland Park-registered contractor for backsplash installation?
Contractors must be licensed with the Village before permits issue; apply via Civic Access portal. We take care of that before work starts.
Do I need a permit for backsplash installation in Orland Park?
