Why a Custom Backsplash Matters
Protects Walls
Tile shields drywall from grease, water and food splatter — preventing stains and moisture damage behind cooktops and sinks.
Design Focal Point
The backsplash is the most visible feature in any kitchen — the perfect canvas for personality, texture and timeless style.
Easy to Clean
Tile and grout wipe clean in seconds, resisting bacteria and mildew far better than painted drywall.

Backsplash Installation FAQs
How much does a kitchen backsplash installation cost in Vancouver?
A typical Vancouver kitchen backsplash runs $800–$2,500 installed. Costs depend on tile type (ceramic subway is most affordable; natural stone, glass and handmade tile run higher), layout complexity (straight set vs. herringbone or chevron), and wall area. Every estimate includes prep, waterproof backer-board behind the cooktop and proper edge finishing.
How long does it take to install a backsplash?
Most kitchen backsplashes take 1–2 days: day 1 for surface prep and tile setting, day 2 for grouting and silicone sealing. Bathroom vanity backsplashes are typically completed in a single day. We protect counters, cabinets and appliances throughout the install.
What is the best tile for a kitchen backsplash?
Porcelain and ceramic subway tile (3×6, 4×12, 4×16) remain the most popular for durability, easy cleaning and timeless style. Glass mosaic adds depth and reflects light beautifully. Natural stone (marble, travertine) gives a premium look but needs sealing. Large-format porcelain slabs create a continuous, grout-minimal modern look.
Do you install backsplashes behind gas cooktops and ranges?
Yes. We install cement-board or waterproof backer-board behind cooktops and use heat-rated tile and grout to meet code. We coordinate with electricians and gas fitters if outlets, hoods or range slides need to be removed and reinstalled during the project.
Can you install a backsplash in a condo or strata building?
Absolutely. We work in strata buildings across Vancouver and follow all required strata bylaws — including approved work hours, building-protection requirements and proof of WorkSafeBC and liability insurance. We can supply documentation directly to your property manager.
