"Not very well. The sales rep was good. The workmanship not good. The door fronts were not painted well. Most of them had to be taken off and repainted. Still after that, they were not 100% and bother me when I look at them. The lazy susan door was incorrectly put on and another person had to redo it. The person who did the tiling for the backsplash admitted that he had not done that pattern before and watched a U Tube video to see how to do it. The spacing was not even. The grout was not properly cleaned. For weeks, I was cleaning grout off the tiles, and the caulking was places where it shouldn't have been. The grout mixture, when mixed in the kitchen, splashed on to the bottom of our refrigerator. It left a mess, which the person applying the grout denied doing. It was extremely difficult to remove from the stainless steel. A different person had to come back and clean it. Where the grout and tile met the corner of a wall, it looked awful and a second person came out to try and fix it. After making it look minimally better, we were told that the painter we had coming to paint the kitchen afterwards, would have to essentially make it look better. The painter was only able to do so much and commented on what a bad job the tiler had done. I have tried several times to fix it with paint. It still looks bad. I could detail other quality issues, but I believe you can understand what we went through with this company. I have pictures, which I sent them, of the poor painting job on the cabinets and the tile mess. For the cost and quality, I definitely would not recommend them."

You can install new tile over an existing backsplash, but pros recommend taking the old material down first. Layering tile creates a gap where moisture can collect and makes it harder for the new adhesive to bond. Removing the original backsplash gives you a flat, clean surface, prevents interference with outlets or countertop space, and helps the finished project last longer.
To prepare a painted wall for tile, fill any cracks or holes in the existing paint. Use sandpaper to create an even, slightly rough surface for ideal adhesion. Next, gently wipe the wall with a damp cloth to remove dust, grease, or debris. Finally, apply a bonding primer before attaching the tile.
Gluing a backsplash is an effective installation method when you use the correct adhesive. Use cement-based or thin-set mortar along with mastic as needed to secure ceramic tiles. This method provides a strong, durable bond and is ideal for glass and stone installations when surfaces are properly cleaned and prepared. Adhering tiles with the proper adhesive ensures a robust and long-lasting finish.
Measuring your backsplash area is essential to determine the exact amount of tile needed. Begin by measuring the height and width of the backsplash in feet, then multiply these dimensions to calculate the total square footage. Do not adjust for small outlets or minor cutouts; only subtract the space occupied by large windows or significant obstructions. Finally, add 10% extra to account for waste, ensuring you order the precise quantity required.
