Kitchen Backsplash Installation in Mt Prospect, IL

We've been remodeling kitchens in Mt Prospect, IL for over 20 years as a family-owned contractor. That means you're working with people who know the difference between a rushed tile job and one that holds up for decades. We don't subcontract this work out to whoever's available. Our own crew handles the layout, the cuts, the grouting, and the cleanup.

As a full remodeling contractor, we also look at the bigger picture. If your backsplash project uncovers old drywall damage or outdated wiring near the range hood, we flag it before it becomes your problem later. A lot of tile-only shops don't do that.

Illinois winters put real stress on homes. Freeze-thaw cycles can work moisture into wall surfaces behind ranges and sinks if the original backsplash installation was done poorly or with the wrong materials. We use moisture-resistant backer board and proper waterproofing where the backsplash meets the countertop so your wall stays protected through every Chicago-area winter. This is especially worth thinking about in older Mt Prospect, IL homes where the wall behind the range may not have been properly sealed the first time around.

Choosing the Right Kitchen Backsplashes for Your Home

Kitchen backsplashes do two jobs. They protect the wall behind your range and sink from grease, steam, and splatter. And they're one of the first things people notice when they walk into your kitchen. We work with ceramic tile, porcelain, natural stone, glass tile, and specialty materials including handmade and patterned options. Whatever style your kitchen runs, we'll find something that fits without blowing the budget.

We talk through grout color, tile size, and layout patterns with every customer before a single tile goes up. A subway tile laid in a stacked pattern reads very differently than the same tile in a herringbone. Those details matter, and we won't skip that conversation just to get on to the next job.

Material Options: Tile, Stone, and Beyond

Porcelain and ceramic are the most popular choices we see in Mt Prospect, IL kitchens because they're easy to clean and hold up well over time. Natural stone like marble or travertine adds a lot of character but needs periodic sealing to stay looking sharp. Glass tile reflects light beautifully and works well in smaller kitchens.

We carry and install all of these, and we're straightforward with you about maintenance expectations for each one so there are no surprises down the road.
