Why is the backsplash a separate service from tile and flooring?

Because I treat it as my craft. Backsplashes live at eye level in the most photographed room in the house, and small mistakes show forever. Giving them their own service means they get the prep time, layout time, and finishing detail they deserve.

Do you supply the tile or do I buy it?

Either works. Most homeowners pick the tile they want at Tileland, Bedrosians, Home Depot, or a specialty shop, then I install it. If you want help choosing tile that will install cleanly given your wall layout, send photos through the quote form and I can suggest options before you order.

How long does a typical kitchen backsplash take?

Most kitchen backsplashes take a couple of working days: one to lay the tile, one for grout and detail caulking once the thinset has set. More complex patterns like herringbone, large-format stone, or full-height accent walls take longer. Every quote includes a working timeline before booking.

Will you handle outlet covers and electrical work?

I remove the outlet covers, set the boxes flush, install spacer rings if the tile changes the depth, and reinstall the covers. Anything beyond that (relocating outlets, adding new circuits) goes to a licensed electrician.

The short answer

What is included

My specialty. Subway, mosaic, large-format, herringbone, stone. Crisp grout and tight cuts. I am Brody, I do the work myself, and I cover Langley, Surrey, White Rock, Aldergrove, Abbotsford, and Cloverdale. Cost starts at the $150 minimum per job, and you get the price in a written estimate before I start.

Backsplashes are where I do my best work. The cuts around outlets stay crisp. The grout lines stay consistent. The miters at inside corners actually meet. Subway, mosaic, picket, herringbone, hexagon, large-format, marble, stone, and pencil-tile accents are all in regular rotation. I install kitchen and bathroom backsplashes across Langley, Surrey, White Rock, Aldergrove, Abbotsford, and Cloverdale, with the finish quality you only get when the same set of hands preps the wall, lays out the pattern, and finishes the grout.
