Before the project

Prepare for backsplash installation.

A little planning helps the work start smoothly, keeps the site safer, and protects the finished result.

Preparation checklist

Five steps before we arrive.

Your final scheduling notes and proposal take priority; this guide helps you know what to expect.

01

Approve the full design

Confirm tile, representative color range, pattern, grout, edge profiles and feature placement. Review glass with cabinetry and actual lighting; confirm metal grain direction and mixed-material restrictions.

02

Clear counters and assign responsibilities

Remove small appliances, utensils, wall decorations and fragile items. Confirm protection of counters and cabinets, old-surface removal, debris handling and any appliance movement.

03

Coordinate electrical and appliance work

Arrange outlet or device changes through the appropriate licensed trade. Confirm range clearances, appliance access and the sequence before tile work begins.

04

Arrange safe access and staging

Confirm parking, keys or codes, building rules, work hours, a day-of contact and routes for materials and cutting. Keep people and pets outside active work areas.

05

Plan kitchen downtime

Counters and cooking areas may be unavailable while tile and joints cure. Follow the job-specific return-to-use instructions and reserve matching extra material for future changes.
