A new backsplash makes your kitchen look great. It keeps your walls safe and adds real style.
Cracked grout, stained tile, and peeling paint are warning signs. In Las Vegas, hard water breaks down grout over time. We've seen old tile give out in Summerlin and Henderson homes. Bare drywall behind a stove is a big problem. It soaks up grease and moisture and can grow mold.[1] The longer you wait, the worse it gets.
Many Las Vegas homes still have plain white builder tile from the 90s and 2000s. It works, but it's not fun to look at every day.
Dry air and hard water break down grout fast in Las Vegas. Cracked grout lets grease and moisture get behind your tile.
Grease and hard water can stain tile that was never sealed. Sometimes the only real fix is to replace it.
Some kitchens just have painted drywall behind the stove or sink. That's the first thing to fix before any bigger update.
New countertops and cabinets need a backsplash to match. We help homeowners pick tile that ties the whole room together.
Some homeowners want something special. Herringbone, subway, natural stone, or a full custom mosaic. We can do it.
Bad prep work is the most common mistake we see. Tile on uneven walls cracks and falls off. We always fix the wall first. Our team learns from the owner and we don't cut corners. You'll get a backsplash that looks great and stays put.

A few things affect the price of a backsplash. The size of the area, the tile you pick, and how much prep the wall needs all matter. Natural stone and mosaic tile cost more than subway tile. Older Las Vegas homes sometimes need extra wall prep. We give you a full quote up front so you know what you'll pay. No surprise charges at the end.
Here are the top questions we hear from Las Vegas homeowners.
Most jobs in Las Vegas cost between $400 and $2,500 or more. The tile you pick makes the biggest difference. Basic subway tile costs less. Natural stone or mosaic tile costs more. Older homes may need extra wall prep, which can raise the price.
Most kitchen backsplashes take one to two days. That includes prep, setting tile, and grouting. We let the tile cure overnight before we add grout. So plan for about two days without your kitchen.
You can try, but most DIY jobs we've seen need a pro to fix later. Wall prep is where most people go wrong. Uneven walls make tiles crack or pop off. If you want it done right the first time, call a pro.
Ceramic and porcelain tile are the top picks. They're tough, easy to clean, and come in lots of styles. Natural stone looks great but needs sealing. Glass tile looks modern but needs careful work so it doesn't crack.
Yes. Bare drywall behind a stove is a real problem. Heat, grease, and steam damage walls fast. Tile protects the wall and makes cleanup easy. We see this skipped a lot in Las Vegas kitchens.
Cracked grout, loose tiles, and bad stains are the main signs. If tiles sound hollow when you tap them, the glue has failed. In Las Vegas, hard water can stain grout so bad that cleaning won't fix it. At that point, it's time to replace it.
Yes, and it really matters in Las Vegas. Hard water and grease get into unsealed grout fast. Sealing keeps grout safe from stains and helps it last. We seal all grout as part of our install. One customer called us about a backsplash that was staining after just three months. It had never been sealed.
