What to Expect From Your Kitchen Backsplash Installers
We know how important your home is. When you decide to do a renovation, no matter its size, you are making a commitment and your home will inevitably feel at least somewhat disrupted. We know you have a choice when it comes to kitchen backsplash installers, and if you decide to work with us, we will do our part to make the process go as smoothly as possible.
Here are a few things we think will help you in terms of understanding what steps to take and what to expect from our kitchen backsplash installers:
- First, find the tile vendor of your choice – Before we get started on your tile installation project, shop around and find the tile supplier that matches your budget and has the tile styles you want. While we do not sell products ourselves, we are always happy to help with suggestions on where to shop to find exactly what you are looking for! Once you have picked out your tiles, work with the vendor to pick out the edging, trim, and inlays you desire. But don’t order just yet!
- Let us type up an estimate – Before you order the materials, let us type up your estimate so that we can make sure the correct quantity of all materials is ordered. Incorrect quantities will result in a headache for you whether it results in a delay while waiting for more materials to arrive, or overspending because you have gotten more than necessary. When preparing your estimate, we will ask you for some information as listed on our “Get an Estimate” form. We will send the estimate back to you via text or email within 3 business days. Estimate includes the costs of thinset, sealer, grout, matching caulk, tile spacers, job site protection materials, and equipment usage fees.
- Better yet, let us help with the order! – If you are working with a tile store that we have an account with, we are happy to speak with them directly and take care of ordering and material pickup. We will just include the cost of the tile in your bill at the end when our kitchen backsplash installers are finished.
- Determine job length – Finally, we will discuss the amount of time your project should take. Whether it is a large kitchen backsplash installation or a smaller wall tile project, the scope and scale of the project will affect the amount of time the job will require. We will do our best to provide you a reasonable time estimate but as a guideline, our projects tend to take anywhere between 1 -5 days, averaging 2 days.
When we have all the estimates worked out and materials chosen, and it comes time for our kitchen backsplash installers to get to work, this is how the actual job itself tends to look:
- Confirmation – We will go over the layout and estimate, and make sure all the materials are correct.
- Lay out the job – We will set the job up by preparing and protecting the space. This will depend on the job. For example, this could include removing gas stove, hood, etc. for kitchen backsplash installs, or removing toilets or shower doors for bathrooms.
- Set tile
- Seal, grout, and caulk
- Clean – This may be the most important stage. At least our homeowners appreciate it!
- Document job with pictures
- Payment collection – While we do not require a down payment from our customers for their kitchen backsplash installs, we do ask that the invoice is paid in full at job completion. We can accept cash or check. We also accept payments online by credit card, although a 3% credit card fee does apply.
And that’s it! Our kitchen backsplash installers will make sure you are happy with the job, and then leave you to enjoy your new space!
