OUR SERVICES

The Wall That Makes the Whole Kitchen Look Finished

The standard gap between a kitchen counter and the upper cabinets is 18 inches, which is exactly why so many backsplash layouts end on an awkward sliver of cut tile at one end. The Countertop Guy, LLC designs and installs tile and slab backsplashes for kitchens and bathrooms, from detailed patterned layouts to clean minimalist runs of a single tile, serving homeowners in Raleigh, NC and in nearby Cary, Garner, Rolesville, Knightdale, Wendell, and Zebulon.



Layout comes before adhesive on every job we take. Tile gets dry set on the counter first so the pattern centers on the range or the window, the cuts land where nobody looks, and the outlets fall sensibly within the field. Grout color and type are chosen for the way that particular wall gets used every day, not simply for how the sample looks in a showroom. Written pricing and free estimates are available through our contact page.

Backsplashes We Install

Kitchen Tile Backsplashes

Subway, herringbone, stacked, mosaic, and large-format layouts installed across the counter run and up behind the range. The area behind a cooktop takes the most abuse, so material and grout choice there deserve more thought than anywhere else on the wall.

Bathroom Tile Backsplashes

A short run above a vanity, a full wall behind a freestanding sink, or tile carried up to meet a mirror all change how finished the room reads. Sealing where tile meets stone is what keeps water out of the cabinet.

Patterned and Mosaic Layouts

Chevron, basketweave, penny round, arabesque, and hand-cut mosaic work all demand careful setting and consistent joints to look intentional. These patterns reward planning, because a layout drawn on paper first prevents awkward transitions at every corner and edge.

Full-Height Slab Backsplashes

Running the same granite or quartz from counter to upper cabinet removes grout lines entirely and gives a seamless, quiet result. Slab backsplashes wipe clean in a single pass and pair naturally with a waterfall edge or an integrated ledge.

Grout Selection and Sealing

Cement grout is economical and easy to repair later, while epoxy resists staining and needs no sealing at all. Behind a range, where grease and tomato sauce land constantly, the stain-resistant option usually earns its extra cost quickly.

Outlet and Trim Detailing

Receptacles, switches, and under-cabinet light strips get planned into the tile field rather than fought around afterward. Edge trim, pencil liners, and returns at the wall ends are the finishing details that separate careful work from rushed work.

Why Choose Us for Backsplashes

A Wall That Wipes Clean in Seconds

Painted drywall behind a range absorbs grease and eventually needs repainting, while glazed tile releases exactly the same mess with one pass of a damp cloth. That single change removes a recurring chore from your kitchen cleaning routine.

Black-and-white grid of 12 small rectangles, arranged in four rows of three with alternating filled and outlined rows
Layout That Lands on Full Tiles

Starting a run from a centerline instead of a corner means the cut pieces end up symmetrical and largely hidden at the outer edges. It costs nothing extra to plan and is the detail that instantly reads as professional.

The Detail Guests Notice First

The backsplash sits at eye level directly across from where people stand and talk, so it carries more visual weight than its square footage suggests. A considered choice here lifts cabinets and counters that are otherwise perfectly ordinary.

Black-and-white grid of 15 rounded rectangles, alternating white and black rows
Grease and Splatter That Stop at the Tile

A properly sealed field with the right grout keeps cooking mess on the surface instead of soaking into the wall behind it. Nothing seeps into drywall, and nothing accumulates in a joint that you cannot reach with a sponge.

A Fast Change With a Big Return

Backsplashes are one of the shortest projects that meaningfully change how a room feels, usually measured in days rather than weeks. For households not ready for a full remodel, it delivers a noticeable difference for a modest commitment.

Colors That Sit Right With Your Stone

Tile chosen in isolation frequently clashes with the veining or the undertone of a countertop once both are actually installed in the room. Selecting them together, under your own lighting, avoids a mismatch you would notice every single day.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How high should a kitchen backsplash go?

    The standard run is 18 inches, from the countertop to the underside of the upper cabinets. Behind a range or a hood, carrying tile to the ceiling is common and protects the area that takes the most splatter.

  • What grout works best behind a stove?

    Epoxy grout resists grease, oil, and acidic stains far better than cement-based grout, and it never needs sealing afterward. It costs more and sets faster during installation, but behind a cooktop that trade-off is usually worth making anyway.

  • Should the backsplash match or contrast the countertop?

    Either approach works, provided the undertones agree with each other. A busy granite generally wants a quiet tile, while a plain quartz can carry pattern and texture. Hold samples together in the actual room before committing to a direction.

  • Can tile be installed over an existing backsplash?

    Sometimes, if the existing surface is flat, well-bonded, and the added thickness still clears the outlets and cabinets. Removal is usually cleaner, because it lets us inspect the drywall behind it and start from a properly flat plane.

  • Do I need to seal my backsplash tile?

    Glazed ceramic and porcelain need no sealing, but natural stone, unglazed tile, and cement grout all benefit from it. The Countertop Guy, LLC advises Raleigh, NC homeowners on which surfaces need sealing and how often to repeat it.

  • What tile size makes a small kitchen look bigger?

    Larger tiles with fewer grout lines create a calmer, more continuous surface that visually expands a compact space. Light colors and a glossy finish bounce light further, while busy small mosaics tend to make the walls feel much closer.

  • How do outlets get handled in a tile backsplash?

    Boxes get extended forward so the receptacle sits flush with the finished tile face, and the cuts are made to the plate footprint. Planning a layout around the outlet positions keeps them from landing awkwardly across a pattern.

  • What is a full-height slab backsplash?

    It uses the same granite or quartz as your countertop, run continuously from the counter up to the cabinets. The Countertop Guy, LLC fabricates these from matching slabs for Raleigh, NC kitchens where a grout-free wall is wanted.

One Wall, One Weekend, a Different Kitchen

Very few projects change how a room reads as much per dollar as the strip of wall between your counter and your cabinets. It is the surface people look at while they talk to you, the surface that catches everything the stove throws, and the one place where a considered material choice pays off constantly. The Countertop Guy, LLC lays out and installs backsplashes across Raleigh, NC for kitchens and bathrooms of every size and budget. Send a photo of your counters and cabinets through our contact page, and we will help you find a tile that belongs with them.
