Our Professional Kitchen Backsplash Remodelers in Bergenfield, Tenafly, Englewood, Paramus, Teaneck, New Milford and New Jersey (NJ) have worked with all types of walls, from plaster walls in older homes, moisture damaged dry wall behind old tile, to surfaces looking flat until you begin tiling and discover the bow. Professional backsplash remodelers understand how to analyze a wall before putting adhesive on it. We back buttery every tile on natural stone and large format tiles to make sure there are no hollow spaces in the tile that can open up later and cause cracking. Not only do we patch around pipes, move outlets to flush position, and trim metal around open edges, we also install a matching bullnose tile for finishing the edges or metal trim.
But one of the cleanest looks available these days is using large format tile (4×12 or 3×12 slabs) in a vertical stacked pattern, particularly in matte white or soft greige colors. With its handmade, slightly irregular surface that reflects light differently throughout the day, Zellige tile is a great choice for modern and transitional kitchens. In the case of range walls, a complete porcelain or quartz slab, lifted up from the counter to form the wall, results in a surface which is seamless, without any grout lines, and is both functional and aesthetically pleasing to clean. Another option is to create a textured field tile on which to set a contrasting flat border to add definition, without overpowering the space.
A backsplash does work, it helps prevent splatter, steam and grease from getting on and into drywall which will absorb moisture and cause a problem over time. This is because there’s no place to hold up the way that a perfectly sealed tile surface does. Beyond protection, a backsplash upgrade is one of the highest-visibility changes you can make in a kitchen without touching cabinets or countertops. Reframes all cooking wall. If you’re looking to change the look of an existing backsplash, painting the new one with a different color than the existing one can significantly alter the ambiance of the space. Kitchen backsplash updates are always one of the best value for homeowners who are looking to sell their home.
