Check local availability
Tell us about your tile project. We review each request by hand and, if an independent local installer is available, we put you in touch. Submitting does not guarantee availability.
We do not do the work. Independent local tile installers do, and you contract directly with the one you choose.
Midvale puts the two hardest versions of this job a few blocks apart. Around historic Main Street and Midvale City Park the kitchens are old enough that the wall runs out of plumb and the cabinets were fit to it, so a level tile course drifts visibly against the upper cabinet line. Deciding early which line the eye actually follows is the whole trick. Over at Bingham Junction the walls are new and true, and the work is mostly layout centered on the range and clean cuts at the window return.
What this covers
- Subway tile, standard and stacked layouts
- Mosaic sheets, including glass and pebble
- Slab and large-format backsplashes
- Natural stone, marble, and travertine
- Full-height tile behind the range or hood
- Outlet, switch, and window-return cuts
What affects the scope
Every tile job is different, and the independent installer who does the work sets their own price. These are the things they will usually need to know before they can estimate:
- The run of wall being covered, and whether it is a partial or a full-height backsplash
- The tile format, since mosaic sheets and large slabs are opposite kinds of labor
- Natural stone, which cuts and seals differently than ceramic or porcelain
- How many outlets, switches, and returns interrupt the field
- Whether an old backsplash has to come off first, and what it takes with it
- Whether the pattern needs to be laid out to center on a range or a window
Worth asking any installer directly: are you licensed and insured for this work, what waterproofing system do you use, what is your estimate and what does it include, when could you start, and what happens if something is not right afterwards?

Questions
Frequently asked
How much does kitchen backsplash tile cost in Midvale?
In the older kitchens the variable is how far out of plumb the wall and cabinets are and how much correction the layout needs; in the newer Bingham Junction homes it is mostly the material and the number of cuts around the range and the window. Taylorsville Tile Co. does not set prices. If an independent local installer is available for your job, that installer gives you their own estimate and you agree it directly with them before any work starts.
The walls in an old Midvale kitchen are not square. How does the tile deal with that?
Tile cannot hide it, so the error gets put where it shows least. If the cabinets are the strongest line in the room, the courses are set parallel to the cabinets and the drift is taken up at the counter, where a shadow line and a sealant joint absorb it. If the counter is the reference, the drift ends up at the top under the cabinet, where a trim piece can cover it. What does not work is splitting the difference and letting both ends run crooked.
