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.
Millcreek homeowners tend to arrive at this with the tile already chosen, often a natural stone or a glass, because the mid-century brick houses below the canyon get remodeled deliberately rather than quickly. Both materials are unforgiving. Stone is porous and the wrong setting material can stain it from behind, and glass shows everything under it, so the mortar has to be spread evenly and left with full coverage or the shadows read through the face. Those are material decisions worth settling before the wall is prepped.
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 Millcreek?
Material drives most of it here: natural stone and glass need different setting products, more careful coverage and a flatter wall than a standard ceramic subway, and a full slab backsplash is a separate conversation about templating and seams. 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.
Do natural stone and glass backsplashes need different prep than ceramic?
Yes, and the difference is mostly invisible once the job is done. Glass is translucent, so trowel ridges, voids and any color in the mortar show through the finished face, which means a white setting material and full coverage rather than spot bonding. Marble and other porous stone can be stained by moisture and pigment coming out of the wrong mortar, and some stone wants sealing before grouting so the grout does not haze the face. Both want a flatter wall, because the reflection off a honed or glossy surface makes small variations obvious.
