South Salt Lake kitchens near 2100 South and the Granary District have usually been redone at least once, often quickly and between tenants. What turns up behind the counter is a mix: ridges of old mastic from a peel and stick, a square of bare drywall where a cabinet was moved, and cabinets from one decade sitting over a counter from another. None of that has to be pretty, but it does have to be flat and sound before tile, and that prep is the part people do not picture when they pick a sample.
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 South Salt Lake?
Wall prep is usually the variable here: old adhesive, mismatched patches and a cabinet line that does not agree with the counter all have to be made flat and sound before any tile is set. 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.
What is usually hiding behind the old backsplash in a house that has been remodeled before?
In this part of the valley it is commonly a layered history: adhesive from a peel and stick strip, a thin panel screwed over the original wall, or drywall that was patched around a cabinet that moved. Sometimes the original tile is still under a laminate panel. All of it comes off down to a solid, continuous surface, because tile bonded to a loose patch will telegraph that patch later. The unknown is what is under the last layer, which is why a scope written before anything is opened is a guess.
