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.
West Jordan went up in waves, and the backsplash question changes with the wave. Near Redwood Road, Jordan Landing and Gardner Village the kitchen has usually been through one update already, so an older tile or a laminate splash has to be dealt with before anything new goes on. In the newer builds out toward Bangerter and 7800 South the house is still settling through its early years, and the joint where the counter meets the wall keeps moving. That joint takes a flexible sealant, not grout, or it opens up the first winter.
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 West Jordan?
Scope depends on what is on the wall now, whether the kitchen has already been updated once, and how the tile meets a counter that is still moving slightly in a newer house. 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.
Why does the line where the backsplash meets the counter keep cracking in a newer West Jordan home?
That line is a change of plane between two materials that move independently, and in a house only a few years old the framing is still drying and settling. Grout is rigid and has nothing to give, so it cracks and then stains. The correct detail there is a flexible sealant matched to the grout color, kept as a clean narrow joint. It can be renewed later without touching the tile.
