Backsplash Installation in Celina & North DFW

Herringbone tile backsplash installed by Floors to Doors.

Answer first

A tile backsplash in North DFW typically runs between $800 and $2,500 installed, depending on the size of the area, the tile you choose, and the pattern. It's one of the fastest, highest-impact upgrades in a kitchen — a weekend's worth of work that completely changes how the room reads, especially in a newer home that came with a builder-basic backsplash or none at all. The cost mostly comes down to tile choice and how intricate the layout is.

01

How much does a backsplash cost to install?

Most kitchen backsplashes in North DFW run $800 to $2,500 installed. A small single run — a bar, a powder room, or a short counter — can come in under that, while larger areas or high-end tile go higher. What moves the number:

  • Area: a standard counter-to-cabinet run is quick; taking it to the ceiling behind a range or covering a full wall adds material and labor.
  • Tile: subway and standard ceramic are budget-friendly; natural stone, marble, glass, and handmade tile cost more.
  • Pattern: a straight stack is fast; herringbone, chevron, and mosaic layouts need more cuts and more time.
  • Prep: outlets, switches, and window returns take extra cutting and care.

Every project is quoted after we see it, and the estimate is free.

02

What kinds of backsplashes do you install?

We install backsplashes in kitchens, bathrooms, and bars, in just about any tile:

  • Subway, in a straight, offset, or herringbone lay
  • Large-format and slab-style backsplashes
  • Natural stone, marble, and travertine
  • Glass, mosaic, and handmade or zellige-style tile
  • Full-height "backsplash to the ceiling" behind a range or hood

Whatever the tile, the standard is the same: clean cuts around outlets, straight lines, and tight, even grout.

03

What makes a backsplash look professionally done?

The difference between a good backsplash and a rough one is all in the details most people don't think about: how the tile meets the counter, how outlets are cut in and sit flush, how the edge is finished where the tile ends, and whether the grout lines stay straight across the whole run. A backsplash is right at eye level, lit from under the cabinets — every sloppy cut shows. That's exactly why we sweat the cuts nobody notices when they're done right.

04

How long does a backsplash take?

Most backsplashes take one to three days — a day to set the tile, then grout and finish after the thinset sets, with a short cure before it's fully done. A larger area, full-height install, or intricate pattern takes longer. We'll give you a realistic timeline at the estimate.

05

Where we install backsplashes

Floors to Doors is based in Celina and installs backsplashes throughout Collin County and North DFW — Prosper, Frisco, McKinney, and nearby communities. Many newer kitchens here came with a builder-basic backsplash or bare wall, and upgrading that to custom tile is exactly the kind of high-impact work we do.
