Backsplash Tile Installation Services in Idaho
Adding a backsplash isn’t just about looks — it’s about protection, durability, and keeping your kitchen or bathroom easier to clean. At Urban Edge Construction, we handle backsplash tile installation in Idaho, with care, attention to detail, and a solid understanding of what works long-term.
Whether you’re updating your home or working on new construction, our crew in Idaho is ready to get your tile work done right.
We install a wide range of backsplash tile types and styles, including:
- Ceramic and Porcelain: Affordable, reliable, and widely used. Great for everyday wear and tear.
- Glass Tile: Reflects light, adds color, and works well in both kitchens and bathrooms.
- Natural Stone (Marble, Travertine, Slate): Adds texture and depth. It needs sealing but offers long-term value.
- Mosaic Patterns: This is for homeowners who want a more detailed or custom design.
- Subway Tile: Classic, clean, and fits most styles — modern or traditional.
We’re familiar with every layout — from standard running bonds to herringbone and stacked patterns. Whether you’re going for a modern look or a traditional style, we can install it consistently across every row and corner.
Our Backsplash Tile Installation Process
We don’t rush. Here’s how we approach every backsplash tile job in Idaho:
- Planning and Layout
We start by measuring the area, discussing tile selection, and figuring out pattern alignment. This ensures tiles line up correctly with outlets, cabinets, and countertops.
- Surface Prep
We check for dry, flat surfaces and prep the wall as needed. That might include patching, sanding, or using backer boards if required.
- Tile Installation
Using appropriate adhesives and spacers, we set the tiles row by row. Corners, edges, and cut pieces are handled cleanly to avoid uneven lines.
- Grouting and Cleanup
Once tiles are set, we grout with your preferred color. After drying, we wipe down any haze and apply sealant if needed — especially for natural stone.

FAQs
Grout type depends on the tile material and joint size. Unsanded grout works best for narrow joints under 1/8”, while sanded grout holds up better in wider gaps. For glass tile or polished stone, use non-abrasive grout to avoid scratching. Epoxy grout offers extra durability and stain resistance but is harder to apply.
Yes, but it depends on the surface condition. If the old tile is firmly attached and flat, the new tile can go over it with proper cleaning and a bonding agent. For drywall, the wall must be dry, smooth, and primed. If moisture damage or loose material is present, replacement is recommended before installation.
For an average kitchen backsplash (around 20–30 sq ft), installation typically takes 1–2 days. Day one covers layout, tile setting, and cleanup. Grouting is usually done the day after the adhesive cure. More complex patterns or stone materials can extend the timeline.
