Backsplash in Chula Vista, CA.
Backsplash for Chula Vista homes, done by insured San Diego County remodelers we match to your project. A new backsplash is the highest-impact, lowest-disruption kitchen upgrade you can make. We install subway, zellige, large-format porcelain, marble, and mosaic tile on a proper substrate, set it in modified mortar, and finish with grout or caulk at the counter and corner transitions so the job looks new again in five years..
Why is backsplash different in South County San Diego?
Chula Vista and San Ysidro backsplash projects often replace a builder-grade 4-inch granite slab with a full subway or zellige tile. We demo the old material, install a proper substrate, and set the new tile in modified mortar with clean grout lines. The wall behind the range gets cement board or a KERDI panel for proper heat and moisture protection.
