Backsplash in San Ysidro, CA.
Backsplash for San Ysidro 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.

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.
