Preparation & Removal
For flooring: Remove existing flooring, inspect and repair subfloor if needed, ensure level surface. For backsplash: Protect countertops and appliances, prepare wall surface, mark layout lines. All prep work ensures proper installation and longevity.
Installation
Flooring: Install underlayment if needed, lay flooring with proper expansion gaps, ensure level transitions. Backsplash: Install tile with proper spacing, use quality thinset and grout, ensure waterproof seal at countertop. Professional installation prevents future problems.
Finishing & Cleanup
Install baseboards and trim, apply grout and sealant, clean all surfaces thoroughly. We conduct final walkthrough to ensure your satisfaction and provide care instructions for your new flooring and backsplash.
Timeline varies based on room size, materials selected, and scope of work. Average kitchen takes 3-5 days total. We provide detailed timelines during consultation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about kitchen flooring and backsplash installation.
Timeline depends on room size and materials. Flooring typically takes 2-3 days for average kitchen (including removal and prep). Backsplash usually takes 1-2 days. Tile installations require additional time for grout curing. We provide specific timelines during your consultation.
LVP (Luxury Vinyl Plank) is our most popular recommendation - it's 100% waterproof, durable, affordable, and looks great. Porcelain tile is also excellent for durability. Hardwood can work but requires more maintenance in kitchens. We help you choose based on your priorities: budget, style, and maintenance preferences.
No, you can stay home during installation. However, your kitchen will be out of service during the work. We recommend setting up a temporary kitchen area in another room. For flooring projects, we work room by room when possible to minimize disruption.
Flooring: Sweep or vacuum regularly, damp mop with appropriate cleaner, clean spills promptly. Backsplash: Wipe down after cooking, use mild cleaner weekly, seal grout annually. Specific maintenance varies by material - we provide detailed care instructions for your selections.
We do our best to match existing flooring, but exact matches can be difficult if your current flooring is discontinued. We can often find very close alternatives, or we recommend using transition strips to create an intentional border between different flooring types. Sometimes updating adjoining rooms creates the best result.
Costs vary widely based on materials and room size. Flooring: $3-15 per sq ft installed. Backsplash: $10-30 per sq ft installed. Average kitchen (150 sq ft floor, 30 sq ft backsplash): $1,200-3,500 total. We provide detailed estimates during consultation with no obligation.
