Counter to ceiling, around the hood, behind open shelves — the dramatic wall, engineered straight.

A full-height splash turns the wall into the kitchen's feature instead of its background. In West Hartford we build them behind ranges, around hoods, behind open shelving and on sink walls — anywhere a standard 18-inch run would leave the design unfinished.

What full-height demands
- A flat wall: tall runs magnify every wave. We skim and float until a straightedge agrees.
- Layout discipline: courses stay level across the full height; outlets and fixtures land on joints, not mid-tile, wherever possible.
- Clean termination: the top edge meets crown, ceiling or a Schluter-style profile crisply.
West Hartford kitchens are frequently mid-renovation: new counters and appliances in an old shell. That combination is the classic mismatched-backsplash call — the counters went in last spring and the wall is still the previous owner's beige.
If the wall is not right, we make it right
- Lines sighted with you before we leave
- Plates flush, caulk smooth, haze polished
- Anything off gets fixed — that is the walkthrough
West Hartford kitchens, in brief
Why West Hartford walls differ: West Hartford kitchens are frequently mid-renovation: new counters and appliances in an old shell. That combination is the classic mismatched-backsplash call — the counters went in last spring and the wall is still the previous owner's beige. In West Hartford the backsplash is usually the last item in a phased kitchen, and it is the item most often left half-decided because it is the one nobody wants to get wrong.
Full-height wall questions
How much does a backsplash cost in West Hartford?
Most West Hartford kitchens land between $800 and $2,000 installed. Basic subway on a flat wall sits at the low end; glass, handmade-look or full-height work runs higher. Small baths typically cost $350–$800.
Do I need to pick tile before you visit?
No. Bring ideas, photos, or nothing at all — we narrow the choice at the free measure based on your wall, light and budget.
Do you remove the old backsplash?
Yes — careful removal, wall repair and haul-away are quoted up front as part of the job, not discovered halfway through.
How long does a backsplash take?
A standard kitchen is two days — setting day, then grout day. Small baths often finish in one day. Full-height walls and tear-out replacements run two to four days.
