How we handle backsplash installation

A backsplash protects the wall behind the sink and stove and sets the style of the whole kitchen.

We help you pick tile that suits your counters, then install it with clean cuts around outlets, windows and cabinet edges.

Reno has about 120,491 homes, and the typical one was built around 1989; 38% went up before 1980.

Our process

Backsplash Installation, step by step

Start with a short call

A few questions about the room, the timeline and the budget you have in mind.

Measure and listen

A visit to measure the room and hear how you use it.

Design and written quote

You get a plan and a line-by-line price before anything is ordered.

Lock in materials

Orders go in and the start date is set once lead times are confirmed.

Demolition and build

Old kitchen out, then plumbing, electrical, cabinets and counters in.

Finish and hand over

Final details and a walkthrough so you know everything works.

Before you start

Good to know

Small mosaic and handmade tiles take longer to install, so labor costs more per square foot.

Outlets may need box extenders after tile goes on; it is a small part of doing the job right.

Kitchen work that changes plumbing, electrical or gas lines, or moves walls, needs a permit; cabinets, countertops and paint on their own usually do not. Reno reviews new work against the 2024 building codes adopted on July 1, 2025. Questions go to the City of Reno Building Division at (775) 334-2063.

FAQ

Backsplash Installation: common questions

How much does backsplash installation cost in Reno?

Typical Nevada prices: tile backsplash $15–$40 per sq ft installed; quartz countertops $50–$150 per sq ft installed; porcelain tile flooring $8–$18 per sq ft installed. The size of the job and your material choices set the final number.

How long does backsplash installation take?

Plan on 2–4 weeks for a project at this level. Material lead times are the main variable.

Does a kitchen remodel need a permit in Reno?

Kitchen work that changes plumbing, electrical or gas lines, or moves walls, needs a permit; cabinets, countertops and paint on their own usually do not. Reno reviews new work against the 2024 building codes adopted on July 1, 2025. Questions go to the City of Reno Building Division at (775) 334-2063.

What license should a kitchen contractor have in Nevada?

Nevada requires a contractor license for work of $1,000 or more in labor and materials combined, and for any job that needs a building permit or involves plumbing, electrical, heating or air-conditioning work, whatever the price (NRS 624.031). You can look up any contractor on the Nevada State Contractors Board website before you sign.

Is it worth changing my kitchen layout?

It can be, but it is the fastest way to grow a budget, because plumbing, gas, venting and wiring all have to follow. Often better storage or an island fixes the problem for less.

How do I get an exact price from Reno Kitchen Co.?
