Backsplash in South Tampa, CA.
Backsplash for South Tampa homes, done by insured Tampa Bay 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 Central Tampa?
Seminole Heights and Hyde Park bungalows often still have a dated 4-inch tile backsplash from a prior remodel, replaced with full-height subway tile or zellige tied to the historic character of the home. Proper substrate goes in behind the range and, near Bayshore, grout and sealants rated for the humid, salty air are standard.
