Why Your Kitchen Backsplash Might Be Due for an Upgrade
New countertops or cabinets almost always expose how dated the old backsplash looks by comparison — chipped tile, yellowed grout, or a plain painted wall where tile should be. A mismatched backsplash is one of the first things people notice in an otherwise updated kitchen, and gaps between counter and wall, especially behind a range or sink, let moisture and grease get behind the wall over time.
Style clash with counters or cabinets
Dated design that undermines an otherwise updated kitchen.
Cracked, chipped, or missing tile
Damage that lets moisture and grease reach the wall behind it.
Painted drywall behind the counter
Grease, moisture, and stains absorb directly into the wall.

Tile Backsplash Installation in Dayton — What to Expect
A backsplash is one of the fastest ways to change the whole feel of a kitchen, but it only looks right if the tile actually matches your counters and cabinets. AGM Tile & Flooring handles that matching process personally — including a free tile selection appointment with our local supplier partner, where you can bring photos of your countertop and cabinets to find the right fit before we ever set a single tile.
Because we personally handle the product-matching side, you’re not guessing whether a tile sample under store lighting will actually match your counters at home. And every install carries our craftsmanship guarantee — if something we set doesn’t hold, we come back and fix it.
Level starter row
We shoot a laser line and set the first row perfectly — everything above it stays true.
Clean outlet & switch cuts
Cut with a wet saw and diamond bit, not a grinder — no chipped edges.
Proper edge treatment
Schluter edge trim, bullnose, or a mitered return — never a raw tile edge.
Sealed & wiped
Grout sealed, haze removed, and outlets reinstalled with matching plates.

Prep & Layout

How Much Does Tile Backsplash Installation Cost in Dayton?
Backsplash pricing depends on tile material and size, the pattern you choose, and how much wall space you’re covering — a straight-lay subway tile job costs less than an intricate mosaic or natural stone pattern. We provide an exact quote after seeing your kitchen in person, and that quote includes prep, setting, grout, and sealing. Being a specialty job doesn’t mean a padded price — we quote backsplashes the same straightforward way we quote everything else.
