Should You Go Do It Yourself For Your Kitchen Tile Backsplash?

Article Category: Home Management

Author Name: Mike S. Fisler

People who have never seen or are not aware of what a kitchen tile backsplash is are often pleaseantly surprised by how beautiful they can be.

Backsplashes are often made of colorful kitchen tiles of great color and or striking patterns. For example, the mosaic in clay by Ann Sacks is really nice good. In fact, a nice backsplash is one of the items that can make your kitchen go from boring to upscale fancy.

In this article we are going to speak about the pros and cons of going DYI to build a beautiful tile backsplash. Let's start by talking budget. The generally accepted wisdom is that you can expect to pay about $25 per square foot if you go do it yourself. Your expense will be in tile and grout, plus tools if you don't already have them. A good tile is the mosaic mentioned above. A good grout is Trucolor Premixed in Alabaster, by Bostik.

Now let's speak about time. People who have done this project before will tell you that it takes about five hours of work, spread out over three days. Your mileage may vary depending on your experience and level of skill.

If you are good with the time and money aspects of doing it yourself then keep reading, we will get into some of the details. Here is how it works. The tile comes on 12 x 12 inch sheets of paper. You place the tile where you want the backsplash to be and affix it to the wall. You may have to cut the tile sheets to work around counters and or cabinets. Once in place you grout them up as appropriate. Does not sound too bad right? Let me make a suggestion.

If you have never done this project before there are two things you can do that will make your life lots easier. First, go to youtube.com and view five videos on how to install backsplash tile. This will take you less than an hour and will save you perhaps day of time. It will also better inform your decision to go DUI or not.

The second recommendation is to do a dry run first. Find a place in your garage, basement or attic where you can go through all the steps and actually build a small backsplash. This is priceless experience. The benefit is that when you go to work on your kitchen you will have the experience and confidence to get the project done right and fast. It's no fun having torn up your wife's kitchen and having her ask if you know what you are doing. No fun at all.

In summary, a backsplash will make your kitchen more beautiful and it will save you time every day in clean up. It's worth doing.
