Warning Signs

When New Lenox Kitchens Need a New Backsplash

Old backsplash tile cracks, stains, and gets loose over time. This happens most behind the stove, where grease and heat build up. Many homes in Spencer's Crossing and Bradshaw Farms were built in the 1990s and 2000s. Their first tile is now 20 to 25 years old. It's showing wear and tear. Grout lines turn gray, tiles chip, and some pieces pull away from the wall. Older homes near downtown New Lenox have plaster walls. Sometimes the wall itself needs extra prep work. This happens before new tile goes up. Waiting usually makes things worse. Water can get behind loose tile and hurt the wall underneath. Tile is still one of the most common and strong choices for this job[1].

Common Issues

Cracked or Chipped Tile

Older tile near the stove or sink often cracks from heat or bumps. We pull it out and put in something built to last.

Old Style

A lot of kitchens still have the same plain tile from the day the house was built. We help you pick something that fits today's look.

Grease and Staining

Years of cooking leave stains that no amount of scrubbing will fix. New backsplash tile fixes that for good.

Loose or Falling Tile

When grout fails, tile can start pulling away from the wall. We check for water damage before putting new tile up.

Full Kitchen Remodel

Backsplash is often the last touch on a bigger kitchen remodel job. We time it to match new countertops and cabinets.

Wall Prep Needed

Older plaster walls near downtown New Lenox sometimes need patching or leveling before tile can go up right.

Fair Pricing

Backsplash Installation Cost in New Lenox

Price depends on a few things. Your kitchen wall size matters. The tile you pick matters too. How much wall prep you need also changes the price. Homes near Prairie Bluff and Cherry Hill often pick fancier tile or stone. Smaller kitchens near Cedar Road tend to cost less. They land on the lower end of the price range. Older plaster walls sometimes add a bit to the cost since they need patching first. We give you a written quote before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

✓ Clear quotes before we start cutting or installing anything.
✓ You approve the final price before work starts.
✓ No hidden fees added after the job is done.

Bill was fantastic to work with. I had an idea in mind what I wanted for my small laundry room, but unsure how to make it all work. His idea to add a deep, panty-like cabinet to fit vacuums, mops, and ironing board worked out perfectly. The pull-out drawers for soaps, the steamer, the iron, and many other essentials have been so convenient for storage. I will use him for my next project.
Thank you so much for your excellent work. I will definitely use your services for my next project.

After another contractor flaked out, Bill went above and beyond to finish our kitchen remodel. He didn’t stop until we were completely satisfied. He is unmatched when it comes to customer satisfaction.

We are extremely pleased to have discovered RBI. Initially, we were set on re-facing, but something felt off. Once we met Bill, everything changed. They made a minor reconfiguration that enhanced the functionality of my kitchen. They provided us with high-quality all-wood cabinetry and finishes that we thought were beyond our budget. Bill also sourced a stunning quartz countertop for us. Remarkably, the total cost was almost the same as the re-facing option. Additionally, they painted our kitchen, upgraded our electrical system, repaired our tile floor, installed new lighting, and assisted us in acquiring a new microwave hood and dishwasher. The products, craftsmanship, and pricing were all excellent. We had a fantastic experience!
