Backsplash Installation for Orlando Homes
Limas No Limits handles backsplash installation in Orlando for homeowners who want the wall behind the counters, sink and range to look finished and stay easy to clean. We install new backsplashes, replace tired old ones, and take care of the parts that decide how the job looks: the layout, the cuts around outlets and windows, and the joint where tile meets the countertop.
A backsplash is a small area, so every crooked line and uneven gap shows. That is why it is worth having a licensed and insured tile team do it. If you are updating a kitchen, getting a house ready to sell, or simply tired of an old backsplash, we will walk you through the options and give you a free estimate.

Backsplash Installation Services
Kitchen Backsplash Installation
The kitchen backsplash is the one most people ask about. We tile the wall between the countertop and the upper cabinets, behind the sink, and behind the range, including a taller section up to the hood if you want one. We plan around windows, open shelves and cabinet ends so the tile stops in a clean, deliberate place.
For kitchen floors, islands and other kitchen tile work, see our kitchen tile installation page.
Backsplash Replacement
If you already have a backsplash, we can remove it and install a new one. Taking old tile off often damages the drywall behind it, so we repair and prepare the wall before any new tile goes up. Tile can sometimes go over an existing backsplash, but it adds thickness at outlets and edges, and we will tell you plainly whether that makes sense for your wall.
Tile Options for Your Backsplash
-
Subway tile
A classic rectangle that suits most kitchens, set in an offset, stacked or herringbone pattern. See subway tile installation.
-
Glass tile
Reflects light and wipes clean, but needs careful cutting and a setting material that will not show through. See glass tile installation.
-
Mosaic tile
Small pieces on mesh sheets, good for a full backsplash or an accent behind the range. See mosaic tile installation.
-
Ceramic and porcelain
Practical, easy to clean and available in almost any look. See ceramic tile installation.
-
Natural stone and marble
Real veining and texture, but stone is porous and needs sealing. See natural stone and marble tile installation.
The Details That Make a Backsplash Look Right
Layout and Where the Pattern Starts
Before any tile goes up, we plan the layout so the pattern is centered on the focal point, usually the range or the sink. Good planning also keeps the cut pieces at each end from turning into thin slivers. Patterns like herringbone and chevron need more planning and more cuts than a standard offset layout.
Outlets, Switches and Windows
Outlets and switches are where a backsplash most often looks unfinished. Each opening is measured and cut so the cover plate sits over clean tile edges. Because tile adds thickness to the wall, outlet boxes sometimes need to be brought forward to sit flush with the new surface.
Window sills and cabinet ends get the same attention, since they frame the tile on every side.
Edges and Ends
Where the tile stops matters as much as the tile itself. It might end at a cabinet, a wall corner or partway up an open wall. Common finishes are a rounded bullnose tile, a slim metal edge trim, or tile ending neatly against a cabinet or wall. We help you pick the one that suits your tile and room.
How High to Go
Most backsplashes run from the countertop to the underside of the upper cabinets. Behind a range, many homeowners take the tile up to the hood or even the ceiling. On walls without cabinets, it helps to end the tile at a line that matches something nearby, such as the top of a window or a shelf.
Grout, Sealing and the Countertop Joint
Grout color changes the look more than most people expect: a matching color blends in, while a contrasting one shows off the pattern. Cement-based grout is porous, so sealing it helps it resist stains. The joint where the tile meets the countertop gets flexible caulk instead of grout, because grout in that joint tends to crack.
Why It Matters in a Humid Kitchen
Orlando's warm, humid climate, plus daily cooking and sink splashes, means the wall behind a backsplash sees a lot of moisture. Sealed grout and a sound caulk line along the countertop help keep water out of the wall and make grease easier to wipe away.

Licensed, Insured and Straight About What We Promise
Limas No Limits LLC is licensed and insured. We do not publish set prices, because every backsplash is different in size, tile choice and wall condition. Instead, we give you a free estimate after seeing the space.
We also tell you up front if the wall needs repair, if tiling over the old backsplash is a bad idea, or if outlets need attention. You can see examples of our tile work in our portfolio.
Backsplash Installation FAQs
Have a different question?
Call us and we will answer it before you book anything.
Call (407) 398-4817Can you install a new backsplash over the old one?
Sometimes. It depends on whether the old tile is flat and firmly attached, and on how the extra thickness works at outlets and edges. In many cases removing the old backsplash gives a cleaner result. We will check during your free estimate.
How high should a backsplash go?
Most backsplashes run from the countertop to the bottom of the upper cabinets. Behind a range, many people take the tile up to the hood or the ceiling. On open walls, it is best to end at a line that matches a window or shelf.
What is the best tile behind a stove?
Porcelain, ceramic and glass tile all handle kitchen heat well and wipe clean easily. Natural stone also works, but it is porous and needs sealing so grease does not stain it.
Do you cut tile around outlets and switches?
Yes. Each opening is measured and cut so the cover plate sits over clean tile edges. Outlet boxes sometimes need to be brought forward to sit flush with the new tile.
Should backsplash grout be sealed?
Cement-based grout is porous, so sealing it helps it resist grease and stains. Some grout types, such as epoxy grout, do not need sealing. We will tell you which applies to your grout.
What affects the cost of backsplash installation?
The main factors are the size of the area, the tile you choose, the pattern, the number of outlet and window cuts, removing an old backsplash, wall repairs, edge trim and how high the tile goes. A free estimate gives you an exact quote.
Do you offer financing?
Yes, financing is available. Ask about it when you request your free estimate.
Is a peel-and-stick backsplash as good as tile?
Peel-and-stick costs less up front, but it is generally less durable than tile, and heat and moisture can weaken the adhesive over time. A tiled backsplash lasts longer and holds up better to daily kitchen use.
