Question 4

Do I need to remove my old backsplash before installation?

In most cases, yes - we remove the existing backsplash before installing new tile to ensure a flat, properly bonded surface. In some cases, we can tile over existing tile if the surface is sound and level. We will assess your existing backsplash during your free estimate.

Subway tile remains the most popular backsplash choice in Austin, particularly in white, off-white, and soft gray tones. Large-format porcelain slabs, zellige-style handmade tile, and natural stone mosaics are trending in higher-end Austin kitchens in 2026.

Yes - we install backsplash tile in bathrooms, laundry rooms, and wet bars throughout Austin. Bathroom backsplash tile behind vanities and around tub surrounds is a popular upgrade that adds style and protects walls from moisture.

Do you install grout and caulk as part of backsplash installation?

Yes - grout and caulk are included in every backsplash installation. We use sanded or unsanded grout depending on joint width, and we apply silicone caulk at all inside corners and transitions to prevent cracking and water infiltration.

Capital City Flooring Austin provides a 5-year labor warranty on all backsplash installations. This covers tile setting, grout, and caulk. We stand behind our work and will address any issues that arise after your project is complete.
