About the service
Turn a plain kitchen or bathroom wall into a handcrafted focal point with a fully custom ceramic tile mosaic backsplash, designed and installed by hand from the first sketch to the final seal coat. I hand-cut every tessera from glazed stoneware and porcelain blanks using a tile nipper and wet saw, shaping curves, borders and pictorial elements that machine-cut sheets simply cannot reproduce. Each project starts with a scaled drawing and a physical sample board so you can approve the palette, grout color and joint width before a single tile touches the wall. Substrate prep is not skipped: I check for level, seal porous drywall or cement board, and apply a waterproof membrane behind any wet-area installation so the mosaic holds up to steam, splashes and years of cleaning. Grout is color-matched and sealed with a penetrating sealer rated for kitchens and baths, and edges are finished with bullnose or metal trim so nothing feels unfinished. My portfolio spans geometric medallions, botanical panels, subway-and-accent combinations and full accent walls, and I bring reference photos from past installs so you know exactly what texture and sheen to expect. Typical turnaround runs one to two weeks depending on square footage and pattern complexity, including a dry-lay walkthrough where you can shift individual pieces before the thin-set goes down. I also handle old tile demolition, minor drywall patching and cleanup, so you are left with a finished wall and nothing else to coordinate.
