Backsplash Removal & Replacement in Newington
Old tile out, wall repaired, new splash in — counters and cabinets untouched.
Replacing a backsplash is two jobs: careful demolition and then the new install. The demolition half is where replacements go wrong — gouged drywall, cracked counters, dust through the whole house. Our Newington replacements start with protection (counters masked, cabinets taped, dust contained) and end with a wall that looks like the old tile was never there.
Newington kitchens, in brief
Why Newington walls differ: Original Newington kitchens usually mean 4x4 tile or a painted wall with a 12-inch splash strip behind the range. Because the cabinets are laid out tightly, tile choice matters more than wall length: a busy mosaic visually shrinks an already narrow run, while a calm subway opens it up. Newington Center has a steady stream of 'we just bought the house and the kitchen is dated but functional' calls — the wall is the cheapest room-changer available.
What replacement includes
- Controlled tile removal with dust containment
- Drywall repair or re-skimming where the old adhesive tore the surface
- Haul-away of the debris — no homeowner dump runs
- Full new install: set, grout, seal, caulk, clean

Yes — careful removal, wall repair and haul-away are quoted up front as part of the job, not discovered halfway through.
Most Newington kitchens land between $800 and $2,000 installed. Basic subway on a flat wall sits at the low end; glass, handmade-look or full-height work runs higher. Small baths typically cost $350–$800.
A standard kitchen is two days — setting day, then grout day. Small baths often finish in one day. Full-height walls and tear-out replacements run two to four days.
