The backsplash takes splashes and grease every day in a Burbank kitchen, so a real installation pairs a great look with surfaces and grout that wipe clean. The team preps the substrate, dry-lays the pattern to land the cuts cleanly, then sets and grouts the tile to a durable, easy-clean finish. The older housing stock around Burbank keeps every backsplash job a little different, and our prep-first approach handles whatever the wall turns out to be. The price is agreed before we begin, and we are honest about whether the wall needs prep rather than hiding it under new tile.

Why This Project Pays Off
A backsplash is a small area where precision is fully exposed, which is why the layout is everything. A skilled installer dry-lays the pattern to balance the cuts, center the field behind the range, and avoid the slivers and awkward seams that mark an amateur job. Because the backsplash sits right between the counter and the cabinets at eye level, every crooked line shows. We plan the layout on each Burbank job so the full tiles land where they matter and the cuts hide where they should.
Remodeling a kitchen changes a Burbank home in two ways: it upgrades the space you live in and it strengthens the property itself. Both depend on quality. A remodel built on careful prep and precise installation keeps performing and keeps its value for years. One built on shortcuts looks fine for a season and then starts failing in the doors that sag and the seams that open. The investment is real — but only when the work behind the finishes is done right.
How We Handle It
Grout and sealing decide how a backsplash ages in a working kitchen. The right grout color changes the whole look — a contrasting line emphasizes the pattern, a matching one lets the field read as a continuous surface — and the right grout type, properly sealed, resists the grease and splatter a Burbank kitchen throws at it. We help homeowners choose grout that stays looking clean, because the prettiest tile fails the eye test once the grout goes gray and greasy behind the stove.
The wall behind the counter has to be flat and sound before any tile goes up. Older Burbank kitchens often have walls that wave or are damaged from the old backsplash, and tiling over that telegraphs every imperfection through the finished surface. We flatten and prep the wall first, because a backsplash set on a bad substrate looks uneven no matter how good the tile is — and prep is the step a rushed crew skips to save an hour.
Burbank Housing and Your Kitchen
Our work runs through Burbank and the neighboring communities, where many kitchens are overdue for a real update. The homes here were often laid out before anyone thought about open, social, eat-in kitchens, so a lot of what we do is rethinking the space, not just refreshing it. Knowing the local housing stock lets us see the opportunities — and the constraints — before we ever pick up a tool.
Where Good Design Earns Its Keep
The best Burbank kitchen remodels solve problems before they style anything. Storage that actually holds what you own, counter space where you prep, a layout that lets two cooks work without colliding, lighting that works for both tasks and gathering. Get those right and the finishes have something solid to sit on. We treat design as problem-solving first and decoration second, which is why our kitchens keep working long after the novelty wears off.
When we finish a Burbank kitchen, you should understand exactly what we built and why it will last. That clarity is the core of how Romanos Kitchen Builders works. We walk you through the materials and the plan, we keep you informed as the project moves, and we never bury the real cost in vague line items. The homeowners who refer us to neighbors do so because we did what we said, for the price we said.
Beyond a single service line
A kitchen is one project, so backsplash installation rarely stands alone — it connects to kitchen remodel, custom cabinets, countertop installation, custom island, new kitchen floors, and our crew handles all of it under one roof. We bring the same service to Backsplash Installation in Glendale, Pasadena backsplash installation, North Hollywood backsplash installation, Backsplash Installation in Studio City and everywhere else across the Burbank area.
