How To Install a PERFECT Tile Backsplash (All Materials, Tools and Prices Included)

Hey Gang! Before we started this backsplash project we realized we had never done a super in depth backsplash tutorial. So we poured everything we had into this one! Our goal for this video was to be a one stop shop for all questions and troubles you may have when tackling this yourself. Of course we can't touch on everything, so feel free to ask any questions below! If we don't get to it a member of the Pack will. We've included every tool you'll need for a job like this (Ceramic tile) and the price, so you can get a good idea of how much money and time it'll take you, you got this! Thanks so much for watching and we'll see ya in the next one

Check out this website for so many tips and tricks. If we didn't cover it in this video, this will have it

Adjustable depth boxes (much cheaper at home centers but here's the model #)

I saw the video and thought, "I won't watch the whole thing. I'll skip through and get some tips" but once it started, I was transfixed, listening to every word. Great video guys, thank you. 👍

Here's a little trick. Before spreading your mortar or tile adhesive, run some short #6-32 screws into the outlet holes. It will help you keep adhesive out of the screw holes. When you're ready to reinstall the outlets or switches, remove the screws and you'll have nice clean holes that are adhesive free.

Hey, I just wanted to stop by and thank you so much for this video. I just tackled the backsplash in my kitchen, and I’ve never done tile work. But after a few watches of your video, it turned out great! My wife was almost in tears of happiness! You really helped me out, and I seriously appreciate it! Thanks

Stud Pack continues to remind the world: Projects on Youtube ain't all glitz and glamour. Even for people who make tutorials. Mistakes were made. We all learn from them and do the best we can! 👊👊👊

Admitting your mistakes not only makes you a bigger man, but, earnes you greater respect. It's not just the quality of craftsmanship, or the great tips on How To, or even the fun that you two make it. But, it's the being REAL that keeps guys like us ...coming back! Another GREAT video.

Despite their trials. It looks amazing. That raised tile really makes the kitchen shine.

I wish all contractors were as skilled and proud of their work as you two are. There are a lot of contractors that are scamming people, especially seasoned people, and doing shoddy work or leaving them with unfinished homes!!!

BEST Tile Backsplash installation over YouTube. Period.

[philipgrice]

Okay. You've convinced me. Bigger tiles mean less grouting. Nice work fellas.

Paul, your example as a dad is one of the things that keeps me watching these videos. I really appreciate how you treat Jordan and that video of your toast at your daughter’s wedding was a real testament to how you raise your kids. I mean, the building advice is top notch, too (I’ve learned a lot from you) that but the obvious love you have for Jordan is inspiring and has encouraged me to include my two boys and my daughter more in the manual jobs I do around the house. We spent the day today chopping up trees that fell in a recent storm and doing a bunch of other yard work. Add in some errands like running to the hardware store to get them all their own sets of work gloves and heading to the gas station to fill up the gas cans, and it turned out to be a really great day spent with my kids. We all had a good time together and they learned a little bit about the value of hard work!

Thanks for letting your heart show through in these videos and thanks for even including the times that you get it wrong or get frustrated. The fact that you had any useable footage from that drainage pipe under the foundation video was pretty impressive to me. 🙂

All the best,

I waited at least 15 minutes to hit the like button. It was perfect timing, didn't even hurt my finger!

I’m in the middle of our kitchen remodel. We just got the cabinets in and countertops installed. Now I was going to tackle the backsplash. Your videos are to the point with lots of tips. I really enjoy learning from y’all.

Nice to see young people learning a trade, and working with dad. Dad I’m sure your in your glory, this from a retired house painter. Thanks for sharing

I wanted to thank you and your son for this video. Even though I am definitely not new to tile work, every once in a while you will come across a little tidbit of information that completely changes your work flow. For me it was "shaping the grout line". I had never used an implement to do this before. I always relied on my skill with a sponge to achieve the finished look. I just finished tiling our new shower yesterday and began grouting today. I used 1/8" spacers so after floating the grout and waiting for my golden window of opportunity, I used a 3"8" diameter dowel to shape my grout line. WOW! What a game changer. It was incredibly satisfying and created beautiful, uniform grout lines like I had never before achieved. Thank you again for sharing your experitis.

Hello! I just wanted to write a note and say thank you SO much for your encouraging and informative video. I've been staring at my un-tiled kitchen for too long, trying to motivate myself to tackle it. When I was ready, I was lucky to stumble across this video which had all the information I needed, but you gave so much more. The tips and tricks, the can-do positivity, the thorough explanation. Thank you so much!
