Soft pinks, sunset oranges, and warm terracotta tones are dominating residential mood boards this year. A coral backsplash delivers those hues in a single, eye-catching plane, instantly modernizing kitchens while remaining timeless enough to age gracefully. Homeowners love its ability to brighten smaller spaces, complement natural wood cabinets, and pull subtle warmth from engineered countertops. For remodelers, that popularity translates into more client requests and a chance to upsell material upgrades and specialty labor.
• Porcelain or ceramic subway tile for a clean, budget-friendly grid
• Glass mosaic sheets that refract light and amplify coral’s vibrancy
• Handmade zellige tiles for artisanal texture and variation
• Large-format quartz panels for a nearly seamless, grout-free finish
CountBricks Pro Insight: Our AI engine analyzes local supplier inventories in real time, highlighting which coral tile SKUs are actually in stock and which require special ordering. That keeps your schedule tight and your markup intact.
Traditional takeoffs involve ruler-scrolling across blueprints or surface measurements scribbled on site. CountBricks compresses those steps into a single voice conversation. Simply describe the kitchen dimensions, preferred tile format, and trim details. Our platform:
1. Uses speech recognition to capture every spec
2. Cross-checks measurements against uploaded plans
3. Generates a line-item material list—field tile, trim, thin-set, grout, and sealant
4. Applies local labor rates and live supplier pricing
5. Outputs a branded estimate ready to send or convert into an invoice
Because the data is live, contractors avoid slippage when suppliers adjust tile costs next week. That transparency builds homeowner trust and locks in margins.
1. Protect countertops and range with ram board and plastic sheeting
2. Verify wall plumb and float any uneven surfaces
3. Dry-lay coral tile to confirm pattern symmetry at focal points
4. Apply thin-set with appropriate notch size—usually 1/4" for ceramics, 3/8" for thicker terracotta
5. Set tiles with consistent 1/8" spacing unless design demands tighter joints
6. Wait 24 hours, then grout with color-matched sanded or unsanded grout
7. Seal and polish; reinstall plates, fixtures, and under-cabinet lighting
• Shade variation surprises: Our estimate includes a 10% overage so you can cull tiles that are too light or too dark.
• Outlet spacing: AI takeoffs mark every cutout so installers pre-score plates and minimize on-site grinding.
• Last-minute material swaps: Because Cost Sync updates nightly, you’ll receive alerts if a glass mosaic is discontinued and suggested replacements with near-identical dimensions.
Homeowners often ask, “Why does a backsplash this small cost so much?” With CountBricks estimates, you can break it down:
• Materials 40–55% of total
• Labor 30–40% depending on tile complexity
• Surface prep 10%
• Disposal, protection, cleanup 5%
Including this transparency in your proposal reduces negotiation friction and elevates your professional image.

A Cape Coral homeowner wanted a blush-to-deep-coral gradient backsplash but worried about custom costs. Using CountBricks, contractor VillaBuild uploaded the design sketch and received a gradient tile map, exact color quantities, and a budget 11% below the client’s expectation. The project closed within 48 hours and finished a full week early because materials were pre-sorted off-site per the AI map. See photos at CountBricks.com/portfolio.

The true value of CountBricks goes beyond a single estimate. By embedding our coral backsplash data set into your daily processes, you create a feedback loop that sharpens future bids and trims overhead.
1. Historical Cost Libraries Every backsplash quote you generate is archived under your profile. Next time a homeowner requests a similar square footage, the system surfaces real-world material and labor actuals, reducing contingency padding and making your bid more competitive.
2. Supplier Scorecards CountBricks tracks on-time deliveries and breakage percentages for each tile vendor. When you select a coral glass mosaic, the platform ranks suppliers so you can prioritize reliability over marginal price differences—critical during peak remodel seasons.
3. Crew Performance Metrics Field crews log hours directly into the project dashboard. Over time, you’ll know exactly how long a 40-sq-ft porcelain backsplash takes versus an 80-sq-ft zellige install. That insight helps balance schedules and allocate your most efficient tilers to high-margin work.
• Offer a digital color render: Upload a photo of the client’s kitchen and let CountBricks overlay the coral tile. Visual proof accelerates sign-off.
• Bundle lighting upgrades: Coral tones glow under warm LED strips. The platform lets you add optional line items with one click, increasing upsell revenue.
• Leverage milestone invoicing: Set deposits, mid-project draws, and completion payments tied to automated progress photos. Clients stay confident, and cash flow stays healthy.
When the final grout haze is wiped away, tag project photos in your CountBricks portfolio. Prospective clients browsing “coral backsplash” on your site will see real examples linked to transparent pricing data—proof that you deliver on both beauty and budget.
