Once tile arrives, CountBricks assigns a certified installer and project timeline—often three to five working days for a typical 30–40 sq ft backsplash.
• Surfaces are protected with drop cloths and plastic sheeting
• Existing drywall is inspected; cement board is installed if required
• Tile is dry-laid to confirm pattern and minimize cuts
• Thinset is applied with the correct notch trowel; tiles are set with laser guidance
• Grout is packed evenly, sealed, and buffed for a showroom finish
Clients receive a PDF warranty, maintenance guide, and final invoice generated automatically by our platform. No paperwork goes missing.
Boston labor averages $9–$15 per square foot, while tile ranges from $4 ceramic to $35 marble per square foot. Additional factors include:
• Existing backsplash removal
• Specialty edge trim such as bullnose or Schluter profiles
• Complex layouts—herringbone or diagonal patterns increase labor hours
• Electrical or plumbing adjustments behind the wall
With CountBricks, each variable is priced transparently inside your digital quote—no surprise change orders.
