Premier Backsplash Installation in Downers Grove / Bolingbrook

From Top Industry Professionals in Downers Grove / Bolingbrook

A backsplash in a kitchen or bathroom is a simple home renovation that can dramatically change the overall look of the room and add value to the home. This simple addition is an easy, cost effective solution to updating a kitchen or bathroom on a budget. Backsplashes are not only aesthetically pleasing but serve to protect walls from water damage, grease or food stains. The maintenance of a backsplash is simple and straightforward. The backsplash is more washable and durable than a simple wall with paint as the only protective surface. This means that any food that splashes onto the wall when cooking is easily wiped away. Anyone who has cleaned pasta sauce off of paint knows what a benefit this can be!

Backsplashes are commonly found in kitchens and bathrooms. Today we are seeing backsplash installation in Downers Grove / Bolingbrook in laundry rooms as well. Backsplashes are excellent choices for these rooms for two main reasons. They provide protection from water damage and create a durable and easy to clean surface in areas that are prone to splashes. Furthermore, backsplashes are being used more and more to create an impactful design statement. Backsplashes can draw the eye and tie a room together. There is a beautiful statement backsplash just right for each home, and Footprints Floors are here to make sure the end result is perfect.

Backsplash Options

As you begin your search for the right selection for your backsplash, you will find an endless list of possibilities. Our craftsmen at Footprints Floors are prepared to help with the backsplash installation of your material of choice.

Glass Tile


Like marble, glass tiles can be a more affordable option to make a space feel larger and brighter by bouncing light throughout a room. Glass tiles have a very pleasing way of also accenting the colors beneath the glass, giving off an often captivating look and feel. Glass tiles are low maintenance, easy to clean and very durable.

Ceramic Tile


Ceramic tiles are by far our most popular request for backsplash and wall tile installations. Ceramic tiles are extremely durable, scratch resistant, low maintenance, and are super easy to keep clean. With some of the most diverse designs available, homeowners really can’t go wrong with ceramic tiles as their wall accent of choice.

Stone


To create a warm and comforting look and feel, homeowners might choose to accent their spaces with stone wall tiles for backsplashes. Stone is incredibly durable, heat resistant and conveys a truly timeless impression.

Mirror Tile


While this wall accent is more rare, mirror tiles are a great choice for someone wanting to visually expand their space. Mirrors create a natural optical illusion that the space is much larger than it actually is. This comes in handy for rooms with low ceilings and in spaces that are more narrow.

Marble


For a more elegant touch, homeowners might consider installing marble for their wall accents. Marble has a natural polished glimmer that reflects light; making rooms seem more spacious. Yet for such an upscale material, marble is also durable and easy to care for.

Shiplap


This chic and modern wall accent serves as an alternative to a more traditional backsplash or wall tile. Shiplap is typically an inexpensive wall covering solution that is sure to bring a lot of texture and depth to any space.

How Much Does Backsplash Installation Cost?


A tile backsplash can dramatically transform the atmosphere of your kitchen or bathroom. Not only does it protect your walls from everyday splatters and spills, but it’s also an easy way to create a unique design for your kitchen or bathroom that fits your style. If you are considering investing in a tile backsplash, you may wonder how much you’ll need to budget to complete the space of your dreams.

Backsplash installation costs vary based on multiple factors. First, the price of the tile itself will vary based on the size and material of the tile. The type of tile you choose will factor into the installation cost, which will also include the size of the space and the complexity of the design you choose. Your final cost will add on the price of any necessary additional materials, such as mortar and grout, and factors such as labor and hazard potentials. Footprints Floors is an affordable option for installation because we don’t require you to purchase your tile from a limited selection. We offer expert results at a reasonable price, saving you money, time, and stress while delivering high–quality and long–lasting results. Contact us today to get a free estimate on your project!

Can I Install Backsplash Myself?

Tile backsplashes are a popular home remodel for homeowners looking to update their space. It’s an easy way to add value to your home while refreshing the style and function of any kitchen bathroom. But don’t be fooled into thinking backsplash installation is an easy project done on your own. While a DIY installation with peel–and–stick backsplash tiles may seem like an affordable and easy option at first, it won’t be as durable or long–lasting as a tile backsplash installed by a professional. To ensure that your results are high–quality and long–lasting, it’s best to leave the project to someone with experience installing a backsplash.

If you are interested in updating your kitchen or bathroom with a backsplash, hire a professional to take on the job. A professional has the training, knowledge, and tools to navigate installation projects of all shapes and sizes. Though DIY may seem simpler and cheaper, it can cost you more money and time in the long run if done incorrectly. Hiring a professional gives you the peace of mind that your new backsplash will look pristine in your space for years to come.

At Footprints Floors, our master contractors have experience installing all types of wall tile and backsplash. We pay attention to every detail for a result that will stand the test of time. Contact us today to get started!

What Our Customers Say

Very professional. Nice work and was given directions how to care for the backsplash. Will be using them again to tile our hall bathroom.
Cindy Golger 08/28/25 — google
Chuck answered every question I had thoroughly (and I asked a lot!). Kyle and Carlo did tremendous work. They were professional polite, and a delight when they installed our floor.
Steven Shamrock 07/23/25 — google
I was really happy with Footprints! They installed ceramic tile in two different rooms for me. Turned out to be pretty much perfect. Both look beautiful. Kyle was our installer; his expertise was apparent and his suggestions helpful. The owner Chuck was really professional and responsive, he answered all my questions and scheduling was really easy.
Krista Appelquist 06/26/25 — google
Worked with them for a kitchen backsplash project, and was very happy with all aspects. Chuck was very proactive throughout the project, and his installers were always pleasant and friendly…..very easy to work with. They came 3 separate times, one day to repair the drywall, another to install the tile, and the third day to grout. Each time they finished they did a thorough clean of the kitchen, which was really appreciated. I would definitely use Footprints again.
John Burjek 05/7/25 — google
Excellent service - Chuck went above and beyond to ensure we were taken care of. Highly recommend!
Zach Frazier 05/6/25 — google
Very helpful in the original design process. We did our project in 2 steps, old floor removal & vinyl floor installation. In was very easy to work together and excellent knowledge of all aspects of our project.
Al Schuler 03/26/25 — google
They did absolutely great job, rushing nothing. This room had carpeting on it for 20 years, the floors were stained and in really in bad condition, I am amazed how well it came out, The tech Alex was amazing as was the owner. I have had my floors redone and wish that I knew about this company, I can see the difference in the company that you choose. Extremely professional. I would use them again and will recommend them to anyone who needs their services. Susan Garza

We selected Footprints based on the published reviews. We were not disappointed. Chuck Williams, the businesses owner, was very responsive and very knowledgeable. He made the necessary trips to inspect the project space and advise us on the proper layout of our hardwood floor given the peculiarities of our home's subfloor construction. As an engineer, I found I could trust his judgment and experience. He was also accommodating of our schedule - we did two rooms but couldn't do them at the same time. Unlike other contractors he did not charge a premium for sending his crew out a second time. The proposal and quote were very detailed with everything spelled out, no surprises. The installer did an excellent job and was very professional, cleaned up everything very well. A real plus for us was the inclusion in the quote of pick up and delivery of the flooring from the supplier. They removed all of the existing carpeting, padding, etc, eliminated all the squeaks, and thoroughly dealt with the cat urine/odor that had permeated part of one room. Was it perfect? Almost. We found (only) one spot where a wall was dinged during installation. They do not promise that there will be no such occurrences, but since we were planning to paint the walls after the installation, we did not mention this one small hiccup. We will use Footprints Floors again without hesitation. Chuck was a pleasure to work with.

Chuck is absolutely wonderful and I would highly recommend using him. I purchased an old home to renovate and ran into a lot of contractor issues Chuck was the person who continued to show up every time. He was extremely professional and dedicated to helping me make sure my floors turned out perfect. He put in a lot of person care to ensure everything turned out exceptionally.

I would certainly recommend Footprints to everyone. Chuck and his team were the best. Floors were done in a timely manner and the finished product is amazing.

Chuck is personable and he did an amazing job on our floors as well as going out of his way to make sure I was happy

I am happy to share my review on Footprints Floors. This week I had some hardwood repair under my dishwasher that had leaked. A few boards had to be replaced and I met with Chuck to discuss the project. Chuck is very knowledgeable and came by to assess the extent of damage after I moved the old dishwasher. He worked hard to match the hardwood as best he could. The floors are 25 years old but you can see the nice job he did in the attached picture. In addition he touched up a spot that had a cracked hardwood board and you can't even see the repair!! Kyle came out to do the actual job and he was thorough and really cleaned up after he was gone. I plan on having Chuck and his team replace my laundry room floors and 2 upstairs bathroom floors in 2025 with porcelain hardwood tile and expect that the craftsmanship I see on this small project will be shown once again. They really take pride in their work and it shows. I highly recommend this company to all those who want to know that their floors will be done correctly, look great and will last for years to come.
Sharon Peete 09/20/24 — google
Chuck and his team did a superb job with repairs to an old floor with many missing and damaged boards and did a great job with the refininshing where there was a lot of stains. They were responsive, on time, on budget and very conscientious and it was clear they wanted it to look great at a competiitive price. I highly recommend them and would hire them again!
Brad Tocher 09/19/24 — google

Chuck was very thorough with explaining the whole process and his team did a great job of refinishing our wood floor.
Kelly Karns 07/23/24 — google
Chuck knew exactly what to do for my damaged hardwood floors.He was, above all, professional, knowledgeable, and made my options easy to choose with very low costs! I will definitely use Footprints Floor again as well as highly recommend them to all my friends and colleagues..
Rosalyn Haley 06/21/24 — google
We are thrilled with our relationship with Footprints Floors. Both Chuck William the ower, and Kyle, his installer, have exceeded our expectations. We started with a small project to replace our master bath floor due to a toilet leak. The leak was missed by the original installer who did a new shower and floor and returned to address the leak with a new wax ring. Thanks to Chuck and Kyle they discovered a faulty sewer flange which was repaired by Stephen's Plumbing. Both agreed, if missed, we could have been looking at a new floor and posible family room ceiling. Happy with the initial project we gave Footprints new issues to solve: a leaking hall bath shower and defective broken tiles in our family room and kitchen, with no spare tiles. Chuck did the caulking and grouting to seal the hall bath leaks, and cleaned the harvested tile, and Kyle laid the new foyer flooring while harvestimg the extra tiles for the repairs. The results are outstanding. We had initially contacted another vendor for the project who ghosted us (possible the job was to small for their taste). Our win!
John Wray 06/18/24 — google
Professional quality service at a good price! Chuck and team believe in customer service and making sure you get what you paid for. Thanks again team!

Your Backsplash Installation in Downers Grove / Bolingbrook Today


These days DIY projects are very popular, and of course we understand why. It may sound fun to get our hands dirty, take on a new project, learn something new and be responsible for the end result. When it comes to wall tiles and backsplash installation, however, we recommend working with professionals.

When approaching wall tiles and backsplash installations, many first timers choose an affordable and easy stick and peel option. These are not ideal. Their lasting power is limited and although they seem approachable, they will not provide the same impact or protection that a true wall tile is designed to accomplish. If you truly want your wall tile or backsplash to be a statement piece you need the end result to be impeccable. The design, the lines, and all the edges need to align just right. At Footprints Floors our master craftsmen expertly install any wall tile and backsplash while paying attention to every detail for a stunning look that lasts.

If you are tempted to approach the project yourself because of concerns regarding the cost of installation, keep in mind that our prices and services are unmatched. We are an affordable option too. And let’s not forget the value of your time. With Footprints Floors you can save money, time and experience a stress free project.
