Wethersfield Backsplash Tear-Out & New Tile
Dated tile gone in a day: contained demo, repaired walls, and a fresh splash by week's end.
In Old Wethersfield the tile is a supporting actor — the advice is usually to keep it plain, historically plausible and out of the way so the house stays the feature. Most Wethersfield replacements follow the same arc: the old 4x4s or early-2000s mosaic come off, the wall underneath needs honest repair, and the new tile goes onto a surface better than the original. We quote the repair up front — discovery mid-job is how replacements double in price elsewhere.

The replacement sequence
- Day 1: protect, demolish, repair the substrate, haul debris.
- Day 2: set the new tile.
- Day 3: grout, seal, caulk, clean, walk through.
Small baths and single runs often compress to two days. The kitchen stays usable throughout.
