How long does a typical bathroom remodel take?

Most bathroom tile work takes 5-10 days depending on size and complexity. Full remodels with demo, waterproofing, and multiple surfaces can take 2-3 weeks. We provide a detailed timeline before starting.

Do you supply the tile and stone materials?

We can source materials for you or work with what you've already purchased. We have relationships with local stone yards and can often get better pricing on premium materials like Calcutta marble.

What's your service area?

We serve all of Monmouth and Ocean County — from Red Bank and Long Branch down to Barnegat and Long Beach Island. Based in the Manasquan and Toms River area. Contact us with your project details and we'll schedule a free consultation.

Do you handle waterproofing?

Absolutely. Proper waterproofing is non-negotiable for any shower or wet area. We use Schluter, Laticrete, and RedGard systems depending on the application.

Can you work with materials I've already bought?

Yes. We'll inspect the materials, confirm they're appropriate for your application, and flag any concerns before installation begins.

Our Services

Backsplash Installation

Kitchen and bathroom backsplash that elevates the entire room — herringbone, chevron, mosaic, and custom patterns executed with precision.

JL Tile & Stone installs kitchen and bathroom backsplashes throughout Monmouth and Ocean County. A backsplash is one of the most visible surfaces in your home, and the quality of installation makes the difference between a DIY look and a designer finish. We specialize in complex patterns including herringbone, chevron, basket weave, and custom mosaic designs. Our backsplash installations include precise outlet and switch plate cuts, clean edges at countertop transitions, and properly matched grout lines. We work with subway tile, natural stone, glass mosaic, cement tile, and large-format porcelain. Every backsplash project begins with a detailed layout plan to ensure pattern symmetry and minimize awkward cuts. JL Tile & Stone brings the same level of precision to a kitchen backsplash as we do to a full bathroom remodel.

Why Choose JL Tile & Stone for Backsplash

Pattern Precision

Complex patterns like herringbone and chevron require exact layout planning. We laser-level every line to ensure perfect symmetry.

Clean Outlet Cuts

Outlet and switch plate cuts are where most backsplash jobs look amateur. We use diamond-bit drilling for perfect rectangles every time.

Countertop Integration

The transition between countertop and backsplash must be seamless. We use color-matched caulk and precise spacing for a professional finish.

Next-Day Completion

Most kitchen backsplash installations are completed in 1-2 days, minimizing disruption to your kitchen.

Backsplash FAQ

How long does a backsplash installation take?

Most kitchen backsplashes are completed in 1-2 days. Complex patterns with natural stone or custom mosaics may take 2-3 days. Grouting is typically done the following day.

Should I get a backsplash before or after countertops?

Countertops should be installed first. The backsplash sits on top of the countertop surface, and we need the exact countertop height and profile to ensure a clean transition.

What backsplash material is easiest to clean?

Glazed ceramic and porcelain tiles are the easiest to clean — grease and stains wipe right off. Natural stone requires sealing but offers unmatched visual depth. We recommend porcelain for busy kitchens.
