White subway tile remains the most popular for its clean, timeless look. Trending options include large-format porcelain tiles, zellige tiles (hand-made Moroccan), and natural stone slabs that match countertops for a seamless look.

Can I install a backsplash myself?

Yes — backsplash installation is one of the most DIY-friendly tile projects. The area is small, there's no structural concern, and many tutorials exist. Budget 1-2 days. The hardest parts are cutting around outlets and getting the first row level.

Why does kitchen backsplash installation cost different in Jacksonville than other cities?

Jacksonville's costs reflect local labor rates driven by the logistics-finance-healthcare economy, humid-subtropical climate conditions that affect materials and scheduling, and moderate permitting requirements. The balanced labor market also influences competitive pricing.
