Topeka's Kitchen Backsplash Installers
Kingdom Builders Co. installs kitchen backsplashes across Topeka and Shawnee County. Owned by Ryan Felix and based at 6121 SW 22nd Park, we set subway tile, mosaic, natural stone, and large-format porcelain with the clean lines and precise cuts that make a backsplash look custom. The backsplash is where function meets design: it protects the wall behind your counters and range from grease and water, and it is the decorative accent that ties your cabinets and countertops together.
A well-chosen, well-installed tile backsplash can lift an ordinary kitchen into something that looks intentional and finished. When Topeka homeowners search for backsplash installers near me, the difference they get with us is in the details that amateurs miss, the cuts around outlets, the corners, and the alignment of the pattern across the whole run. Our 5.0-star Google rating across 31 verified reviews reflects that tile-setting precision.
"Ryan and his team did a great job on our new bathroom tile. We appreciate the attention to detail and their work ethic. It was easy to communicate with them about the project and progress. They kept the space neat and orderly throughout, and cleaned up everything when they were finished. We would recommend Kingdom Builders!"

Backsplash Materials We Install
We set every common backsplash material to match any style and budget:
Subway Tile
Ceramic subway tile backsplash is the most popular choice in Topeka, affordable, timeless, easy to clean, and at home in any style from farmhouse to modern. We install classic 3x6 as well as oversized 4x12 and 4x16 formats for a contemporary look with fewer grout lines.
Mosaic and Glass
Mosaic tiles add texture, color, and light. Glass mosaics catch natural light beautifully, and stone mosaics in marble, travertine, or slate bring organic warmth.
Natural Stone and Large-Format Porcelain
Full stone-slab backsplashes run counter-to-cabinet for a seamless, grout-free look. Large-format porcelain in marble-look or concrete-look finishes gives a sleek, modern backdrop with minimal grout lines.

(785) 329-4551How Much Does a Backsplash Cost in Topeka?
Backsplash cost depends on material, area, and pattern complexity. Here is the real range we quote in Topeka:
- Standard ceramic subway tile: $1,200 to $2,000 for a typical 30-square-foot kitchen, installed with tile, materials, labor, and grout.
- Overall range: $800 to $3,500 depending on material and design.
- Natural stone and premium mosaic: at the upper end, given material cost and the extra care they require.
Intricate patterns like herringbone or a full-height range wall add labor. We give you a clear, itemized written estimate up front and offer financing if you want to spread the cost. Request your free consultation and we will measure your kitchen and quote the exact design.
Our Backsplash Installation Process
A clean backsplash is all in the prep and the details:
- Surface prep: we make sure the wall is clean, smooth, and sound before a single tile goes up.
- Dry layout: we lay out the pattern first so full tiles land where the eye goes and cuts fall where they hide.
- Precise setting: the right thin-set or mastic for the material, with leveling clips and spacers for a dead-flat, aligned face.
- Grout and seal: once cured, we grout in your color, clean the tile faces, and seal the grout lines where the material calls for it.
- The details: clean cuts at outlets and switches, tight inside and outside corners, and a straight line where the tile meets the upper cabinets.
Backsplash goes in after counters are set so it sits flush to the surface. Pair it with our cabinet installation, countertops, and kitchen lighting for a complete kitchen.

A backsplash lives or dies at the outlets, the corners, and the line where tile meets the upper cabinets. Amateur installs leave uneven cuts around the outlets and a wavy top line, and your eye catches it every time you walk in. We dry-lay the pattern first, plan the cuts so full tiles land where they matter, use spacers and leveling clips for a dead-flat face, and set the outlet boxes out to sit flush on top of the tile. Those details are what separate a professional kitchen backsplash from a weekend project.
Backsplash Patterns and Layouts
The same tile looks completely different depending on how it is laid. The pattern is where a backsplash gets its personality, and we set them all:
- Classic offset (running bond): the traditional brick-style layout where each row shifts by half a tile, timeless and forgiving.
- Stacked (grid): tiles aligned in straight vertical and horizontal lines for a clean, modern, architectural look.
- Herringbone: tiles set at 45 degrees in a zigzag, a high-impact pattern that reads as custom and takes real skill to keep tight.
- Vertical stack: subway tile turned upright to draw the eye up and make a backsplash feel taller.
- Full-height feature wall: tile carried all the way to the ceiling behind the range or hood for a dramatic focal point.
We dry-lay your chosen pattern before setting anything so the layout is balanced, the cuts fall where they hide, and the lines stay true across the entire run.
