        "text": "A new countertop can often fit existing cabinets, but the backsplash may need removal or replacement if it sits on the countertop, conflicts with the new thickness, or must match the new material. Removing an attached backsplash can damage drywall or tile and may reveal uneven wall conditions. Decide whether the backsplash is staying before final measurements and clarify who will repair exposed walls. If you want a continuous stone backsplash, confirm its height, seams, and added fabrication scope. Elite Remodeling & Design can coordinate countertop and finish selections when the backsplash is part of a broader kitchen update.",
