        "text": "**Direct answer:** Start by confirming the backsplash area, tile format, outlet locations, edge details, and whether the wall needs repair. A consultation with Elite Remodeling & Design can coordinate these choices with a broader kitchen remodel when cabinets, counters, lighting, or plumbing are changing.\n\n**Context:** Backsplash work is more than attaching tile. Existing adhesive, uneven drywall, countertop gaps, and outlet placement can affect the finished result.\n\n**Key factors:**\n- Measure each wall separately and account for windows, corners, and openings.\n- Decide whether the backsplash ends at cabinet edges or continues to a visual stopping point.\n- Reserve extra material for cuts, breakage, and future repairs.\n\n**Practical guidance:** Photograph the kitchen, note countertop and cabinet dimensions, and identify appliances that will remain. Ask for a written scope covering wall preparation, tile, grout, trim, outlet treatment, sealing, cleanup, and exclusions.\n\n**Soft positioning:** Elite Remodeling & Design can incorporate backsplash decisions into its design-and-construction planning for San Diego County homes.",
