Scottsdale Backsplash & Tile Wall Design | Since 2000
A backsplash is a small part of a room. But it changes how the whole room feels. At Unique Contractor Co LLC, we have designed and installed backsplash and wall tile for Scottsdale homeowners and surrounding areas since 2000. We know what holds up in a desert climate, what fits Scottsdale’s style, and how to plan a wall that still looks sharp ten years from now.
If you want a kitchen or bathroom wall that looks custom, protects your home, and feels like you, you are in the right place. This page walks you through how we plan, design, and install backsplash and wall tile across Scottsdale.
What Scottsdale Homeowners Say About Our Work
Your Wall, Your Style
We start every project with a short design conversation. We look at your cabinets, countertops, and floors, then talk through tile options that match your home’s color and style.
Tile is not just for the wall behind your stove. We design and install tile walls in kitchens, bathrooms, shower niches, powder rooms, and fireplace surrounds throughout Scottsdale, including Old Town Scottsdale, North Scottsdale, McCormick Ranch, DC Ranch, Silverleaf, and Grayhawk.
Popular Backsplash & Tile Wall Styles
Scottsdale homeowners choose from a wide range of looks. Here are the styles we install most often.
Classic Subway Tile
Subway tile is simple, clean, and timeless. It works in almost any kitchen style, from traditional to modern, and it is easy to keep clean.
Mosaic and Accent Tile
Mosaic tile adds color and texture without covering a whole wall. It works well behind a stove, inside a shower niche, or as a border around a plainer field tile.
Natural Stone Backsplashes
Travertine, marble, and granite bring warmth and texture that fits Scottsdale's desert style. Each piece has natural variation, so no two stone backsplashes look exactly alike.
Large Format and Modern Textured Tile
Bigger tiles mean fewer grout lines and a cleaner, more open look. Textured and fluted tile add depth to a feature wall without using bold color.
Trend Forward Materials
Zellige tile, terrazzo, and warm terracotta are showing up in more Scottsdale kitchens and bathrooms this year. If you want a current, design forward look, we can help you use these materials in a way that still feels timeless.
Our Backsplash & Wall Tile Design Process
Step 1
A Free In-Home Design Visit
We come to your home, measure your walls, and look at your cabinets, counters, and lighting. We talk about how you use the space and what you want it to look like. This visit is free, and there is no pressure to book anything on the spot.
Step 2
Tile, Layout, and Pattern Planning
We bring samples so you can see real tile in your own lighting. We help you choose the material, color, grout line width, and layout pattern. You will know exactly what your wall will look like before any tile is cut.
Step 3
Wall Prep and Waterproofing
Old tile, uneven drywall, and old adhesive all get removed or repaired first. In wet areas, we install a proper moisture barrier so water never reaches your studs or drywall. This step is where most cheap tile jobs fail later, and it is not one we skip.
Step 4
Precise Installation
Our crew cuts around outlets, corners, and vents so every edge stays clean. We check each row for level before it sets. Small gaps and crooked lines almost always come from rushed work, not bad tile.
Step 5
Grout, Sealing, and Walkthrough
Once the tile is set, we grout, clean, and seal where needed. Then we walk the finished wall with you, room by room, so you can check every joint and corner before we call the job done.

Why a New Backsplash or Wall Tile Is Worth It
A backsplash does real work in your home, not just decoration. Here is what it gives you.
- Protection from water, grease, and steam behind your stove and sink
- A wall that wipes clean in seconds instead of one that stains and holds odors
- A finished look that ties your cabinets, counters, and floor together
- Added resale value, since kitchens and bathrooms sell homes in Scottsdale
- A space that finally feels finished, not like a room you are still planning to fix
