Welcome back to our Tiling Like a Pro series! In Parts 1 and 2, Tony Scuderi laid the groundwork—literally—by covering tile selection, surface prep, and floor tiling techniques.

Now, it’s time to shift our focus upward to a key design feature that can transform any kitchen or bathroom: the backsplash.

While backsplashes may seem like a smaller tiling project, they pack a big visual punch and require just as much planning and precision as larger installations.

From choosing the right materials to handling tricky outlets and achieving clean lines, this part of the process is where creativity meets craftsmanship.

Today Gil Olachea will walk you through what it takes to tile a backsplash like a pro—whether you're going bold with patterned tiles or keeping it classic with subway. Let’s turn that blank wall into a stunning focal point.

We will cover the following in this podcast and will continue on May 19th with part II of backsplash installation.

• Why do I need a back-splash
