- Hey Gang! Before we started this backsplash project we realized we had never done a super in depth backsplash tutorial. So we poured everything we had into this one! Our goal for this video was to be a one stop shop for all questions and troubles you may have when tackling this yourself. Of course we can't touch on everything, so feel free to ask any questions below! If we don't get to it a member of the Pack will. We've included every tool you'll need for a job like this (Ceramic tile) and the price, so you can get a good idea of how much money and time it'll take you, you got this! Thanks so much for watching and we'll see ya in the next one
Check out this website for so many tips and tricks. If we didn't cover it in this video, this will have it

BEST Tile Backsplash installation over UA-cam. Period.
I just want to way thank you for showing it all, it's really nice to know that even a contractor with decades of experience still has situations like you had with the grout! I'm not a contractor by any stretch of the imagination, but I have been doing small scale carpentry, building, and renovating, with all the tiling, painting, and framing that entails for about 20 years and every single project has at least one of those moments.
I redid my kitchen a few years ago. I am not doing any tile in the near future. Yet i watched this entire video. Love it
Another excellent video that is timely for me. I just now ordered the Bosch laser level based on what I see in your video. I also loved the tip of how to apply a tile without clogging the joint line for grouting.
One of best DIY instructional videos ever. You guys did a great job with it, including telling us about your Grout error. Thanks
Been watching for awhile. Great channel. The father son relationship is awesome and Jordan has really improved his product knowledge and spoke well in this video. Keep up the excellent work.
Wow! That's beautiful! And thanks for showing the "oops" moments. Once more, I learned so much from you guys! Nice push-ups, too!
To the son: never take forgranted what your dad is doing for you!! Dad: I believe God has the most glorious reward for dad's who live by example like this for his children!!
Great video. Loved your father-son banter. Lots of good advice for us do-it-yourselfers.
The outtakes were hilarious! Thanks for the video guys. VERY helpful. Wish I knew about the groutlet's a few months ago, but will definitely be picking those up when we redo the bathroom and kitchen. Watched this for laundry room project.
Stud Pack is the best y'all have helped me out so much pointing me in the right direction on my Home remodel...
I’ve done a very small tile repair job in an ex boyfriend’s house years ago. I’ve also helped do a ceramic floor. My first real job is our kitchen we just remodeled. I could never afford to pay someone, so if I want it done, I’ll do it myself😂. I love that it’s a father and son team. This video will make my dream come true🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 thank you!
I've got the Bosch cross line laser that was around $170 and I ended up getting the Heupar 4 line laser with a 12 v battery. Got an extra battery and I have to say I love the Heupar laser. It's much much brighter than my Bosch, and it was $260 and had a 30 dollar coupon so it came to $230. It came with the micro adjustment mount which is an absolute game changer, and it also came with a small platform that goes from a half inch above the ground to about 6 inches. Anything above that I have the 30 dollar Johnson Tripod that takes care of the rest. I love that micro adjustment attachment so much I bought a second one so I could have it in a box with my Bosch, and I actually also got a very short tripod from Heupar that has the micro adjustments on it as well. Great video as always, thanks for the heads up on the micro adjustment attachment, I would've never bought their laser if it wasn't for that video, and it's a 4x360 laser and I haven't been disappointed at all. Got the battery model instead of the one with a screen, because I figured there's no reason to have the screen but the batteries are great. It comes with a remote, and buttons on the laser so you can turn off the various lasers to save battery life. It's just a great value. Have a great day, and thanks again!
I love the way you guys are not afraid to show your mistakes, and in this case, how to fix them. Good luck on the new house remodel/build.
Thank you! I love the grout shaping idea. ❤
I swear this video came out exactly when I needed it. I’m installing backsplash in my kitchen after it gets new cabinets
Rare evening upload! It feels weird not watching Stud Pack in the morning.
Beautiful job, as usual. Perfect technique in every respect. I've done a few backsplashes and they all turned out great. It's a fun and relatively easy project. It's reassuring to know that I used most of the methods you described. A little upfront planning leads to perfection, which you pointed out. I will definitely purchase that laser level before the next one I do. Thanks for another great video.
Learning so much watching your videos, I’m remodeling a condo.
Great presentation! Thanks for the tips and entertaining video! Doing a backsplash now! Cheers!
Thank you for such a thorough and easy to follow video!!
Lol everything is always a learning process!! Thanks for this detailed, informative video! I want to add backsplash to my kitchen. I am a DIYer and my first project was building a fireplace and built-in cabinets. This should be a piece of cake, right? Lol
Great job. Love the tile. Quick question, after the outlets were installed the outlet face plate lays flush on the flat tile. How did you deal with the bevel edge and the faceplate sitting flush on the bevel edge ?
White kitchen and bath caulk maybe
@@kennethtrousdale3372 interesting approach. Very interested to see they approach this
Great Video. I appreciate you giving us the information about the Bosch telescoping pole, and the Heupaur fine tuning mount. You actually answered my unasked questions about how to use it at all different levels. Please keep the great, informative, as well as detailed videos coming!!
f.hell .... that part when you show Faux Pa's with grouting - priceless. The majority of videos on YT show us the "honky-dory" process, where you tell us some "little" issues arise and we have to deal with them. Greetings from Polish DIYer on UK Soil who's just about to start tiling the kitchen backsplash. Cheerio my lads :-)
Such a great and perfectly thorough video y an extremely knowledgeable guy, thank you so much
Great tutorial.
Wonder why Jordan cut notches in tile. The boxes you used didn't seem to need a notch.
I encountered the same issue. It’s for the screws that hold the plate to the receptacle.
Best instructional video I've seen to date!
Thanks guys, this video was very helpful for me.
Do you want to come up to Canada and do a video on jacking up a house, then shimming between the sill plate and the foundation. Let me know ha ha.
When do you use sanded grout and when do you use unsanded grout? In all the videos I've watched about grouting no one ever really talked about that.
Depends on the spacing between tiles.
Does that Bosh laser that you used work on floors too?
If you have a big project for multiple days, I found the $100 Skil (I think) tile saw from Lowes to be quite adequate.
First time I used tile nippers I didn't know you were suppose to use leverage for the nipping and I was just squeezing down. i made a lot of tile shrapnel that first day
Great job Craftsman!
I used caulk to install a bunch of short bathroom backsplash tile as it was easy to apply and I could work in small batches. Great tips on the install guys!
Good job Stud Pack. Great tutorial. Keep it simple. Keep it real! Great for the DIYer.
Awesome video. Fun to watch and informative!
You got me on the upper cabinet dust collector😊😊
When you are doing the Texas job, you should try to use electrical strips as outlets, and attack them to the underside of the cabinets. That way you don't have to worry about electrical outlets and boxes on your tile jobs, and it gives it a more modern and sleek look. I noticed this when touring a couple more expensive and luxurious houses.
I use sended caulk at places where tile is sitting on the counter top
It makes a nice seal and hiding small variations if counters are not exactly the same hight
If you're in Texas, I have a master bathroom that could use the Stud Pack treatment!
Great video and very informative! It just let me know this is not a diy project I should attempt. I’ll just pay someone to do my install.
Hey stud pack couple things marshalltown makes that same float with a blue handle flexes better for irregular shaped tile. Also try applying adhesive to your float with a margin trowel much cleaner and as far as tooling your joints just a sponge in a circular motion when the grout first firms up is all you'll ever need. Be vary wary of any premix grouts when they set up they're very unforgiving. Beginners mix your own in small batches and babysit might take longer but a lot more forgiving
Thanks Kraig what’s your channel name I wanna check it out
So nice to have all this info about laying tile in one place. Really liked finding out about adjustable depth boxes. One question though - when did you remove the spaces? Do you wait a particular amount of time or is there some other way to determine when to remove them? Thanks.
Hi that's a good question. You can remove them pretty much anytime after completion or just before you intend to grout.
Love long vids! Jordan, feel the pain from using bare finger,
Do like using pre-mix as can just open and start to go; it still read instructions for “tips”.
Grout IS FINICKY AND ALWAYS DIFF, especially when diff types: epoxy, sanded, unsanded, acrylic (know what I mean, I hope), and knowing when and where to each type…
Cheers guys, and can’t wait to start seeing Jordan’s new house “build”
✌🏻
Another great video, very informative and entertaining thank you very much
Great job. I thought you were copying me! Everything looked so familiar.
I absolutely love y'all's videos! way better than any other youtube channel. Just keep the videos short (
Tip, for working UNDER cabinets applying thinset, get those small lil blk handled $5 trowls. They are much easier to work with for this application.
The most awesome instructional video I have seen on tiling. Thanks guys! I learned so much.
Father and son, just to say how blessed I was, I choose to comment for the first time ever!!!
Awesome job you guys are great very well explained thank you for your video
I'm impressed with how articulate Jordan is (must be a genetic trait)! Very clear and well constructed explanations.
Great job! Where you should start tiling if your kitchen has a corner whose walls are adjacent to one another?
Nice save guys
Great video As always.... now, as usual, I'm gonna do your tile project. The paint on the wall is egg shell....
Should I scratch, sand, or prime to help the thin set or adhesive stick???
Thank you 😊
That tile's on the money. 😜
Thoughts on using caulk around the countertop and other edges to prevent grout cracking due to settling, etc?
When sponge
😊wipe out the grout , use cold water /warm water to remove the Harden grout ?
34:08 clean push-ups 😎👌
Great video thanks for the info...
Would applying a sealer to the grout keep it from staining?
Prep prep prep prep. After that, tiling is easy.
The pushups at the end 😂
Excellent video!
Did you guys use a grout sealer with the SimpleGrout?
One thing I didn’t see. After all this is finished do you caulk the lines where the tile meets the countertop?
Doing the same tule in shower... same issues.. beveled sucks but looks sharp once you fix the issue. Think I'll pass on beveled next time. Ugh
Are you installing on drywall or some kind of backboard?
Did you put the link for the “groutlet”?
Great Video! Helpful tips.....
What is your opinion of epoxy grout?
Personally, I think the cut tile actually adds a nice break and wish it was visible. Maybe on a future job you can do a row of cut tiles as an intentional detail. It's subtle, but you can find it, and it breaks the monotony of the subway tiles, especially on a tall run of tile. You just need to be super consistent and careful with the cuts
Make sure to tell your viewers to stay away from the grout with the sealer already in it. Stuff sets up so fast you cannot do more that about 1 sq ft at a time. They call it high performance grout. Brutally difficult to work with. I almost ruined my kitchen tile job. I scraped grout like you did for hrs
You need to get your speed up . Shoot me an email and I’ll help you out
I'm glad you guys get along the way you guys do and thanks for the great info
What paint do you guys recommend painting the drywall before the adhesive ? I'm assuming some type of good quality primer?
Ready mixed grout 🙈
The push-ups in the B-roll 😂
very nice
Thanks for admitting ya'll F'ed up!
Before you tile, how do address a section of the wall that has bowed?
Great video and y’all look familiar From Texas Like I know y’all lol really seems weird but yea
Good to see Tuco from Breaking Bad finally earning an honest living
How do you address a wall that bowed in one place.
3:25- I think you mean the bigger the TILE (not trowel) the bigger the notch... Yes?
You didnt need notch for screw, but great work
How do you install tile on a textured wall?
Who was doing the push ups?
1:00 Boom. Right off the bat you choose affordable tile. Congratulations. People get their heart set on that expensive stuff, and I don’t think they even look at tile that’s actually affordable.
Hello sir where r u from if Canada Montreal I want to learn with u
i hate tiling. will never do it again. GREAT VIDEO AS ALWAYS!
Here's a little trick. Before spreading your mortar or tile adhesive, run some short #6-32 screws into the outlet holes. It will help you keep adhesive out of the screw holes. When you're ready to reinstall the outlets or switches, remove the screws and you'll have nice clean holes that are adhesive free.
Good point
Great tip!
Real pro dont messe up
Brilliant, thank you.
Thank you. My hubby and I are redoing our kitchen and have only tiled a small shelf before. This gave us great tips to help with the rest!
I saw the video and thought, "I won't watch the whole thing. I'll skip through and get some tips" but once it started, I was transfixed, listening to every word. Great video guys, thank you. 👍
Funny because I was thinking like you and did the exact same thing. Very interesting video
Me too. 😅
There was a ton of tips.
Hey, I just wanted to stop by and thank you so much for this video. I just tackled the backsplash in my kitchen, and I’ve never done tile work. But after a few watches of your video, it turned out great! My wife was almost in tears of happiness! You really helped me out, and I seriously appreciate it! Thanks again!!!!!
Good job buddy. Doing the same 😊
For shaping a grout line, use the back of a drill bit... Ideal for multiple radius sizes, and can never break like a popsicle stick, also way more consistent than a finger... Depending on the size of the grout line and tile types, choose the proper radius... Normal drill bit is fine, not the SDS+ stuff from hammer drills!
I’ve used the rounded end of an old toothbrush for years.👍
The end of a sharpie marker would be safer. But, using your finger is easiest, just shape it after you put it on, no need to wait until it sets up to shape. You could even use one of those caulking shapers that has a small radius on it.
question I had some grout that I mixed up and it hardened in 20 minutes I live in Arizona it was 0 percent humidity and 80 degrees inside is this indicative of undermixing or over mixing? it made grouting like near impossible!
@@SuperJWATT what kind of grout was it? Name/brand specifically?
@@undonesofficial mapei ultra color plus fa in color 47 charcoal grey. the reason I say undermixed is I bought another bag and mixed it in small batches and it worked just fine!
Stud Pack continues to remind the world: Projects on UA-cam ain't all glitz and glamour. Even for people who make tutorials. Mistakes were made. We all learn from them and do the best we can! 👊👊👊
Amen!🙏
16:38 He's a great Dad, always letting his son know that his affection toward his son is there. Jordan, you're a lucky boy.
The premixed grout was always harder to work with. Epoxy grouts are even worse. Powder grouts are more consistent to work with. The main thing ive noticed with powered grouts giving me problems turned out to be the age of the grout. How long has it been setting on a shelf in some warehouse? The mewer the better.
I also want tell people make sure to let powdered grouts slake before applying and dont clean too early or use too much water to clean. Too early can cause grout to be really porous and allow water to seep through in showers and too wet can bleach out the color of your grout.
Great videos!
I wish all contractors were as skilled and proud of their work as you two are. There are a lot of contractors that are scamming people, especially seasoned people, and doing shoddy work or leaving them with unfinished homes!!!
This is true sadly
Admitting your mistakes not only makes you a bigger man, but, earnes you greater respect. It's not just the quality of craftsmanship, or the great tips on How To, or even the fun that you two make it. But, it's the being REAL that keeps guys like us ...coming back! Another GREAT video.
Stud pack in that situation a spray bottle with room temperature water when your grouting mist your tile "face" for easy cleaning in 20 minutes
