Fort Lauderdale — Broward
The kitchen backsplash is one of the most design-forward investments in a kitchen renovation — and one of the most technically demanding to install correctly. In Fort Lauderdale, we install everything from simple subway tile to continuous marble slab backsplashes that run floor to ceiling above the range hood, with the level of precision that makes the material look its best.
A full-height marble slab backsplash behind the range in a Fort Lauderdale kitchen requires material selection that accounts for the specific challenges of the space. Heat from the cooktop, steam from cooking, and cleaning products all affect natural stone differently than they affect porcelain. We specify penetrating sealers formulated for kitchen environments and recommend honed marble finishes for cooking-adjacent areas, where the polished finish shows oils and cooking splatter more visibly. For clients who love the look of white marble without the maintenance, we work extensively with Calacatta-look rectified porcelain in full-slab sizes.
The installation of a full-height backsplash in a Fort Lauderdale kitchen requires precise coordination with the cabinet installer and countertop fabricator. The backsplash must be installed after the countertop is in place, set flush with the countertop edge, and scribed to the underside of the upper cabinets. A 1/8-inch or smaller reveal at these transitions is the mark of precision installation. For backsplashes that incorporate electrical outlets, we cut the tile to fit flush around the boxes — not trimmed to the box edge with filler pieces.

"AP Stone installed a continuous Calacatta marble slab backsplash from the countertop to the ceiling behind our range — about 9 feet tall. The vein matching from the countertop into the backsplash is seamless. Best design decision we made."

"We had zellige tile installed behind the range and plain subway marble on the perimeter. The transition was handled perfectly. They cut the zellige to match the grout lines of the subway tile at the transition. Extraordinary detail work."

"Full kitchen renovation — countertop in Calacatta Gold and full-perimeter backsplash in matching honed marble. They matched the slab veining from the countertop into the backsplash. The kitchen looks like one continuous piece of stone."
