This past weekend we started on our kitchen backsplash project.
Take off granite backsplash.
Definitely get rid of the granite backsplash.
A little joint compound will repair any damage well enough for tiling.
So today i want to share.
Just to make a note i was only removing the backsplash to put new backsplash up.
Remove the granite backsplash with a heat gun shims and a hammer.
During this reno we also had to remove the 4 granite backsplash from the wall.
Step 5 pull the putty knife out and reinsert it at the top edge of the backsplash between the wall.
I was very nervous at first because this was new to me but it was much easier than i thought.
Any tile person will be capable of removing the backsplash.
It is easy it is only caulked in place and if you plan to tile the wall with anything except glass tiles any damage to drywall shouldn t be a problem.
Push the crowbar in behind one of the tiles beside the opening left by a removed tile.
If necessary use your hammer to help tap the crowbar farther in between tile and wall.
Start gently prying away the backsplash from the wall.
Carefully slide the blade of your putty knife in between the seam where the granite backsplash meets the wall that it s covering.
Tap the handle of the putty knife with a hammer to begin separating the back splash from the wall.
