Kitchen backsplash installation cost in Dallas-Fort Worth depends on square footage, tile material, pattern, wall condition, outlets, cabinet/counter layout, old backsplash removal, grout, trim, and whether the backsplash is tile, slab, quartz, stone, or peel-and-stick.
For planning, many backsplash projects land in the hundreds to low thousands. Simple subway tile is usually cheaper than mosaic, marble, herringbone, or full-height quartz backsplash.

DFW local note
A backsplash can make a kitchen look updated without a full remodel. It is a strong pre-listing upgrade when cabinets and countertops are already in decent condition.
When this project is worth pricing
It is worth pricing when the kitchen feels unfinished, paint is damaged behind counters, or you want a clean upgrade before listing photos.
