removing granite backsplash

Article Number: 325 | Rating: Unrated | Last Updated: Tue, Aug 14, 2007 at 12:00 AM

We recently purchased a new home but the builder installed a granite slab backsplash. Is it possible to tear that out and replace it with tile without replacing or damaging the granite countertops? Can I tackle this job myself, or should I leave this to the professionals?

Dear Ron:

" Is it possible to tear that out and replace it with tile without replacing or damaging the granite countertops?"

Without seeing it, I can't tell for sure; but it's always a risky proposition, though not impossible.

" Can I tackle this job myself, or should I leave this to the professionals?"

Did you really need to ask me that?... What could you reasonably expect my answer would be?... :-)

May I ask you now to please read and e-sign our Statement of Purpose at: http://www.marblecleaning.org/purpose.htm? :-)

Ciao and good luck,
