A message that works
"Hi Jen, for 30 sq ft of subway tile with outlets cut in, the price is $X. We can install Thursday."
Common mistakes
Uneven lines, no minimum charge and messy cuts around outlets.
Pricing tip
Set a minimum charge that covers travel, setup and cleanup. Small backsplashes take almost as much setup as larger ones, and the minimum protects your day.
