Just to make a note i was only removing the backsplash to put new backsplash up.
Take off granite backsplash.
Any tile person will be capable of removing the backsplash.
Carefully slide the blade of your putty knife in between the seam where the granite backsplash meets the wall that it s covering.
I was very nervous at first because this was new to me but it was much easier than i thought.
Tap the handle of the putty knife with a hammer to begin separating the back splash from the wall.
Slide the blade of a stiff putty knife between the seam of the granite back splash and the wall on the open end of the back splash.
Step 5 pull the putty knife out and reinsert it at the top edge of the backsplash between the wall.
A little joint compound will repair any damage well enough for tiling.
Removing the granite backsplash since you ve already managed to remove the caulking set aside the utility knife for now and get the putty knife.
This past weekend we started on our kitchen backsplash project.
If necessary use your hammer to help tap the crowbar farther in between tile and wall.
Definitely get rid of the granite backsplash.
During this reno we also had to remove the 4 granite backsplash from the wall.
Start gently prying away the backsplash from the wall.
So today i want to share.
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.
