Add a Subway Tile Backsplash
- Pro cost: $500 to $1,000
Jonathan Faccone, a real estate developer and investor at Halo Homebuyers, recommends adding a ceramic or glass subway tile backsplash to update the whole look of your kitchen.
“I love this option because it’s very cost-effective, it’s an easy design pattern to execute — which makes it less labor-intensive — and buyers always love the fresh designer look of subway tile,” he said. “Big-box stores sell a variety of ceramic and glass backsplashes for around $3 to $5 a square foot, so you’ll likely only spend $200 to $300 on materials.”
However, getting this job done professionally can bring the cost of this project up to $1,000, he said.
