How difficult do you think removing a backsplash is? Is this something you’d do yourself or would you hire a professional to do it?

Great job. I’m honestly not sure why I always painstakingly remove the tile and then repair/replace part of the drywall. I’m doing this next time

I don’t like bonding tile to sheetrock that has paper missing or torn. Removing all of it just makes sense to me and it allows you to get a better substrate as well.

I have that same look but I decided to just remove the granite black splash and buy new tile to match the existing tile. If I had the resources I would remove it all but I will be happy extending the tile to the counter and giving the kitchen a whole new look. You make removing the backsplash really easy but if I remember the contractor did the glue in a wave so I am going to blow the area with heat and hope for the best.

I bet you can still ease the pieces off. Heat may not hurt but I doubt you’ll need it. If the drywall tearing is a concern, just use the tip of a sharp cutting knife to score the paper and it will prevent tears.

What blade did you use? Wood or grout blade?

We just use a wood blade in the multi tool, it will only do the one job, sometimes it takes more than one to do it.

Do you tape and mud the new drywall?

We don’t use joint compound at all behind tile. Thinset mortar doesn’t stick to joint compound, it’s a bond breaker. If compound is used it must be primed or painted before it can be tiled over.

What does the tool look like that you're using to cut the tile and sheetrock off with?

It’s an M-18 multi tool by Milwaukee.

Nice. But lose the music while you’re talking. Difficult to hear what you’re saying

The kitchen meets up only to interior walls. The window you see in part of the video is in a different room of the house. The angle wall is adjacent to the laundry room behind it, the L shaped kitchen meets up to a bedroom and playroom area. There isn’t an exterior wall in this kitchen.
