Long punch lists and projects with no fixed scope. Billed by the hour, so the total depends on how long it runs.
What the lower end buys
Subway tile over a flat, clean kitchen wall with a couple of outlets to cut around. Layout snapped, tile set, spacers pulled, grouted and sealed, with the counter covered the whole time and a caulk line where tile meets stone.
What the higher end buys
Natural stone, glass mosaic or a herringbone layout runs to the top, since each of those needs slower cutting and much more of it. Demo of an old backsplash, plus a window return or a range wall carried up to the ceiling, adds both surface and edges.

Biggest price driver
Tile type sets the labor. Subway cuts fast and forgives a little wobble. Mosaic sheets get trimmed piece by piece around outlets, and natural stone wants a wet saw, careful handling and a sealer coat before grout, or the grout stains the face of it.
How to keep your backsplash installation cost down
Choose a plain ceramic in a running bond over mosaic or stone, and stop the tile at the underside of the cabinets. Empty the counters, pull the small appliances out, and have the tile on site with ten percent extra.
