        "text": "In most countertop replacements, the existing tile backsplash is damaged when old counters are pried away from the drywall. Countertop adhesives and caulking bond tightly to lower wall tiles, often pulling them off or chipping edges during removal. If you want to keep your backsplash, installers must carefully cut caulking and remove tops with extreme caution, though some tile damage may still occur. Many homeowners plan a new tile backsplash or match a short stone riser along the wall to ensure a clean, finished transition.",
