        "text": "Yes, proper wall preparation is crucial for a successful tile backsplash installation. The wall surface must be clean, dry, smooth, and structurally sound. Any existing wallpaper, loose paint, or significant imperfections should be removed or repaired to ensure proper adhesion. For certain tile types or wet areas, a moisture barrier might be necessary. Hometelligent Inc. includes surface inspection and basic preparation as part of our process to ensure the tile adheres correctly and lasts for years, often advising on any extensive repairs needed beforehand.",
