Riverside Custom Countertops works as Riverside County's top-rated team in full-height slab backsplashes, specializing in range wall slabs, counter-to-cabinet stone panels, and outlet cutouts templated on site. We offer quartz backsplashes matched to the counters and natural quartzite wall slabs.
Our team provides digital laser templating of the wall, delivering grout-free walls for homes and wipe-clean stone surfaces for both residential and commercial projects. Backed by 12 years in business and our 1-year workmanship warranty on seams, fit and sink mounting, we've completed over 1,870 projects, from a short coffee bar wall to a full wall behind a 48 in. range.
From pot filler and outlet cutouts to the scribe line along the hood, our team handles every detail. Serving Riverside and neighboring Eastvale, Villa Park and Yorba Linda, we cut each wall slab so the veins rise cleanly from the counter to the hood.
Schedule a free estimate, and we will template your outlets, switches and hood line on the wall itself.
What you can hold us to
Helen, hillside custom estates, Villa Park
Large range wall with a pot filler and two outlets
Investment and duration figures are estimates. Your written quote sets the final price and schedule.
Helen's home sits among the hillside custom estates of Villa Park, and her kitchen had a large range wall with a pot filler and two outlets. She wanted Calacatta Gold marble-look quartz on the full wall behind a 48 in. range, with no seam behind the cooktop. We templated the pot filler and both outlets on site and planned the layout so one vein crosses the whole wall. The result is a single-slab wall with no seam behind the range, an estimated $2,300 to $2,950 job that took an estimated 1 to 2 days on site.

| Backsplash job | Est. investment | Est. duration on site |
|---|---|---|
| Full-height slab backsplash (counter to cabinets or hood) | Est. $600 to $3,000 per backsplash | Est. 1 to 2 days |
| Kitchen countertop replacement (30 to 45 sq ft), booked with the wall | Est. $2,100 to $4,800 per kitchen | Est. 1 to 2 days |
| Old countertop tear-out and haul-away | Est. $150 to $500 per project | Est. 2 to 5 hours |
Most backsplash customers book the wall with new counters, so the wall slab comes from the same lot and the veins line up at the joint.
A full-height slab backsplash in Riverside is estimated at roughly $600 to $3,000 per backsplash installed, and the wall area, the stone and the number of outlet cutouts move the price most. Marcus's range wall in Eastvale, quartz matching the counters from the counter to the hood, was an estimated $1,900 to $2,700 job. A full wall like Helen's, behind a 48 in. range with a pot filler, sits higher in the range at an estimated $2,300 to $2,950. Matching quartz typically runs $65 to $145 per sq ft installed, and natural quartzite typically runs $85 to $185 per sq ft.
| Wall stone | Est. installed price | Grout lines | Behind the range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engineered quartz | Est. $65 to $145 per sq ft | None, one slab | Keep a gap at the burners, resin dislikes direct heat |
| Natural quartzite | Est. $85 to $185 per sq ft | None, one slab | Takes cooking heat well, sealed at install |
| Marble | Est. $80 to $195 per sq ft | None, one slab | Etches with splashes of citrus and sauce |
| Porcelain slab | Est. $55 to $120 per sq ft | None, thin and light | Handles heat, light enough for tall walls |
All backsplash numbers here are estimates for Riverside walls and can change. Your written quote after the laser template sets the final price and the install schedule, and it depends on the wall area, the slab you choose and how many outlets, switches and pot fillers we cut around.
A slab backsplash is one or two pieces of stone with no grout, while tile is dozens of pieces held by grout lines that stain behind a busy range. Marcus in Eastvale came to us with a tile backsplash and grease-stained grout behind the range, and one slab from the counter to the hood gave him a wipe-clean range wall with no grout lines. Tile still suits a budget wall away from the cooktop, but in Corona and Chino Hills kitchens we see a slab win wherever grease and steam hit the range wall. The table below compares the two walls we are asked about most against a standard 4-inch riser.
| Wall option | Coverage | Cleaning | When it fits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full-height slab backsplash | Counter to the upper cabinets or hood | Wipe-clean, no grout | Range walls and statement kitchens |
| Standard 4-inch stone riser | A short strip above the counter | Easy, but the wall above stays bare | Rentals and simple refreshes |
| Tile backsplash | Counter to cabinets | Grout lines collect grease | Walls away from the cooktop |
Outlets and switches are cut into the slab on site to the laser template, and adding or moving a backsplash outlet needs an electrical permit under the California Electrical Code, so any outlet change is planned before we template. Behind the range, the slab typically runs up to the bottom of the hood, and on an open hood wall we carry it to the ceiling or to the hood duct cover. On a Woodcrest or Temescal Valley range wall, our installers lift each panel with suction cups, set it on the counter, then adhere and shim it plumb, because a heavy panel that slips can crack along an outlet cutout. Pot fillers like Helen's in Villa Park are templated where the plumbing already exits the wall, which keeps the job cosmetic.
Our owner still walks the slab yard with backsplash customers and picks the part of the slab that carries the best vein onto the wall. Anywhere inside our 35-mile service radius, the estimator who lasers your wall also marks every outlet and switch plate, so nothing is cut by eye on install day. Every slab wall carries our 1-year workmanship warranty on seams, fit and sink mounting.
Most slab walls match the counters, so customers choose from quartz countertop and backsplash slabs, quartzite and exotic stone walls or marble slab installation for a soft, veined range wall.
We install slab walls from Canyon Crest and the Wood Streets to Eastvale kitchens, Villa Park estate homes, Yorba Linda remodels and Norco ranch kitchens. Corona, Woodcrest, Chino Hills and Temescal Valley are listed with every other city on our areas we serve page.
A slab wall pairs naturally with countertop replacement and upgrades on the perimeter runs, and many homeowners finish the room with custom kitchen island countertops or waterfall edge countertops cut from the same slab lot.
A slab backsplash is estimated at roughly $600 to $3,000 per backsplash installed, and your written quote sets the final price after the laser template.
Most slab walls take an estimated 1 to 2 days on site, typically 1 to 3 weeks after the laser template.
For a range wall, yes: a slab has no grout to stain, which is why Marcus in Eastvale swapped grease-stained tile for one quartz slab.
We template every outlet and switch on site and cut the slab around them; adding or moving an outlet needs an electrical permit in California.
Most range walls, from Norco ranch kitchens to Eagle Glen tract homes, run the slab up to the bottom of the hood, and an open hood wall can run to the ceiling.
Yes, when the same stone is still available, though a slab from the same lot as new counters gives the closest vein match.
Yes, we template the pot filler where it exits the wall, as we did on Helen's 48 in. range wall in Villa Park.
