Kitchen Back Splash - Tile vs Quartz or Granite?

[Debbie Zimmer]

Hi - 

We just completed our first flip and will be beginning reno on our second.  We didn't make any money on our first one due to the high, high cost of labor (we are partnering with a seasoned contractor who pays his guys well).  One of the trades that we spend a lot on was the tiler.  The kitchen back splash was the most expensive and time consuming.  Has anyone put up slabs of quartz vs tile for their back splash?  It it more cost effective?  How do buyers respond?   We are trying to get our costs down for this second one, while still keeping it as a high-end renovation.
