I saved some money by doing the entire house painting and backsplash tiling myself.   

Creative BacksplashBudget-Friendly Option: - Use peel-and-stick tiles for an easy and cost-effective backsplash

I like to add a nice tile backsplash in the kitchen and upgrade bathrooms with tile shower surrounds because I can do those myself and they add a lot of value.  

It's made by Hampton Bay and sold at Home Depot with left/right hand mitered edges and backsplash lip.

These stones can be used for a backsplash or whatever.

The Quick Recipe We Used in Our Kitchen-Light Quartz Countertops-Porcelain Mosaic Backsplash (in a complementary color)-With Dark Wood Shaker Style Cabinets (for contrast)-A Fabulous Shiny Faucet (for pop)-Color Pendants (for more Pop)-Stainless Steel Appliances-Vinyl Floors (yes, vinyl!)

The listing boasted 'NEW' Kitchen & Bath and they were blinded by the clean white kitchen cabinets/tumbled marble backsplash and new vanity in the main bath that they didn't see how cheaply it was done.

If you want to add a backsplash and change out the countertop you should definitely hire someone if you don't have the time or experience to mess around with it.
