        "text": "It is generally recommended to install new countertops *before* the backsplash. This order ensures that the backsplash can be precisely fitted directly onto the finished countertop surface, creating a seamless and watertight seal. Installing the backsplash first can lead to gaps or misalignment if the new countertops aren't perfectly flush or if their thickness differs. This sequence also protects the new backsplash from potential damage during countertop installation. Simply Construction always follows this best practice for optimal results.",
