Question 1

What countertop material holds up best day to day?

Accepted Answer

Quartz is the most forgiving for most households — it resists stains and doesn't need sealing — while granite and butcher block each have their own maintenance tradeoffs we'll walk you through.

Question 2

How do you make sure the new countertop actually fits?

Accepted Answer

We template your cabinets on-site after they're set, so the countertop is cut to your actual kitchen rather than a stock size.

Question 3

How long does a countertop installation take?

Accepted Answer

Templating happens first, then most installs are completed in a single day once the material is fabricated — the fabrication lead time is usually the longer part of the process.

Question 4

Can you install new countertops without a full kitchen remodel?

Accepted Answer

Yes — countertop replacement is one of the most common standalone upgrades, and it doesn't require touching your cabinets or layout.

Question 5

How much do new countertops cost?

Accepted Answer

Most homeowners spend between $1,800 and $4,500 on new countertops, with a typical 30-40 square foot kitchen averaging around $3,140 installed. Laminate runs about $20-80 per square foot, granite $40-140, and quartz $50-185, so material choice is usually what moves the price most.
