Quartz, granite, and butcher block countertop installation for kitchens and baths. Templating happens after your cabinets are set. Book a free consultation.
Countertop installation is part of our kitchen remodeling and bathroom remodeling services. Kitchen work includes quartz, granite, and butcher block countertops. Bathroom work includes quartz countertops.
Each install starts with the cabinets. Templating happens after the cabinets are set, so measurements match the real layout. The old top comes out before the new one goes in. You can book a free consultation before any work begins.
Quartz is an engineered surface that is non-porous. It resists stains and generally does not need sealing.
Granite is natural stone, so each slab varies. It often needs sealing. Sealing slows staining but does not stop it.
Butcher block is wood, so moisture near the sink needs attention. Its finish should be checked and maintained regularly.
Sink and cooktop openings are marked after templating. Cutouts are sized to the sink and cooktop you have.

We set the top and fit the seams. Sealing applies to granite and butcher block. Then the sink and plumbing reconnect.
Seams can look fine on install day and open up later. A common sign is a hairline gap near the sink. Heat, moisture, and an unsupported seam can all cause it. Good installation starts with the cabinets. Base cabinets must sit level, so the top does not rest on a high spot. Seam placement is planned during templating, away from the sink and cooktop where possible. Our kitchen remodeling services cover the cabinet and top work in more detail. Natural stone reference material is available from the Natural Stone Institute.
The right material depends on your layout and how you cook and clean. Quartz is non-porous, so it resists stains. Granite is natural stone and needs sealing. Butcher block adds warmth but needs more upkeep near the sink. Templating after the cabinets are set gives exact measurements for any material. You can see how bathroom countertops fit in our bathroom remodeling services.
Answers to common questions about countertop installation. Call +1-213-399-3914 with any other questions.
Quartz is an engineered surface made from ground stone and resin. It is non-porous, so it resists stains and generally does not need sealing. Granite is natural stone, and each slab has its own color and veining. It often needs sealing to resist stains. Both materials suit kitchens and bathrooms. Your choice depends on look, cooking habits, and how much care you want to give. Quartz suits busy households that want low upkeep. Granite suits buyers who want natural variation in every slab. We can talk through options with you during the free consultation.
Install time depends on the size of the job. Templating must wait until your cabinets are set. Old tops, sink reconnection, and plumbing work add steps. Each step in countertop installation must finish before the next one can start. Your new top goes in after the base is level. Fabrication happens after templating, so the timeline has a few stages. We will confirm the timeline for your specific project during the free consultation. Bring your cabinet and sink details so we can plan the schedule. Plumbing changes can extend the schedule, so ask about them early.
Yes, removing the old top is part of the installation. We disconnect the sink and plumbing first. Then we remove the old top carefully. Cabinet boxes get checked once the top is off. Any damage found underneath is shown to you before we continue. Your new top goes in after the base is level and firm. Ask about your old top during the free consultation. We can explain what removal includes for your kitchen or bath. Any mounting clips and old caulk are cleared away before the new top sets. We will tell you what to expect before work starts.
It depends on the sink type and how it was mounted. Undermount sinks need a clean, flat surface to bond against. We check the sink and cutout before the top goes in. If the sink is cracked or the mounting clips are worn, we will tell you. Drop-in sinks sit on the top edge, so the cutout is handled differently. Faucet holes and sprayer ports must line up with the sink. Bring your sink model to the free consultation so we can check it. We can help you choose a sink that fits your plan.
Seams are placed where they blend with the layout. We plan seam locations during templating, away from the sink and cooktop where possible. Edge profiles and matched color help the joint blend in. Quartz seams are often easier to hide because the surface is uniform. Granite shows more natural variation. Ask about seam layout during the free consultation. Long runs may need a seam, so we plan it early. Cutouts for the sink and cooktop also shape where the joint falls. Your cabinet layout and appliance sizes also affect the final seam position.
Many granite slabs need sealing to resist stains. A sealer slows staining by filling tiny pores in the stone. Sealing does not make granite stain-proof, so spills still need wiping. Quartz is non-porous and generally does not need sealing. Each slab differs, so we check the stone type before installation. Ask us which care routine suits your slab. Re-check the seal over time and follow the sealer label. Sealer products vary, so read the label before you apply anything. Bring that question to the free consultation, so we can plan the stone choice early.
It is possible in some cases, but removal often gives the cleanest result. A second layer raises the counter height, which can change the sink and appliance fit. The base cabinets must carry the extra weight. Old tops can hide water damage or loose cabinet boxes, which need checking first. We look at the condition before recommending a path. Ask about your existing top during the free consultation. Some layouts make removal the only practical choice. We will explain both paths so you can decide with full information. Each choice affects cost and timing, so we review them together.
Yes, we install countertops in bathrooms as part of our bathroom remodeling services. Quartz countertops are part of our bathroom work. Templating happens before the top is set, so the sink and faucet openings match. Plumbing reconnects are part of the process. Ask about your vanity during the free consultation, so we can measure it.
