TYPES OF COUNTERTOPS
As previously mentioned, there are a few different types of material that can be used for countertops. The most common are granite, quartz, marble, onyx, and white marble. We recommend granite and quartz.
Quartz and granite are both great products regardless of the type of interior job you are completing. If you need a bathroom vanity, backsplash, or countertop, both materials will be an excellent fit.
Both products are resistant to stains, long-lasting, and come in a variety of colors. Read on to discover more about the products and the installation process.
GRANITE COUNTERTOPS
Granite countertops are one continuous slab of stone. Because of this, we are not able to screw into the rock. Granite gets secured with glue during installation.
It is crucial when choosing between granite countertops, to look at several factors:
- Price
- Professionalism
- Quality
- Customer service
Customers should not have to sacrifice quality to receive affordable workmanship and material. There are many choices of granite available, ensuring there’s a choice that fits almost any budget.
Granite countertops do require some minor upkeep after installation. Sealing depends on the type of stone that you choose. If it does require sealing, that is an easy project that most homeowners can complete themselves.
QUARTZ COUNTERTOPS
Quartz countertops are made up of crushed stone adhered together. The manufacturing process allows for a variety of different customizable options. Prices vary, depending on factors such as the type of resin used; the percentage of quartz chips; build quality; manufacturer. It is wise to consider the degree of upkeep required when discussing quartz countertops. Quartz does not need to be sealed like natural stone countertops. We remind you that the quartz is stain resistant, not stain proof.
As one of the leading quartz countertop installers, we offer a large selection of quartz options. Our quartz closely resembles the look of natural marble and granite. We even have some that resemble white marble!
When searching for countertop fabricators we hope to set ourselves above and beyond. Our installers clean up thoroughly after each project. We treat your home or business premises like we would treat our own.
We are committed to offering discreet, courteous service, as we know the disturbance a new countertop project can create. Also, we work with you to schedule an installation time that suits your schedule.
FAQS
Many people have never had their countertops replaced. We want to share some of our expertise when preparing for a quartz or granite countertop installation. Below you will find some common questions and answers to make the process as straight-forward as possible.
CAN YOU PUT COUNTERTOPS ON OLD CABINETS?
Yes, you can put countertops on old cabinets. We recommend having the cabinets cleaned off in preparation for the installation. Many people prefer to install new cabinets with the countertop but that is your personal preference. We also recommend having the lower cabinets cleaned out. This helps us with the installation process. If you are planning on getting new appliances, it is beneficial to know the measurements before cutting the stone. If you are not sure, we can work around that as well.
DOES THE SINK GET INSTALLED BEFORE COUNTERTOPS?
The sink should be purchased before the countertop is selected. Our team of countertop fabricators in Kansas City will cut the material to fit your specific needs. This ensures we have the perfect fit when installing your sink.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO INSTALL COUNTERTOPS?
The amount of time depends directly on the size of the project. Some larger projects may take several days, some smaller in as little as one. For quartz and granite countertop installers, the job should take less time. Sometimes the material has to be shipped, slowing down the process. On average, most jobs take between 1-3 days
DO I NEED PLYWOOD UNDERNEATH MY COUNTERTOPS?
The answer to this question largely depends on the thickness of the countertop. Speak with one of our stone experts to determine if that is necessary for your project.
CAN I INSTALL GRANITE OR QUARTZ COUNTERTOPS MYSELF?
We highly recommend consulting with one of our professionals before taking on a project of this magnitude. To answer the question, it depends on the difficulty of the project. If it is a basic project and you have the manpower and knowledge, it can be accomplished. For most projects, people choose to have their countertops professionally installed. This gives certainty to the installation and promises that the countertop will last for years and years to come.
