What you are dealing with now

When your countertops let the rest of the kitchen down

Many homeowners are happy with their cabinets and layout, but the counters always look dirty or out of place. These are the situations we see most often.

Stains, burns, or worn edges

Laminate that swells, stone that has etched rings, or chipped corners that catch your sleeve every time you walk by.

Seams and joints that never looked right

Obvious seams, lumpy caulk lines, or uneven overhangs that make the kitchen feel unfinished even after a deep clean.

New cabinets with old counters

Fresh cabinet doors and hardware paired with counters that still shout the previous style or color scheme.

Fear of damage during replacement

Worry that removing old counters will crack tile, scuff cabinets, or leave you without a sink longer than you can manage.

Our fix: Careful removal of old tops, coordination with trusted fabricators, and installation that lines up with your cabinets, backsplash, and sink cutouts so the new counters look like they were always meant to be there.

We start with how you cook, how often you host, and how much maintenance you want. Then we plan removal, templating, and installation so your cabinets, tile, and appliances stay protected and downtime is as short as possible.

Material and layout decisions

Countertop choices that change how your kitchen feels and works

We help you pick materials, edges, and details that match your cabinets, appliances, and how you actually use the kitchen.

During your consult we look at how often you cook, how careful people are with hot pans and spills, and how much contrast you want with cabinets and floors. Then we narrow the options to a few smart choices.

  • Low maintenance

    Quartz and engineered stone

    When this is best

    Best if you want a consistent look that is easy to clean and does not need sealing.

    Key details

    • Resists most stains and everyday spills
    • Wide range of patterns that mimic marble or stone
    • Great for busy kitchens that see daily use
  • Character and depth

    Natural stone

    When this is best

    Right if you like unique patterns and are comfortable with a bit more care.

    Key details

    • Granite and some marbles add movement and depth
    • Sealing and simple maintenance keep stone looking its best
    • Pairs well with simpler backsplash and cabinet choices
  • Budget friendly updates

    Laminate and compact surfaces

    When this is best

    Ideal if you want a fresh look without a full kitchen overhaul.

    Key details

    • Modern laminates can mimic stone at a lower cost
    • Works well for rentals, cottages, and light use spaces
    • Faster lead times and simpler installation in many cases
  • Finish and feel

    Edges, overhangs, and details

    When this is best

    Important when you care about how the counter feels to the touch and how it meets cabinets and walls.

    Key details

    • Edge profiles that fit your style and are easy to wipe clean
    • Overhang and corner details that work with kids and stools
    • Backsplash and end panel options that tie everything together

  • We will explain any discoveries and price differences in plain language before you decide on changes.

Quotes are fully itemized with allowances, contingency, and requested add-ons itemized for clarity. No hidden feesever.

What moves pricing

What changes the cost of replacing your countertops

We walk you through these points during your consult so you know what is driving the number and what is optional.

Material and edge profile

Quartz, stone, and complex edges generally cost more than laminate and simple profiles, but they can also change how durable and upscale the kitchen feels.

Length of runs and number of seams

Longer runs and more seams can add fabrication and installation time, especially around corners and appliances.

Cutouts and specialty details

Extra sinks, cooktop cutouts, waterfall panels, and finished ends all add time and materials to the project.

Cabinet condition and leveling

Older cabinets that are out of level or need reinforcement require extra prep so the new tops sit flat and last.

Access, condo rules, and timing

Tight stairs, elevators, restricted work hours, and rush timelines can change how we plan labor and staging.

Before you approve anything, you will see how each decision and condition affects cost, so you can choose where to invest and where to keep things simple.

Guarantees that keep countertop replacement from becoming a bigger project

You want fresh counters, not damage to cabinets or a kitchen that is out of use for weeks. Our guarantees are built around that.

Careful protection for cabinets, floors, and backsplash

We protect surfaces before tools come out and plan removal so tile, doors, and flooring stay in the same condition they started in.

Clear schedule and realistic downtime

We map out when templating, removal, and installation happen so you know which days the sink and counters will be offline.

Coordination with your fabricator and plumber

We can work with your chosen suppliers or bring in trusted partners so there are no gaps between trades.

Single point of contact for questions

You have one person to reach out to for updates, material decisions, and any concerns before or during the work.

Warranty backed installation

If something related to our installation fails under normal use, we will return to investigate and make it right.

The goal is not only a nicer looking countertop, but a smooth, predictable project that leaves your kitchen ready for daily use again.

Preparation

How to prep your kitchen for countertop replacement

These simple steps before we arrive help protect your belongings, avoid delays, and shorten the time your kitchen is offline.

  • Clear counters and empty upper cabinets above or beside countertop runs that will be replaced.
  • Remove decor, wall shelves, and loose backsplash items near the counters.
  • Share any known issues like soft spots in the counter, past leaks, or loose cabinets so we can plan ahead.
  • Confirm where crews should park, which entrance to use, and any condo or building rules.
  • Decide who will make final decisions on material, edge profile, and seam placement so questions get answered quickly.

When countertop replacement should wait

Sometimes it makes sense to pause and address other items first so your new counters have the best chance of lasting.

Cabinets that are not level or secure

What usually happens

If cabinets are shifting or significantly out of level, new tops can crack, separate at seams, or put stress on doors and drawers.
Our fix
We recommend stabilizing or upgrading cabinets first and can coordinate that work or plan counters as part of a combined cabinet and countertop project.

Active leaks or moisture issues

What usually happens

Water from plumbing leaks or poor sealing can damage new counters and the cabinets beneath them.
Our fix
We suggest repairing leaks and addressing moisture before counters are measured, so your new tops are not sitting on damp or damaged bases.

Major layout changes still undecided

What usually happens

Ordering counters before you finalize appliance moves, islands, or wall changes can lead to extra cost or pieces that no longer fit.
Our fix
We can help you lock in key layout decisions or time countertop work after cabinet or appliance changes are confirmed.

Countertop replacement questions homeowners ask most

Clear answers about timing, use of your kitchen, and how we work with different materials.

1
How long will I be without a sink and counters
In many projects, the sink and counters are out of use for one to two days while we remove old tops and set the new ones. We will give you a more precise range after we see your kitchen and material choice.
2
Can you work with a countertop I already ordered
Yes. We can coordinate with your fabricator, confirm measurements, and handle removal, prep, and installation work on site.
3
Do I need to replace my backsplash at the same time
Not always. In some cases we can keep the existing backsplash, but if you are changing thickness or overhangs, we may recommend updating tile so everything lines up cleanly.
4
What if we discover cabinet or wall issues during removal
If we find problems once the old counters are off, we will show you what we found, explain options, and price any extra work before we continue.
5
Do you warranty the new countertop
Countertop materials usually come with their own manufacturer warranty. On top of that, we provide a workmanship warranty on our installation.
