Consultation Services for Granite Kitchen Countertops
The first part of any renovation project should be establishing a budget. Granite countertops, while undoubtedly worthwhile, can be expensive. Fortunately, GranitePro offers a free consultation where we can discuss your needs, measure the space, and draw up some initial plans. You will be able to choose from a wide selection of material options, including:
- Granite
- Marble
- Quartz
- Soapstone
From there, we will draw up a price estimate for your unique project and begin the templating and fabrication process.
Templating and Fabrication
We will first measure and calculate the dimensions of your stone countertop and draw up a digital template. We will work with you to create the perfect design and layout for your kitchen, and our team will then send the template to fabrication, where they will cut your granite slab using our high-precision toolset. Working with GranitePro gives you access to a completely customized product, especially envisioned for your space and needs. This includes room for appliances, faucets, sinks, and electrical outlets.
Granite Kitchen Countertop Installation
Installing granite countertops can be complex and labor-intensive. Though this can initially be intimidating, GranitePro offers a wealth of expertise with our team of professional installers, who are all employed by GranitePro and thoroughly vetted. We will make the installation process safe, simple, and quick.
Preparation
When the day arrives, our team will begin with a tearout, removing the old countertops, as well as appliances, the old plumbing system, and the backsplash. You can make this part simple for our team by turning off the water ahead of time and removing the appliances that could obstruct the installation process. Make sure the workspace is clean and clear of clutter.
Installation
Once all the preparations are complete, our team will begin the installation. They will position the new countertop on top of the cabinetry and affix them to the walls, appliances, and sink. Be aware that the adhesive may need up to 24 hours to set fully. Our team will also take special care to minimize any seams, making them as unnoticeable as possible.
Sealing the Granite
After the granite is installed and the plumbing and appliances are reconnected, the last step is to seal the stone. Since granite is a porous stone, water, and other liquids can easily damage or stain it if your counters are not properly sealed. Our team will apply a granite sealant, which will repel damaging liquids and ensure your countertops will last for years to come.
