Before you hire

How to choose countertop installers

  1. 1

    See the actual slab

    Natural stone varies from slab to slab. Ask to pick or approve the slab that goes in your kitchen.

  2. 2

    Ask about seams

    Ask where the seams will fall and how visible they'll be, especially on islands and long runs.

  3. 3

    Ask what's included

    Removal of old tops, sink cutouts, edge profiles and backsplash are often priced separately.

  4. 4

    Ask about sealing

    Granite and marble need sealing. Ask if the first sealing is included and how often to redo it.

FAQ

Questions about countertop installers

How long does countertop installation take?

Stone counters usually need a template visit, then fabrication, then install day. Install itself is often a day.

Which countertop is easiest to care for?

Quartz needs no sealing and resists stains. Granite and marble need periodic sealing.

Can new countertops go on old cabinets?

Often, if the cabinets are level and sturdy. Stone is heavy, so weak cabinets may need work first.

Should I buy countertops before or after cabinets?

Cabinets go in first. Stone counters are measured from the installed cabinets.

Does it cost anything to use Job Hound?

No. Job Hound is free for homeowners, and pros never pay for leads, so there is no lead fee baked into the price you are quoted.
