Our Step-by-Step Installation Process
Prior to making any cuts, we thoroughly outline your project with a clear, code-compliant plan that minimizes disruptions and unexpected issues. We begin with a location evaluation to verify measurements, equipment spacing, surface conditions, and accessibility. We map plumbing, electrical, and vent locations to avoid issues and satisfy local codes.
Next, we manage timeline scheduling. We'll provide you with a comprehensive schedule coordinating the entire process from start to finish, ensuring smooth coordination with other contractors. We template with precision, verify critical installation elements, before manufacturing with customized edges and openings based on your approval.
During the installation process, we carefully protect the floor areas, install and align the bases, preliminarily place countertop sections, secure them according to specifications, seal all seams, and reconnect fixtures as allowed. Finally, we clean and polish, carefully inspect everything, and walk you through proper care and warranty information.

Care and Maintenance Tips for Long-Lasting Beauty
Using the same precision we apply to installation, we equip you with knowledge to preserve your countertops functioning and looking like day one. Promptly wipe spills by applying pH-neutral cleaner and a soft cloth; avoid abrasive materials that can damage sealants and finishes. Adhere to manufacturer guidelines for resealing; in high-use kitchens, think about using daily sealing sprays for natural stone to boost stain resistance betwixt full seal coats. Always use cutting boards to preserve edges and stop micro-chipping.
Prioritize protecting surfaces from heat. Never set hot items directly on surfaces, as heat shock might lead to surface damage. Position silicone mats near cooking areas and coffee stations. Ensure grout and caulk seals remain solid-inspect every three months and repair separations to maintain water protection. When repairs are needed, reach out to us; we provide color-matched filling, restore etched areas, and ensure finishes comply with codes and warranty requirements.
