Questions
What warranty options are available for countertops?
We provide a 1-year installation warranty. Extended material warranties may apply for engineered stone or solid surface products purchased through us.
Can I install countertops myself?
We only install countertops for remnant pieces purchased directly from us. Engineered stone and solid surface installations require authorized dealer status.
How are seam placements determined?
Seam locations depend on slab size, countertop layout, and material support requirements. We collaborate with clients to find optimal placements during the shop drawing review.
What maintenance do natural stone countertops require?
Natural stone needs periodic sealing. Clean with warm water and mild soap. Avoid acidic cleaners that can damage the sealer or etch the stone surface.
How should hot items be handled on countertops?
Avoid placing hot pots directly on any countertop material. Use trivets or cooling racks to prevent thermal shock that could damage stone or synthetic surfaces.
What preparation is needed before templating?
Cabinets must be fully installed and level. Remove all obstacles and have sinks/appliances on-site for accurate measurements and cutout placements.
