Our Installation Process Step by Step
Before beginning any cutting, we thoroughly outline your project with a clear, code-compliant plan that reduces delays and complications. We start with a site assessment to confirm measurements, equipment spacing, surface conditions, and accessibility. We document utility connections, power sources, and ventilation points to avoid issues and satisfy local codes.
Following this, we coordinate timeline coordination. We'll provide you with a detailed schedule coordinating all project phases from demolition to installation, allowing all teams to maintain their schedules. We create precise templates, validate seam placement, overhangs, and support requirements, before manufacturing with edge profiles and cutouts approved by you.
During the installation process, we shield your floors, position and balance the bases, test-fit surface pieces, attach them following guidelines, seal all seams, and restore authorized connections. As a final step, we clean and polish, conduct a thorough inspection, and guide you on maintenance procedures and warranty coverage.
Professional Countertop Restoration for Worn Surfaces
Refresh tired surfaces with our specialized refinishing service, engineered to restore beauty, durability, and hygiene avoiding a full replacement. We evaluate your countertop’s substrate, seams, and ventilation needs, then organize the area with OSHA-compliant masking and HEPA dust control. Our surface restoration process eradicates etching, stains, and micro-scratches, ensuring optimal adhesion.
We repair chips with color-stable fillers, carry out exact color matching, and apply an industrial primer followed by a thick topcoat rated for food-contact safety. Peripheries, splash zones, and sink reveals receive detailed attention for uniform sheen and protection.

Upkeep Tips for Long-Lasting Beauty
Just as meticulously we apply to installation, we equip you with knowledge to keep your countertops looking and performing in pristine condition. Promptly wipe spills by applying pH-neutral cleaner and a microfiber cloth; stay away from abrasive materials that might harm sealants and finishes. Adhere to manufacturer schedules for resealing; in frequently used kitchens, think about using daily sealing sprays for natural stone to boost stain resistance betwixt full seal coats. Utilize cutting boards to preserve edges and stop micro-chipping.
Make heat protection your top priority. 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. Call our experts for restoration work; we provide color-matched filling, restore etched areas, and ensure finishes comply with codes and warranty requirements.
