Clear existing countertops, ensure farm/apron sinks are already installed, have all accessories (sinks, faucets, etc.) on-site, confirm the height of the countertop backsplash if applicable, verify the cutout locations (outlet, sink, etc.) and ensure supports are installed.

We’ll schedule your countertop measurement after receiving confirmation that your cabinetry installation is complete.

Clear base cabinets and countertops, ensure accessories (sinks, faucets, etc.) are on-site, and make a clear path to the area where installation will take place.

Because maintenance varies by material, refer to the manufacturer’s maintenance guide and warranty for details.
