Preparing to Install
Before the installation gets underway, the old countertops have to be removed in order for the new ones to have a place to sit. In most cases, your installation team can handle the removal. Since it’s a big job, it’s best to leave this part to the pros.
The team will also disconnect wiring and plumbing so it’s not damaged or disrupted during the installation process.
If you’re wondering how to make this step go more smoothly, you can always clear a path from the door to the installation area and make sure that children and pets stay out of the way.
The Time Frame
We don’t blame you for wanting your installation done quickly. After all, the prospect of getting a new countertop is exciting! But countertop installation is a job that should not be rushed.
It’s hard to pin down an exact time frame when it comes to installation because every job is different, thanks to a number of variables. The timing of your installation depends on the following:
– countertop materials
– kitchen shape
– kitchen size
– countertop design
– accessibility to installation room
– the difficulty level of removing the old countertop
The Installation
This stage of the process is pretty straightforward. The slab is cut before it arrives at your home, and any cutouts needed for sinks, cooktops, or custom edges are also made beforehand. When the countertop slab arrives on site, the team will
– place the new countertop slab on the bare counters,
– level the new slabs and ensure that they are placed securely, then
– join the seams with epoxy.
