We verify slip resistance at edges, chemical resistance, and NSF certifications for food preparation safety.
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 begin with a site assessment to validate measurements, equipment spacing, surface conditions, and accessibility. We record utility connections, power sources, and ventilation points to prevent conflicts and satisfy local codes.
Next, we coordinate timeline scheduling. We'll provide you with a complete schedule coordinating demolition, templating, fabrication, and installation, ensuring smooth coordination with other contractors. We create precise templates, verify all structural and design specifications, before manufacturing with finished edges and precise cutouts based on your approval.
When we arrive for installation, we carefully protect the floor areas, install and align the bases, test-fit the slabs, attach them following guidelines, ensure sealed connections, and reconnect fixtures as allowed. Finally, we clean and polish, perform a detailed inspection, and walk you through proper care and warranty information.

Essential Care Tips for Lasting Beauty
Just as meticulously we use during installation, we set you up to preserve your countertops performing and appearing as good as new. Promptly wipe spills using neutral cleaning solution and a gentle cloth; steer clear of harsh cleaners that could scratch sealants and finishes. Stick to manufacturer recommendations for resealing; in frequently used kitchens, think about using daily sealing sprays for stone surfaces to boost stain resistance betwixt full seal coats. Make sure to use cutting boards to protect edges and avoid micro-chipping.
Heat protection is essential. Always use trivets for hot cookware, as heat shock might lead to surface damage. Position silicone mats near cooking areas and coffee stations. Keep grout lines and caulking in good condition-perform seasonal inspections and fix gaps to keep moisture out. 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.
