Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers about the countertop process — then request a quote with your project details.
Can I keep my existing sink when replacing countertops?
Often yes, but it depends on the sink type and condition. Undermount sinks are removed during countertop replacement and can typically be reinstalled if they are in good condition. Drop-in sinks may or may not fit the new cutout—confirm the dimensions before committing. Farmhouse (apron-front) sinks require specific cabinet and countertop fitting and are usually part of a coordinated replacement. Let us know your sink situation when requesting a quote.
Can you repair a cracked or chipped countertop?
It depends on the damage type, material, and location. Small chips at edges can often be repaired with color-matched filler for a near-invisible result. Hairline cracks that run through the body of the stone are more complex—some can be stabilized with epoxy; others indicate that replacement is the better long-term solution. Send us photos of the damage and the material type and we will give you an honest assessment of repair versus replacement options.
Do you install countertops in condos and high-rise buildings?
Yes—many of our projects are condos. Building rules vary, so share HOA or property requirements early (insurance, elevator reservations, work hours) so we schedule correctly.
Do you work on commercial projects like restaurants and hotels?
Yes. We serve restaurants, hotels, multi-family developments, and commercial builders throughout South Florida. Commercial projects typically involve volume pricing, coordinated scheduling with GCs, and tight delivery windows. We offer wholesale pricing for builders and developers and can handle phased installation for renovations where operations cannot be fully shut down. Contact us with your project scope for a commercial quote.
Do you seal natural stone countertops after installation?
Yes. We seal granite, quartzite, and marble surfaces as part of our installation process. Natural stone should be resealed periodically after that—typically once a year for kitchen granite, and as needed for marble and quartzite depending on use. We can walk you through the resealing process or recommend products at install.
How fast can I get a countertop estimate?
If you send photos, rough measurements, the city, and the material direction you want, we can usually respond much faster than a showroom-only process. Firm pricing still depends on templating for final field conditions.
How long does countertop fabrication take after templating?
Fabrication typically takes 5–7 business days after templating for most quartz and granite projects. Complex edges, waterfall details, or large commercial jobs may take longer. We confirm your specific timeline at template and keep you updated. Rush scheduling is sometimes available depending on current shop capacity.
What countertop material is best for outdoor kitchens in South Florida?
Porcelain is the top choice for South Florida outdoor kitchens—it is UV-stable, non-porous, handles extreme heat, and resists salt air. Quartzite and granite are also strong outdoor options. Engineered quartz should be avoided outdoors because the resin binder is sensitive to UV and most manufacturer warranties exclude outdoor applications.
Should I choose quartz or granite?
Quartz is typically lower maintenance and more consistent in appearance. Granite offers natural variation and different performance traits depending on the specific stone. The right choice depends on your cooking habits, aesthetics, and how much maintenance you want.
What is the difference between quartzite and quartz?
Quartzite is a natural stone formed from metamorphosed sandstone—it comes out of the ground with unique veining and variation, and needs sealing like other natural stones. Engineered quartz is a manufactured product made from ground quartz bound with resin—it needs no sealing and offers consistent, predictable patterning. Despite the similar names, they are completely different materials with different care requirements and appearances.
Do you remove old countertops?
We can include removal and haul-away as part of a replacement scope depending on site conditions. Tell us what exists today (laminate, stone, tile buildup) so we plan safely.
Are waterfall edges more expensive than standard edges?
Waterfall details usually add fabrication and material usage because vertical drops consume slab area and require precise matching. The amount depends on island size, material, and vein alignment goals.
What edge profiles do you offer?
We fabricate all standard and custom edge profiles including eased, beveled, half-bullnose, full bullnose, ogee, dupont, waterfall mitered, and more. Standard profiles like eased and beveled are typically included in base pricing. Complex profiles—ogee, dupont, waterfall returns—involve additional shop time and are priced accordingly. Describe the edge you want when requesting a quote and we will confirm availability and pricing.
