allow us to answer your questions

Are my cabinets able to support the weight of new countertops & do they have to be level?
The majority of cabinets can easily handle the weight of new counters. Cabinets must be within an 1/8″ level before we can install your countertops. Even if your current countertops are level there is a possibilty that the cabinets underneath are not. We will not be able to asses the shape of existing cabinets until a tear out is performed. If it is deemed that the cabinets are not able to support the additional weight or are not level it is the customers responsibility to have that corrected.
Can my new granite countertops chip?
Granite has a natural rigidity and durability that makes chipping nearly impossible unless there are unusual circumstances such as the impact of a hammer. In the event of an accident, a chip can be filled with a granite dust and epoxy mixture. If you save the pieces we can also use them to fix your countertop.
Do I have to have all my appliances on site at template?
We require all sinks to be on site at template and all model numbers to be provided for all other appliances. We will also need to know how many faucet holes you would like to have drilled at that time. All appliances need to be on site the day of installation.

CAN I CUT ON MY STONE COUNTERTOPS?

Only if you want to ruin your good knives. Most stone, like granite, is harder than your knife blades and will dull them very quickly. We recommend that you always cut and chop on a wooden or plastic cutting board. You can cut on granite countertops without ruining your counterops.
