Cutouts for cooktops, slide-in ranges and drop-in ranges, following the appliance spec sheet for fit and clearance.
The opening for a cooktop or range has to be exact. Too tight and the appliance will not drop in. Too loose and the gap looks sloppy and may let spills go where they should not. Appliance makers publish detailed spec sheets with cutout dimensions, corner radii and clearance to combustible materials, and stone is cut to those numbers. Homeowners in Nashville call us to make cutouts for gas and electric cooktops, drop-in ranges and slide-in ranges the right way.
We ask for the exact appliance model and its spec sheet before templating. We cut openings with accurate dimensions and rounded corners, since sharp corners in stone can crack from heat and stress. We plan the position so the cooktop sits clear of walls and cabinets by the required distance, and we confirm whether the model needs a support lip, a trim kit or a non-combustible backing. After installation, your appliance installer sets and connects the unit, and we check that the fit is clean.
We cut to the maker dimensions and clearances, not to guesswork, because those numbers keep the appliance safe and the fit clean.
Cutout corners are rounded to spread stress and prevent cracks, which matters near heat.
Some appliances need distance from walls and cabinets, and some need heat shields or non-combustible materials.
A gas fitter or electrician connects the appliance, and we coordinate the timing so the unit is ready when the top is set.

You tell us what you want or what your counters are doing, and we set an estimate visit that fits your day.
We look at your cabinets, layout and walls, talk through materials, edges, sinks and seams and note any prep that is needed.
You choose the material, slab and details, receive a plain written scope and approve it before anything is ordered or cut.
We template your cabinets exactly, then the countertops are cut, shaped and polished to fit, with openings made for your sink and cooktop.
We remove the old tops, set the new ones level, join the seams, seal where needed and set the sink and backsplash.
We clean up, haul away the old countertops if you asked, walk you through the finished work and explain how to care for it.
Yes. We follow the spec sheet and your installer connects the gas.
Slide-in ranges overlap the countertop slightly, while drop-in ranges sit in a cabinet cutout with a flange.
The model number and spec sheet are enough, but choose before fabrication.
Most stone handles heat, but engineered surfaces and joints can be affected, so we follow clearance rules.
