Questions

Countertop questions, answered plainly.

About materials, fabrication, installation, cost, timing, care and repair.

Getting started

Is the estimate really free?

Yes. The Free Estimate comes with no obligation. You approve a written scope before any slab is ordered or cut.

What areas do you serve?

Nashville and communities across Middle Tennessee, including Franklin, Brentwood, Murfreesboro, Hendersonville, Clarksville, Cookeville and more. See the service areas page for the full list.

Which materials and brands do you work with?

Granite, quartz, marble, quartzite, porcelain, solid surface, butcher block, concrete and more. We are an independent company and are not affiliated with any slab, quartz, sink or sealer maker.

Do you install cabinets or plumbing?

We focus on countertops, backsplashes and related stone work. We coordinate with your plumber, electrician and cabinet installer when a project needs them.

Materials

Which countertop material is best?

It depends on how you cook, clean and live. Granite and quartz suit many busy kitchens, marble and soapstone reward owners who like a living surface and porcelain handles heat and sun well. Our material picker can help.

What is the difference between granite and quartz?

Granite is a natural stone, so every slab is different and it needs periodic sealing. Quartz is engineered from stone and resin, so patterns are consistent and it does not need sealing in the same way.

Can I see the slab before it is cut?

Yes. We help you view slabs, choose the exact piece and plan the layout so veining and patterns fall where you want them.

Are natural stone countertops high maintenance?

Most need sealing now and then and a little care with acids. We explain what each material asks for before you choose.

Fabrication and installation

What is templating?

Templating is an exact measurement of your cabinets and walls, taken with templates or digital tools after the cabinets are set, so the countertop is cut to fit your kitchen.

How long does installation take?

Many kitchens are installed in a day once the countertops are made. Fabrication usually takes days to a couple of weeks after templating, depending on the material and schedule.

Can you cut out for my sink and cooktop?

Yes. We cut and polish openings for undermount, drop-in and farmhouse sinks and for cooktops and ranges, using the exact fixtures you choose.

Do you remove my old countertops?

Yes. We remove and haul away the old tops if you ask, and we tell you about any cabinet or wall repairs we see.

Cost and timeline

What drives the cost of countertops?

Material, slab availability, square footage, edge profile, cutouts, seams, backsplash and removal. A written estimate shows exactly where the money goes.

How do I compare countertop quotes?

Ask each company for the same material, thickness, edge, cutouts, backsplash and removal. Our bid scorecard helps you compare.

Do I need a permit or HOA approval?

Rules vary by city, county and community, and countertops rarely need a permit. We help you plan and tell you what to confirm locally.

Care and repair

How do I keep countertops looking new?

Wipe up spills, use a cleaner made for your material, use trivets and cutting boards and reseal natural stone as advised. Our care planner gives a routine for your material.

Can a chip or crack be repaired?

Often yes. Many chips and cracks can be filled and polished so they are hard to see, and we tell you honestly when a section needs replacing.

Do you remove mold?

No. We repair and seal countertops and we recommend a qualified specialist for extensive mold.
