Open, uneven or discolored seams realigned, refilled and polished so the surface looks continuous.
Seams are where two pieces of countertop meet, and they are the most common place for problems. Over time a seam can open as cabinets settle, darken from dirt and moisture, develop a lip where one side sits higher than the other or lose its adhesive. A well-made seam should be tight and flush, and a failing seam is a sign to look at the supports below. Homeowners in Nashville ask us to repair seams that feel rough, look dirty or have started to separate.
We inspect the seam and the cabinets underneath, checking for level, movement and moisture. We clean out old adhesive and dirt, and, if needed, release the seam, adjust the supports and realign the pieces. We pull the pieces tight with seam setters, fill the joint with color-matched adhesive, remove excess and polish. Where one side is higher, we level it. We seal natural stone and give you tips to keep the seam clean. If cabinets are the problem, we explain what to fix.
A seam opens because of settling, flexing, moisture or poor adhesion. We check cabinets, shims and supports to solve the cause.
When needed, we loosen the seam, correct the level and pull the pieces together before filling.
The adhesive is tinted to blend with the stone, and excess is removed so the line is thin and neat.
Seams collect dirt and moisture. Sealing and regular cleaning keep them looking good.
