Kitchen Countertop Installation, New Britain & Across Connecticut

A straight kitchen counter with no fabrication is usually a one to two day job including the waterproofing and cure time. Cutouts, an island, or a mitred edge add time. We give you a written schedule at the estimate so you know the days we need.

That depends on the material. Tile and a standard porcelain or granite tile counter we cut on site. A large porcelain slab or a cut-out stone top is cut and finished by a fabricator, either one you already use, or one we can recommend. We set the finished piece and make the joints right.

Sometimes, but we rarely recommend it. The old laminate is usually laid in a bed of adhesive with no solid base, which is exactly the kind of flex that cracks tile later. We would rather build a proper base and give you a counter that lasts. If the existing counter is already tiled on a sound base we can work with it.

Not if the counter is built right. The surface is set in full-bed adhesive on a waterproofed base, we leave a small movement gap at the wall and fill it with silicone rather than grout, and any cut-out for a sink is sealed. Water sits on top and wipes off instead of finding a way into the cabinet below.

You buy it, we set it. Plenty of clients come to us with stone or porcelain already chosen and cut by a fabricator, and we set and install the finished piece. Others want a tiled counter built from tile they pick with us. Tell us where you are in the process and we will tell you honestly what still needs to happen before we can install.
