New countertops are one of the most noticeable changes you can make to a kitchen without changing the layout. The right material depends on how you cook, how much maintenance you want, and what your cabinets can support. Stone and quartz are heavy, and older or worn cabinet boxes sometimes need reinforcing or replacing first.
The process usually runs in order: choose the material and edge, template the existing cabinets, fabricate the tops, then install the sink and reconnect plumbing. We help you compare quartz, granite, solid surface, laminate, and butcher block on durability, care, and the factors that drive their cost, and plan the backsplash at the same time.

Countertop replacement is a good fit when your cabinets are solid and the layout works, but the surfaces are worn, dated, or hard to keep clean. It pairs well with cabinet refacing for a big visual change with less disruption than a full remodel.
Every project is quoted on its own details. These are the things that move the number most, and we walk through each one with you on the estimate.
Natural stone and quartz cost more than laminate or butcher block, and premium colors and patterns cost more still.
Larger kitchens, islands, and full-height backsplashes use more slab material.
A simple eased edge is quicker to fabricate than a mitered, ogee, or thick built-up edge.
Undermount sinks, cooktops, and outlet cutouts add fabrication time, and seam placement can affect slab use.
Tearing out tile or stone countertops takes more labor than removing laminate.
Cabinets that are out of level or weak may need shimming or reinforcement before heavy stone goes on.

Granite is natural stone with unique patterns and good heat resistance, and it usually benefits from periodic sealing. The choice often comes down to look and maintenance preference.
Yes, if the cabinets are sturdy and level. Removal sometimes chips paint or damages an old backsplash, so plan to touch up or replace it. If the cabinets are dated but sound, consider refacing them at the same time so everything looks new together.
With stone or quartz, there is a gap between removing the old tops and installing the new ones, because the new pieces are templated and fabricated to fit. The sink is reconnected after install. We explain the expected timing during the estimate so you can plan around it.
It is best to plan the backsplash with the countertop, since the tile or slab needs to look right against the new surface and some backsplash material often has to come off when old tops are removed. A slab backsplash, tile, or a short 4-inch splash are all options.
