  • Template Layout – Every slab is different and template layout ensures you get that unique look.  When templates are placed on the slab you will see what part of the granite feature will be on the counter top.  You wouldn’t want the most interesting part of the counter top landing in a sink cut out but instead featuring it on the island.

 

  • Design – With natural stone’s unique character it helps having a professional that can work the slab into your new remodel or the room’s  current style.  With so many choices the color will influence the room’s palette.  With tips from the experts you will find the counter top that looks good to you and holds up to the room activity level.

 

  • Installation – Not all fabricators are of equal quality and neither is the quality of installation.  The fabricator will steel reinforce cut outs for added strength and durability.  When installing your new sink it’s important that the sink be mechanically pinned to the granite other than relying on glue alone.  The experts will also have the insight of how the solid surface affects the current back splash or cabinets.

 

  • Education – Every solid counter top has its own strengths and weaknesses.  Knowing proper maintenance will keep your investment from being damaged.
