Countertop Installation in Claremore, OK

The complete countertop process typically takes 2-3 weeks from templating to installation. Digital templating requires about 1 hour and occurs after cabinets are fully installed. Fabrication takes 7-10 business days depending on material and complexity. Installation day typically takes 2-4 hours for average kitchens. We coordinate scheduling to minimize disruption—you'll be without countertops for only the fabrication period between old countertop removal and new installation.

Granite is natural stone quarried from the earth—each slab is unique with natural variations in pattern and color. Granite requires periodic sealing (typically yearly) and is highly heat resistant. Quartz is engineered stone made from natural quartz crystals bound with resins—offering consistent patterns, requiring no sealing, and providing excellent stain resistance. Both are durable and beautiful; the choice often comes down to preference for natural uniqueness versus consistent patterns and lower maintenance.

Yes, granite and other natural stone countertops require sealing to protect against staining. We apply professional-grade sealer during installation. Depending on stone porosity and usage, resealing is typically needed every 1-2 years—a simple process you can do yourself with products we recommend. A simple water test (water droplets should bead, not absorb) tells you when resealing is needed. Quartz and solid surface countertops don't require sealing.

Absolutely! For granite, marble, and quartzite, we encourage customers to visit slab yards and personally select the specific slab that will become their countertops. Natural stone varies significantly between slabs—even within the same color name—so hand-selection ensures you get exactly the pattern, movement, and coloring you want. We can accompany you to local slab warehouses and help you evaluate options. For quartz, samples accurately represent the final product due to manufacturing consistency.

We offer numerous edge profiles to complement your design style. Popular options include: Eased (slightly rounded square edge)—clean, contemporary; Beveled—angled edge for modern look; Bullnose (half or full)—fully rounded, traditional; Ogee—elegant S-curve for formal kitchens; Waterfall—continues down cabinet sides for dramatic effect. Edge profile pricing varies by complexity. We show profile samples during consultation so you can see and feel the differences before choosing.

While we minimize seams through strategic layout planning, some seams are unavoidable in larger kitchens or when working with slab size limitations. Our fabricators place seams at logical points—often at sink cutouts or corner transitions—where they're least visible. Color-matched epoxy creates nearly invisible joints on most materials. For natural stone, we carefully match patterns across seams. Digital templating helps us plan optimal seam placement before fabrication.

Yes, we handle complete undermount sink installation as part of our countertop service. Cutouts are precisely sized for your specific sink model, and the sink is mounted securely to the underside of the countertop with proper support brackets and waterproof sealing. We coordinate with plumbers for final drain and water line connections, or can recommend trusted plumbers if needed. Undermount installation is included in our countertop pricing—you just provide the sink.

Clear everything from existing countertops and empty base cabinets below sink area. Disconnect appliances sitting on countertops (stand mixers, coffee makers, etc.). Ensure clear access paths for crews carrying heavy slabs. Remove items from walls above countertop areas if installing new backsplash. Turn off water supply to sink before installation day if existing sink will be removed. We'll protect floors and adjacent areas during work, but clearing the workspace helps installation proceed efficiently.
