Install Day Guide
Access: Granite/Quartz countertops are extremely heavy, and installers need clear access to entry ways. Please have your walkways and driveways as clear as possible.
Cabinets: We recommend that you empty the cabinets under the sink base because they will be in there to attach your undermount sink. We will vacuum up our mess, but do not wipe down the cabinetry.
Safety: Please remove any breakable items and cover items to protect them from dust. Granite installation can create a lot of dust. Our installers do try to control the mess the best they can, but please remember that this is construction and it is by definition a messy business.
Faucets: Please have ready any faucets, soap dispensers, hot water taps, disposal switches, reverse osmosis spigots and any other items that need to be drilled into the countertops we prefer to do this prior to in home installation, but if anything gets missed during measure we can make necessary changes. Your plumber will NOT be able to drill extra holes.
Top mount sinks will be cut on site inside the home after the tops have been set in place. Under-mount sinks are cut and polished at our shop and attached at the job site. If you have a farm sink that you are using it needs to be completely installed and attached to the cabinet BEFORE we come to measure so we can template around it.
Cook Tops: These will be cut out inside the home once the top has been set on the cabinets. Even though we do our best to lessen the dust it is the responsibility of the homeowner to remove any soft glide hardware or anything they feel the fine granite dust will damage.
Dishwashers: These need to be in their final position. We install a metal bracket across the top of the cabinet that you can screw your dishwasher tabs into the following day. You may have to re-level the feet on the dishwasher depending on the thickness of your laminate.
Refrigerators: These can remain in place unless previously discussed otherwise.
