A New Kitchen Countertop Will Bring the Room Together

by Kevin Smith Author

If you've decided to remodel your kitchen, you've made good headway in creating a comfortable home for your family, and made a good decision for attracting potential buyers when it comes time to sell your house. Kitchen remodels are near the top of the list when it comes to spending your renovation budget wisely. There are many decisions to be made when redesigning your kitchen, but the final decision may be the most important. Selecting a kitchen countertop is key to pulling the whole look together, and will become the most-used surface in the kitchen. So it pays to select the right material to use for your countertop and to select the right company to perform your kitchen countertop installation in Kennesaw.

What Is the Installation Process?

The process begins with a sketch of your new kitchen design. It can be created by hand, or if you work with a designer, through a computer program. You should bring a part of the new cabinets with you in order to make certain you select a matching slab of your preferred kitchen countertop. The dealer should lead you through the various types of materials available to you and guide you in your final choice and edge design. Using the sketch you've brought, the dealer will then provide a free estimate of the cost involved to purchase, fabricate, and install the countertop. The dealer will then schedule an appointment for a team to come to your home and draw up a template of the total area to be covered. This appointment will provide complete accuracy. Once the template is drawn, you will return to the dealer to ensure the template is positioned on the slab of your choice to your liking. The slab will then go to the mill for cutting and processing, and following that, to installation in your home. After installing your countertop, the installer will go over the care requirements for the material. The turnaround time from order to completion is ten days to two weeks.

What to Consider in a Dealer

Be sure you're working with a reputable dealer who is licensed and insured. The crew who enters your home should be thoroughly vetted with a background check done. The company should be a member of a local business organization, such as the Chamber of Commerce, as well as at least one professional organization like the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI). They should offer a warranty on their work and their installation. These are a few things to keep in mind when choosing a company to perform your kitchen countertop installation in Kennesaw.
