FAQs
How long does installation take?
Most kitchens are measured, fabricated, and then installed in a single day once slabs are ready.
Do you remove my old countertops?
Yes—ask about demo and haul-away. We keep the site clean.
Do quartz or granite stain?
Quartz is non-porous and very stain-resistant. Granite resists stains well when properly sealed (we handle that).
