We verify chemical resistance, slip resistance at edges, and NSF options for food service requirements.
The Complete Installation Process
Before beginning any cutting, we map out your project with a clear, code-compliant plan that reduces delays and complications. We begin with a site assessment to verify measurements, equipment spacing, surface conditions, and accessibility. We map plumbing, electrical, and vent locations to prevent conflicts and comply with local codes.
Next, we handle timeline scheduling. You'll receive a detailed schedule coordinating all project phases from demolition to installation, so other trades can stay on track. We template with precision, validate all structural and design specifications, then fabricate with customized edges and openings according to your specifications.
On installation day, we shield the floor areas, set and level foundation components, test-fit the slabs, fasten them to meet requirements, seal all seams, and reconnect fixtures as allowed. To complete the process, we thoroughly clean, perform a detailed inspection, and walk you through proper care and warranty information.

Essential Care Tips for Lasting Beauty
With the same attention to detail we use during installation, we set you up to preserve your countertops looking and performing like day one. Immediately address spills using non-acidic cleaner and a soft cloth; avoid rough substances that might harm sealants and finishes. Adhere to manufacturer guidelines for resealing; in frequently used kitchens, think about using daily sealing sprays for stone surfaces to improve stain resistance between full seal coats. Always use cutting boards to protect edges and prevent micro-chipping.
Heat protection is essential. Place hot pans on protective trivets, as sudden temperature changes may crack stone or delaminate laminates. Install heat-resistant mats in cooking and beverage zones. Keep grout lines and caulking in good condition-check quarterly and address any gaps to preserve moisture barriers. For professional repairs, contact our team; we provide color-matched filling, restore etched areas, and ensure finishes comply with codes and warranty requirements.
