Bathroom and kitchen remodeling are both great ways to improve the look and value of your home, and one of the most common parts of both projects is installing new countertops.

Big Island Countertops in Hilo, Hawaii, is the largest residential countertop fabrication company in the state, and their specialists can help you choose the materials and design of your new countertops before installing them. If the process is new to you, they say you should expect the following from your countertop installation.

5 Steps to Countertop Installation

1. Planning

Your project will start with a budget and plan, which should account for numerous factors. For example, Big Island Countertops will go over the length of time and amount of money needed to complete your countertop installation. They’ll look at other elements included in your remodeling project to help you plan accordingly.

2. Selection

A specialist will go over your countertop options. You can browse samples, pictures, and materials to help you decide on the best color, size, and material to make your vision a reality.

3. In-Home Consultation

Once you’ve selected the type of countertop you want to install, one of Big Island Countertops’ team members will visit your home to take measurements and assess your project in person.

4. Countertop Fabrication

Your countertop material will then be cut with state-of-the-art equipment to the specifications determined by your in-home measurements and design. The slab will be cut and fitted to include a hole for the sink. Once the finishing touches are put on, a sealant will be applied for protection.

5. Installation

You will be notified of the time of arrival so you can clear the work area of obstacles. Final cuts and adjustments might be made on-site to guarantee the best fit. Workers will mount the countertop, and you’ll be given a chance to inspect the results before they leave. The adhesives will need 24 hours to dry properly before the plumbing is connected.
