Installing new countertops can add value to your kitchen renovation project, but there are risks involved if you attempt to do it yourself. Many countertops are custom built to fit, and while hard materials, such as quartz, are incredibly durable, they are also vulnerable to damage. If you are renovating your kitchen, consider these reasons you should hire an experienced professional for the countertop installation.

3 Reasons to Hire a Professional Installer

1. Experience

It’s essential to take into account such factors as the cabinets beneath the countertops during an installation. Many countertops, especially when made of natural materials, such as marble or granite, are quite heavy and can cause unprepared cabinets to buckle beneath their weight. A professional will expect this and know how to reinforce the cabinets.  

2. Tools & Knowledge

Countertop installation involves more than mounting new counters to the top of cabinets. Tools are needed to measure the slab precisely, trim excess material, secure the countertop, and polish and finish it. For example, using the wrong polisher or sealant on a quartz countertop can damage the surface.

3. Peace of Mind

It’s not easy to install countertops made of certain materials, like quartz, and the entire process can be stressful. By hiring a professional, you can rest easier knowing someone more experienced is moving the countertop and installing it in its allotted space. The will ensure the installation is done quickly and safely.
