Planning Your Granite Counter Renovation

Once you’ve decided on designing and installing new granite countertops, you should familiarize yourself with what to expect during the home improvement process. You will need to pick out the granite for your custom kitchen countertops, and then the granite countertops will be professionally fabricated and installed.

Your kitchen design company will send you to one of their high quality granite suppliers to pick out the color, design, and style of granite that you want. After you pick out the granite, your custom granite company will begin fabricating your new countertops. You can visit the company’s shop at any time during this process to check on the progress of your countertops.

The approximate timeframe between choosing your granite and the completed installation of your new granite countertops is about two weeks. Your granite countertops are designed and fabricated to last a lifetime with the proper care and maintenance. Granite is incredibly durable, and is resistant to stains, scratches, chips, and cracks. Your granite countertops will be sealed to protect them from normal wear and tear. You’ll simply need to clean them regularly with a mild cleaner, and have them re-sealed every 15 years.
