How it works
- Pick your material and color at a fabricator's showroom or slab yard.
- A templater measures the cabinets once they're level and secure.
- The fabricator cuts the slab, the sink cutout and the edge profile.
- Install day: old tops out, new tops set, seams joined, sink and faucet reconnected. The cooktop or range is reconnected by the right trade.
What changes the price
- Square footage and the number of seams
- Thickness (2 cm vs. 3 cm) and edge profile
- Sink type: undermount sinks need a polished cutout
- Full-height backsplash in the same stone
- Removing and disposing of old stone or tile tops
