We’ve been building kitchens and bathrooms from scratch for years. While we’re on-site replacing countertops you will often find us installing new cabinets doors, putting in new appliances, modifying cabinets, installing toilets, replacing undercabinet lighting or doing a tile backsplash. Again, our goal is to make your project simple, we take care of every detail so you don’t have to.

Quartz is engineered and manufactured to be maintenance free, chip and crack resistant. Natural stone, like granite and marble need to be sealed and maintained to prevent staining. This is an extra step that most homeowners don’t want to have to worry about.

1 Centimeter. Just kidding, kinda. This is referring to the thickness of the slab of quartz. For most people, the difference between the two is aesthetics, do you want a thinner contemporary edge and sink cutout, or do you want a more substantial looking edge. However, the design of your existing cabinets and kitchen or bathroom can dictate which material you’ll have to go with. When we come to do an estimate we will give you an idea of all your options!

All you have to do is make sure that your countertops have nothing on them, and that your sink cabinet is empty and we do the rest. You may empty all of your bottom cabinets if you are concerned about dust, as there is usually a minor amount that drops down during removal.

We have access to every brand out there! You can also supply your own sink and faucet if you wish. However, always give us a call before you buy something so we can make sure it will fit properly in your existing or new cabinets, and install well. We recommend and offer quality brands like Blanco, Delta, Riobel, Toto and American Standard.

It depends! Within laminate there are so called standard and premium (or HD) colours. Since laminate is generally lower cost, the spread between these colours might be a few hundred dollars on a whole kitchen. Quartz, however, is another story and a project can fluctuate by a few thousand dollars! Manufacturers generally have their colours grouped into different “levels” or “collections”, if you’re looking for quartz countertops definitely give us a call so we can steer you in the right direction of the perfect colour for your budget.

Absolutely. Our goal is to take care of every aspect of your project. Countertop removal, and getting rid of your old fixtures and appliances is no problem! And this isn’t like those renovation shows on TV, no sledgehammers and dramatic destruction. We remove everything with care to keep the other parts of your kitchen clean and intact and to minimize any mess!

Probably not! As far as quartz countertops go, though they are made of 90% plus natural quartz that remaining percentage is a combination of resins and pigments that may react adversely to heat, though if you did accidentally put something hot down briefly, it would probably be okay. You should put down a trivet under your pots and hot baking sheets. If you’ve got natural granite, putting hot items on your counter shouldn’t be a problem. Lastly, laminate would literally melt in most cases so in no circumstances put anything hot on your nice new laminate countertops!

Absolutely! The durability of quartz is one of the reasons over 90% of our requests are for quartz countertops. Despite being a manmade product it is comprised of over 90% natural stone. The way that it is manufactured creates a very dense material that is resistant to both cracking and staining with no sealing or maintenance required.

Yes, Formica is actually just a brand of laminate material. You may have also heard laminate referred to as Arborite (again a brand). But no matter what you call it, it’s an excellent budget friendly choice for your next countertop project.
