New countertops without a full remodel
The fastest, highest-impact change you can make to a kitchen you otherwise like. We pull the old tops, template the cabinets, and install new stone — usually inside two weeks, with the sink, faucet and cooktop re-set.
Done by the crew that measured it
Quartz, granite, quartzite & more
The full surfaces range — quartz for zero maintenance, natural stone for character, porcelain for the thinnest profile.
Digitally measured
Laser templating of your actual cabinets — including runs that are out of square — so the seams, overhangs and sink cutout land right.
Removal & disposal
We disconnect the plumbing, pull the old counters and backsplash, and haul them away. Laminate comes off easy; old tile or stone is more work.
Re-set or upgrade
Re-use your sink and faucet, or move to an undermount or workstation sink while the top is off — the best time to change it.
Patch or replace
A new counter almost always means at least a new backsplash course. Consider a full backsplash or a slab splash at the same time.
About two weeks
Template to install is usually 10–14 days. Install day is a few hours; you lose the kitchen for one day, not a month.
Can you install over my existing cabinets?
Yes, as long as they are level, solid and can carry the weight of stone — we check at the template visit. Most stock and semi-custom cabinets are fine.
What does a countertop swap cost?
For a typical Monadnock-region kitchen (40–55 sq ft) budget roughly \$3,500–\$8,000 installed depending on material and edge — run the countertop calculator for your numbers.
Do I need a plumber?
We disconnect and reconnect a standard sink and faucet. A new gas cooktop or a plumbing relocation brings in the licensed trades, which we coordinate.
Will my backsplash survive?
Rarely intact — removing the old top usually damages the bottom row of tile. Plan on at least a new bottom course, ideally a fresh backsplash.
