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.
