How long does it take to fabricate and install a kitchen countertop?

The fabrication and installation timeline for a kitchen countertop typically spans from one to four weeks after the final measurements are taken. This timeline can be broken down as follows:

  1. Material Selection (1-3 days): Once you visit our showroom or supplier, you’ll select the slab or material of your choice.

  2. Template Creation (1-2 days): After finalizing the design and material, we’ll create a template of your kitchen countertop. This is a precise measurement process that ensures a perfect fit.

  3. Fabrication (1-2 weeks): The actual cutting, shaping, and finishing of the countertop material happen during this stage. The time can vary based on the complexity of the design, the material’s hardness, and our current workload.

  4. Installation (1 day): In most cases, the installation of the countertop can be completed within a day. However, larger or more complex jobs might take longer.

Please note that these timelines are general estimates and can vary based on specific project details, customization, and other factors. It’s always best to discuss timelines directly with us for a more accurate estimate tailored to your project.
