Countertop installation in Port Angeles, Sequim, and across the Olympic Peninsula. Quartz, granite, natural stone, and tile — templated, fabricated, and installed clean.
A countertop is a single visible surface, but it sits on cabinets that are rarely level, meets walls that are rarely plumb, and has to integrate sinks, faucets, and appliances without a gap or a wobble. Good countertop work is precise templating, careful fabrication, and a clean install — not just dropping a slab.
Clean Removal
Old countertops come off without taking the cabinets, plumbing, or surrounding tile with them.
- Plumbing disconnected first. Water shut off, sink and faucet removed, drain and supply lines protected.
- Cabinets protected. Adhesive joints scored cleanly so face frames and tops aren’t damaged during removal.
- Backsplashes addressed. Tile or slab backsplashes removed and walls patched, or carefully preserved when the new top is replacing the counter only.
- Haul-off included. Old material leaves with us.
Materials We Install
Each material has different fabrication, seam, and maintenance characteristics. We help you choose based on use, budget, and look.
Quartz (Engineered Stone)
Caesarstone, Cambria, Silestone, MSI Q. Non-porous, no sealing required, consistent pattern, broad color range. The most forgiving choice for kitchens with heavy daily use.
Granite
Heat-tolerant natural stone with one-of-a-kind veining. Slabs are slab-yard selected so you see the actual material before fabrication. Sealed at install and on a maintenance schedule.
Natural Stone
Marble, quartzite, soapstone, and travertine for clients who want the character of a natural surface and accept the maintenance that comes with it.
Tile Countertops
Porcelain or ceramic tile countertops set on cement backer with proper waterproofing — a budget-friendly option that’s seeing renewed interest in modern kitchens and bathrooms.
Templating & Fabrication
Slab countertops live or die at the template. Cabinets are checked for level and shimmed before any measurements are taken.
- Cabinets verified level, plumb, and securely fastened. Shims and adjustments handled before templating.
- Digital or hard template made from the actual installed cabinets — never from drawings alone.
- Sink, faucet, cooktop, and outlet locations marked at the template, not in the field.
- Slab selected at the supplier’s yard so you approve the exact piece — veining, color, and movement visible before cutting.
- Fabrication: cut, polished edges, sink and faucet cutouts done at the shop with proper tooling.
- Delivery and dry-fit on-site, scribed to walls, seams aligned and color-matched.
- Set in silicone on the cabinets, seams epoxied with color-matched resin, polished flush.
- Plumbing reconnected, sink installed, caulk lines run at backsplash and walls.
Edge Profiles
The edge changes the entire look of a countertop. Common profiles available in quartz and stone:
- Eased / square. Modern, clean. Slight roundover for chip resistance.
- Beveled. Crisp angled top edge — works well in transitional kitchens.
- Bullnose. Fully rounded top and bottom — softer, traditional.
- Half bullnose. Rounded top, square bottom — comfortable on the wrist, modern profile.
- Ogee. Decorative S-curve — formal, traditional kitchens and vanities.
- Mitered edge. 45° miter creates a thick visible edge from a thinner slab — popular for waterfall ends.
Sinks & Cutouts
- Undermount sinks — clipped and epoxied beneath the slab for a seamless edge that wipes clean.
- Drop-in sinks — for tile, laminate, or budget-conscious slab installs.
- Farmhouse / apron-front sinks — cabinet modifications and slab cutouts coordinated with the cabinet maker.
- Faucet, soap, and air-gap holes drilled at fabrication, not in the field.
- Cooktop and downdraft cutouts templated to manufacturer specs with proper clearances.
Seams & Overhangs
Where seams have to exist, they’re placed where they’re least visible — never centered on a sink, never across a high-traffic prep zone if avoidable.
- Seams epoxied with color-matched resin, sanded flush, and polished — not just butted together
- Overhangs over 10–12″ supported with steel brackets or corbels per the slab manufacturer’s spec
- Waterfall edges mitered for a continuous grain wrap from countertop to floor
- Backsplashes templated to the actual finished countertop, not assumed dimensions
Sealing & Maintenance
- Penetrating sealers used on all natural stone — they bond into the pores rather than sitting on top
- Sealing schedule and care instructions handed to you at project completion
- Stone-safe cleaners recommended; common kitchen cleaners can etch marble and dull granite
- Soapstone owners can choose oiled (darker, traditional) or natural (lighter, weathered) finish — we’ll explain both
