Types of Work Done on Countertops:
Fabrication: This is the process of taking raw slabs of material (granite, marble, quartz, etc.) and cutting, shaping, and finishing them to the specific dimensions and edge profiles required for a countertop installation. This often involves CNC machines, saws, polishers, and other specialized equipment.
Installation: This involves measuring the space, preparing the cabinets or substrate, installing the fabricated countertop sections, seaming them together (if necessary), and sealing or finishing the surface. It requires precision and attention to detail to ensure a level and secure installation.
Repair: This can range from filling small chips and cracks to repairing larger damage like cracks or seam separations. The goal is to restore the countertop’s appearance and functionality.
Maintenance: This includes cleaning, sealing (for some materials), and other preventative measures to keep the countertop looking its best and prolong its lifespan.
Templating: Before fabrication, accurate templates are made of the countertop area. This is crucial for ensuring a precise fit. This is often done with physical templates or increasingly with digital templating tools.
Removal/Demolition: Sometimes, old countertops need to be removed before new ones can be installed. This can be a messy and labor-intensive process.
Design/Consultation: While not strictly “work” on the countertop itself, design and consultation are essential parts of the process. This involves helping clients choose the right materials, colors, and styles to fit their needs and budget.
Restoration: For older or antique countertops (especially natural stone), restoration may be needed to bring them back to their original beauty. This can involve specialized cleaning, polishing, and repair techniques.
