Your countertop questions,
answered.

Your total depends on the selected slab, area, edge profile, cutouts, backsplash and any removal or additional work. Use our Budget planner for a personalized estimated range, then confirm the details with a formal quote.

No. It gives you an estimated total range based on the project details you provide. You share your contact details before receiving that range. A formal quote follows a review of measurements, selected material and scope.

Yes. Approximate dimensions, a sketch, or photos can start the conversation. The final template confirms the fabrication dimensions. In-home estimates are free; contact our team to schedule the visit.

They are the slab pricing groups used in our planner. They help organize the estimate; they do not rank durability or warranty quality. We’ll confirm the group for the color you choose.

A 50% deposit is due at signing, with the remaining balance due at the end of installation. Your written quote or contract confirms the payment terms for the agreed work; review them with our team before approving the project, along with the material selection, scope, and schedule.

Quartz offers a wide range of engineered patterns and needs no routine sealing. Granite offers natural variation and may need sealing, depending on the stone. Compare actual samples, care needs and your project quote to decide what fits your home.

Quartz countertops are engineered surfaces. Quartzite is natural stone, with variations between slabs and product-specific sealing needs. Similar names do not mean identical care. Review the actual slab and its care guidance before choosing.

2cm gives a slimmer profile; 3cm adds visual weight. The right choice also depends on the material, edge design, cabinets, cutouts and overhangs. Both need a support plan appropriate to the project.

Yes, these can be planned as part of your project. They affect material use, layout, seam placement and the quote. Review vein direction and how the pieces meet before approving fabrication.

A remnant can work well for a smaller surface if the available piece fits your dimensions, cutouts and preferred look. Availability changes, so confirm the actual piece with our team before planning around it.

Yes. We review sink specifications, cabinet clearance and faucet placement along with the edge design. Eased is our included edge profile; other profiles can change the scope and price. Confirm the selected sink before templating.

Our typical window is 5 to 12 business days from template to installation. Material availability, approved details, fabrication requirements, and site readiness can affect the schedule. We confirm the timing for your project before the work proceeds, so you can coordinate other trades around it.

Often, yes, if the existing cabinets are secure, level and able to support the new surface. We need to assess their condition and the existing backsplash, sink and layout before confirming the replacement scope.

Yes, removal and haul-away can be part of your replacement project or a separate service. The existing material and access affect the work. Arrange plumbing disconnection before removal and confirm all inclusions in your quote.

Arrange plumbing disconnection before countertop removal and reconnection after installation with your plumber. Coordinate the timing with us so the site is ready for each stage.

Have the cabinets secured and level, with the sink and appliance models or specifications available. Clear the work area and confirm the layout with us. We’ll explain any additional preparation needed for your project.

A seam may be needed depending on slab size, your layout, access and safe handling. We review seam placement and pattern direction during planning. A seam is part of the design conversation, not something to leave until installation.

No routine sealing is required for quartz. Use the care instructions for your chosen product. Natural stones have different requirements, so do not apply one surface’s care routine to another.

Use a trivet or hot pad. Direct or prolonged heat can damage quartz, including heat from countertop appliances. Follow the manufacturer’s guidance for the exact product installed.

Quartz resists many everyday stains, but it is not stain-proof. Wipe up spills promptly and use the manufacturer’s recommended cleaning method for stubborn marks. Avoid abrasive pads and unapproved chemicals.

For everyday care, use a soft cloth and a mild cleaner approved for your surface. Rinse and dry as directed. Natural stone and engineered quartz have different needs; avoid acidic cleaners on acid-sensitive stones such as marble.

Some chips, cracks and loose seams can be repaired, depending on the material, damage and underlying cause. Send clear photos through our planner. We’ll assess the options and explain what finish to expect before proceeding.

We’re based in Lynnwood and serve communities across greater Seattle and the Eastside, including Everett, Edmonds, Bothell, Bellevue, Redmond and Seattle. Contact us to confirm your address. Extended travel and ferry locations may have additional fees.

Top Granite is your point of contact throughout the project. Our team coordinates fabrication with our partner in Mukilteo and installation with our team, from the approved layout through the final walkthrough.

Top Granite provides a 5-year workmanship warranty. The written project documents explain the applicable coverage and terms. Manufacturer product warranties are separate; ask our team which documents apply to your selected surface.

Yes. We work with homeowners, contractors and designers. Share your plans, material preferences, site requirements and target schedule so we can coordinate the right next steps.
