Before you start granite countertop installation—or another material, such as tile—there are several important considerations to review before you begin:
1. Be Prepared
Prior to starting countertop installation, it is best to have the kitchen finished and ready to receive new countertops. If you are changing any appliances, faucets, hardware, or cabinet positions, complete your updates first or make detailed notes about specific redesign or remodeling details, including measurements and dimensions.
2. Draw It Out
Before you start with any kind of installation, make a complete drawing of the countertops. Remember to include the countertop overhang, cutout dimensions, backsplashes, seam location (average slab dimensions are about 108 x 62 inches in size), and a finished edge along all visible edges.
