Kitchen Countertop Installation Greenville, NC

Outdated counters make your kitchen harder to clean, use, and enjoy. As part of our kitchen remodeling services, we install kitchen countertops that improve appearance, durability, and everyday function.

This page covers common countertop materials, what installation includes, and how we plan around local cabinet conditions and home age across Greenville and Pitt County.

What’s Included in Kitchen Countertop Installation?

Professional countertop installation includes everything from careful removal to final sealing. We template and fit your new surface to match the exact shape of your kitchen, no gaps, uneven seams, or rough edges.

Installation typically includes:

  • Measuring and templating: Accurate layout for sinks, cooktops, and walls

  • Cabinet inspection: Ensuring your base cabinets can support stone or solid surfaces

  • Old countertop removal: Clean removal without damaging cabinets

  • Surface prep: Shimming or leveling if cabinets are uneven

  • Installation and sealing: Placement, adhesive, and mechanical fasteners

  • Optional sink or faucet hookup: Coordinated with plumbing as needed

Countertop Materials We Use for Installations

We install a wide range of materials based on durability, look, and budget.

Homeowners in Greenville most often choose:

  • Quartz: Low maintenance, stain-resistant, and consistent in appearance

  • Granite: Natural stone with unique patterns and strong durability

  • Butcher block: Warmer look, ideal for prep areas or island tops

  • Solid surface (like Corian): Seamless, easy to clean, and affordable

Cost Factors for Countertop Installation in Greenville

The total cost depends on several factors, including the material you select, how much surface area needs to be covered, and any special layout features like islands or appliance cutouts. In most Greenville kitchens, countertops span 40 to 60 square feet, though larger layouts or added islands increase that total.

Material choice plays a major role. Stone surfaces like quartz and granite typically cost more than laminate or butcher block but offer longer-lasting durability. Edge profiles—especially decorative ones—also affect cost depending on the labor and material involved.

We’ll review your layout, inspect the cabinets, and walk you through material options so the quote reflects the actual work, no hidden charges or surprises.

Timeline and Process: What to Expect

Most countertop projects follow this sequence:

Day 1 | Removal & Templating

We remove your old counters and create a template for exact fabrication. Quartz and granite are cut at a fabrication shop. This takes 3–7 business days depending on the material and cutout details.

Day 2 | Installation

We place the finished countertop, align seams, secure it, and seal surfaces. If your project includes an undermount sink, cutouts and fitting add a few hours.

We keep your project moving and minimize downtime between removal and install.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long before I can use my kitchen after countertop installation?

In most cases, you can use your kitchen within 24 hours of installation. If your project includes plumbing hookups or sealing, we’ll walk you through any short wait times before use.

How much does it cost for someone to install countertops?

The cost depends on the material, layout, and any prep work required. We’ll give you a clear quote based on your kitchen’s square footage, cabinet condition, and selected finish.

How much should I budget for kitchen countertops?

Budget ranges vary based on material. Stone options like quartz or granite cost more than laminate or wood. We’ll help you plan based on how much countertop area your kitchen has and what matters most to you: durability, look, or maintenance.

How long does kitchen countertop installation take?

Most countertop installations take 1 to 3 days. That includes removal of the old surface, templating (if not already completed), and placement of the new material with sealing and adjustments.

Do I need to replace my cabinets before installing new countertops?

Not always. If your cabinets are in good shape and level, we can install new countertops without changing them. We’ll inspect them first to confirm they can support your selected material.
