5 Steps To Choosing And Installing The Perfect Stone Countertop

Whether you are renovating your current home or building a new home, the perfectly selected and installed stone countertops can significantly enhance the home’s beauty and, ultimately, increase the overall value of your home.
Countertops and backsplashes can lead the way in your home’s overall style so it’s important to ensure you choose the right materials and choose a stone countertop fabricator and installer that will provide the highest level of service, accuracy, and quality for the job.
True Blue Surfaces offers a signature five-step process to ensure your countertop installation is seamless, on time, and within budget. Let’s explore each step so you know what to expect during the process from start to finish.

Step 1: Measure Layout for a Rough Estimate

This is where your vision begins. We’ll start by understanding more about the space. We’ll sketch out a preliminary layout with estimated measurements you provide for a quick estimate of square footage required and identify any special needs you might have.
With this information, we will provide an initial estimate enabling you to have a general budget for the project based on the material you are considering. This will help you to narrow down to the right type of stone and allows True Blue to provide an overview of the time and costs that will be involved.

Step 2: Select the Stone for Your Countertop Design

Time to select your materials! It’s important to understand the way your family uses the space to know which type of stone surface will serve you best depending on care and maintenance preferences, usage of the countertops, style and design preferences, and more.
When you visit our designer showroom, you’ll be able to see samples as well as walk the slab yard. By being able to see the slabs in person, view engineered and exotic stone samples, and get ideas from our gallery of completed countertop projects, you’ll have a good idea of the types of material available to you.
