Carefully choosing a countertops fabricator

Picking the right stone specialist for your remodel is even more important than selecting your countertops. Why? Because they will help you understand what type of counter is best for you. They will tell you if your slab has any issues before they are sufficed.

They will teach you about the advantages and disadvantages of every countertop material you are thinking of. They will teach you how to look after your stone so that it remains beautiful for a long time. This is one of the most overlooked considerations during a kitchen remodel.

Selecting your Stone Slab First, Before Anything Else

If you already know what type of Kitchen Countertops you want to use, you may be lucky enough to find a countertop fabricator nearby who stocks the exact material you’re looking for. If they don’t have your preferred stone, you can ask them to help you source from a reliable supplier. However, if you haven’t yet decided on the type of counters you want to use, you’ll have a little more work to do. You can start by:

–          Visiting a few showrooms and some of the large home improvement stores or custom kitchen outlets for ideas.

–          Using the Internet and looking at pictures on the websites of national slab dealers.

–          Visit a number of fabricators in your area and look at their stock.

Always try to be flexible and have an open mind. It’s a good idea to pick out a few different slabs that you think will look great in your kitchen. Otherwise, you may find yourself doing much more work looking for a countertops fabricator with the exact slab you desire.

Price comparisons

After visiting a few local companies, other considerations during a kitchen remodel have to do with price comparisons. If you have accurate drawings of your kitchen, some companies will be happy to give you a rough estimate based on that. Others won’t give you one until they visit your home and take measurements and that’s fine too. Set up an appointment to let your countertops fabricator come in and do their thing. In most cases they won’t be in your home for more than fifteen to twenty minutes.

Once you start getting estimates back you might be surprised by the difference in price. If one quote for slabs is way lower than the rest you should probably toss it out, the same rule applies if one is way higher than the rest. You don’t want to sacrifice quality by hiring the lowest bidder and you don’t want to be overcharged either.

Working with a Local fabricator

It is advisable to work with a local fabricator who can easily visit your home to inspect your kitchen, and make any suggestions that might help you out in the long run. Besides this, working with local fabricators saves you money since countertops are heavy and certainly, you do not want to incur heavy shipping costs.

Looking for a fabricator

You can find countertops suppliers and installers from many sources. The yellow pages, for example, are among the most viable considerations during a kitchen remodel.

On the internet, look under the search – Countertops, Kitchen Countertops, Quartz and Granite, Quartz Slabs and Engineered Countertops, etc. for starters.

Maybe you want to do business with a contractor close to your home, who knows your area. Call a few contractors from nearby companies and tell them you’re considering a certain type of countertop, but that you want to be educated on it and the process involved in fabrication and installation of kitchen countertops in South Carolina.

Another way to find a Reliable Countertops Fabricator is through referrals from friends, realtors, or people you may know in the construction business. You may hear about good experiences and bad experiences which can affect your decision.
