Refreshing the Countertops
Many homeowners dream of solid surface countertops, but the cost can be a concern. When it comes to upgrading your kitchen, solid surface countertops can make a world of difference. Our team at Cope Construction and Renovation works with stone professionals who carefully measure and create templates to ensure a perfect fit for your countertops.
The digital layout allows you to see exactly how your stone will look, assuring you're satisfied with the final design. The fabrication process typically takes around 10 to 14 days before the installation.
The Countertop Installation Process
Installing new countertops involves a few essential steps. Our team disconnects the sink plumbing and any other connections to remove the old countertop. The process may also involve removing other fixtures like dishwashers temporarily. To make things smoother, we recommend having a storage space on-site to keep the countertop while we proceed with the installation.
We believe in maintaining the quality of our work and equipment. To portect our tools and maintain longevity, we use separate fresh water and waste water buckets when tiling, allowing us to avoid recycling water. This not only helps our equipment last longer but also enables a cleaner and more efficient tiling process.
Customizing the Kitchen Space
Once the solid surface countertops are installed, it's time to focus on customizing your kitchen to your liking. We can help you with painting walla and cabinets, changing drawer glides, and updating hardware. Additionally, we csn replace old halogen lights with more modern options like flat versions, providing you with a range of lighting choices from warm to cool tones.
We understand the importance of getting the little things right. From measuring to layout planning, our team ensures that every detail is handled carefully. Whether it's aligning the sink with the cabinet or maintaining consistent spacing between tiles, our focus on precision guarantees an exceptional end result.
Planning the Backsplash
The backsplash is another area where we can enhance your kitchen's aesthetics. Using simple subway tiles with contrasting grout can create a timeless and elegant look. Careful planning is crucial for a seamless backsplash installation. Our team takes precise measurements and works on layouts to ensure the tiles fit perfectly, without the need for small, awkward pieces. By using dark gray grout, we add a touch of sophistication and highlight the beautiful white tiles.
Prioritizing Safety and Style
While adding a backsplash, it's essential to address electrical needs as well. We recommend using box extenders to keep the wiring safely tucked away behind the tile. Ensuring your electrical setup meets safety standards is a crucial aspect of our remodeling process.
At Cope Construction and Renovation, we rationalize that kitchen renovations need not be extravagant to achieve a beautiful and functional space. By focusing on essential updates such as solid surface countertops and carefully planned backsplashes, we can transform your kitchen at an affordable price. With our team's expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to quality, you can rest assured that your kitchen remodel will be a success.
