Glendale Countertops

Kitchen Countertops in Glendale, AZ

New tops templated after the cabinets are set, cut to the room and installed with the sink.

Kitchen Countertops Chosen for How You Cook

Square tile counters with dark grout lines are still common in Glendale homes from the 1980s and 1990s. Replacing them is often the single change that makes a kitchen easiest to clean.

Countertops are templated on site once the cabinets are level and fastened. That measurement drives the cut, so seams land where you expect and overhangs match the drawing.

Tile counters often sit on a mortar bed over plywood. We remove them, check the cabinet tops and replace damaged decking before the template.

Kitchen Countertops Questions

How long am I without counters?

Expect a short gap of days, sometimes up to two weeks, while the fabricator cuts your slab. We schedule tear-out as late as possible to keep it short.

Do new countertops need a permit in Glendale?

Countertops by themselves aren't on the City's permit list. Moving the sink drain or adding outlets is, and we handle that permit when the job includes it.

Should I pick the sink before the countertop?

Yes. The fabricator needs the exact sink model for an undermount cutout, so we choose it before templating.

Will my backsplash need replacing?

Usually. New stone rarely meets an old backsplash cleanly, so most countertop jobs include new tile.
