Start with the cabinets and sink
Keeping sound cabinets can make a replacement project much simpler. We review the cabinet run, current counter, sink, faucet and appliance clearances so the new quartz is planned around the kitchen you already have.

Planning a countertop replacement in Toronto or the GTA
A counter-only update moves more smoothly when the existing kitchen is checked before a stone is chosen. The useful decisions are usually about what stays, what changes, and which details need to be settled before the final measure.
Decide on backsplash and edges early
A waterfall panel or full-height stone backsplash changes the material plan, seams, outlet locations and installation sequence. It is easier to confirm those details before fabrication than to add them after the counter is templated.
Measure the real kitchen before fabrication
Photos and rough dimensions are useful for the first conversation. The final countertop scope comes from an in-home measure, where we can confirm the actual runs, cutouts, edges and any sink-reconnect work in writing.
Common questions
How much does countertop replacement cost in Toronto and the GTA?
The total depends on the stone, layout, seams, edges, sink work, backsplash and site conditions. We review the actual kitchen, then confirm a written countertop scope before fabrication rather than working from a generic per-square-foot number.
Can I replace countertops without replacing cabinets?
Often, yes. We assess the existing kitchen and confirm the countertop scope after reviewing the cabinet run, current surface, backsplash and sink details.
Can I add a backsplash or waterfall edge at the same time?
Yes. Include those ideas when you start. They affect material, fabrication and installation scope, so we confirm them in writing before fabrication.
Do countertop installers also install the sink?
Yes. Sink reconnects are part of the countertop plan. We review the sink and faucet details before fabrication so the confirmed scope reflects the actual kitchen.
Can you add a full-height stone backsplash?
Yes. We review the backsplash, outlet locations and any receptacle work early because they affect the stone layout and installation scope.
How long does countertop installation take?
Timing depends on the material, the confirmed scope and when the kitchen is ready for measurement. The site measure happens before fabrication, then we confirm the installation sequence around the actual kitchen and any sink or backsplash work.
Can I use my kitchen after a countertop installation?
We confirm the handoff and use timing with your written scope, including the sink reconnect and any backsplash work. The answer depends on the details of your particular kitchen rather than a blanket promise.
Is quartz a good choice for an existing kitchen?
Quartz is a common choice for a counter-only update because it offers a broad range of white, veined and speckled looks. We help you compare the stone with your existing cabinet colour, backsplash direction and how the kitchen is used before it is fabricated.
