If you've been thinking about new countertops before the holidays, here's what the timeline actually looks like:
1️⃣ Showroom visit to choose your stone
2️⃣ Template appointment at your home
3️⃣ Fabrication: typically 7–14 business days
4️⃣Installation
Start to finish, we're usually looking at 3-6 weeks in normal conditions. That means if you come in within the next few weeks, you're still in good shape for the holidays.
Your project manager walks you through every step and keeps you updated along the way — no wondering where things stand.
