What to Expect During Your Countertop Installation

Installing new countertops is one of the most impactful upgrades you can make to your kitchen or bathroom. At Alma Granite, we want you to feel confident and prepared every step of the way — so here’s exactly what to expect during your countertop installation.

“ A smooth installation starts with proper planning. Our goal is to make the entire process efficient, professional, and stress-free — from first measurement to final polish. ”

Step 1: Final Measurements and Template

Once your design is approved, our team returns to your home to take detailed, laser-precise measurements. This ensures your stone is cut exactly to fit your space, including any sink, cooktop, or faucet cutouts.

We use digital templating tools to capture every dimension — giving us a flawless blueprint to begin fabrication.

Step 2: Custom Stone Fabrication

Back at our shop, your slab is carefully cut using CNC technology and hand-finished by our expert team. We shape edges, polish surfaces, and pre-cut holes for sinks or appliances.

Every cut is done with accuracy, care, and the goal of a perfect fit when it arrives in your home.

Step 3: Delivery & On-Site Installation

On installation day, we arrive with your finished stone, prepared and sealed. The old countertop (if needed) will be removed and your new stone carefully set in place.

We align the slabs, seal seams, attach sinks, and double-check every corner for quality and fit.

Installation usually takes 1–2 days, depending on the complexity of the layout.

Step 4: Cleanup & Final Walkthrough

Once everything is installed, we clean up the workspace and do a final walkthrough with you to ensure you’re 100% satisfied. We’ll also give you care tips to keep your stone looking beautiful for years to come.

Quick Tips Before Installation Day

• Clear your countertops and any lower cabinets before the crew arrives.

• Make sure plumbing and electrical connections are accessible.

• Keep pets and children away from the work area during installation.

• Ask any last-minute questions — we’re happy to help!

Done Right, From Start to Finish

Your new countertops will be one of the most-used — and most admired — features in your home. At Alma Granite, we make sure they’re installed with the precision and professionalism you deserve.
