While it’s possible to install your new countertops yourself, it’s not always recommended. Countertops are a big investment, and the last thing you want is for them to get damaged during installation. You’ll probably spend more on the fixes than you would’ve spent getting it professionally installed!
Hiring a professional ensures that your project will go off without a hitch and, even if it doesn’t, the contractor is on the line for the mistakes.
At Wallstone Stone Countertops, we are skilled fabricators and installers. In this article, we’ll let you know why having a pro install your countertop is the best choice to make.
Why Hire a Professional?
Here are a couple things that professional countertop installers have that the typical layperson doesn’t:
The right tools.
It’s true, you could go out and buy all the right tools yourself—but that’s even more money you’ll have to spend if you don’t have specific countertop installation tools at your disposal. Not only that, but these tools should only be handled by people who have been trained to use them.
The pros have these tools on hand and know how to put them to work. You can depend on them to measure your space correctly and minimize the chance for errors.
Installation know-how.
If you try to install heavy materials like quartz or granite yourself, you can do more than damage the stone. You could also cause bodily harm to yourself and others! This concept alone can bring great stress to people, and professional installers take that stress away.
Installers also know how to eliminate (or greatly diminish) grout lines and seams of a countertop. DIY projects, more often than not, tend to have insufficient support (which causes cracks), and an uneven slab. When the pros handle your project, you won’t have to worry about such things.
Going Pro
Installing a countertop is a big job—one that is time-consuming and overwhelming for those who don’t know what they’re doing. At Wallstone Stone Countertops, we believe that going with the pros is always the better option—you will always get the high-quality service that you pay for.
