A kitchen renovation can bring a lot of excitement into your household. There is something truly special about taking an old run-down space and turning it into a space that you have always dreamed of. Replacing old countertops is a great way to jumpstart the renovation process. 

Finding the perfect stone countertop for your home is a very exciting experience. Nothing compares to browsing the different color pallets and going over the design ideas to choose from. Here are some of our top tips on how to prepare for your new stone countertops. 

Empty Your Cupboards

When it comes to preparing for stone counter renovation, you need to ensure that kitchen preparation is at the top of your mind. Your stone countertop will likely be placed on top of cabinets. Whilst the job is being completed, you need to remove the contents of your cupboards. 

This way, we can ensure that the job is done correctly with no disruptions. On top of that, you won’t have to worry about your items being coated in dust from the stone countertop renovation.

Ensure That Your Countertops Are Even

Uneven countertops can cause a lot of trouble for your countertops. Stone slabs are incredibly beautiful and solid. However, this doesn’t mean that they are unbreakable. 

To get the best out of your stone countertop, you need to ensure that it is placed on a level surface that supports its weight evenly to keep it safe and intact. In the event that your cabinet tops are not level, your stone countertop may become the victim of uneven support. 

This could then lead to cracking and pressure points. 

Protect Your Flooring and Furniture

Your kitchen preparation includes preparing and protecting your flooring and furniture. You will have many people walking through your house and working around your home. That is why it is so important to protect the flooring and furniture nearby.

Nearby couches, tables, chairs, and other items of furniture should be covered to stop them from getting dusty. 

Make A Plan

We will always try our best to make as little noise as possible when fitting your stone countertops. However, you may find it easier for both you and your family to not be at home while the installation is in progress. If you find that you’re sensitive to smells and noise, it is a good option to come back when it is complete. 

To ensure the best outcome, simply ask us about the noise and smell level to expect. You must also remember that your access to the area being renovated will be very restricted. This means that you need to forge an alternative plan for making and eating food when your countertops are being fitted. 

This is the best way to avoid interruption to your daily life.
