Countertop Replacement and Removal

Swapping a dated or damaged countertop for something new, with the old top and its problems cleared out first.

Replacing a countertop means the old one comes out first, and what that reveals matters more than people expect. Cabinets settle over years, and a countertop that has been sitting on an uneven cabinet run for a decade can mask a level problem that a new template will not forgive. That gets checked and addressed before a new top goes on, not discovered after.

If the plan includes moving from a drop-in sink to an undermount, the cabinet underneath needs a substrate and support that a drop-in installation never required — the sink hangs from the countertop rather than resting on the cabinet, and the structure below has to be built for that. That is a normal part of a replacement job, but it is one more reason the old top should be removed and the situation assessed before a new slab is ordered.
