FAQs

Countertop Specialists, Inc

  • Do you guys supply just the materials if I wanted to install the countertops, cabinets, etc myself?

    We can provide materials for self-installation. You will need to supply the measurements for the products you want fabricated. Our team will then order the materials and fabricate the products according to the measurements you provide.
  • What do I need to get a quote from you?

    For countertops, we recommend visiting our showroom with a rough sketch and measurements. During your visit, we'll discuss details and options, providing a quote on-site. If you're unable to visit, we offer in-home consultations. For cabinet products and services, please schedule an appointment with one of our cabinet designers. You'll need to provide photos of the kitchen, measurements, and a list of desired changes or additions.
  • Do you fabricate the countertops/cabinets based on my measurements?

    If you engage our installation services, we will conduct on-site measurements. For material-only purchases, you or your installer will need to provide us with the precise fabrication measurements.
  • Do you require an appointment to stop in?

    No appointment is necessary to view countertops. You're welcome to visit during our regular business hours, and a staff member will assist you. For cabinets, appointments are required due to the more complex nature of the process, typically requiring an hour or more to discuss estimate details.
  • How long does the installation take?

    Countertop installations generally require a few hours, excluding plumbing or additional services. Cabinet installations typically take 2-3 days on average. Additional services such as removal, plaster work, electrical, plumbing, and tile backsplashes may extend the lead time.
  • How long does it take to receive materials?

    Stock laminate countertop materials usually take 2-2.5 weeks to order and fabricate, depending on when the order is placed. Cabinet lead times range from 6-10 weeks, subject to change. For the most current lead times, please contact our office.
  • Where are the cabinet materials produced/made?

    Our cabinet lines through ww wood products are manufactured in the united states. Their production facility is situated in dudley, missouri.
  • What is the average lead time from when you install the cabinets to when the countertops will be installed?

    For laminate countertops purchased with cabinets, we can install them on the final day of cabinet installation. We'll bring the countertop materials and install them immediately after the cabinets, ensuring a functional kitchen on the same day. For countertops purchased elsewhere or made from different materials like quartz, the average lead time is 3-4 weeks following cabinet installation.
  • How do laminate countertops compare to quartz or granite in price?

    Laminate countertops are the most economical option. They typically cost approximately one-third to one-half the price of granite or quartz countertops.
  • Is the pricing for laminate countertops done by square footage?

    The pricing for laminate countertops is not solely based on square footage. It depends on various factors including color selection, edge style, and configuration. Total square footage alone is insufficient for providing an accurate estimate.
