  • 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 laminate countertops in Appleton, WI, we recommend stopping by our showroom with a rough illustration and measurements. While you're in our showroom, we will go over the details and options and provide you with a quote at that time. If you can't stop by, we offer in-home consultations and can bring the showroom to you. Just call our office and schedule an in-home consultation. For cabinet products and services, call us and schedule an appointment with one of our cabinet designers. At that appointment, we would need some photos of the kitchen, measurements, and a list of any changes or items you'd like to add.
  • Do you fabricate the countertops/cabinets based on my measurements?

    If you hire Countertop Specialists, Inc for installation, we will come out and measure the area. If you are only buying materials, you or your installer will need to provide us with the fabrication measurements. Reach out to our team for laminate countertops in Appleton, WI.
  • Do you require an appointment to stop in?

    No appointments are needed to look at laminate countertops in Appleton, WI. Stop in during our normal business hours, and someone will help you! Appointments are required if you are interested in cabinets because this is a more involved process, and we need an hour or more to go over the details required for an estimate.

    Installing laminate countertops in Appleton, WI usually takes a couple of hours to complete but does not include plumbing or other services. Cabinet installations typically take an average of two to three days. Additional services may add to lead time, including removal, plaster work, electrical, plumbing, and tile backsplashes.
