The day before installation, a certified professional will call you to confirm time of arrival.
Be sure to have your old countertop and sinks removed and disconnect your cook top, and appliances prior to installation.
We also suggest you schedule a plumber and electrician for the day following the installation, so they can reconnect plumbing and wiring as required.
For areas directly affected by the installation, cover the entryways and vents to contain dust and debris.
Create a clear path through your home for easy access to the installation area and for removal of debris.
Cover furniture and floors along this path, and in areas adjacent to the installation.
Don't forget to remove all items from the cabinets.
Move all breakables, such as lamps, vases, mirrors, wall hangings, antiques or other valuables, from areas affected by installation work.

During Installation
On installation day, our licensed, insured installers will be on time, courteous and efficient. They'll have everything they need to install your new countertop. Because we want to install your countertops to your specifications, an adult over age 18 with authority to make installation decisions will need to be available during installation. For safety, keep children and pets away from the construction area.

Our professionals will install the countertop. If countertop seams are required, the installer will help you decide where to place them for the best appearance. (Stone countertops have visible seams. Acrylic countertops have inconspicuous seams.) Once the countertops are installed, our professionals will do the following:

Clean the immediate area and leave the job site in "broom-clean" condition
Provide you with a card that explains care and maintenance of your new countertop.
Forward warranty registration to Dupont Surfaces

We won't be satisfied until you are. You will have the opportunity to confirm the quality, fit and damage-free condition of your new countertop in writing.

A note on unexpected Site Conditions:

In almost all cases, the final estimate you receive will accurately reflect the condition of the installation site, and it won't be necessary to adjust cost or schedule. Occasionally, however, we discover conditions (water or termite damage, electrical or plumbing problems) during installation that must be addressed before we can complete the installation. These conditions may require additional labor and materials.

After Installation
If properly cared for, your new countertop will give you years of good service. Please review the care and maintenance information for your new countertop.
