What does countertop installation actually include?

Your written scope lists it line by line. As a baseline: Cabinets confirmed level and secure first, and tops templated to the actual room.

Do you serve all of Harris County?

Yes, Harris County is core coverage for us, Greater Third Ward included, along with the neighboring counties in the Houston metro. If a project sits outside it, we say so on the first call instead of padding the price.

Do I need a permit for countertop installation in Greater Third Ward?

It depends on the scope. Purely cosmetic work usually needs no permit, while anything structural, electrical or plumbing-related often does. We check the rules that apply to your address and handle what is required before work begins.

Do you take on small countertop installation jobs?

We do. Small jobs done right are how most of our long-term Greater Third Ward customers found us, and many come back later for the bigger scopes.

Are you licensed and insured?

Licensed & Insured. We are happy to provide current documentation before any work begins at your Greater Third Ward home.

How soon can you start in Greater Third Ward?

The walkthrough in Greater Third Ward usually happens within a few days of your call, and your quote includes a realistic start window. Weather-dependent exterior work gets scheduled honestly rather than promised and postponed.

How long will the work take?

That is set by your scope, and the quote for your Greater Third Ward job states the working days we expect. Templating before cabinets are anchored is how tops end up with gaps at the wall.
