Countertop cuttingand countertop retrofitting can be a very economical way to bypass the high cost of retail countertops. One of the biggest drawbacks when it comes to this industry is the sky high cost of new countertop materials. It’s not surprising when you factor in the manufacturing, marketing, and shipment of extremely heavy, semi-precious stone slabs that still need to be fabricated upon arrival. This is bad news to people trying to update the countertops in their kitchens and bathrooms for the market, or just wanting a nice upgrade to fall in love with all over again, but we have good news for those of you in this predicament!

How much does it cost to cut countertops?

If you are a little flexible and keen on saving huge, probably between 60-70%, this is a great option to consider! Vancouver Island, specifically greater Victoria (James Bay, Oak Bay, Langford, Sidney, and Sooke), has so much construction going on that great deals can be found at online marketplaces (Used Victoria and Facebook Marketplace) for used stone countertops. Beautiful granite and quartz countertops are thrown away almost daily by residential and commercial properties, most of which are still in great, usable condition.

After our initial contact, we can start looking for your new to you, gently used granite, quartz, or even marble. We are able to help you search online or even at many of our partner shops for heavily discounted material. After we locate the desired materials, we support you with the project from start to finish.

• Safe, reliable removal of the old material (wood, laminate, stone, tile, etc)
• Pick up and deliver the new stone countertops
• Cut, shape, and polish your countertops
• Install your new stone countertops
• Dispose of your old countertops

We are able to do your countertop cutting in Victoria BC to the requested sizes provided by you, but for the best results we recommend having us do the measure and template to guarantee the best fit and finish. A lot of the time used countertops will already have a sink cut out, this can be transferred for use in the new location or we can cut out and polish a new sink opening for you. After the fabrication is finished, we offer a fully guaranteed installation of both the countertops and undermount sink.

After our countertop cutting, retrofitting, and installation you will only need a plumber to hook up the faucet and drains.  Give us a call or text to chat about your project.
