Can I install countertops myself?

<div>Since knowing how to install countertops correctly requires in-depth knowledge and understanding of the topic, we recommend hiring a professional countertops installer near you to work on this project. Kitchen countertops are a high-visibility investment, meaning mistakes made during DIY installation will be easy to spot, may cause damage, and potentially require re-purchasing materials. Professional countertop installers have the skills, tools, and experience to place your new kitchen feature safely and correctly.</div>

What are my options when it comes to countertops?

<div>There are several <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/countertop-types-materials.htm">countertop options</a> available to fit your lifestyle and needs. <ul><li>Granite countertops are durable and come in a variety of colors.</li><li>Soapstone countertops are prone to scratches and best in smaller kitchens.</li><li>Marble countertops are less durable than granite but a good option for busy kitchens.</li><li>Slate countertops are stain-resistant, making them easy to clean.</li><li>Limestone countertops must be sealed often to prevent scratches.</li><li>Acrylic countertops cost less than granite while still providing durability.</li><li>Laminate countertops are the most affordable but chip and fade faster.</li><li>Wood countertops need monthly sealing to maintain.</li></ul></div>

How much do countertops cost?

<div>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-install-countertops.htm#cost-by-material">cost to install countertops</a> is $3,105 on average. This project cost can range from $400 to $8,500, depending on the material, edging, and countertop size. Laminate countertops are generally the most cost-efficient, ranging from $8 to $27 per square foot. On the other hand, slate countertops are considered more luxurious and range from $30 to $90 per square foot. There are also countertop materials priced between those two, including stainless steel, granite, Corian, and wood.</div>

How can I save money on countertop installation?

<div>The best way to save money on countertop installation is to choose an affordable material. For example, if you have a busy kitchen and need durability, choose a more affordable but lasting material like <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/quartz-vs-granite-countertops.htm">granite countertops</a>. Likewise, if you don't use your countertops often, you can use a softer material that costs less than more sturdy ones. Another way to cut costs is to remove and dispose of the existing countertops yourself, if possible. That way, countertop installers can get straight to placing the new feature, reducing labor costs.</div>

How long does it take to install a countertop?

<div>It typically takes one to three days to install kitchen countertops. A few factors like size and material impact the time it takes to install a countertop. For example, if you have two slabs of countertop material, it won’t take as long to install as placing several custom pieces of countertop.This timelines allows for removing existing countertops and any plumbing disconnect and reconnect that needs to happen. Plan on the higher end of the time frame if you've chosen custom countertops versus large slabs.</div>

"I hired JLM Home Solutions to install all my interior doors and closets including frames/casings in my upstairs. Jason was a horrible person the entire time I hired him. He acted like a nice person just to get hired. I regret hiring him. Unfortunately I had signed a contract by the time I found out he was no good. Every time I brought up something that was not done right, he’d yell and raise his voice at me. He’s very rude and unprofessional with the worst customer service. He was rude on text, rude on phone and rude in person. Jared, I guess one of his employees was a great person, very polite and did an amazing job. He worked on the project in a professional manner. He didn’t come back though to finish the project because Jason sent another person instead, David, who did an awful job. Jason didn’t want to hear it that David’s work was not the greatest. I had to put a stop payment after I found out one of the closet doors wasn’t installed right and other things that were wrong. Jason got so upset that he had to come back to fix the problem after I told him I didn’t want David. Jason came to my house but failed to fix the problem still. Instead he made me feel threatened in my own house. He was all in my face yelling at me saying nothing was wrong with the closet. Even my little dog was scared. I had to call my daughter and son to come over because I was so terrified that he was maybe going to hurt me. I stayed on the phone all the time while he was there so someone could hear his abusive behavior. That day after Jason left, I had to get a second opinion on the closet. Another contractor couldn’t believe the way the closet was installed and for Jason to insist it was okay. He left the old frame on and didn’t want to here when I mentioned it. I’ll have this closet removed and a new one with new frame installed the right way. I had to insist Jason deduct some money for that closet from the balance owed to him. A couple of days later, I noticed my kitchen door they installed still had cracks on the inside frame close to the lock. I had mentioned that to him. I texted him to let him know with pictures showing the cracks. Now Jason won’t respond to my text, email or phone. I asked him to send one of his guys to fix the door. Not him because I don’t want him around me. I’ve tried everything to get to him. I know he’s ignoring me. I paid him so much money for this project. If I don’t hear from him I’ll have no choice but to file small claims. He cannot leave my door like that after I paid him so much money and thinks he can just get away with it. If there was an option of zero stars, that’s what I’d have given JLM."

"We have been struggling for five years to find a good tile setter for our cottage in Union Pier, MI. Residing in Chicago and managing contractors from a far is challenging! How often do you think we heard "Oh yeah, I do tile too!" and it not be true. Finding Doug and his team was a Godsend. He returned our call, came by when he said he would and did a job beyond our expectations! There were no designers or plans but Doug's years of experience and his talented team worked within our budget and time frame and brought it together! It's a beautiful instillation!
