Countertop problems we fix in Batavia
We install quartz, granite, quartzite and butcher block countertops in Batavia: old tops removed, cabinets checked for level, templates made, and new counters set with the sink mounted and ready for hookup.
Cracked or chipped stone
A small chip can be filled; a crack through the slab or around the sink usually means replacement.
Counters that stain easily
Unsealed granite and marble absorb oil and wine. Quartz never needs sealing; natural stone needs regular sealing.
Speckled builder granite
Builder-grade granite with a busy pattern can be replaced with a quieter quartz or a veined natural stone.
Seams that show or separate
Wide or uneven seams often come from poor templating. We plan seam placement and use color-matched epoxy for tight joints.
Not enough counter space
We can extend a run, add a peninsula or enlarge the island top with an overhang for seating, supported properly underneath.
Undermount sink coming loose
A sagging undermount sink pulls away from the counter and leaks. New tops come with properly mounted sink clips or support.
Stained or burned laminate
Burn marks, peeling edges and swollen seams can't be fixed on laminate. A stone or quartz top solves it for good.

DetailCountertop Installation in a two-story colonial from the 1990s, Batavia
This one is a two-story colonial from the 1990s in Batavia. The kitchen as it was: white Corian-style solid surface with a yellowed seam and solid-surface integrated sink. The main complaint was counters that looked dated. The result: black honed granite countertops with a tight seam, an undermount sink and a new faucet. The job covered material selection, digital templating, plus undermount sink mounting.

Countertop Installation questions from Batavia homeowners
Do you do bathroom vanity tops?
Yes — we template vanity tops with the kitchen and can use remnants of the same stone.
Will I be without a sink?
For about a day. We plan the hookup right after installation so you're not without water for long.
How long from template to installation?
Commonly one to two weeks, depending on the material and the shop schedule. We give you a date at templating.
What does countertop installation include?
Measuring, cutting, edge profile, cut-outs, tear-out, setting the tops and mounting the sink. We'll list it all in the estimate.
Can you reuse my existing sink?
If it is in good condition and fits the new cut-out, yes. Many people switch to undermount at the same time.
What is the Batavia building department phone number?
Permits go through City of Batavia Community & Economic Development - Building Division, phone 630-454-2700. When your scope needs one, we prepare the application and schedule the inspections.
What happens to the old appliance in Batavia?
Refrigerators (doors removed), water heaters (drained) and dishwashers set out by calling hauler 630-587-8282 at least one day ahead, one refuse sticker each. Freon appliances arranged through the hauler. If you'd rather not deal with it, we haul old units and debris away.
Do I need a permit for countertop installation in Batavia?
It depends on the scope. Batavia's rule in short: Building permits are required for all construction; a Residential Alteration handout is available. We handle the permit when one is needed with City of Batavia Community & Economic Development - Building Division.
