How countertops are measured and installed correctly

The installation begins with precise measurements taken after cabinetry is secured and leveled. In Gainesville homes with older framing or uneven floors, Done W Right Painting & Renovation accounts for variations in cabinet height and wall alignment so countertops sit flush without gaps or overhangs that tilt. Fabrication happens off-site, and installation occurs once all cabinetry and plumbing are in place.

Once the countertops are installed, you will notice seams that align tightly, edges that meet walls cleanly, and surfaces that resist staining and scratching better than laminate or worn stone. Cutouts for sinks and cooktops are made with precision so fixtures drop in without gaps where water can seep underneath. Edges are finished smooth, and corners are cut cleanly without chipping.

Stone countertops such as granite and quartz offer high resistance to heat and scratches, while solid-surface materials can be seamlessly integrated and repaired if damaged. Both options are installed to manufacturer standards, with proper support underneath and sealant applied where needed. The team works carefully around plumbing, electrical outlets, and backsplash tile to ensure all transitions stay clean and watertight.

Most homeowners want to know which materials hold up best, how seams are placed, and whether existing cabinets need to be replaced at the same time. These are a few of the practical concerns that come up before a countertop installation begins.

What to know before choosing and installing countertops

What countertop materials hold up best in kitchens?
Granite and quartz are highly resistant to heat, scratches, and staining, making them durable choices for kitchens with heavy use. Solid-surface materials offer seamless installations and can be repaired if damaged, which is helpful in high-traffic areas.
How do you hide or minimize seams in countertops?
Done W Right Painting & Renovation places seams in less visible areas such as corners or near sinks, and aligns the stone grain so seams blend as closely as possible. Tight fabrication and careful installation keep seams from separating over time.
Can you install new countertops without replacing cabinets?
Yes, new countertops can be installed on existing cabinets as long as the cabinets are level, sturdy, and properly aligned. If cabinets are damaged or out of alignment, they may need repair or replacement before countertops are templated.
How long does countertop installation take?
Most installations take one day after fabrication is complete. Measurements are taken first, countertops are fabricated off-site, and installation happens once cabinetry and plumbing are in place and ready for final connections.
What happens if cabinets are not level?
Done W Right Painting & Renovation levels cabinets before templating countertops, so surfaces sit flat without gaps or wobbling. This is common in older Gainesville homes where floors have settled or walls are out of plumb.

If your countertops are worn, damaged, or no longer fit your kitchen or bathroom layout, Done W Right Painting & Renovation can walk you through material options and help you plan an installation that integrates cleanly with your cabinetry and daily use.
