Kitchen Countertops for Gilbert Homes

Tile counters with dark grout lines and laminate with a rolled edge are still common in 1990s Gilbert homes. Replacing them is one of the fastest ways to make the kitchen easier to clean.

The order matters: tear-out, a check that cabinets are level and strong enough, a digital or physical template, fabrication, then installation with sink and faucet holes cut to fit.

If you're keeping your cabinets, we look at the sink base and the island for water damage before anything is ordered. A heavy stone top needs a sound box underneath.

Countertop Installation Questions

How long do I go without a counter?

Usually only a few days to a couple of weeks between tear-out and install, depending on the slab and the fabricator's schedule. We sequence it to keep that gap short.

Can the old tile counter come off without damaging cabinets?

Usually, but tile is often set on a plywood and mortar bed. We remove it carefully and replace any damaged decking.

Quartz or granite for a family kitchen?

Quartz is the easier choice for stains and daily wiping. Granite tolerates heat better. Both hold up well to a busy household.

Will my backsplash need to be replaced too?

Often, yes. A new top is usually a different height or depth than tile, so the old backsplash rarely meets it cleanly.
