Gilbert Countertops
Quartz, granite and quartzite tops that replace tile and laminate, with sinks set underneath.
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.


Engineered, non-porous and consistent from slab to slab.

Natural stone; leathered and honed finishes hide fingerprints.

Eased, beveled or a thick mitered edge on the island.

Large undermount sinks with ledges for boards and racks.
| Surface | Upkeep | Hot pans | Fits best |
|---|---|---|---|
| Quartz | Wipe clean, no sealing | Use a trivet | Families who want low maintenance |
| Granite | Seal periodically | Handles heat well | Cooks who want natural stone |
| Quartzite | Seal periodically | Handles heat well | A marble look with more toughness |
| Butcher block | Oil regularly | Use a trivet | An island accent, not the sink run |
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.
Usually, but tile is often set on a plywood and mortar bed. We remove it carefully and replace any damaged decking.
Quartz is the easier choice for stains and daily wiping. Granite tolerates heat better. Both hold up well to a busy household.
Often, yes. A new top is usually a different height or depth than tile, so the old backsplash rarely meets it cleanly.
