Measuring for the Countertop Template
The cabinets can't be installed until the electricians and plumbers are finished. Once the measurements are taken, you might have to wait from 7 days to 7 weeks for the countertops to be fabricated, depending on your supplier.
I chose quartz for my countertops because it is heat resistant and holds up better than granite. Besides, granite might lose its trendy appeal. Quartz is a bit more expensive, but when you're thinking about not remodeling your kitchen again for maybe another 50 years, the material you choose is important.
After my cabinets were installed and the template measured, the quartz fabricators told me it would take three weeks to receive the finished product. I told them I was switching to granite from another supplier. Suddenly, the quartz installers found time in their schedule to accommodate my request to deliver my countertops within five days. Funny how that works.
