Watch This BEFORE buying Kitchen Countertops! (Everything You Need to Know)

Although I hate to say it... you really shouldn't DIY your own kitchen countertops — at least not if you're hoping to increase your home's value. In this video, I'll explain why most DIY-friendly countertop materials (like laminate, wood, or concrete) just don’t cut it when it comes to resale. If you want to actually boost your home’s value, you're probably going to need to invest in one of the following countertop materials: Marble Granite Quartz Porcelain Composite (like Dekton, which I personally installed in my kitchen) First, I'll go through each countertop material and list the Pros and Cons of Each. Next, I'll explain why I chose Dekton Awake for my kitchen (https://www.cosentino.com/usa/colors/...) over other options. I am also going to show you every step of the counter installation process. Here is a summary below: 1. Planning Before you can have kitchen counters installed, you need to complete the cabinet installation. Cabinets need to be installed for two reasons. One, it will help you establish the Square Footage of counter needed (for cost planning). Two, the counter installer will need the cabinets in place before they can take measurements. 2. Ordering To get your counters ordered you are typically going to go into a big box store and make a selection based on what is available. Next, you will set down with a countertop designer and they will prepare a layout drawing and give you a ballpark price. Once you pay the deposit, they will schedule the measurment appaointment. 3. Measuring Someone form the Counter fabrication company will go to your home and take measurements using a laser. They will then generate a counter layout drawing for approval. Once you approve the drawing, they will begin fabrication. 4. Fabrication At this stage, the counter fabrication company will cut your slabs based on the measurements taken. Typically, this cutting is done with a large wet saw or a water Jet. 4. Installation With the counters fabricated, the installation company will arrive at your kitchen and install the counters in place. This usually takes anywhere from 1-4 hours depending on the complexity of your kitchen. 5. Enjoy Congratulations! Enjoy your new countertops!
