At installation, we ask that you also clear the work area of any objects and clear a path for the installers to carry the granite. The installation phase can take the better part of a day and can require some final cutouts to be made in your home. Please keep in mind that this is a major remodeling job, and there may be some residual dust over the next couple of days. Be sure to check items left in cabinets. We recommend the drawers be removed. Items under the cook-top and sink cabinet must be removed to allow access. Some dust can result even though our installers are equipped to catch the majority of it. Granite, if not resin coated, is sealed at the time of installation.
