🌟 From Dated to Dreamy: Upgrading Dark Granite to Quartz with Style
Out with the old, in with the elegant.
One of the most impactful upgrades you can make in a kitchen or bathroom remodel is replacing outdated countertops. Recently, we transformed a space by removing heavy, dark-colored granite countertops that had lost their luster over time and replaced them with stunning new quartz featuring fine veining and a demi bullnose edge profile.
Here’s how the process unfolded:
1. Consultation & Selection
We started with a detailed consultation to understand the homeowner’s vision: a lighter, more refined look to brighten the space. They selected a beautiful quartz slab with subtle veining,—perfect for adding elegance without overpowering the rest of the design.
2. Demolition & Removal
Our team carefully removed the old granite countertops. This step involves detaching plumbing fixtures and ensuring cabinets remain undamaged during the removal process.
3. Precision Templating
Using laser templating technology, we mapped out the exact dimensions for the new quartz installation. Every curve and corner was accounted for to ensure a perfect fit.
4. Fabrication with a Demi Bullnose Edge
The quartz was cut and polished with a demi bullnose edge—an elegant, gently rounded edge that’s both stylish and practical, softening the lines while maintaining a clean finish.
5. Professional Installation
Once fabricated, the new quartz countertops were expertly installed. Seam placement was optimized for invisibility, and the final fit was flawless.
6. Final Touches
Plumbing was reconnected, the space was cleaned, and a final walkthrough ensured the homeowner’s complete satisfaction.
The Result?
A brighter, modernized space with timeless appeal. The fine veining in the quartz adds visual interest without overwhelming the area, and the demi bullnose edge gives the perfect balance of classic and contemporary style.
