Make the critical decisions while they can still be changed

We help customers select material around budget, use, maintenance, design goals, indoor or outdoor location, slab size, and fabrication risk. For natural stone, we also review fissures, veins, and weak areas before cutting whenever possible.

Vein direction and visual flow are planned across countertops, islands, waterfall panels, seams, and adjoining pieces. The objective is a design that makes visual and technical sense before the stone is committed.

02

The precision stage of the project

Template confirms actual field measurements, walls that are out of square, sink and cooktop cutouts, faucet holes, overhangs, seams, backsplash dimensions, island geometry, waterfall pieces, access, and final layout conditions.

Before template, cabinets should be installed, secured, and level. Appliance dimensions, sink choice, cooktop specifications, faucet locations, and the final layout should be available or confirmed.

03

Plan seams, support, access, and the final fit

Installation may include cabinet and floor protection, dry fit, field verification, seam alignment and finishing, appropriate leveling or shimming, approved setting methods, sink coordination, backsplash, waterfall panels, final inspection, and cleanup.

Seams are minimized whenever practical but may be required by slab size, access, structure, fabrication constraints, aesthetics, or budget. Overhangs and unsupported stone are reviewed so the customer understands the appropriate support.

  • Optional existing-countertop removal
  • Plumbing coordination when included in scope
  • Trusted electrical or cooktop coordination when needed
  • Clear separation of stone and trade responsibilities

A realistic timeline and clear responsibility

Most standard projects move through fabrication and installation in approximately 3–5 business days once the slab is in Backup Services’ possession, subject to project conditions. An expected installation window is communicated after template.

Backup Services provides a one-year workmanship warranty. Coverage applies to our workmanship and does not automatically extend to natural-stone characteristics, structural movement, abuse, third-party work, or conditions outside our control.

Project questions, answered clearly

Material, fabrication, and installation details are confirmed for the actual scope and jobsite before work begins.

What must be ready before template?+

Cabinets should be installed and level, appliance dimensions confirmed, sink selected, cooktop specifications available, faucet locations known, and the final layout reviewed.

Can you remove the existing countertop?+

Yes, removal may be included as an optional scope item after site review.

Do you handle plumbing and electrical work?+

Plumbing may be included or coordinated when agreed in the project scope. Trusted professionals may be coordinated for electrical or cooktop work, with responsibilities clearly separated.

What happens if cabinets are not level?+

We explain the condition before proceeding. Practical correction may be possible within scope, but material misalignment should be corrected by a qualified professional before stone installation.
