How To Replace Kitchen Countertop

Article Category: Real Estate

Author Name: Ginger Jackson

Kitchen countertops add plenty of function to the room, but they also add aesthetic appeal. If you feel your kitchen counters are starting to look old and worn, you might want to select a replacement. Plenty of materials are available on the market and there are many different options in the details of those materials. You can select and pre-order some materials that require professional installation. You can also think about learning how to replace kitchen countertop materials on your own.

If you choose to replace kitchen countertop yourself, read through any manufacturing instructions on the materials you have chosen first. Make sure you have all of the tools you need and skills required before you proceed. Once you are confident in your skills and the items you have on hand, remove the sink from the old countertop by cutting into the caulk line around the sink. You will want to turn the hot and cold water valves off and disconnect the water lines. Once the sink drain has been disconnected from the drain pipe, pry the sink away from the countertop and remove it from its hole.

Next, you will want to turn off the main electrical and gas power so you can remove the cooktop. Unscrew the connections, cut the lining, and pry the cooktop from the countertop with a crowbar. Once these items are removed, you can more easily measure the surface of the countertop. If you already have cabinets in place, you can use their measurements as a template. It is a good idea to sketch the kitchen out on a sheet of paper and note the measurements on the sketch as you go along. Note the location of the sink, oven, fridge, and other items.

It is always a good idea to have professional installers double check your measurements before you order your materials. If you make a mistake yourself, you will have to pay for it. If the professional make a mistake, they will have to order the replacement items at their own cost. You will also want to discuss items like backsplash designs, and other finishing details with the measurement and sales teams.

Once the new countertop materials are in your possession, you can go forward with removing the old counters. Score any caulking that sits around the counters and pry them away from the walls. Many cabinets are screwed into counters and you will need to remove those screws before you can remove the counters. After the old counters are out of the way, clean the walls and cabinets so you can secure the new counters without any caulk or adhesive residue getting in the way. Follow the instructions for the manufacturer and install the new counters to get a complete replace kitchen countertop.
