Countertop Empire
The material library

Five surfaces, one standard of fabrication.

Every countertop is quoted after we template your kitchen in person. The same crew that measures your kitchen fabricates and installs it, whether you choose engineered quartz, natural granite or marble, or value porcelain and laminate.

All materials
The Countertop Empire standard

The standard we work to on every kitchen.

A countertop job goes wrong in predictable ways: a lippy seam, a chipped sink cutout, a wall scribe with a visible gap, a subcontractor you never meet. These are the commitments we make on every install to make sure none of that happens in your kitchen.

01 / Insurance

Licensed and insured

Every crew member works under our business registration, liability insurance and provincial workers compensation coverage.

02 / Scope

One clear written scope

After templating you get a single written scope covering the slab, fabrication, edge, cutouts, removal and installation, agreed before any work begins.

03 / Templating

Laser-templated to your kitchen

We digitally template once the cabinets are set and level, so overhangs, the wall scribe and cutouts are exact rather than estimated.

04 / Fabrication

CNC-cut and machine-polished

Slabs are cut on a CNC and bridge saw, cutouts machined, and edges ground and polished in-house — not hand-cut on site.

05 / Seams

Colour-matched, tight seams

Seams are planned for the least visible, least stressed spot, then colour-matched and drawn tight so they read as a fine line.

06 / Sign-off

You approve before we finish

Nothing is final until you have walked the installed kitchen with our crew and signed off on the fit, the seams and the finish.

How it works

Three steps from tired counters to installed stone.

Full process
STEP 01

Choose your material and get a free quote

Tell us your rough measurements and the look you want. We help you choose between quartz, granite, marble, porcelain and laminate, point you to slabs where the stone is natural, and give you a clear written quote. There is no obligation.

STEP 02

We template and fabricate

Once your cabinets are set and level, we laser-template the kitchen so every measurement is exact. The slab is cut on a CNC and bridge saw, seams are planned for the least visible spot, cutouts are machined and the edge is polished to your chosen profile.

STEP 03

We install and you sign off

We remove your old countertops, dry-fit the new pieces, then set, level, seam and secure them. Seams are colour-matched and sealed, the sink is fitted, and we walk the kitchen with you before the job is complete.

Homeowner reviews

What homeowners say after the install.

Verified after install sign-off
★★★★★
We had quartz installed across the whole kitchen and the result is better than we expected. The crew templated with a laser, the seam on the island is genuinely hard to find, and the price on the invoice was exactly what we were quoted. Clean, careful and on time.

★★★★★
The quartz countertops look absolutely stunning! The installation team was professional, punctual, and paid close attention to every detail. The seams are nearly invisible, the edges are perfectly finished, and the final price was exactly what they quoted—no hidden charges. Highly recommended!

★★★★★
Choosing our granite in person made all the difference. The movement we loved runs right across the island exactly how we wanted, because they planned the cut around it. Hot pans straight off the stove, no worries. Great communication the whole way.

Common questions

Before you book

How do you quote a countertop job?

We quote after templating your kitchen in person, so the figure reflects your actual layout rather than an estimate. The written quote covers the slab, fabrication, edge profile, cutouts, removal of your old tops and installation, so everything is in one place. Send a few photos and rough measurements and we will arrange a free in-home template.

How long does countertop installation take?

From template to install is typically seven to ten days, with the fabrication happening in our shop during that window. The install itself is usually a single day for an average kitchen. You are without your old counters only for the short gap between removal and setting the new ones on install day.

Which countertop material is best?

It depends on how you use the kitchen. Quartz is best for zero maintenance and a consistent look. Granite is best for heat tolerance and a one-of-a-kind natural slab. Marble is best for a feature island where you accept some patina. Porcelain is best for heat, UV and outdoor use, and laminate is best when the priority is a tight budget. We help you choose at the quote.

Do I have to visit a stone yard to pick my slab?

For natural stone — granite and marble — yes, and it is worth it. Because every slab is unique, choosing the actual piece means no surprises and lets you plan how the movement runs across your island. For engineered quartz and porcelain, a showroom sample is reliable because the pattern is consistent from slab to slab.

Do quartz and granite need to be sealed?

Quartz and porcelain are non-porous and never need sealing. Granite and marble are natural stone and are sealed on installation, then resealed periodically — every one to three years for granite depending on the stone. Sealing is a quick ten-minute job, and a simple water-drop test tells you when it is due.

Can I put a hot pan on my countertop?

On granite and porcelain, yes — both are highly heat-resistant. On quartz, no — the resin binder can scorch, so use a trivet. On laminate, definitely not, as heat will damage the surface. If setting hot pans straight down matters to you, granite or porcelain is the surface to choose.

Which cities in Canada do you serve?

Our head office is in Guelph, Ontario, and we work across the Greater Toronto Area including Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Oakville, Vaughan and Hamilton. We also operate in Ottawa, Montreal, Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, Winnipeg, Halifax and a growing list of other cities. Send us your postal code and we will confirm coverage and book your template.

Do you remove and dispose of my old countertops?

Yes. On install day our crew removes your existing countertops, sets and seams the new ones, refits the sink and cleans up, and we take the old material away with us. You are without a working counter only for the short gap between removal and setting the new tops, usually the same day.
