Our Step-by-Step Installation Process
Before we cut a single slab, we thoroughly outline your project with a clear, code-compliant plan that reduces downtime and surprises. We start with a site assessment to confirm dimensions, appliance clearances, substrate condition, and access paths. We document utility connections, power sources, and ventilation points to prevent conflicts and comply with local codes.
Next, we manage timeline coordination. You'll get a complete schedule synchronizing all project phases from demolition to installation, allowing all teams to maintain their schedules. We template with precision, verify critical installation elements, and proceed with fabrication with edge profiles and cutouts Onofrio's Top Shop approved by you.
During the installation process, we safeguard all flooring surfaces, position and balance foundation components, dry-fit the slabs, fasten them to meet requirements, ensure sealed connections, and reattach permitted fixtures. To complete the process, we thoroughly clean, conduct a thorough inspection, and guide you on maintenance procedures and warranty coverage.

Care Instructions for Lasting Beauty
Just as meticulously we apply to installation, we set you up to maintain your countertops functioning and looking like day one. Quickly clean spills using neutral cleaning solution and a soft cloth; stay away from harsh cleaners that could scratch sealants and finishes. Stick to manufacturer recommendations for resealing; in frequently used kitchens, consider applying daily sealing sprays for natural stone to improve stain resistance betwixt full seal coats. Utilize cutting boards to protect edges and avoid micro-chipping.
Prioritize protecting surfaces from heat. Place hot pans on protective trivets, as heat shock might lead to surface damage. Position silicone mats near cooking areas and coffee stations. Ensure grout and caulk seals remain solid-inspect every three months and repair separations to maintain water protection. When repairs are needed, reach out to us; our services include matching fills, addressing etching, and validating finish compliance.
