(EstateNewsWire.com, June 06, 2012 ) Ballwin MO – DIY enthusiasts have learned that installing new granite countertops can be labor intensive, so they will hire a specialist for this portion of their kitchen remodeling project. Even the more adventurous and skilled homeowner understands that installing new kitchen cabinets and granite countertops will be the most rewarding home remodeling job they will undertake. With this in mind, many are willing to consult a professional for assistance.
Granite countertops are beautiful and durable and will last a lifetime. While installing granite countertops may be more labor intensive than traditional laminate countertops, the value added to the home is well worth the added labor.
Before installation, accurate measurements must be taken of the countertop area. Granite countertops are very heavy, so to avoid injury or damage to the surface, one should not attempt to do this alone.
Granite countertops installation requires the right tools to ensure accuracy and perfection. Common tools needed for installation are a level, caulk gun, screws and circular saw equipped with a diamond-tipped blade.
Most kitchens are not level, so installers will need to shim their cabinets to allow the granite countertops to sit level. When ready to set the granite countertops in place, silver dollar-sized drops of silicon need to be applied to the back of the granite countertop and the plywood to hold the countertop in place.
Once installed seams will need to be sealed. It is suggested by Surface Encounters (http://www.halfoffgranite.com/) kitchen countertops specialists that the DIY add colorant to the silicon sealant for a more professional finish.
DIY home improvement saves money and in today’s economy saving money on the budget is even more important. Installing one’s own granite countertops can be challenging, so area homeowners rely on Surface Encounters to get the job done more efficiently.
