Kitchen Countertops, From Full Slab to Final Install
Granite, quartz, marble, and more, chosen at a real showroom and installed by the same team that designs your kitchen. No stone yard, no separate fabricator, no handoffs. You pick the slab, we handle everything after.
A countertop store inside a full kitchen and bath company
Since 2011 we have designed and built more than 1,000 kitchens and bathrooms, and countertops are at the center of nearly every one. That makes us a different kind of countertop company: a trusted countertop retailer, a cabinet store, and a remodeling contractor under one name. The people who sell you the granite or quartz also know exactly what sits underneath it. Whether you want new kitchen countertops on your existing cabinets, matching cabinets and countertops together, or a bathroom vanity top, you work with one dedicated designer who owns the result from slab selection to the final bead of silicone.
Most countertop projects pass through three companies. Yours needs one.
The usual route runs through a stone yard that sells the slab, a fabricator who cuts it, and an installer who fits it, and when a seam lands wrong or an edge chips, each one points at the next. We built USA Cabinet Store the other way around. The showroom, the measurements, the fabrication, and the installation crew all answer to the same dedicated designer, so there is nobody to pass the blame to.
A real showroom
See the actual slab you’re buying
14 showrooms with full slabs and large-format samples of granite, quartz, marble, and Dekton. A three-inch chip can’t show you how a busy pattern reads across ten feet of counter. A slab can.
One dedicated designer
The same person, slab to install
The designer who helps you choose the material also builds your 3D design, plans the seams, and schedules our own installers. One phone number from the first visit to the final walkthrough.
Single-source accountability
Cabinets & countertops, one company
Because the cabinets and the countertops come from the same team, the measurements match, the timelines line up, and one company stands behind how they work together.
It’s the difference between buying a slab and buying a finished kitchen counter.
“When the stone seller, the fabricator, and the installer are three different businesses, the homeowner is left managing the gaps between them. We built USA Cabinet Store to remove those gaps. You work with one dedicated designer who owns your project from the first 3D rendering to the final walkthrough — the countertops, the cabinets, and the installation are all ours. That’s what single-source accountability really means: one team you can hold responsible for the whole kitchen.”

Why homeowners hesitate
Remove the uncertainty before the slab is cut
Countertops are an expensive purchase you live with for decades, and most horror stories trace back to the same few gaps. Here is how our process closes them.
“I don’t know what a fair price even looks like.”
Itemized, per-square-foot clarity
Your estimate breaks out material, fabrication, cutouts, removal, and install, so you can compare it line by line against any other quote.
“The little sample looked nothing like the full slab.”
Choose from the actual slab
Busy patterns read completely differently across ten feet. At our showrooms you view full slabs and large-format samples, and we tag the exact slab you approved for your job.
“Quartz or granite? Everyone tells me something different.”
A designer, not a salesperson
Your designer compares heat, stains, sealing, and cost for how your family actually cooks, and puts the recommendation in writing.
“The stone yard and the fabricator blamed each other.”
One company owns the whole job
Slab, cutting, and installation are all ours. If anything is off, you call one designer, and it gets fixed without a three-way argument.
“They installed something we never agreed to.”
Drawings signed before cutting
Edge profile, overhang, backsplash height, and sink style are confirmed in a written scope with drawings. The shop cuts what you signed, nothing else.
“I’m scared a seam will land right at the sink.”
Seams planned and shown to you
You see the seam layout on your template before fabrication. We place seams where they hide best, and you approve the plan first.
“How long will my kitchen be out of commission?”
A schedule you can plan around
Fabrication runs about one to two weeks after templating, installation usually takes one day, and counters are ready for normal use in about 24 hours.
“Will my old cabinets even support new stone?”
Checked by actual cabinet experts
We are a cabinet store first. Before templating we confirm your cabinets are level and sound, and we reinforce them in the same project if they need it.
“Who fixes it if something chips next year?”
A local team that answers
Manufacturer warranties on engineered surfaces plus our own installation workmanship guarantee, backed by a showroom near you rather than a phone tree.

FAQ
Countertop questions, answered
Quick answers about cost, timelines, quartz vs granite, seams, and maintenance.
How much do new kitchen countertops cost?
Most full kitchen countertop replacements land between $2,500 and $7,500 installed. Popular quartz and granite typically run $2,500 to $5,000 for a standard kitchen, while premium quartzite, porcelain, and marble run $3,000 to $7,500. Large kitchens and luxury stone can reach $7,000 to $15,000+ at $100 to $250+ per square foot. Your exact number depends on the material, the square footage, edge profiles, cutouts, and whether the old tops need to come out. A free consultation gets you an itemized estimate. See our 2026 kitchen remodeling cost guide for the full breakdown.
How long does countertop installation take?
Once you approve the design and estimate, we template your kitchen with precise measurements, then fabrication typically takes about one to two weeks. Installation itself is usually finished in a single day, and your counters are ready for normal use within about 24 hours, once the adhesives and silicone cure. If your project includes new cabinets, we set the cabinets first and template on top of them, which is how the measurements stay exact.
Which is better, quartz or granite countertops?
Both are excellent, and the right answer depends on how you cook. Quartz is engineered, non-porous, and nearly maintenance-free, though it is sensitive to high heat. Granite is a natural stone that handles hot pans well and hides wear, but its porous surface needs periodic sealing. At a showroom you can compare full slabs of both side by side, and your designer will walk you through how each one behaves in a busy kitchen.
Can I replace my countertops without replacing my cabinets?
Usually, yes. If your cabinets are level, structurally sound, and laid out the way you want, new countertops are one of the highest-impact updates you can make. Because we are a cabinet store first, we inspect your cabinets before templating and tell you honestly whether they will carry the new stone. If a base needs reinforcement or a filler panel, we handle it in the same project instead of sending you to another contractor.
Do you remove my old countertops?
Yes. Removal of the existing tops, disconnecting and reconnecting the sink and faucet, and hauling away the old material are all part of the installation scope. You will see each item on your written estimate before work begins, so there are no surprise charges on install day.
Where will the seams in my countertop go?
Seam placement is planned, not improvised. During templating we map your kitchen digitally, and your designer reviews where any seams will fall before the slab is cut. We place seams where they are least visible and never in the middle of a sink run when the slab allows it. You approve the layout before fabrication starts.
Do quartz countertops need to be sealed?
No. Quartz is non-porous, so it never needs sealing and wipes clean with mild soap and water. Natural stones are different: granite should be resealed periodically, and marble needs more careful maintenance because it can etch. Your designer will give you straightforward care guidance for whichever material you choose.
What countertop brands do you carry?
We carry Cambria, Silestone, Caesarstone, and Q Premium Natural Quartz in engineered quartz, Dekton ultra-compact surfaces, and a wide selection of natural granite and marble. Full slabs and large-format samples are on display at our showrooms, so you can see the real material, not a three-inch chip.
Do you offer free estimates and 3D design?
Yes. Your consultation, itemized estimate, and a 3D design showing the countertops with your cabinets are free and come with no obligation. You can meet a designer at a showroom, in your home, or virtually.
