(EstateNewsWire.com, February 03, 2013 ) Chesterfield MO – Many homeowners have discovered the satisfaction and pride of accomplishment when they complete their own remodeling projects. DIY granite countertops installation is very labor intensive and requires close attention to detail. For the more adventurous and skilled homeowner installing kitchen cabinets and new countertops may be the most rewarding home improvement projects they undertake, especially when they choose granite countertops.
Granite countertops are beautiful and durable and will last the lifetime of the house, therefore, they are well worth the cost and labor. Surface Encounters experts address DIY granite countertops installation versus hiring it done.
There are many things that make DIY granite countertops installation very difficult for even the most skilled homeowner. Attention to detail is critical. Accurate measurements, including backsplash and countertop overhang must be planned with precision. Granite slabs are very heavy so the DIY will need help moving and placing them.
DIY 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. Surface Encounters (http://www.halfoffgranite.com/) granite countertops fabricators and installers have all the special tools and technology needed to complete the job quickly and efficiently.
Older homes settle and are rarely level, so be prepared to shim the cabinets to allow new 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 granite countertop in place.
After adhering the countertops to the plywood, the seams in the countertop needed to be sealed. It is suggested by Surface Encounters Granite Countertops company, that the DIY add colorant to the silicon sealant for a more professional finish.
Though DIY granite countertops installation can help the homeowner save money, it is very labor intensive, and just one imperfect measurement can result in an unsatisfactory result. Hiring the job done by Surface Encounters will ensure a perfect, high-quality job and save a lot of time for the DIY to do the easier projects like painting, window treatments and shopping for accessories.
Considering the time and work involved with installing new granite countertops, even the do-it-yourself homeowners are choosing to hire it done by Surface Encounters.
