Preparation is key to a successful countertop installation. Cabinets must be level to avoid cracking the stone. If the installer is not handling plumbing, ensure all fixtures are removed. Verify that the work area is accessible and that the flooring is protected. Review the final template to ensure all cutouts for sinks and appliances are accurately marked to avoid installation delays.
