What's included
The counter is the schedule.
In almost every kitchen we do, counter fabrication is the longest wait. Planning around it up front is the difference between a three-week kitchen and a five-week one.
Backsplash
- Subway, large-format and mosaic
- Herringbone and stack-bond patterns
- Full-height behind the range
- Outlet and switch cuts planned
- Grout and sealing
Around it
- Cabinet levelling before templating
- Sink and tap fitted by a licensed plumber
- Electrical adjustments by a licensed contractor
- Trim and scribes
What it costs
What moves the number.
Typical range
Ask for a figure
We publish real numbers rather than "it depends" — but only once they're ours to publish. Our written ranges are being finalised; call and we'll give you one over the phone in a minute. What moves the number:
- Linear footage and how many cut-outs
- Material tier, which varies enormously slab to slab
- Edge profile and any waterfall ends
- Backsplash area and pattern
- Whether cabinets need levelling before templating
- Removal and disposal of the existing counter

Questions
Questions, answered.
Quartz or granite?
Quartz is engineered, non-porous, consistent slab to slab and needs no sealing — which is why it has become the default. Granite is natural, so every slab differs, and it needs periodic sealing. Choose granite because you want that particular stone, not because you expect it to perform better.
How long after cabinets before counters go in?
Templating happens once the cabinets are set and level, and fabrication is typically one to two weeks after that. It is normally the longest single wait in a kitchen, which is why it goes into the schedule at the start rather than being discovered in the middle.
Can you do just the backsplash?
Yes, and it is one of the highest-impact small jobs in a house. A day or two of work changes a kitchen more than most people expect.
Herringbone and mosaic — much more work?
Noticeably. Every angled cut is handled twice and produces waste, and mosaic sheets need careful alignment so the grid does not drift. Worth it, but price it as the extra labour it is.
