- Measure Appointment
- This is when things get real! Our team will schedule both your measure and install appointments two weeks apart on most projects. During your measure, we’ll take laser measurements to electronically map your space to ensure an accurate fit of your new countertops upon installation. During our measure appointment, it’s important to have your countertops cleared off before our Measure Technician arrives. This appointment is extremely important as we finalize the design intent so it is critical the decision maker is present for the duration of the appointment.
