Expert Countertop Replacement Services in West Metro Area, Minnesota

While minor damage like stains or small chips can sometimes be repaired, more extensive issues—such as cracking, warping, water damage, mold, or delamination—usually signal the need for full replacement. Additionally, if your countertops are outdated in both function and style, a replacement can dramatically improve both aesthetics and usability. We also recommend replacement if you’re updating your kitchen or bathroom layout, as resizing or refitting old counters can become more costly than starting fresh. At 4 Seasons Construction Inc., we’ll perform a full assessment to determine whether repair or replacement offers better value long-term.

We offer a wide range of materials, including granite, quartz, butcher block, laminate, marble, and solid surface options. The best choice depends on your budget, maintenance preferences, kitchen habits, and aesthetic style. For example, quartz is low-maintenance and non-porous—great for busy families—while granite offers a high-end natural look but requires periodic sealing. Butcher block offers warmth and is perfect for rustic or farmhouse-style kitchens but can scratch more easily. Our team walks you through pros and cons of each option during your consultation to help you choose the ideal match for your lifestyle.

In most cases, we recommend removing old countertops before installation. Installing new counters over existing ones can compromise structural stability, hide damage like water rot or mold, and affect appliance fit. Removing the old surface allows us to inspect your cabinets, level the surface, and ensure a secure installation with proper anchoring and support. While overlay solutions may seem faster or cheaper, they can lead to long-term problems. At 4 Seasons Construction Inc., we prioritize a clean, reliable foundation so your new countertops look great and last for years.

The actual installation typically takes 1–2 days, depending on the material and project size. However, the entire process—from initial consultation to final installation—can take 1–4 weeks, especially for custom-fabricated countertops like granite or quartz. This includes material selection, measurement, fabrication, delivery, and scheduling. We provide a clear timeline during your consultation so you know what to expect and can plan around the work. Our team works efficiently without compromising quality, ensuring a smooth process that minimizes disruption to your daily routine.

We handle sink and faucet disconnection/reconnection as part of the service if you're installing a new sink with your countertops. However, if there are appliances like cooktops or dishwashers that require gas or electrical reconnection, we may coordinate with a licensed professional to ensure everything meets code. It’s essential not to overlook the complexity of these connections during planning. At 4 Seasons Construction Inc., we ensure all aspects—plumbing, supports, and appliance integration—are accounted for before installation to avoid last-minute surprises.

When done professionally, countertop replacement should not damage existing cabinetry. Our skilled installers use specialized tools to remove and install with minimal disruption. However, in some cases, backsplashes may crack or chip during countertop removal, especially if they’re tiled very close to the counter edge. We’ll assess your kitchen beforehand and discuss options, which may include removing or replacing the backsplash to ensure a seamless finish. With our experience in cabinetry and surface work, we can also repair or modify cabinetry if needed to fit your new countertop.

Maintenance depends on material type. Quartz and solid surfaces require only mild soap and water, while granite and marble need regular sealing to prevent staining and bacterial absorption. Butcher block should be oiled periodically to maintain its water resistance and prevent cracking. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals on all surfaces, and always use cutting boards and trivets to prevent scratches or heat damage. Upon installation, 4 Seasons Construction Inc. provides detailed care instructions tailored to your countertop choice so you can protect your investment properly.

While visual upgrade is the most obvious benefit, countertop replacement can also significantly improve kitchen hygiene, functionality, and home value. New surfaces are easier to clean and maintain, which is especially important in food prep areas. Modern materials like quartz and solid surface offer non-porous protection against bacteria and stains, something older materials lack. Countertop replacement also presents an opportunity to reconfigure sink placement, overhangs, or integrate appliances for better workflow. Plus, updated countertops are a strong selling point if you’re planning to list your home.

In some cases, yes. If the sink is in good condition and fits the new countertop cutout, we can reinstall it. However, older sinks may not align with modern templates, and new materials like quartz often call for under-mount or integrated sinks for a cleaner look. We’ll inspect your current fixtures and let you know whether reuse is advisable. Many clients choose to upgrade faucets and sinks during this process since it’s easier to install them while the countertops are being replaced—saving time and cost down the road.

VNot at all. Our team takes measures to keep dust and disruption minimal, using drop cloths, plastic barriers, and dust collection tools during removal and installation. While it’s best to avoid the kitchen area while we work, you can remain in your home safely. The most inconvenient part is that your kitchen may be out of service for a day or two, especially while waiting for plumbing reconnections or sink curing. We’ll coordinate with you to schedule work around your needs and ensure minimal lifestyle interruption.
