Timing. Is your granite countertop installation part of a larger kitchen project? Or is it the only work you're planning to do? Plan ahead before you begin, and take into account your specific needs and how you use your kitchen. This can be a great way to upgrade, but you don't want to your beautiful countertop to simply make the rest of your kitchen look worse by contrast.

Know your budget when looking to install granite countertops. You will need to take into account any demolition or labor that needs to be done before the project starts, as well as the overall costs of materials and labor. If you are able to do demolition and cleanup yourself, you'll be able to save some money.

You will also want to consider the various types and qualities of granite. Do you prefer granite slabs or granite tiles? What types of corners and edges are you looking for—rounded, beveled, or square? How thick should the granite slab be? Are you looking for the thickest, most deluxe granite available, or are you interested in a simpler, thinner counter? Granite is very durable, so this is really a matter of aesthetics rather than practicality. These issue and any other questions and concerns you have should be addressed during your initial consultation with Wirtz professionals.

Consider your color choices. If your kitchen is small, choose a lighter granite that goes with your cabinets but won't weigh the room down. With white or off-white cabinetry, for instance, a pale gray or variegated pale gold works well. If your cabinetry is darker, a lighter color can also work well for contrast. Reddish and golden tones work well with cherry. In a large kitchen with light cabinetry, a black or deep green can be a very attractive choice. Spend some time thinking about sample granite colors before you commit, and take into account your cabinet, floor,and paint colors. With a kitchen redesign, your countertops should be the final item you choose.

Consider your backsplash—should it be granite as well, or are you thinking of mixing it up a little with some custom tile work? Either way, Wirtz can help you with your granite countertop installation in San Diego . Call today to get started with your project.
