To ensure we provide the best estimate possible, accurate measurements and a clear understanding of your project are essential. By following the steps below, you can get a precise quote and avoid surprises.
Why Accurate Measurements Matter
Precision in measurements helps determine the exact amount of material required, minimizing waste and saving costs. More importantly, it ensures that your new countertops, fireplaces, or accent pieces fit seamlessly into your space, creating a beautiful and cohesive look.
What You’ll Need to Get Started
- A Measuring Tape: A standard measuring tape (preferably in inches) is ideal for most countertop and fireplace projects.
- Graph Paper or a Drawing App: While a rough sketch is sufficient, a clear layout drawing helps in understanding your space better. Include any cutouts for sinks, stoves, outlets, etc.
- Access to Your Project Area: Clear the space of clutter so all edges and corners are accessible for precise measurement.
Steps for Taking Measurements
Start with the Basics
Measure the length and width of the area where your new stone slab will be installed. If you’re working with countertops, measure each section separately, including islands and peninsulas.Include Cutouts and Edges
Take note of any areas where you’ll need cutouts, such as for sinks, faucets, stoves, or electrical outlets. Additionally, measure any areas where you’ll want custom edges or unique curves.Check for Irregularities
Measure the height, angles, and any structural elements that may affect the fit. Irregular walls or curves might need additional attention, so be sure to account for these.Account for Overhangs
Standard countertop overhangs typically range from 1″ to 1.5″ but can vary depending on your preference. Make sure to include this in your sketch.
