Thornton Countertops: Countertops in Thornton, CO

Countertops for Thornton kitchens, baths and backyards

Thornton Countertops puts new countertops into Thornton kitchens, bathrooms and backyards. We take on a single vanity top or a full kitchen with an island and a long L-shaped run, and we see it through from the first measure to the last line of sealant where the counter meets the wall.

We also work in Northglenn, Westminster, Broomfield, Brighton and the other towns listed further down the page.

How a job goes

You send the form or call us. We come out, measure every cabinet run, and check that the cabinets are level before anything gets cut. You choose the material and the edge, and we write up a quote with a layout sketch. Once you say yes, we order the material and set a day to fit it.

Natural stone

OSHA's countertop safety alert groups marble and granite as natural stone, and it describes engineered stone as man-made.

Granite countertops

We fit granite countertops in kitchens, laundry rooms and on islands. Look at the full slab before it's cut, so the pattern holds no surprises.

Marble countertops

We fit marble countertops in bathrooms and on baking counters. If you want marble in a busy kitchen, we'll talk through how it wears first.

Quartzite countertops

Despite the name, quartzite is not quartz. The U.S. Geological Survey defines quartzite as a rock formed from sandstone, while quartz countertops are engineered stone. We fit quartzite countertops in kitchens and on islands.

Soapstone countertops

The U.S. Geological Survey describes soapstone as a rock that contains talc, the softest mineral. We fit soapstone countertops in kitchens and on islands.

Engineered and poured surfaces

Quartz countertops

NIOSH, part of the CDC, says engineered stone is also called quartz. We fit quartz countertops in kitchens where you want the same color and pattern from one end to the other.

Solid surface countertops

We fit solid surface countertops, made from man-made sheets rather than stone, in bathrooms and laundry rooms.

Porcelain countertops

We fit porcelain countertops when you want a thin slab with a clean, modern edge.

Concrete countertops

We fit concrete countertops in outdoor kitchens and in kitchens that suit a heavy, plain look.

Butcher block countertops

We fit butcher block countertops, made from wood, on islands and prep areas. Ask us what upkeep the wood needs.

Every room and every job

Kitchen countertops

For kitchen countertops, we cut around the sink, the cooktop (the burners set into the counter) and any outlets, and we join long runs at seams you agree to first.

Bathroom vanity tops

We fit bathroom vanity tops with one sink or two.

Outdoor kitchen countertops

We fit outdoor kitchen countertops around grills and patio bars. Ask us which materials we'd use outside before you pick one.

Countertop replacement

Countertop replacement covers the whole job: we take out the old tops, check the cabinets and fit the new ones.

Countertop repair

We look at chips, cracks and loose seams through countertop repair and tell you if a repair will hold.

Backsplash installation

Once the counter is in, we can do backsplash installation, tiling the strip of wall just above it.

Keeping a kitchen counter clean

Whatever top you pick, you'll be cleaning it every day. FoodSafety.gov says germs that can make you sick can survive on kitchen countertops. It says to wash countertops with hot, soapy water, especially after they've held raw meat, poultry, seafood or eggs, and to wash dish cloths often on the hot cycle. It also says never to thaw or marinate food on the counter, because the fridge is the safest place to thaw or marinate meat, poultry and seafood.

Before you choose a material, ask us what cleaners its maker allows, so your cleaning routine won't damage it.

Ask for these in writing

• The name, color and thickness of the material.
• A layout sketch showing seams, overhangs and cutouts.
• The edge profile.
• Whether the quote covers removing and hauling away the old tops.
• Who disconnects and reconnects the sink and cooktop, and whether that changes any plumbing.
• If any part of the job needs a permit, who gets it.

Questions about countertops in Thornton

Do I need a permit to replace countertops in Thornton?

Not for the countertops themselves. The City of Thornton lists replacing cabinets and counter tops among the inside projects that don't need a building permit. Remodeling, and plumbing, electrical or structural modifications, do need one. The city says its list is not complete, so call its building division if you're unsure.

Should I pick out the slab myself?

For granite, marble, quartzite or soapstone, we'd say yes. Seeing the full slab shows you which part of the pattern ends up on your counter.

Will my old sink fit the new countertop?

We cut the sink hole to suit the sink you're using. If you're keeping the old one, we measure it at the first visit.

Do you take away the old countertops?

Yes, we take out the old tops. Make sure the quote says who hauls them away.

Do you work outside Thornton?

Yes. We cover Northglenn, Federal Heights, Broomfield, Westminster, Commerce City, Brighton and the other towns listed below.
