Project Description

A Fast Countertop Upgrade That Refreshed an Arlington Kitchen

Not every kitchen needs a full remodel. In this Arlington, VA home, Kitchen & Bath Masters replaced the worn countertops with MSI quartz countertops, giving the kitchen a fresh, durable work surface while the existing cabinetry stayed in place.

The starting point

The countertop upgrade was part of a larger project: the homeowners were remodeling their master bathroom and wanted the kitchen to look just as current. The old countertops were tired and made the kitchen feel dated.

Our solution

  • Countertop removal: The old countertops were removed carefully to protect the existing cabinets and walls.
  • Templating and fabrication: New quartz was templated on site so seams, overhangs and the sink cutout fit the existing cabinet run precisely.
  • MSI quartz installation: Non-porous quartz resists stains and needs no sealing, so it holds up to daily cooking with minimal maintenance.
  • One schedule, two rooms: Running the kitchen and bathroom work together meant one crew, one timeline and less disruption for the household.

The result

The kitchen looks updated and cleaner without the cost and downtime of new cabinets. For many homeowners, a quartz countertop replacement is the most cost-effective way to refresh a kitchen.

FAQ

Kitchen countertop replacement questions, answered

Yes. If the cabinet boxes are level and in good condition, new countertops can be installed on top of them, which is exactly what we did in this Arlington kitchen.

MSI quartz is engineered stone: it is non-porous, stain-resistant and doesn’t need sealing, and it comes in a wide range of colors and patterns. That makes it a practical choice for busy kitchens.

Usually a few days of on-site work: removal and templating, fabrication, then installation. The wait for fabrication is often the longest part. Here it ran alongside a bathroom remodel over about 4 weeks.

Yes. Combining projects, like this countertop upgrade and master bathroom remodel, lets one team manage the schedule and deliveries and usually shortens the total time your home is under construction.

It depends on the square footage, the quartz color, edge profile and cutouts. We provide a free on-site estimate with a fixed written price before any work begins.
