Countertop Installation and Maintenance
Our countertop installation requires careful planning and execution. At Creative In Counters, our team provides proper but efficient countertop installation in Frankford, DE, Frederick and Mt. Airy, MD.
Once you choose your bar, kitchen, or bathroom countertops, we will begin the process.

Regular maintenance is simple but helps your countertops last. You can clean spills, use mild detergents, and avoid abrasive cleaning tools.
While quartz countertops are strong and require less maintenance, all countertops benefit from careful use. To avoid heat damage, do not put hot pots and pans on your counters. In addition, try not to scratch your countertops with sharp objects.
With the right care, countertops can maintain beauty and function for years.

Can you use countertops right after installation?
Wait at least 24 hours after installation before using the countertops to allow them to fully set and dry. This will ensure that the countertops are stable and not damaged during use. Waiting allows the adhesive and sealant used during installation to cure and bond with the countertop material properly.
Do you offer waterfall edges?
Yes, we can install your countertops with waterfall edges. Waterfall edges are a popular design choice for countertops because they create a seamless and elegant look. The edges are cut at a 90-degree angle and then continue down sides of the countertop, resembling a waterfall. This design adds a stylish and modern touch to your kitchen or bathroom.
