To ensure the most accurate estimate of your custom countertops, the  following tips will help you properly draw your countertop surface. Please refer to the countertop sample layout shown in the “Getting Started” section for the proper way to draw your countertops.

1)  Measure length & width in inches to the nearest 1/2”.  Remember to include overhang.

2)  Indicate wall locations.

3)  Indicate which walls will have a stone backsplash:  Note the type of backsplash as standard height or custom.

4)  Label and indicate placement of sink/s. (Actual sink placement will be confirmed at field measure).

5)  Indicate location of range and/or cooktop. (Actual range and/or cooktop placement will be
confirmed at field measure).

6)  Label any islands, desks or other areas where you would  like granite countertops.

7)  Indicate any special radius corners you may want on your countertops.

8)  Indicate locations and sizes of extended overhang for all  countertops. You do not need to indicate standard overhangs.
