Professional granite countertop installation in Baltimore, MD transforms kitchens in Federal Hill, Canton, and neighborhoods across the city. At Trademark Construction, we handle every step – from templating and slab selection to removal, plumbing adjustments, and secure mounting.
With 25+ years serving Baltimore homes, we deliver precise fits and lasting results. Whether you’re remodeling a historic rowhome or updating a modern kitchen, our team ensures your granite countertops are installed right the first time.
Before your new granite goes in, we remove your existing countertops, disconnect sinks and faucets, and haul away all old materials. You don’t need to hire separate contractors for tearout or plumbing work, we handle everything. In Baltimore, countertop installation in one- and two-family homes typically doesn’t require permits, which keeps the process simple. Baltimore rowhomes often have tight kitchen layouts that require careful work.
We protect your cabinets and floors during removal and dispose of all old materials so your kitchen stays clean. Our installers have the experience to work efficiently in compact spaces, ensuring your new granite arrives to a properly prepared surface.
Your granite installation typically takes 3-5 days from start to finish. We create precise templates during our first visit, then fabricate your slabs at our shop. On installation day, we cut, mount, and seal the granite, then reconnect all plumbing before we leave.
This timeline helps you plan around the work. Many homeowners keep meals simple for a few days while we’re working, paper plates and takeout make life easier when your sink is out of commission. Keep in mind that winter weather in Baltimore can occasionally delay stone deliveries, so spring and fall installations often move faster.
Before we install your granite, we inspect your cabinets to ensure they can support the weight. Heavy granite slabs require a solid base, so we add plywood underlayment when needed. Proper substrate preparation and level mounting prevent cracks and keep your countertops secure for decades, protecting your investment from day one.
Older Baltimore homes may need cabinet reinforcement first. Rowhomes in Bolton Hill and Roland Park sometimes have original cabinetry that requires extra support. We assess your specific kitchen during templating and include any necessary prep work in your project plan.
We bond your granite to cabinets using strong epoxy adhesive and add hidden brackets at stress points near sinks and cooktops. This combination keeps granite stable through daily cooking and cleaning, you can place hot pots and heavy appliances on the surface without worry.
Humidity swings in Baltimore affect cabinet wood throughout the year. We use flexible adhesives that handle wood expansion and contraction. This prevents gaps between granite and cabinets as seasons change. Your countertops stay tight and secure year-round.
Granite offers natural stone patterns that make every slab unique. Each piece shows different colors and veins you won’t find anywhere else. Granite handles heat well and lasts for decades with basic care. You’ll need to reseal it every 1-2 years to prevent stains.
Quartz provides consistent patterns and requires no sealing. It resists stains better than granite but can’t handle hot pots directly from the stove.
