How to Measure Your Countertops for an Estimate
Getting an estimate for your new countertops is easy! While a professional will take exact measurements later, providing basic dimensions helps give a great starting point for pricing and material needs. Here’s how to do it:

Need help? Don’t worry! A professional template will be done before fabrication, but this gets us started with an estimate.

Step 1: Gather Your Tools
  • Tape measure
  • Paper & pencil (or a phone/tablet for notes)
  • Calculator (optional)

Step 2: Measure the Length
  • Measure along the back edge of your countertops from one end to the other.
  • If you have multiple sections (like an L-shape), measure each section separately.

Step 3: Measure the Depth
  • Standard countertops are 25.5 inches deep (from the back wall to the front edge).
  • If you have an island or bar top, measure the full width from front to back.

Step 4: Account for Backsplashes
  • If you plan to include a backsplash, measure its height (typically 4-6 inches).

Step 5: Mark Sink & Appliance Cutouts
  • Note the location of your sink, cooktop and any other built-in appliances.
  • These affect how much material is needed and help with layout planning.

Step 6: Sketch a Rough Layout
  • Draw a simple top-down view of your space.
  • Label measurements for each section, including islands or peninsulas.

Step 7: Send It In!
  • Take a clear picture of your drawing and send it along with your measurements.
  • If unsure, add extra details like edge preferences or special requests.
