Accessibility in your home

Some people are truely unaware of the large size and heavy weight (20# per SF) of their countertop pieces and fail to provide adequate access to their kitchen. It is important to keep in mind that such things as having your driveway paved on the day your countertops are being installed is not a good idea. Also, if you are supposed to have your driveway poured in order to provide access, please make sure it's done before you countertop installers arrive. It is very difficult to manuever large pieces of heavy stone through mud. Also, large pieces of furniture, tight doorways and basement steps are hard to maneuver through. We do occasionally charge for difficult access if steps are so numerous that it takes hours longer to install the job. This seems to be more prevalent in lake homes or waterfront properties which can have upwards of 30 or more steps just to get to the home.
