Does Artelye fabricate and install countertops?
Yes. Artelye provides digital templating, in-house fabrication, and installation for residential and commercial projects across Maryland, Washington, DC, and Northern Virginia. The showroom is in Beltsville, Maryland.
Can you replace countertops without replacing cabinets?
An existing cabinet layout may be suitable if the cabinets are secure and can support the new surface. The site assessment must confirm readiness, dimensions, and removal conditions. Discuss any cabinet repairs before templating and scheduling.
Will my countertop have seams?
Some layouts require seams because of slab size, cutouts, access, or handling constraints. Review proposed seam locations and pattern direction during drawing review. A seam is a joint between pieces and should not be promised as invisible.
How long does a countertop project take?
The schedule depends on material availability, site readiness, drawing approval, and fabrication scope. Ask for project-specific dates after these details are confirmed. Installation time and the full project lead time are different.
Who handles plumbing and appliance connections?
Responsibilities depend on the agreed scope. Confirm disconnection, reconnection, and any separate trade visits in writing before installation. Follow the crew’s cure-time instructions before using the completed surface.
How do I get an accurate estimate?
Send plans or approximate measurements, photos, material preferences, and fixture details. Flag removal, backsplash, and access needs.
