Countertop Installation in Itasca, IL

Yes — all of Itasca, and the rest of DuPage County with it. The shop is 2.1 miles away at 2260 Elmhurst Rd in Elk Grove Village, and the crew that templates your kitchen is the crew that installs it. No part of Itasca is far enough away to be somebody else's problem.

The tiling itself takes only about 3 to 6 hours in a standard kitchen, but the project spans at least two days because thinset must cure roughly 24 hours before grouting, and grout needs another day or more before sealing. Complex patterns, stone, or wall repair stretch it to 2 to 4 days. You can generally use the kitchen throughout - just keep water and grease off the new wall until the grout is cured and sealed.

Template to install typically runs 5-15 business days (rush shops manage 3-5; peak spring-summer season can stretch to 20). The good news: your kitchen keeps working through fabrication — you only lose the sink between tear-out and plumbing reconnection, usually 1-2 days. Install day itself is 2-6 hours for a standard kitchen. The quiet weeks between template and install are an information vacuum, not a problem — your counters are in a CNC queue — but ask at signing how the shop will confirm your install date so you can book the plumber.

As of mid-2026 national pricing guides: laminate runs $15-$40 per square foot installed, butcher block and solid surface $40-$80, granite $40-$100, porcelain $50-$100, quartz $50-$120, marble $60-$150, and quartzite $70-$150. A standard 30-50 sq ft kitchen typically lands between $2,000 and $10,000 all-in, with most homeowners spending $3,500-$6,500. Midwest metros often price 10-20% below coastal averages, but get local quotes — fabrication labor and options, not the slab itself, drive much of the spread.
