In-Home Templating in Mount Prospect, IL

Straight up Elmhurst Rd, four to five miles.

Template day in Mount Prospect

Straight up Elmhurst Rd, four to five miles. Mount Prospect's postwar L-shaped kitchens run 20 to 30 linear feet, which usually means the template appointment is under an hour once the counters are clear.

What a Mount Prospect floor plan does to the appointment

Clear counters are not a courtesy, they are the job. Anything left on the counter is something the laser cannot see past, and a template taken around a coffee maker is a template with a coffee-maker-shaped hole in it.

What the appointment costs

Nothing. The in-home template is free in Mount Prospect and it commits you to nothing — the template costs nothing and commits you to nothing. It is how the range below turns into one number. The installed ranges for a Mount Prospect kitchen are on the Mount Prospect countertops page, and the number we will actually put our name on comes out of the appointment itself.

Mount Prospect questions

How far is your shop from Mount Prospect?

About 5.3 miles as the crow flies — 4-5 miles straight north of the shop on Elmhurst Rd (IL-83); roughly 10-15 minutes. That matters for templating more than for anything else we do, because the template is the appointment where we come to you, and a short run means a tight arrival window rather than a vague morning.

How far can my island top overhang for stools before it needs brackets or legs?

Common fabricator guidance is about 10-12 inches of unsupported overhang for 3cm granite or quartz, only about 6 inches for 2cm granite, and never more than one-third of the total countertop depth cantilevered. Seating overhangs usually run 10-16 inches deep, which is exactly the range where hidden steel brackets — typically spaced every 18-24 inches — earn their keep. This is not fussiness: an unsupported stone overhang is fine until a guest leans on it or a kid climbs it, and then it snaps at the weakest point. Brackets are cheap; a cracked island top is not.

How long from template to install — and do I lose my kitchen the whole time?

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.
