Template day in Palatine

Eight to nine miles northeast via IL-59 and Northwest Hwy, or I-90 and IL-53. Palatine templates split neatly in two: 1970s-90s eat-in kitchens getting a full update, and downtown condos from the post-2001 building wave now due for their first countertop.

What a Palatine floor plan does to the appointment

In a condo the template is the easy part and the elevator is the hard part. In a full remodel the opposite is true: we cannot template until the new cabinets are set and level, and templating a day early costs more than waiting a week.

What the appointment costs

Nothing. The in-home template is free in Palatine 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 Palatine kitchen are on the Palatine countertops page, and the number we will actually put our name on comes out of the appointment itself.

Getting to Palatine

Palatine sits about 8.7 miles from the shop at 1548 Brandy Pkwy, Streamwood — 8-9 miles northeast of the shop via IL-59 and Northwest Hwy (US-14), or I-90 and IL-53; roughly 20 minutes.

Palatine is in Cook County, Illinois — one of 89 towns and 149 ZIP codes we serve in that county, at a median 23.8 miles from the factory. The nearest other towns on our list are Rolling Meadows (3 mi), Arlington Heights (3.7 mi), Schaumburg (6.1 mi), so a Palatine job and a Rolling Meadows job are usually on the same run.

Palatine questions

How far is your shop from Palatine?

About 8.7 miles as the crow flies — 8-9 miles northeast of the shop via IL-59 and Northwest Hwy (US-14), or I-90 and IL-53; roughly 20 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.

Why does the fabricator need my sink before they will template my countertops?

Because the sink cutout and faucet holes are cut into the stone during fabrication to match your exact fixtures, not adjusted on site. The templater records the precise sink model and faucet spread, so a sink chosen after template day forces either a re-template or a delay while the shop waits. Buy the sink, faucet, and cooktop before scheduling the template visit and have them physically at the house.

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.
