Countertop installation covers everything between picking a slab and having a finished surface you can set a pan on: templating the existing cabinets, fabricating the material to size, cutting sink and cooktop openings, and setting the finished piece with seams that are level and tight. For stone (granite, quartz, quartzite) this usually means a shop visit or in-home template, a lead time of one to three weeks for fabrication, and a crew of two or three for the actual install day. Laminate and butcher block jobs move faster and cost less, but still need accurate measuring and clean edge work to look right.
Before you sign anything, ask who does the templating (a digital laser template is more accurate than hand measurements), whether the quote includes edge profile, backsplash, sink cutout, and old countertop removal, and what happens if plumbing or electrical needs adjusting for the new install. Get a firm date range for fabrication and installation, and ask to see photos of past seam work, since that's usually the clearest sign of a fabricator's skill.
