Replacing countertops or shower walls is one of the most impactful upgrades you can make to a kitchen or bathroom. But many homeowners are surprised to learn that a successful project involves much more than simply choosing a slab.
At Select Surfaces (showrooms in Woodbury, Roseville & Plymouth), the goal is to make the entire process simple, organized, and stress-free through a fully managed White Glove, complete countertop replacement experience.
Here’s how the process works—and why so many Twin Cities homeowners prefer our one-stop approach.
Step 1: Start with Selections in the Showroom
Every countertop or shower wall project begins with selections. Visiting one of our showrooms allows homeowners to see and touch the materials that will define the finished space.
During this visit, customers explore:
- High-Performance Quartz for your interior projects
- High-Performance Sintered Stone for your exterior kitchen projects
- Sinks and workstation sinks
- Faucets and accessories
- Food disposals
- Backsplash options: slab or tile
- Under-counter water filtration systems
- Edge profiles and finishing details
This step is important because a successful countertop project requires more than just choosing a surface. Every detail—from sink configuration to backsplash materials—affects the overall design and functionality of the space.
Our team walks customers through these decisions and explains the pros and cons of each option so they can confidently choose what works best for their home.
Step 2: Comprehensive Quotes that Show the Full Picture
One of the biggest frustrations homeowners experience during remodeling projects is unclear pricing. That’s why our team prepares comprehensive quotes that clearly outline every element of the project.
These quotes help customers understand:
- What materials are included
- How selections affect pricing
- What labor is required
- How additional items contribute to the total investment
- Are you handy? What sweat-equity options can you manage yourself?
This transparency allows homeowners to compare options, adjust selections if needed, and confidently move forward knowing exactly what to expect.
Step 3: Coordinating All the Details
Once selections are finalized, our in-house production team takes over.
Rather than leaving homeowners to coordinate multiple contractors, we manage all aspects of the project, including:
- Removing existing countertops
- Plumbing disconnections and reconnections
- Sink and faucet installation
- Food disposal installation
- Countertop fabrication and installation
- Tile backsplash installation
- Final finishing details
Because everything is coordinated internally, scheduling is efficient and predictable.
Step 4: Fast Installation with Minimal Disruption
A common concern when replacing countertops is how long the kitchen will be out of service.
Thanks to careful planning and scheduling, most countertop replacements are completed quickly—often leaving homeowners without their kitchen for only a day or two.
Our production team carefully sequences each step so demolition, installation, plumbing reconnections, and finishing work happen efficiently.
High-Performance Materials You Can Trust
We’ve carefully curated materials that perform well in real homes. Every product we recommend is chosen because it offers:
- High durability for everyday use
- Strong manufacturer warranties
- Long-term performance we can confidently stand behind
Because of this careful selection process, we back our installations with a lifetime guarantee.
More Than Just Kitchen Countertops
While kitchens are the most common projects, the same replacement process works beautifully for other spaces throughout the home.
We regularly help homeowners upgrade:
- Outdoor Kitchens
- Shower walls
- Bathroom vanities
- Fireplace surrounds
Each project benefits from the same streamlined process, professional installation, and high-performance materials.
