Quartz Countertops in Leaside
Brick two-storeys from the 1930s and 40s fill the grid between Bayview and Laird, and most were built with kitchens meant for a very different way of cooking. Renovations here almost always mean a rear addition or a wall taken out. Plaster and lath shifts over ninety years, so very little sits square — we laser template the room as it actually is.
South Leaside, North Leaside, Bennington Heights and the streets off Millwood are all inside our regular route. Side drives are narrow and parking near Bayview is metered, so we sort out unloading before the crew arrives. Vanity tops on the second and third floors get the same laser template as the kitchen.

Leaside countertop questions, answered
How much should we budget for quartz countertops in Leaside?
The main drivers are the stone you select, the total square footage, the edge detail, the cutouts for sink, cooktop and taps, and whether the run needs a seam. An untouched Leaside galley and a kitchen opened into a rear addition are very different jobs. The in-home consultation is free and ends with an exact installed price, or reach us by phone.
Our 1940s walls are out of square. Is that a problem?
No, it is normal here. We laser template the room as built rather than working from a drawing, so the stone is cut to the actual angles, bows and out-of-plumb walls you have. Scribing an edge to old plaster is routine work. What matters is templating after the cabinets are fixed in place, since anything moved afterwards changes the fit.
Can you get large pieces into a house with a narrow side entrance?
Usually. At template the crew walks the carry route, measures doorways, the turn at the foot of the stairs and any tight landing, then we plan piece sizes and seam placement around what will physically fit. Older Leaside houses with a side door and a jog in the hallway are familiar territory for our installers.
Do you do bathroom vanities as well as kitchens?
Yes, and it is worth combining them. Many Leaside houses have a main bath plus an ensuite added later, both with small vanity tops that can often be cut from the remainder of your kitchen material. Same template appointment, same install day. Lower-level laundry rooms work the same way.
