How to extend a 45° countertop

5 years ago

last modified: 5 years ago

Hello,New home owner here! I currently have granite countertops. They cut off at an almost - 45° angle. I want to increase countertop space, so hoping to add cabinets and a look-alike faux granite countertop. I am pretty handy, but not sure how to go about this one. What is the easiest? Try to get an identical cut to seamlessly fit another slab, or cut my current granite to 90° and buy another 90° slab? I would really rather not damage my current granite tops. Attached is a picture of my existing counter (outlined in red). And how I want to extend it (outlined in blue).

Maybe take out the 45 cabinet and add 2 or 3 cabinets to create the peninsula. And have them cut the stone (assuming it will cut ok in place) and do the whole new section in a butcherblock top. something totally different than the granite.

I have extensive experience in this realm and I really don't like your ideas. This is never not going to look hillbilly, excuse my boldness, but especially if you do it. This is really in the advanced class; not remotely close to DIY.

Do some bullet-biting please. Pull the tops, set the cabinets level and plumb, and dump that awful divided sink when you buy new tops.
