Marble Counter Incorrect Cutting/Installation

4 years ago

Have just had two matching countertops and backsplashes installed on opposite walls of my kitchen. The stone cutter measured from the wall to have them flush with the drawers below and appliances next to them, but after installing today I see the counter tops extend beyond the appliances, as well as the fact that the countertops are slightly on a diagonal lengthwise (so the part you see in the picture sticks out further than on the far side) so that if I were to have them cut lengthwise to be flush with the appliances, the sink and oven (both of which have been cut into the marble…the sink is visible in this pic) would no longer be parallel to the edge as they currently are but on a diagonal themselves. Any thoughts on how to fix this? Am I correct to be unhappy/should the stone cutter fix it or supply a new piece if need be?

Thanks

"As far as one side having an uneven overhang, that should definitely be redone."

Unless it is the wall that is out.

The stoner needs to fix this. Sounds like something that was measured only, not templated.

The stone is going to extend past tall cabinets unless you order them 26” or more deep and give it a place to die into. The only way a flush oven cabinet would have stone not protrude beyond it’s depth with standard 24” deep cabinets is with 0 overhang. That would be so dysfunctional that no one eould ever do it.

When you have flush tall cabinets, you clip the edge slightly, and polish it.

OK thank you. So you think I should ask to have the stone that extends to be clipped and polished? It would look much better to me eye to have 0 overhang but unsure its possible at this point.

0 overhang is a horrible idea. Your cabinets get filthy and liquids run into your drawers.

Your kitchen designer failed to design this correctly with deeper tall cabinets, or to set proper expectations about counter overhang with your choce of flush tall cabinets. You can’t have it both ways.

I like it like that. :) I've always hated the tall cabinets being a little deeper and not lining up with the neighboring lower cabinets.

If you aren't gonna crash an appliance door into the corner of the counter, it's fine. If they can round or clip it a bit to your satisfaction, then do that.

As far as one side having an uneven overhang, that should definitely be redone.
