Obtaining Stainless Steel Counters

To find a company in your area that can fabricate stainless-steel countertops, you can check online or check your telephone classified section under “Commercial Kitchen Suppliers.” If none are listed there, ask at local restaurants and other commercial kitchens to find out where their countertops were made.

When you find a fabricator, make certain that his work will be of sufficient quality to be used in a home kitchen. Also you’ll want to get a total cost estimate to include materials, labor, shipping, etc., as well as an expected date your countertops should be completed. You should be aware, however, that some fabricators do not actually install countertops. In that case, you’ll have to make arrangements with someone else to install them.

Remember to be extremely careful when giving countertop measurements to your stainless-steel fabricator. Any mistakes can mean expensive countertops that don’t fit. Stainless-steel countertops can’t be easily modified once fabricated, so accurate measurements are mandatory.
