Re-securing granite tops that have come loose from the cabinets, with fresh adhesive and added support so they stay put.
A granite top that moves is a granite top in trouble. It might rock when you lean on it, lift at a seam or shift when you push a heavy pot. The cause is usually failed adhesive, cabinets that have settled or twisted, or support that was never adequate. A loose top can crack, break a sink connection or injure someone, so it is worth fixing quickly. In Nashville homes, we often find this in older installs and after cabinet repairs.
We inspect the top and the cabinets and find where it is lifting. We safely lift the stone if needed, clean old adhesive, correct cabinet level and add support, then re-bond the stone with fresh silicone or construction adhesive and secure it until cured. If the stone is cracked, we repair that too. When everything is secure, we recheck seams and sink connections. Where a top has come loose near a dishwasher or a sink, we also check for water damage in the cabinet below, since moisture can soften the support and keep the problem coming back. If a cabinet is damaged, we tell you what is needed to make the repair last, rather than simply re-gluing a top onto a weak base. A stable counter also protects the seams, the sink joint and the backsplash caulk, which is why we look at the whole run, not just the spot that moved.
Rocking, lifting at seams, gaps at the wall or cracks near cutouts all suggest the stone is not fully supported.
We look for failed adhesive, sagging cabinets or missing support strips.
Old adhesive is cleaned off, level is corrected and the stone is re-secured with fresh adhesive.
Seams, the sink and the backsplash joint are checked and corrected after reattachment.

You tell us about your counters and what you want to change, from a repair to a whole-kitchen install, and we set a visit that fits your day.
We visit, measure, check the cabinets, walls and plumbing and talk through stone, edges, seams and sinks.
We help you choose a slab at local stone yards, plan the layout and give you an itemized written estimate with options.
Once cabinets are set and level, we template the real room, confirm cutouts and seams and send the plan to fabrication.
The stone is cut and polished, old counters are removed and the new granite is carried in, set, seamed and sealed.
We walk the finished counters with you, explain care, run the water test and leave the space clean.
It can crack or shift. Avoid putting heavy loads on it until it is secured.
Failed adhesive, settling cabinets or inadequate support are common causes.
Often yes, with careful lifting and re-bonding.
Usually a few hours plus cure time.
Yes. We repair cracks as part of the work.
