Countertop Installation
Accurate Measurements and Clean Seams for Countertops
All Star Home Services installs kitchen and bathroom countertops in Bettendorf with attention to fit, support, and surface alignment.
Countertops that are not measured correctly leave gaps along walls, overhang unevenly at edges, or do not align with sinks and cooktops. In Bettendorf, where many kitchens have walls that are not perfectly square, careful templating and on-site adjustments prevent these fit issues and keep seams tight. All Star Home Services installs new countertops as part of kitchen and bathroom remodeling projects, coordinating closely with cabinet installation to ensure surfaces sit level and supported across their full length.
This service includes kitchen countertops, bathroom countertops, countertop replacement, and surface upgrades. The team replaces worn or outdated surfaces with modern, durable materials, and focuses on clean seams, proper support, and precise measurements. Countertop installation is a popular upgrade for Quad Cities homeowners refreshing kitchens without full remodels, and free estimates help plan countertop selection and installation scheduling.

Your project in Bettendorf begins with templating, where the crew measures cabinets, walls, and appliance locations to create a precise pattern for cutting the countertop. If you are installing undermount sinks or cooktops, cutouts are marked and confirmed before fabrication. The team checks that base cabinets are level and adds shims where needed so the countertop sits flat without rocking or gaps.
Once the countertop is installed, you will see seams that are nearly invisible unless you look closely, edges that overhang evenly without variation, and cutouts that fit tightly around sinks and fixtures. The surface sits flush with backsplash tile, and there are no gaps where water or crumbs can collect along walls or corners.
The crew secures the countertop to base cabinets using brackets or adhesive, depending on material type and cabinet construction. If your project involves removing an old countertop, the team disconnects plumbing and lifts out the old surface before installing the new one. This service does not include plumbing work, but All Star Home Services coordinates timing with plumbers if your project involves replacing sinks or faucets at the same time.
How Templating and Support Prevent Common Installation Problems
Homeowners ask about materials and timing before committing
Before scheduling countertop installation in Bettendorf, homeowners typically want to know how long the work takes, what materials hold up best, and how seams are handled.
How long does countertop installation take?
Templating takes about an hour, and installation is typically completed one to two weeks later once the countertop is fabricated. The actual install takes a few hours for most kitchens, depending on the number of seams and cutouts.
What countertop materials work best in Iowa kitchens?
Quartz resists staining and does not require sealing, making it popular for busy kitchens. Laminate is budget-friendly and available in many colors, while granite offers a natural look but needs periodic sealing to prevent moisture damage.
Why do countertop seams sometimes show?
Seams are visible when surfaces are not aligned perfectly or when the material pattern does not match across the joint. Skilled installers position seams in low-visibility areas and align patterns as closely as the material allows.
How do you ensure the countertop does not crack?
Cabinets must be level and fully supported before the countertop is installed, and the material is handled carefully to avoid stress on thin sections around cutouts. Proper support and installation technique prevent cracking over time.
What happens to my old countertop?
The crew removes and hauls away the old countertop as part of the service. If you are keeping your existing sink or faucet, they are disconnected before removal and reconnected after the new countertop is in place.
