Countertop Installation in Monona, WI

Does QBC install countertops in Monona?

Yes. Monona is 20 minutes from the DeForest shop where we cut the stone. Tops are laser templated on site once the cabinets are set, cut on CNC equipment in DeForest, and installed by our own crews. QBC LLC's Countertops Division runs 5 to 10 large multifamily projects a year plus 10 to 15 smaller projects a month, most of them in Dane County, and Monona has been a repeat stop.

What has QBC installed in Monona?

Projects completed or under contract, with the general contractor:

• The Bloom (McGann Construction): countertops and finish carpentry
• Waterfront at River Place (Stevens Construction): countertops, finish carpentry, and framing
• Broadway (Connery Construction): countertops and cabinets
• Monona Pines (McGann Construction): countertops, cabinets, and trim

The same shop has set tops on roughly 75 completed Madison-area projects.

What does the countertop scope include?

The same scope as our countertops service page: quartz and granite supplied and installed under one contract, laser templating after cabinets are set, fabrication in DeForest, edge profiles, cutouts, and seams built to one standard across the project, and stone window sills from the same shop. Large orders are bought in one production lot so color matches from the first unit to the last. Cabinetry and finish carpentry are separate QBC scopes run by the same project manager.

How does a Monona countertop project run?

Color and slab approvals, edge profiles, and the sink and cutout schedule are signed off in preconstruction and stone is ordered against lead times. Once base cabinets are permanently set, we laser template, program the cut file, fabricate, and install, usually the same crew that templated the unit. Standard lead time is 30 days or less from template to installation; smaller projects can turn in two weeks when the schedule allows. Four rounds of punch, then closeout with a 1 year labor warranty on installation.

FAQs

Do you install countertops for Monona homeowners?

Yes, through our countertop packages: granite and quartz installed, starting at $3,000, quoted from a simple hand drawing. Everything else on this page is for general contractors and developers.

Can countertops go in before cabinets are finished?

No. We template only after base cabinets are permanently set, level, and secured. Templating early is how a fit error on one kitchen becomes a fit error on 60.

Quartz or granite for a Monona apartment project?

Quartz is the most specified top in new multifamily work: non-porous, no sealing, consistent color. Granite gives natural stone at a lower material cost on many colors but needs periodic sealing. We price both in Good, Better, and Best tiers with physical samples.

Who is my point of contact?

One dedicated QBC project manager, from bid through closeout, for every scope we hold.
