WHY SHOULDNT I GO WITH THE CHEAPER PRE-FABRICATED COUNTERTOPS INSTEAD OF CUSTOM FABRICATION?
There are many advantages to having your counters custom fabricated instead of ordering pre-fabricated counters. Pre-fabricated counters offer limited sizing options which often result in more seams than would be necessary and limited design possibilities. Pre-fabricated counters also come in very limited colors with little to no movement, since they need to be able to be put next to any of the other pieces. However, if you have a small kitchen with no island and straight counters or a bathroom to do, pre-fabricated counters can be a much cheaper option. Usually the counters are fabricated in China, or other countries where labor is cheaper, than shipped to the US which is why they are so much cheaper than custom fabrication. That is also why you always want to check the quality of the counter you will be receiving before purchasing. We do have some pre-fabricated counters from Brazil at our shop that we would be happy to show you and see if it would work for your application.
