Looks awesome! My only suggestion - as someone who installs countertops for a living - don't silicone ONTO the cabinet then place the stone on it, rather put the stone in place then go up from inside and silicone where the stone meets the cabinet walls. This way, you're not tearing apart your cabinets if you want to change your countertops in the future. You'd just simply run your knife across the silicone, much like you did when cutting the silicone away from the splash and countertop in the beginning of the vid.
fair point. Cheers!
I say seal the crap out of everything to keep creepy crawlers from making a new home, especially around food prep areas or water.
We have laminate in our kitchen. We've only had it for 5 years. Looks dark and I want something lighter. Of course my husband is having a fit (can't blame him) because to take of our laminate, it will be a tough job because they glued it down tight, not just silicone where the stone meets the cabinet walls. So we are screwed in terms of tearing this out. He is afraid it will not only hurt our new cabinets but will destroy the bottom part of our backsplash tile. I wish someone knowledgeable could help us remove it. Also have an 8' x 3' island. My husband thinks adding quart to this length will cost up to $5,000 just for a quartz or Solid Surface put on. I just don't what to do at this point.
@@theresahemmer3725 You can also install new laminate over existing laminate. My friend's mother had it done on the laminate that was installed in the 90's. The new laminate was a replica of marble. Looked beautiful.
@@theresahemmer3725
You can paint over the laminate. There are tons of videos on UA-cam to show you how and what paint to use. Or you can epoxy the counter tops and again there are tons of videos on UA-cam to show you how and what to use.
I could watch this guy all day. Something so soothing about his voice and how he talks about stuff.
I like joanna lumley voice
Like the Bob Ross of home renovation
I agree, great tutorials 👍
Just the right amount of humor, and learning.
Ikr I've watched like 2 or 3 of his vids before.the longer ones. First thing I said when I saw this one was "there he go again" 😂
Easily one of the best channels on youtube. Thanks!
Thanks , that means a lot to us. Cheers!
You are like the Blippy of construction. Fun to watch but just as informative. Love your channel
Imagine watching Matt Risinger all the time and then stumbling on this gem of a channel that's actually practical DIY advice by an awesome host. Instant subscribe from me.
Thank you for telling your viewers about the waste factor and care of natural stone/ quartz. And FYI viewers, sealing is a very simple process, like cleaning your counters so don’t let that turn you off!
I am pretty sure that quartz does not need a sealer but granite does, and yes the process is quite simple.
And only needed about every 5 years or so. cheers!
This is the second of your videos I have come to that has been helpful. Thanks!
Thank you Jeff. I am just educating myself on kitchen upgrade with countertops and cabinets. your video is useful.
Best You Tube channel I have ever seen - So Organized, so efficient and so inspirational!
Oh my gosh. I can't like this video enough. Love this guy!! So helpful, great information. Thinking about replacing our home countertops. 👍
One of the easier DIY videos to follow giving just the right amount of information without droning on.
You make it look so easy! Thanks for the great info, exactly what I was looking for!
Stumbled onto this channel for looking at some pointers on remodeling and after watching this very easy and simple video i have to subscribe,very well explained.
Welcome to the DIY CREW Alessandro!
Great channel. I bought 14 linear feet of quartz for 150 dollars (i had to drive from Iowa to Illinois to pick it up) but I plan on doing this in a couple months. Thanks for the tips!
Very good, I am redoing my kitchen and will be doing Quartz! I have a wonderful contractor and he takes care of everything for me
I really love all your videos. You are my motivation for DIY projects.
Excellent video. I’m in the process of updating my counter top and this video is extremely helpful.
I have been watched lots of your videos. YOU'RE TOO GOOD!!! learn a lot from you. Thanks
Thanks , we appreciate that. Cheers!
You are both entertaining and informative. You are a Godsend good sir. Thank you.
Loved watching your UA-cam channel. Learned a lot new techniques for home improvements from you. Besides you funny and you made projects more interesting to watch.
Thank you!! Just started buying rentals & really want to save money on renovations.
I love that when I search home improvement stuff your the top tier first option on you tube search
As always, excellent advice
Me: does a counter top design really matter?
Me at 2am watching this: damn that counter really makes that kitchen pop
ven Noel: Exactly. It does make a huge difference. :)
tammyramey read this at exactly 2am while watching video...
You make it look so easy.
Just had laminate countertops installed because of the cost differential - wish I had seen this video sooner. It may have given me the courage to try quartz.
Thanks for the significant info.
Thanks for the real info about quartz and granite. It’s so hard to find reliable information about little things like that.
Cheers!
awesome content! I appreciate it!
Loved this video! Thank you so much Jeff! Hey, so would you say that quartz countertops are equally as valuable in home sale, as is granite? We're thinking of changing out the granite to quartz & wondered about solid surface materials like this. thanks!!
Always a like from me Jeff!
Thanks for sharing with us!
Cool, thanks for your support. Cheers!
Great information. Thank you.
Brother you relay now what you doing I’m handyman and I work maintenance man for 25 years and I a/c technician to and I learned more from you brother I’m from Orlando Florida. When I grow up I just want to be just like you Jajajajaja good job
LOL you definitely have the beard for it. Cheers!
I love how happy you are when doing all of these jobs haha
your work speaks for itself......
Thanks Raj, Cheers!
Great work thanks god bless
Super video. Information is top notch. Two key points you mentioned that I did not know or had forgotten: quartz matrix damaged by heat and the resale of a used house to buyers.
Gotta compete with the joneses if you are going to resell. Cheers!
What does that mean...quartz matrix
Most informative video I’ve seen on this subject. Many thanks!
Great video. Love the honest advice.
Thanks Ryan, that is all you get on this channel. Nobody telling us what to say. Cheers!
After researching countertops I believe the best one to use is quartzite. It's harder than Quartz and they have some really nice colors I lean towards an all white kitchen with some different marksing in the countertop. I also really like glass countertops.
Great video.. I'll be removing my bathroom laminate countertop... I already looked underneath and I think that I have located the screws - thanks!
Wow I'm kind of surprised and impressed you were able to squeeze in that new countertop under the existing backsplash.. good job
They are both the same size and most tile is installed 1/16 above the counter
Please guys. The countertop was installed against the tile (not underneath the tile). Just check when he puts the last drop of silicone he lifts the countertop about 2”
Great channel, look forward to every episode!
Thanks JB Cheers!
Good personality. Thanks bro
OVE your help thank you sir.
Awesome thank you!
Great video, I don’t own a home yet but enjoy watching your Videos!
Thanks for commenting. Cheers!
Thank you so much 🙏🏿🙏🏿
Love your videos and the great tips you provide... Any tips and or videos on how to remove a granite counter top? Thanks again!
Nice ,thank you for sharing. Do you seal the edges
Natural stone is nice bit it cracks and scratches and what falls on it breaks😣next counter top is back to quality formica. Beautiful replacement kob, keep sharing 😊
Love your videos. Thanks!! I do want to ask though, how do you remove counter tops that have grouted floor tiles on them? The condo I bought has floor tiles on I assume particle board as kitchen counters. :(
Subscribed. Thanks for the video.
Dude u never disappoint 👍🏽🤙🏼 keep it up 😊🍻👌🏽
Nice job 👍
Great work! Great Clip!
Cheers , Thanks Tony!
You are super great help...
Thankyou
Glad to hear that I have been of help. Cheers!
I love this channel!
This channel loves you too!
We need to level our old kitchen cabinets before they can install our new quartz counter top. Any advice on how to do it?
Thanks!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Lmao. ”I love a good fight”. Now Your a comedian? Love your work.
That new counter top look nice, and the part on the other side of the stove was so heavy until you must have had one or two extra helpers to assist in putting it on. I love the work you did and how fine it looks.
That is definitely a 2 man job. Cheers!
Thank you
Yup on the counters! I'm considering buying the condo I'm renting but this is my beef. Still has original counters. So looking at alternatives for renovations.
Good information
i really enjoy your vdeos
Thank you. I love your Chanel . I can’t wait to buy a house and update my own counter top .
Do you have a video that covers installing a tiled kitchen counter?
good job
Personality plus he knows what he is doing.
Jeff, if you wanted a induction cooktop flush installed in a countertop? How would that work - the flush part confuses me? Have you ever done one of those? In formica or stone?
Love it!
Thanks a ton. Cheers!
great video
Manufactured home cabinets, fake cabinets, what is the best way to paint them? Love your content, thanks for all the tips! 👍
Do you think you could do a video on installing a vessel sink and possibly just replacing the bathroom countertop and not entire vanity? Great vids btw...im repainting my bathroom right now, and its coming along amazing thanks to you!
Ottawa always seemed so far away but it was close enough to apply to Utah projects because of the good similarities between Canada and the U.S. We will be in Canada’s beautiful capital this year and these videos will make me feel more at home when we come there to research family roots. Thanks again Jeff for the excellent and practical advice. Why not enjoy a renovated kitchen long before you sell it. Goodbye Formica, hello quartz. Congratulations on your excellent UA-cam success. You’ve earned it, black eye and all.
Thanks Corey, enjoy your visit here. we have been having awesome weather this year. Cheers!
Hi Jeff thank you for your videos.
Would you please make a video on how to place ceramic on and old Formica countertop or what is best thank you
Thanks for the video - very informative. First time installing Quartz over new cabinets - should I install plywood first on cabinets before I install the quartz and how do I secure my under mount sink? Thank u
yes to the plywood if you are using the 3/4 inch and no if you are using the 1 1/4 inch. I like to secure my sink with structural silicone. If you like to fill heavy pots in the sink then install a brace under the sink to help carry the weight.
Do you put silicone sealant where the countertop edges meet the backwall and other places where it meets other vertical adjoining surfaces?
THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE INFO. WE ARE IN PROCESS OF REDOING OUR KITCHEN. i WAS GOING TO GO WITH THE QUARTZ UNTIL YOU SAID GRANITE WOULD BE BETTER thanks for saving us a lot of headaches and work. keep up the wonderful DIY's
Our pleasure. Just remember to seal it every 5 years. Cheers!
Love it! ❤👍
I love Subscribers who love emojis, Cheers to Autumn Spring!!!!
Hi very informative how about if i have a granite counter top now & i want to replace with quartz- how would they replace the granite ?
I love watching all of your DIY projects!! I have learned a lot from them. I had a pipe bust a few months ago it ruined that Vanity portion of the bathroom and I just want to replace the cabinet not the tops i love my quart tops that is why i chose this house over a few others i was looking at. Now that I know how easy it will be to put them back on how do i remove them with out breaking it?
Love watching your videos can you please do one on hoe to install a faucet
Really helpful video, thank you! How would you remove quartz countertops?
If its 2cm its usually on top of a plywood and you can use screws from underneath but dont over screw it in and if the counter top is a 3cm you can use a pry bar from the front
VERY NICE
amazing thanks 👌👌
awesome, thanks.!
Amazing 😉
You scared me about the old countertops, you’re absolutely right nobody will buy a house with old countertops, well depending on the buyers, but for good insurance I will definitely replace my countertops before I sell my home!
Great information, you mention that granite can be repaired, can quartz be repaired also?
If you need to update the backslash too, should that be done before installing the countertops or does it not matter?
High end, Long Island, NY General contractor here and carpenter of 35 years..I enjoy your vid's in a strange way. You're a bit of a goof....not really high end but don't claim to be...jack of all trades and master of none. You have a ton of subs so kudos to you. You have a good demeanor so you won't even get mad at me for calling you a goof....double kudos
The granite guy will fix your chipped counter "while you wait"....lmao, it's not an oil change! Cracks me up, this guy
Hi Jeff, How do you remove old silicon caulking in kitchen/bathroom? Do you scrape it with razor? Do you soften it with a hairdryer or freeze with air can before removal? Robert
Would you recommend marble for a counter top? Also, can marble handle heat, unlike quartz?
Ur from Ottawa... how cool
Well, my situation is a LOT more tricky : all my countertops are large tiles (~4" beige squares w/ brown grout), so do I have to demolish all those tiles - or is it possible that this is all one integral countertop but only LOOKS like individual tiles? California house, built in early 1960's....any advice is most welcome!
I love your videos- just wish you would show the project finished 1st, so we can see what you are about to do before we get started.
look awesome
Would have been nice to go over how to cut and install prefab slabs
Is it easy to replace the cabinets after replacing the counter tops without affecting it?
Hahahaha the black eye reference.
Glad to hear someone got that. Cheers!
Home RenoVision DIY I think the first video I ever watched of yours was a black eye flooring video. I was weird out but my floors look great!
Home RenoVision DIY Ha! Exactly!! That was one of the first videos I viewed also. Okay, come on Jeff...since you mentioned it...what the heck happened with your eye? Was it a disgruntled homeowner, an unhappy worker, a ....? Lastly, who won? That was great, I think it was a bathroom remodel video I was watching, where you had the shiner. You trudged forth like nothing happened. That was admirable!
The second video I saw was the black eye as well. I’ve been wondering what happened. 😆. But it’s nice that you can joke about it. I like you so I hope YOU wasn’t the jerk in the situation.
