Longmont countertops for kitchens, baths and every room in between
Boulder County
Service area: Boulder County
Counter Top Sales installs granite, quartz, marble, quartzite and soapstone countertops in Longmont, and a common first question from Longmont homeowners is simple: can we do the kitchen and the bathrooms at the same time? Yes. We're a Denver-based team, and we travel to Longmont for consultations, free in-home measurements and installation.
Longmont has an older core around downtown and Main Street, and a lot of newer neighborhoods spreading out from it. Plenty of those newer homes came with builder-grade laminate or cultured marble, and their owners are ready for stone. Older homes bring different questions, mostly about walls, cabinets and what's hiding under the old top.

Replacing builder-grade tops in newer Longmont homes
Swapping laminate for stone is a common upgrade in newer homes. It's also where small details catch people off guard, so we check them at the measurement.
Cabinets and thickness
Stone slabs usually come in 2 cm and 3 cm thicknesses. A 3 cm top typically sits directly on the cabinets, and it's heavier than laminate. We check that the boxes are level and sound before anything gets templated.
Dishwashers, sinks and backsplash
Dishwashers that screwed into the underside of a laminate top need side-mount brackets with stone. A drop-in sink can become an undermount. And because a new top can sit at a slightly different height, plan on resetting or replacing a tile backsplash in many cases.
Doing the whole house at once
Kitchen, primary bath, hall bath, basement bar. If you're planning several rooms, bring them all to one consultation. You can match materials across the house or pick each one for its job, which often makes more sense.
- Kitchens: granite or quartz for heavy daily use, quartzite if you want a natural marble look that resists scratches
- Primary bath: marble works well here, since vanities see less acid and heat than a kitchen
- Kids' and guest baths: quartz shrugs off toothpaste, makeup and missed spills
- Wet bars: granite or quartz for stain resistance under wine and mixers
Longmont weather and outdoor bars
Longmont sits at about 5,000 feet on the plains just east of the foothills, with dry air, strong sun and cold winter nights. Indoors, stone handles that easily. Outdoors is another story.
If you're planning a patio bar, freeze-thaw cycles and hail are the main concerns. Water that soaks into porous stone can freeze and expand, so a dense, well-sealed granite is the usual choice. We don't recommend quartz outside, since the resin binder isn't made for full sun, and most manufacturers say so too.
How it works from first contact to install
We start with a consultation and material recommendations. Then comes the free in-home measurement at your Longmont home, fabrication of every piece, and installation. Estimates are free, quotes arrive within 24 hours, and there's no obligation or pressure. Our hours are Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Erie, Firestone and Frederick are covered too
We also serve Erie, Firestone and Frederick, the neighboring towns to the southeast and east of Longmont. Much of the housing there is newer, so the builder-grade upgrade notes above apply. Same free estimate, same in-home measurement.

Countertop questions from Longmont
Do you install countertops in Longmont?
Yes. We're based in Denver and serve Longmont, with free estimates and free in-home measurement. We handle kitchens, bathroom vanities and wet bars.
Can you replace laminate countertops with stone in a newer Longmont home?
Yes. We check cabinet level and condition, plan for dishwasher brackets and sink changes, and let you know up front if the backsplash will need attention.
Do you serve Erie, Firestone and Frederick?
Yes. All three are in our service area, with the same free estimate, free in-home measurement and quote within 24 hours.
What's the most practical countertop for a busy family kitchen?
Quartz and granite are the usual answers. Quartz is non-porous and never needs sealing. Granite handles hot pans better and suits sunny spots. We'll go over both with samples during the consultation.
Is it cheaper to do the kitchen and bathrooms together?
We can't promise a discount, but quoting everything at once gives you one clear number and lets us plan material use across rooms. Total cost depends on materials, square footage, cutouts, edges and tear-out. Request a free estimate and you'll have a quote within 24 hours.
