Question Hi,
How do we install new granite base kitchen cabinets without removing the granite countertop?
Answer Hi Haresh Sujab,
it is impossible to install new kitchen cabinets with out removing the counter tops because the counter top is too heavy and fragile to support it's self alone and further more the granite has a sealant applied to the cabinets and the tops to hold it in place. Also the new cabinets will have to be plumbed and leveled before the top can be put back on.
You can have a counter top shop remove the tops for you and reinstall them when you are finished with the new cabinets.
