- [Marble Countertops](https://www.imperialkitchenplus.com/services/marble-countertops/): Marble countertops cost CAD $128–$134 per square foot installed. Marble is calcium carbonate, so acids etch it permanently within seconds — sealing does not prevent this. Fabricated on…

- [Full-Height Backsplashes](https://www.imperialkitchenplus.com/services/full-height-backsplashes/): A slab backsplash removes grout lines entirely and lets the vein carry from counter to upper cabinet. We template it in the same visit as the countertop.
- [Quartzite Countertops](https://www.imperialkitchenplus.com/services/quartzite-countertops/): Quartzite countertops cost CAD $90–$130 per square foot installed. Genuine quartzite is harder than granite and does not etch, but some slabs sold as quartzite are softer dolomitic…

## Frequently asked questions
Q: How much does it cost to paint kitchen cabinets?
A: Painting kitchen cabinets in Canada costs roughly CAD $2,400 for a small kitchen, $3,900 for a typical 30-door kitchen and $5,400 for a large or two-tone kitchen, sprayed and installed.

Q: Is painting cabinets cheaper than replacing them?
A: Yes — substantially. Painting a typical kitchen costs $3,500–$5,500 against $18,000–$40,000 for new cabinets, and takes three to four days instead of four to eight weeks.

Q: Will painted cabinets chip or peel?
A: Not if the preparation is done properly. Failures come from skipping degreasing or using wall-paint primer. We degrease, scuff-sand to 220 grit, use a dedicated bonding primer, then two coats of catalysed 2K polyurethane.

Q: Can you paint oak, thermofoil or laminate cabinets?
A: Oak yes, and we can grain-fill it for a smooth finish. Thermofoil and laminate only if the surface is completely sound — if it is already lifting or peeling, paint will not hold and we will say so.

Q: Do I have to move out while the cabinets are painted?
A: No. The doors leave for our booth on day one and the boxes are sprayed on site behind containment, so the kitchen is usable in the evenings apart from the day the boxes are coated.

Q: How much do countertops cost in Canada?
A: Installed countertops in Canada typically run CAD $60–$135 per square foot. Engineered quartz averages $74–$96, granite $62–$71, and porcelain $112–$118, including template, fabrication, a standard edge, one sink cut-out and installation.

Q: How long does countertop installation take?
A: Most countertop projects are installed 7–10 business days after templating, and the on-site installation itself takes 3–5 hours for a typical kitchen.

Q: Which is better, quartz or granite?
A: Quartz is better for low maintenance because it is non-porous and never needs sealing. Granite is better for heat tolerance and for buyers who want a unique natural slab. Both cost roughly the same installed in Canada.

Q: Will my countertop have a visible seam?
A: Most kitchens need at least one seam because slabs are about 126 × 63 inches. Imperial places seams at sink cut-outs or inside corners and shows you the planned location before fabrication.

Q: Do I need to seal my countertop?
A: Engineered quartz and porcelain never need sealing. Granite, marble and quartzite should be sealed on installation and re-sealed roughly once a year.

Q: Can you install countertops on my existing cabinets?
A: Yes. Imperial installs on existing cabinets provided they are level within about 3 mm over 8 feet and structurally sound. We check this during templating.

Q: Do you remove and dispose of the old countertop?
A: Yes. Yes. Removal and disposal is offered as a line item and includes protecting cabinets and floors during tear-out.

Q: What does the 15-year warranty cover?
A: Imperial’s 15-year transferable warranty covers fabrication defects, seam separation and installation workmanship. Engineered quartz also carries the manufacturer’s own material warranty.

Q: How accurate is the AI countertop visualizer?
A: The visualizer is a design aid, not a colour-accurate proof. It shows realistic slab pattern, tone and contrast on your own kitchen photo, but screen colour and room lighting will shift the result — always confirm with a physical sample.

Q: Do you service all of Canada?
A: Yes. Imperial operates company-owned fabrication in Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia, and installs through vetted partner installers in Quebec, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Atlantic Canada.

Q: What thickness should I choose, 2 cm or 3 cm?
A: Choose 3 cm for kitchen counters and islands — it needs no edge build-up and supports overhangs better. Use 2 cm for vanities, backsplashes and where a thin, modern profile is wanted.

Q: How do I clean and care for my countertop day to day?
A: Use warm water with a pH-neutral dish soap and a soft cloth. Avoid bleach, ammonia, oven cleaner and abrasive pads on any stone or quartz surface.
