Allen Elite Custom Cabinets provides professional countertops in Allen, TX for residential and commercial properties across Collin County. The counters that came with Allen's 2000s and 2010s houses are usually a three-centimetre granite in a busy brown and black pattern, or a laminate in the entry-level plans. Both date a kitchen faster than the cabinets underneath them do.
Granite is not worn out at fifteen years. It is out of fashion, which is a different problem with a different answer. If the slab is sound, the seams are tight and the pattern is quiet, the honest advice is to keep it, change the doors and the wall colour, and revisit stone in a few years. The dark, heavily veined slabs are the ones that fight everything else and usually have to go.
For replacement in this price band we specify engineered quartz more often than natural stone. It is non-porous, needs no sealing, and the low-movement whites and greys are what buyers here expect when a kitchen opens onto a family room. Quartz dislikes heat, so a trivet rule applies, and it should never run outdoors where direct sun yellows the resin.
Two details decide whether the finished job reads current or builder-grade, and they are the edge and the overhang. A square eased edge looks like now, a bullnose looks like 2004. A seating overhang past ten inches wants steel flat bar or corbels, and quartz needs more support than granite of the same thickness because the resin permits more deflection.
Sequencing matters too. Counters are templated after the cabinets are set and levelled, never before, and the template is a laser scan of what actually got installed. Anyone quoting stone off your old counters is guessing. We book the template for the day after the boxes go in, which puts slabs on site roughly ten days later.
Backsplash timing catches people out. Tile goes on after the stone, so the kitchen is usable but unfinished for a week or two in between, and that gap is normal rather than a scheduling failure. Decide on outlet placement and under-cabinet lighting before the tile setter arrives.
With 15+ years of experience, our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — furniture-grade plywood carcasses, dadoed and glued box joints, five-piece painted MDF door panels, full-extension undermount drawer slides, six-way adjustable European hinges, catalysed conversion varnish — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Allen and nearby communities including Plano, Frisco, McKinney, Garland.

Materials, equipment and how we do countertops
The difference between countertops that lasts and countertops that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with furniture-grade plywood carcasses, dadoed and glued box joints, five-piece painted MDF door panels, full-extension undermount drawer slides, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Allen job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. 15+ years of cabinet work in Collin County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
