Step 2 Lay Out the Tops
2.1
Tops will arrive at a job site
with joints already cut and matched.
Carefully measure the counter
surfaces to confirm the layout and
determine if any cuts to the length
must be made.
Confirm location and direction of any
joints and finished ends.
Calculate needed sizes from material
supplied.
2.2
Examine the walls in the area where tops will be installed. Use a carpenters square against a level or straight-
edge. A carpenters square by itself can yield inaccurate results.
Identify out-of-square conditions at corners as well as humps and recesses along the length of a wall. The point here is
to determine if out-of-square conditions will require the top to be longer than what the space measures in length.
