Help measuring countertops
 

"trapezoid" type area that is making it difficult to measure the square ft of countertops. Any ideas?

Hey welcome to the site.
Different way of measuring depending on what you want to do.

Husband and I were going to put countertops in ourselves but I don't know how we would do without getting it in 3 pieces, which would be a lot of seams. The current counter only has one seam and I have no idea how they did that with the irregular shape. If I can't figure out, will unfortunately have to hire a pro to do : (

A full sheet if you can find a supplier is 5ft wide 10ft long. Likely that is what they used.

Thanks, makes sense. Didn't know they came that large.

To measure the area you have now, why not do what the professional installers do? Make yourselves a full-sized template, using heavy cardboard and packaging tape. You can cut and fit it perfectly to what's there now (leaving a rectangular hole for the sink opening), and use that as a pattern to lay out and cut your new countertop.
