Would love to replace my ugly kitchen countertop with granite, Quartz, marble but haven't a clue how to cut, sand, grind, install one. Is this something best left to a pro?

Already have a handheld cutter with diamond blade that may be to cut through the slab.
 
This is one thing I'd leave to a pro. Make a mistake and it can be an expensive one, let alone the tools besides a grinder to do it.

Just my :2cents:
 
My friend hired a pro and all they use was a grinder and diamond holes saw cutter. Looked pretty simple but I'm afraid to try it :)
 
The problem is if they screw up, they bought it. If you screw up, well I guess you could easily go down and pick up another 2 ton slab of granite for a few grand and try it again...?
 
Have you looked at these products, just asking.

For basic granite, most supply houses carry premade slabs that either already do or don't have a sink hole cut in them. Still it is some work to put them in and like everyone else says if you crack one you are screwed. I did tile for years and am very handy and I would still leave it to the pro.
 
Wow that kit looking mighty nice. I Think it's a good option if I decided to forgo on the granite.

I'll check the local supply house this weekend to see if they have any prefab slab. Will report Back later
