How to find someone to cut your granite when replacing your sink.

 If you are replacing your tired double bowl sink with a new custom workstation sink, you will need a plumber and someone to cut your stone.

1. Ask your countertop supplier: If you purchased your granite countertop from a supplier or contractor, they may be able to recommend a professional who can cut the countertop for your new sink.

2. Search online directories: There are several online directories and marketplaces, such as HomeAdvisor, Houzz.com or Angie's List that can connect you with local professionals who specialize in cutting granite countertops.

3. Check with local hardware stores: Many local hardware stores have connections to contractors and professionals in the area who can provide services like countertop cutting and installation.

4. Ask for referrals: Ask friends, family, or colleagues who have had similar work done on their granite countertops for recommendations on professionals who can cut your countertop for a new sink.

5. Use social media: Social media platforms like Facebook and Nextdoor can be useful for finding recommendations from local community members who have had similar work done on their countertops.

Once you have identified potential professionals, it's important to conduct some research to ensure that they are reputable and experienced in cutting with an angle grinder. An angle grinder with a diamond blade is the typical piece of equipment needed to cut all types of stone and solid surface countertops. Look for reviews and testimonials from previous customers, and ask for references or examples of their past work. You should also ask for a written estimate and inquire about their availability and timelines for completing the project.

This is a partial list of professionals that generally have the equipment and expertise to make cuts in your countertop

1. Tile setters. They regularly use angle grinders to cut tile, and they have a great deal of experience in similar work. 

2. General contractor. Some general contractors are skilled with angle grinders.

3. Granite fabricators. These folks certainly have the skill but are the least likely to offer assistance, as they would rather sell you a new countertop than spend just a couple hours working on your project. 

4. Believe it or not, we have had several homeowners do the work themselves. Virtually all of them had never done this type of work and learned how to operate an angle grinder via YouTube videos!
