Estimates/Orders
The process of acquiring an estimate for your new counter top is relatively
simple. Orders, however, require a bit more information and expertise. For
guaranteed results, J&W recommends that you arrange for one of their expert
technicians to measure your job.
To receive an estimate or to place an order,
we ask that you submit a drawing of the counter top(s) accompanied by our Estimate/Order Form (below). Be sure to include
all of the requested information. Remember, estimates are subject to final
field measurements.
Your Tools for Estimates and Orders
The following PDF files will help you provide us with the required information:
Guidelines For Your Counter Top Estimate/Order
Measurements
Take careful measurements. Be sure to allow for a cabinet overhang. If your
drawing is to be used for an order, remember that most walls are not perfectly
straight
and most corners are not square. Accurate indications of these variances are
extremely important.
- Indicate length & depth (including overhangs)
- Cabinet drawings and/or dimensions are helpful, but are insufficient
for an order or quote to be placed.
Backsplashes
Determine what height backsplash you desire (if you want a backsplash at
all). There may be restrictions with regard to backsplash height depending
upon the
type of counter top chosen. Contact a J&W customer service representative
for additional information.
- Indicate any backsplashes with a line drawn parallel to the wall. Note
laminate bevel or wood edge with XX. Note outside measurement (height)
of backsplash if it is not a standard size.
Sinks & Ranges
Indicate the dimensions and placement of any sink or range cutout in
your drawing. Specify the manufacturer and model number so that we
will know
the exact cutout
dimensions. The placement of sink and range cutouts should be indicated
by providing the cutout’s centerline measurement from the counter’s wall end.
If measuring from a finished end, remember to allow for the counter’s overhang.
Type
Include information about the counter top type (laminate, stone,
stainless steel, etc.). Use the Counter Tops menu for a complete
listing of product
offerings.
Counter Top Color & Finish
Include the color name and finish (if applicable) for your counter
top(s). Color options for all types of counters can be found
on the J&W website.
Fabrication Details
Details such as edge profiles, arcs, radius corners, bevel dubs,
diagonal corners, aprons, and end splashes should be shown
in your drawing with
the necessary
dimensions included. See both the Edge Profiles link and the
Options link for additional
information relevant to your type of counter top.
- Indicate wall and finished ends with a “W” for a wall and “X” for
finished.
- Indicate beveled or wood edge finished ends with “XX.”
- Note, diagonal corners require a cabinet measurement.
Laminate Counter

Laminate counters are offered in three primary styles: Post-formed,
Edge Veneer, and Post-formed/Edge Veneer (hybrid). Numerous
