Meridian Quality Countertops shop-cuts an undermount sink cutout in Meridian, Idaho as part of a quartz or granite top, not as a mystery hole on an installed deck. The inside of the cut is polished. The bowl hangs on clips and epoxy. Faucet holes are a separate drill.

Undermount Sink Cutout Options for Meridian Properties

Shop-polished undermount bowls

The CNC follows the template of the actual sink. Reveal can be positive, flush, or negative. Flush is the usual ask. A positive reveal shows a rim of stone. We set the reveal on the file, not on site with a grinder.

Farm apron and fireclay

An apron sink needs a cabinet that is already cut for the apron and a stone plane that dies into the fireclay. Fireclay is not square. We template the actual bowl. A cardboard stand-in is how the apron misses.

Drop-in stainless on existing stone

A new drop-in on an old hole is a different job than a shop undermount. We can open a hole on a set top in some cases. Edge polish on site will not match a shop wheel. Say that before we grind.

Faucet and soap holes after set

Some decks get faucet holes drilled on site so the spread matches the backsplash tile. Most get drilled in the shop to the 4-inch or 8-inch you bought. A third hole for soap is cheap compared to a wrong spread.

How We Handle Undermount Sink Cutout in Meridian

1. Have the actual sink on the job or a verified model number.
2. Template the cabinet and mark centerline.
3. CNC the hole. Polish the inside. Drill faucet holes.
4. Dry-fit the bowl on a shop table if the corner is cramped.
5. On set day, epoxy and clip the bowl. Leave it clamped for the cure.

Materials and Methods

Undermounts hang from the stone, not from the cabinet alone. Clips, epoxy, and a support cradle share the load. A heavy fireclay apron needs extra blocking in the box. We cut quartz, granite, and marble. Laminate cannot take a true undermount without a special build, and we usually say no. Diamond wheels and a CNC keep the radius of the bowl. A 1.5-bowl or a 60/40 split is two radii in one cut. We do not freehand that on a finished island. Silicone at the stone-to-bowl joint is the water line. Skip it and the plywood under the deck swells.

Undermounts hang from the stone with clips, epoxy, and a cradle. CNC diamond wheel cuts the radius. Fireclay apron needs extra blocking. 3cm quartz or granite. Silicone at the stone-to-bowl joint. We do not freehand a 60/40 split on a finished island. Laminate cannot take a true undermount without a special build. Bring the bowl in the box. Garbage disposals add weight.

Bring the sink in the box, not a screenshot. Fireclay brands vary by a few millimeters. The CNC file is the bowl on the floor, not the PDF. A 60/40 split needs the larger bowl on the side you actually use. We will not guess left or right. Garbage disposals add weight. We want clips plus epoxy, not clips alone. If a plumber insists on same-day water, we still wait on the epoxy. That wait is the difference between a hanging bowl and a bowl on the floor.

Faucet spreads are 4-inch, 8-inch, or a single hole. Widespread with a wrong spread is a row of extra holes you will see forever. Bring the faucet or the spec sheet. Soap dispensers, air gaps, and filtered-water taps are extra drills. Each one is cheap next to a wrong bowl. If this is a second sink on an island, it still needs a shop cut. We do not saber-saw a 3cm island in a finished house. If the top is already in and you want a second prep bowl, that is an on-site risk we may decline. Shop cuts exist for a reason.

We do not post a menu price.

Undermount Sink Cutout Questions

Is the bowl cut in the shop or on site?

Undermounts are shop-cut so the inside polish is even. A farm apron may need a site check. Drop-in stainless can be a simpler hole. Bring the sink to template.

What if I change sinks after template?

The hole is the sink you brought. A new bowl is a new cut, and the stone may not have the meat left. Do not buy a different model after we digitize.

How much is an extra hole?

Angi lists a granite sink cut-out around $100. HomeAdvisor lists sink cutouts about $100 to $300 and faucet holes $20 to $125. Those are national figures. We quote the actual bowl.
