3 Reasons to Lower Your Raised Kitchen Bar

1. Open Up Your Kitchen

Lowering the raised section clears the view into your living or dining area, making your kitchen feel more open and connected.

2. Make Your Countertop More Useful

One continuous level gives you more flexibility for preparing meals, serving food, or sitting with a laptop.

3. Let Us Handle the Transformation

Gomez Custom Surfaces handles bar lowering and new countertops together, saving you the hassle of arranging a separate contractor for the bar conversion.

3 Things to Know Before Lowering Your Bar

1. Outlets May Need to Move

Want a charging spot near your seating area? Ask about relocating outlets or removing ones no longer needed.

2. Drywall May Need Finishing

Minor cracks or exposed edges can occur during bar lowering. After any needed repairs, a slim wood molding strip can give the transition a sleek, clean finish.

3. Overhangs Need Proper Support

We check your layout and the stone’s support requirements so your new countertop works for seating and everyday use.
