When it comes to installation, leave anything that involves plumbing, electricity, or gas lines to the pros.

Yes, a 12-inch countertop overhang will need support to keep it stable. The exact type of support depends on your countertop thickness and material. Thicker, heavier countertops need extra support, like a corbel or a post, to keep them from sagging or toppling over.

Choosing the right countertop material means balancing price, quality, and budget. However, there are a few popular high-end choices when it comes to countertops that many homeowners use to elevate their bathroom aesthetic:

Granite: A unique material that comes in a variety of colors.
Quartz: One of the hardest natural and richest minerals. Learn more about quartz versus granite countertops.
Cultured marble: A natural stone that is durable and features a high-end look.
