If you want to change the countertop you have to take out the sink and cooktop, than you can reach the screwes through the openings.
If you want something done right, do it yourself.

Lots of screws from underneath is all like Marwayne said.

When I took ours out there was 1 screw that I couldn't reach for the life of me, I eventually cut my old countertop out and then was able to reach that last screw in the far corner.

I really wish they didn't make them in particle board.  Nothing like putting particle board right where it will get damaged by water if it soaks into the edges.

The countertop is screwed on from the under side, you have to take out the drawers , take of the door and kinde sorte crawel in there to unscrew it. As far as replacement counter, there all made of particle board unless custom made, I made mine out of 3/4" plywood and put on laminet.

Does anyone know how the kitchen counter top is secured to the cabinets. And does anyone have any suggestions for a replacement. My wife would like a larger sink and want to replace the particle board that is there now. I thought of going to Lowe's to see what they have. Any help would be appreciated.  Thank You     David and Danette
