Outdated countertops can give your home an aged and unfinished look, but replacing them can be expensive, especially for first-time homeowners. The good news is that countertop resurfacing and refinishing offer a cost-effective alternative. By rejuvenating your old countertops, you can give them a fresh appearance and transform the entire room.
What Is Countertop Resurfacing?
Countertop resurfacing involves filling in cuts and scrapes and applying an acrylic coating to the existing countertop. This process works for both kitchen and bathroom countertops made from Formica, cultured marble, and tile.
The process starts with cleaning the counters and repairing any damage. Once the filler cures, the countertops are sanded down to create a suitable surface for the new coating. The bonding agent is applied, followed by the surfacing material. Homeowners can choose the color of the surfacing material and the flecks added to it. This allows customization to match the room’s existing color scheme or preferred paint sample. Finally, an acrylic topcoat is applied to protect the surface. After curing, which typically takes about three days, the countertops are ready to be used as usual. The entire process takes less than a week, providing a quick transformation for homeowners.
Resurfaced countertops can extend the countertop’s lifespan for ten years or more, with proper care and maintenance.
An Affordable and Eco-Friendly Choice
Countertop resurfacing is a cost-effective alternative to complete countertop replacement, resulting in significant cost savings, especially when compared to custom countertop installations. It requires less installation time, uses cheaper materials, and eliminates the need for old countertop removal.
Aside from affordability, resurfacing countertops is also eco-friendly. By choosing resurfacing over replacement, you can help reduce the number of countertops ending up in landfills, contributing to a more sustainable approach to home renovations.
