Why and what should I consider before resurfacing my kitchen countertops instead of replacing them?

Kitchen countertop replacement is a significant and expensive project that warrants consideration of all the options. Be sure to include all the actual costs as well as the hassle and mess of construction before you commit to a traditional removal and replacement makeover. Are you prepared to be without a kitchen for several days or even weeks? Invest the time to research the advantages and disadvantages of the various materials used to construct countertops…typically tile, granite, concrete, solid surface composites like Corian®, engineered stone like Silestone® and Swanstone, or laminates like Formica®.

Countertop replacement may be the best option when totally changing kitchen or bathroom floor plans; however, if your makeover plans do not include altering cabinetry, refinishing is an affordable and attractive alternative. Before choosing countertop replacement, compare the look, cost, and color selection as well as time and mess involved. Resurfacing your existing countertop could be your best option.

Countertop replacement is almost always more expensive than countertop resurfacing. Resurfacing can save you up to 60% compared to replacement with another solid surface countertop option and resurfacing eliminates the mess associated with demolition and construction. In most cases, you can use your kitchen in 48 hours.
