"Jim, Steve, Clint and the rest of their crew were great. They would quickly respond to changes or fixes required to get the job done right. Finished product is everything I expected. After working with some flaky contractors in the past, Crestone was a refreshing group to do business with.

Countertops and Backsplashes questions, answered by experts

Terrazzo is considered an eco-friendly and sustainable material because it is often made from recycled materials, such as chips of glass, marble, or polished metal, which helps reduce waste. While the epoxy resin used as a binder has its own environmental impact, it requires relatively low energy for production and does not release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) once fully cured, which helps lower the overall carbon footprint.

If you are building a laminate countertop from scratch, instead of buying premade laminate countertops, you can use particle board underneath the laminate. You will need to use a sheet of particle board for the substrate, along with four-inch strips underneath the edges. For proper installation, make sure that any seams are level and use a sander as necessary before installing the laminate.

You should use glue and screws when installing butcher block countertops. Opt for a construction adhesive or wood glue applied along the top edge of your base cabinets. For added strength, install support brackets on the base cabinets, then secure your countertop with screws. Make sure you only tighten the screws to the point where the butcher block is snug against the cabinet and don’t overtighten.

The frequency for sealing granite countertops depends on several factors, including the type of sealant used, the color of the granite, and how heavily the countertops are used. As a general guideline, resealing is often recommended every 12 to 18 months, but some sources suggest it could be as often as every few months or at least once a year.

The type of sealant is a major factor: water-based sealants may need reapplication every six months to a year, while more durable solvent-based sealants can last for five to 10 years. Additionally, factors like heavy kitchen traffic, frequent use of acidic cleaners, and lighter granite colors may require more frequent sealing to prevent staining.

To determine if your countertops need resealing, you can perform a simple water test. Place a few drops of water or a wet paper towel on an inconspicuous area of the granite. After 10 to 15 minutes, check the spot. If the water has beaded up, the seal is still intact. If the water has been absorbed and darkened the stone, it's time to apply a new coat of sealant. You can choose to seal the granite yourself or hire a professional to ensure it's done correctly.

While porcelain countertops are durable and don’t chip easily once installed, they aren’t chip-proof. If they’re subject to blunt force, chips, cracks, or other damage can occur. Unless you’re very confident in your installation abilities, hiring a local countertop installation company will reduce the risk of damage.
