"Jimi is congenial, knowledgeable, and his quoted price was reasonable. The work that was supposed to be done in less than 2 months, took 5 months. Most of the work was done pretty well. However, 2 major issues, both of which required extensive followup. As other reviewers have said, Jimi says he will show up and doesn't, makes a lot of promises he doesn't keep. First problem, master shower threshold tile was laid sloping in wrong direction so that water flowed out of the shower into the bathroom and bedroom. Despite repeated calls and promises to fix the issue, it was not addressed for 7 months, and only after threat to call Arizona Registrar of Contractors. Second major problem, plumbing under kitchen sink was done incorrectly with the drain set too low so that water barely can escape. Have had several significant floodings in the kitchen as a result. Another plumber said I was looking at over $1,000 to completely redo the plumbing and to remove/replace drywall to access the plumbing. Now I also probably have mold issues. 4-5 months later Jimi still won't come fix the problem, even though he admitted that he fired the plumber who was originally on my job during the middle of the job because he was incompetent. I cannot recommend 1st Choice Surfaces and I believe you will have the same problem with reliability and communication that has been cited by several reviewers and myself."

"I cannot say enough about Aaron Schwarder and Schwarder Construction. We bought a home that had not been updated since 1964. Plumbing included. Aarons crews redid both baths and the kitchen. Beautiful bright Carrera look tile, white counter tops, beadboard, wainscoting. New light and plumbing fixtures. Kitchen went from dark and cave like with fluorescent lights in plexiglass recessed ceiling thing, to raised ceiling, high end appliances, beadboard cabinets and an open to the dining room floor plan. Aaron was not satisfied with the cabinet surfaces and repainted them himself. All custom cabinets. Very important to me is the comfort level of having people working in my home. It can be awkward, to say the least. Aaron's guys are very respectful and always clean up at the end of the day, even if they are coming back in the morning. They were very careful not to let the animals escape. Recently I called the home depot pro desk with some questions about installing a new entry door and the first name they gave me was Schwarder Construction. I was raised to believe that a man's word is his worth. You can take Aaron at his word. 5 stars only because you cannot rate higher."

Countertops and Backsplashes questions, answered by experts
To help painted countertops last, you’ll need to add a fresh coat every couple of years. You can also help increase the life span of your painted countertops by adding a durable sealer on top. This might be a resin or water-based acrylic topcoat. Either way, allow the sealer to cure for the full recommended time period, which may range between seven and 10 days.
A countertop is a broad term that applies to multiple rooms in the house, like kitchens and bathrooms. Meanwhile, a vanity top is specifically associated with bathroom cabinets. In short, all vanity tops are countertops, but not all countertops are vanity tops. When discussing a bathroom, the phrases “countertop” and “vanity top” are used interchangeably.
Ideally, a pot filler should not be centered but rather installed to the left or right of the cooking surface to avoid having to reach over the hot area to access it. If this arrangement isn't possible, you can technically center a pot filler above the cooking surface, but you'll need to take care not to burn yourself. Also, the filler itself will become hot from a large boiling pot or stovetop.
Quartz can be slightly cheaper than granite, but it depends on the grade of the material. For instance, a high-grade quartz could be more expensive than a low-grade granite. The price of granite can tick higher because it requires sealing, while quartz does not, and it’s also slightly more difficult to install, increasing labor costs.
Yes, you can install a new layer of laminate over old laminate if you want to save time and money. The most important part of this project is cleaning the existing countertop thoroughly. Then, you will need to sand the surface and apply contact cement, after which you can install the new laminate layer on top. Other options for improving your existing laminate countertops include painting them or installing an epoxy counter on top.
