He did a phenomenal job and his work exceeded our expectations. If you have a bathtub that is a weird color (ours was green) or dated countertops,I highly recommend using this company to resurface them. It's cheaper and faster than replacing them, and the quality is excelled. I keep getting compliments on how nice our countertops look. No one seems to ask or care whether its real granite or not. It looks updated and that's all that matters to us! We couldn't be more pleased.

Great job! It looks like a new bathroom. We had a very worn tub/blue shower surround and yellow bathroom tiles.
Ernest took the time to prepare and re-spray all a brilliant white. We keep staring at the room - it's like new!
Can't speak highly enough of both Ernest and the whole process.

Ernest is a man who is honest, dependible and very likeable. He has a really nice, easy going personality and you just know he will do right by you. He took the time to educate me on his process and how it differs from other companies. He is very much into the science of his materials. Go see Ernest's showroom (open by appointment). It sells his resurfacing with a impressionable show-n-tell. Ernest prepped the job by tarping my house from foyer up to the 2nd floor bathroom. He made sure to ventilate the premises and cleaned up after his work was complete. Job start, end, and cost were all done as promised. While putting our toiletries back in the tub, we dinged the new shiny-white finish. Ernest was back next day for a quick repair and he's got a great warranty for future incidents.

Arrived on time, always courteous. Work was completed in a timely manner. I am disappointed that I have been constantly repairing nicks in the finish mostly along the edges where I agreed to a beveled edge instead of the straight one I had. However, Ernest has been very nice about supplying us with plenty of hardener which is needed to make the paint solution to repair the nicks. I know people who have used him for tub resurfacing and they've been very satisfied with his work. I'm still glad I used him because I wanted a specific color and he was able to get it for me.
Response from Mr. Resurface LLC
"I have received calls to repair chips in every type of counter top, from laminate, corian, granite and man made products like quartz silestone. Since the name of my company is MrResurface, some have called thinking I could quickly repair any damaged counter. That is only true if its a counter top I have resurfaced as I will have the same color to do a touch up. The finish I apply to the laminate formica is not exempt from being damaged. Any counter top can be chipped except for a stainless steel counters such as is usually found in restaurants as those would just be dented if something heavy fell on it. The advantage of resurfacing your counter tops has over other processes is that it can be repaired inexpensively. Usually under $100 dollars a resurfaced counter top can be repaired and in this customers case for free as I gave her some of the catalyst for the special order color she wanted as I left the material with her so she could perform repairs herself if need be. If your granite counter is chipped you are looking at a very costly repair to replace a section of the granite. Because of that most people live with the damage or spend $1500 or more to repair it. If something hits the edge of the counter top it can an may chip as I have seen chips on the edges of granite counter tops were an under mount sink meets the counter because of the exposed edge of counter that can be hit by dishes, pots and pans. When I saw the customer's counter who wrote this review there were a couple of chips on the edge that took me less than five minutes to repair. As I stated above, the damage to any other type of counter top is not so easy to repair. I have had customers very happy to know that an accidental drop on their counter did not cost them a lot to repair. I have a showroom that has really impressed people who were able to see and feel how hard and professional the resurfaced counter top is. The showroom is located at 913 Meriden Rd, Waterbury, CT and open by appointment."

Ernest arrived 2 hours late because he failed to confirm my appointment time at least 1 day before.  I have accepted the finished look of my countertops.  It is better than the white, scratched, and seamed laminate countertop that was originally installed in 1989.  However, but it is not a "Corian" looking finish.  It is a sprayed finish and in hindsight, for me, it was not worth the inconvenience and most importantly, the awful smell that other customers have previously mentioned with this process.  If anyone has sinus problems or is hypersensitive to smells, please do not attempt this process when you have to live in the house.  The fumes and odor are so bad you can taste it.  Do not go near the work area without a mask or respirator.  The 3 coats of paint and the epoxy (shiny sealant) have a smell that burns the sinuses and caused me a sore throat for days afterward.  The toxic smell stays in the house for 4-5 days afterwards.  You cannot use your kitchen for at least 3-5 days until it fully cures and dries.  You cannot tolerate this smell in weather when the windows and doors must be shut.  Ernest uses a large fan while he is there but takes it with him when he leaves.  However, again in hindsight, I would have asked him to leave it (or more than 1 fan) at least overnight or for a couple of days to try to dissipate the fumes quicker (if that is even possible). When I told Ernest of my being sick afterwards, he denies that anyone has experienced this reaction to his process.  I find this hard to believe--it is an uncomfortable, if not unhealthy process for humans (and pets--which I do not have). Ernest does do a good job at taping the area off, but it is a messy job because sanding and spraying is involved.  The spray hangs in the air and dirt and dust travels throughout the house.  I had asked Ernest to tape off the living room from the kitchen but he refused as it would interfere with the fan.  I should have insisted.  I thought the price was high because there is little competition for this work.  It is less expensive than replacing the countertops and backsplash but I'm now doubting it is less of a mess to refinish vs replace, and you can immediately use your kitchen when the work is done.  P.S.  There is extra costs involved for a plumber to remove sink, move gas stove and possibly the refrigerator (water line) that is not included in this work.

Earnest arrived promptly at the time arranged.
At my request to protect the newly refinished hallway & stairway , he laid a tarp & plastic covering from my doorway to the upstairs bathroom.  I had prepped the bathroom by removing everything that was not attached. Earnest protected the entire area surrounding the tub with a paper covering and plastic drape.
The job was completed this morning in less than 3 hrs.
There is an odor.  I do not have a window  in this bathroom so I have the windows open in the surrounding rooms with the vents & fans going. The area was pretty clean when Earnest was finished and I only had to do a quick vacuum & light dusting of the bathroom &  hallway from a little paint dust.
Earnest is punctual, polite and professional.  I would use him again and would recommend him to my friends.

I am extremely pleased with the outcome and the work done. Ernest was very helpful with any questions I had in regards to prep work, and promptly returned E-mails even during the weekend. He showed up on time and is very friendly and pleasant to deal with. He is very professional in what he does, and his work is outstanding.
We have a couple of more projects coming up, and will definitely use him again. Overall a great experience, and highly recommended. I was blown away by the result.

Ernest responded to my service request promptly.  I contacted him because I was familiar with the quality of his work from a similar  job he did for us nearly 4 years ago.  The original bath and shower surround he resurfaced has held up beautifully, so we decided to have the same type of work done in another bathroom.  He came when he said he would, the work was completed in the time estimated (approx 5 hours), the price was as quoted, and the job was meticulously done. We now have a beautiful new bathtub for a fraction of the cost of installing an acrylic liner. I would highly recommend his services. I did contact another bath re-finisher just to double check his pricing both 4 years ago and before hiring him this time.  Ernest's prices were most competitive on both occasions.  I would highly recommend his services.

Ernest did a great job. The refinished bathtub/shower unit looks brand new. It took him about 4-1/2 hours, and we were able to use the unit 24 hours after he finished. My husband and I are so impressed that we will be retaining him to resurface our laminate kitchen counters.

Ernest arrived and started the prep work. Like most of the time the prep work is everything. Ernest was careful to protect the walls where his equipment brushed against. The actual resurfacing took little time. Clean up was very quick. Beyond anyone's control, but for informational purposes the residual odor took slightly less than a week to evacuate. Very professional service and good background music as well!

When I called Ernie promptly called me and we set up an appointment. He was very neat and professional when he did the job. The smell was strong but we had exterior windows in both bathrooms, so it was liveable. The units looked great. After using the units for awhile I noticed a small slightly rought spot in the shower unit. I called Ernie and he again promptly returned my call and we set up a time for him to come and look at it. When he came he was able to fix the spot very quickly. We are happy with the results and would recommend him for painting fiberglass units a different color.

Ernest did an excellent job. He was able to make this badly pitted and scratched surface look
like new! He spent several hours working on it, because the tub was in bad condition to start.
I had not realized how bad it was, and had not been able to let him know in advance that this
would be a particularly time-consuming job. But in spite of this, Ernest stayed and finished
the job in  about five hours of continuous work, with care and professionalism. He arrived on time, explained what
was needed, why price adjustment was needed, and worked for hours until it was completely finished and looked like
new. I had never seen it looking so well! I would recomend this company and would
definitely use Mr. Resurface  again.


Response from Mr. Resurface LLC
"This job was an old large square farmers tub with to seats. It was a beast to strip and it had a lot of filling that needed to be done. I got the tub showroom ready five hours later. Thanks for the kind review."

From our first conversation Ernest was professional + helpful in planning this project. The original est. was the final price, any questions we asked Ernest supplied answers. Finally, Ernest was very careful from his first step in the preparation of the job to making sure that he left our home in the state it was when he first arrived. He left our home the better due to his professional workmanship, thanks Ernest.
I highly recommend Ernest.
