"Cannot say enough about GMT! They were so responsive and willing to help fix a bad install job on countertops done previously by a different company. There were other issues in our kitchen, such as a corroded garbage disposal, wobbly island, poor sink installation, and an incorrectly cut backsplash. They addressed and repaired all of of these issues on top of repairing the countertops! Very impressed with their work, and will be using them again for future projects."

Countertops and Backsplashes questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can change the color of concrete countertops multiple times. If you use paint rather than a stain, you can go from dark to light, but if you are only using a stain, you can go from light to dark.

There are many differences between solid surface and quartz countertops. Whether one is as good as the other will depend on what you value most in a counter. These two materials are nonporous, although quartz is more durable. Some people may prefer the look of quartz, although they’re both available in many different colors and designs.

When installing an undermount kitchen sink in a granite countertop, use 100% silicone to secure the basin. If you’re worried your sink is too heavy, speak with a countertop professional about how to adhere the sink to the countertop without worrying about issues down the road. Sagging undermount sinks can be a common plumbing problem if they’re not properly adhered, so always make sure you’re using a high-quality material.

Sealed concrete countertops stand up well to everyday kitchen mishaps, including spills and burns. However, to prevent burn marks from forming, it’s best to use a hot pad or trivet under pans rather than placing them directly on the countertop. Learn the pros and cons of concrete countertops to decide if this material is right for your kitchen.

Laminate countertops are affordable, durable, and available in various styles and colors.
