"I recently hired Prime Surface Solutions for a major home update, and I can't say enough about the outstanding work they did! Jett and his team tackled tile repair, tile grout repair, new countertops, and a complete shower installation with incredible skill and professionalism. The tile repair was flawless-cracked tiles in our bathroom and kitchen were replaced seamlessly, blending perfectly with the existing ones. The grout repair was equally impressive; they restored crumbling grout lines to look brand new, using high-quality materials that have held up beautifully. Our new countertops are a game-changer-gorgeous, durable, and installed with precision that transformed our kitchen's look and feel. The new shower installation was the highlight: they designed and built a modern, spacious shower that's both functional and stunning, with every detail (from tiling to fixtures)executed perfectly. Jett was communicative, punctual, and ensured everything was completed on time. GOOD JOB"

"They were sub-contractors for a purchase through a local chain outlet.  All work was performed by them, though.  Measure was prompt and on-schedule.  Installation was the same.  We had a second date set for backsplash as we had a window ledge that needed precise measurement.  Jeremy had time a day ahead, as did we, so that work was done before scheduling.  Our new sinks were quite a bit deeper and did not match the existing drain configuration.  Chad's dad (Bob) does this kind of work and was able to come over and do the work the same day for a reasonable cost even following up when our new disposal drain flange was not compatible with the Blanco sinks that we purchased with the countertops.
Sadly, Chad and his outfit have been almost too good and are able to concentrate on more custom work;  but hopefully will still be available for us "regular" customers.

"I had a very positive experience. It took me a while to make all the decisions; however, Duane was very patient and never pushy.  He is very calm and professional.  If he says he will be there, he will be there. He is easy to have in your home and cleans up when the work is done.  He is an excellent craftsman and cares about his work.  I could not be more pleased with the outcome!

Countertops and Backsplashes questions, answered by experts

Laminate countertops can last between 10 and 30 years, though a more common estimate is 10 to 15 years. The exact lifespan depends heavily on usage and how well they are maintained. Because they are a budget-friendly option, they are more prone to scorching and scratches than other materials. You can extend their lifespan with daily maintenance using a soft cleaner and regular sealing.

There are several significant differences between laminate and quartz countertops. Quartz is much pricier than laminate but can last for decades, while laminate lasts around 15 years. Laminate can’t be repaired or resealed and is easier to damage than quartz, which can be repaired. Both quartz and laminate are prone to heat damage. Usually, the choice comes down to your budget.

Countertop overlays can be a worthwhile investment for homeowners looking for an affordable and fuss-free way to update their kitchens without a full replacement. The installation process is budget-friendly, saves time and labor, and can often be completed in a single day as it doesn't require demolition. Overlays are installed directly over the pre-existing countertop, with material options including quartz, granite, and recycled glass. However, for the overlay to be long-lasting, it is crucial that the underlying surface is properly prepped to ensure strong adhesion.

Rubbing alcohol won’t damage most countertops, and you can mix it with water to create a disinfecting spray to keep your kitchen clean. It’s safer than using bleach on countertops, which can stain and cause discoloration. Be careful with rubbing alcohol when it comes to lacquered or varnished surfaces, though.

Quartz countertops are known for their durability, but they aren’t indestructible. Quartz countertops can crack under extreme pressure, like when experiencing a heavy impact. The same can happen with regular exposure to high temperatures. Finally, improper installation makes the quartz more vulnerable.
