"Honest and professional. The team did a great job. Communicated the whole time. Was super accommodating to me and the family. Would recommend to everyone. I had a leaky toilet that leaked for far too long and destroyed parts of the subfloor and the ceiling of the room underneath. Everything was repaired, reinforced, and picked new tile too. "

"We had them redo a Frankenstein-esque back patio that came with the house, and added in a walkway to the side sidewalk and a new magnolia tree with a planter. The work took longer than either of us expected, but that is most likely due to their relatively small size. I don’t mind helping out small, local businesses, and these folks are certainly worthy. They did an excellent job and a reasonable price."

Countertops and Backsplashes questions, answered by experts

A minimum overhang of 10 to 12 inches is generally recommended to provide enough legroom and space for individuals to comfortably sit at the island. This overhang allows for proper alignment of stools or chairs under the countertop, ensuring occupants can comfortably tuck their legs beneath the island while seated. 

However, for increased comfort and functionality, some homeowners may opt for a larger overhang, ranging from 15 to 18 inches, which provides ample space for leg movement and allows for a more relaxed dining experience.

Countertop resurfacing for laminate countertops can last 5 to 10 years or more. The countertop's longevity depends on the quality of the resurfacing materials, the amount of wear and tear the countertops experience, and how well they are maintained. Avoiding heat damage, using cutting boards to prevent scratching, and cleaning with a non-abrasive cleaner are ways to boost your countertop's lifespan.

Yes, you can put hot pans on your granite surface without worrying about cracking. This durable, heat-resistant stone can handle temperatures over 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit. However, it’s still good practice to use a pot trivet. There’s a risk that leaving a hot pot on a granite countertop for long periods can cause discoloration. Also, the pot can heat the granite, and an unsuspecting family member could burn their hand if they place it on the surface soon after the pot is removed.

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.

The standard kitchen countertop height is 36 inches, so a 37-inch countertop should work fine. However, if you’re 5’4” or shorter, a 37-inch countertop might be too high. Ideally, the countertop will be three to four inches below your elbows.
