"After years of painting our home it was time to move up to a better solution. After searching the Better Business Bureau for local companies Krumwiede Home Pros stood out. They were top rated with 0 complaints. We were even able to initiate contact for a quote through the BBB. Michael was our salesperson and he was upfront and honest in capabilities and pricing. The pricing was so great we even upgraded to an insulated vinyl siding and we were still under what others quoted. We then met with Ross the production manager who went over every aspect of the job with us. This was great because we worked out any issues ahead of time. There were no surprises and we were all on the same page. The 2 gentlemen who came to do the work were great also. They showed up on time and worked hard everyday. They never left a mess and were easy to communicate with. We are very happy with the whole experience and our house looks awesome! Thanks Krumwiede Home Pros we are happy we met you!"

"Andre did a great job on the tub. He was very professional and knowledgable. He also seemed like a nice, trustworthy guy which is important when you have someone working inside your home. His initial visit was a few months before the work was actually able to be done. We could have saved him that trip had we known the details in advance of what would and wouldn't work (we had drywall that needed to be completed before he could do his work.) But, he didn't seem annoyed by this and took the time to explain how much it would cost to do the inside and outside of the tub and a little about the process. He even lightly sanded off a black mark from our other vintage tub that I hadn't been able to remove. Once we had the drywall done, it was very easy to reschedule. He was able to do the work in one day. The inside of our tub had many areas chipping off, the outside was just worn and old and unevenly painted. It looks very shiny and new now. He gave us maintenance tips, which was helpful and important. We're very happy with the work he did and we would definitely use him again.

"I am so pleased with my new countertops, if you had a 10 rating it would be that. Tommy is a soft spoken, knowledgeable , very nice person. I bought my home in September '20, and the countertops were a mess, a big mess, with several mitered cuts. Exotic Countertop Creations, (Tommy) did not have to deal with those mitered cuts. He designed solid countertop forms, (one being very large) and avoided those mitered cuts. He brought samples of his work, we discussed the colors and design I liked,. He then proviced 3 samples using all the info gathered in our meeting. All 3 would have actually been good for my kitchen, but I chose the one with the Carrera marble design. He then came back to get correct measurements so he could make the forms. And when he doubted one of the measurements, came back again just to be sure. What great customer service!!! My countertops are gorgeous, exactly the look I wanted and exactly what I wanted, and at a reasonable price. Tommy's attention to detail and customer satisfaction is top notch. I am so happy I chose his company to give me an estimate . Prior to meeting with him, I knew all those miter cuts was going to drive the price of countertops up up up...and he can avoid that. So if you have that issue, give Tommy a call!! If Tommy can provide before/after pictures, he really should. They look so nice I don't want to put anything on them, they are beautiful. I was like a little kid when they all got put in. I am so so happy. Exotic Countertop Creations is an excellent choice for countertops for anywhere you may need them! 10 Star rating Tommy! Thank you Exotic Countertop Creations!!!"

Countertops and Backsplashes questions, answered by experts

While Formica® countertops are scratch-resistant, they are not fully scratch-proof. They will develop marks on their upper decorative layer more easily than quartz, granite, or porcelain tile. Always use cutting boards for food prep and avoid dragging heavy items, such as blenders or big pots, across the surfaces.

Granite countertops cost an average of $3,250 compared to $2,250 for tile countertops. Granite is also harder to DIY than tile, given its weight and bulk, which increases the overall labor cost of installation. Over time, both types of countertops may need sealing to remain resistant to water, heat, and other common kitchen elements.

With proper maintenance, concrete countertops can last for decades, with a life expectancy of 50 years or more. At a minimum, they should last 20 years before major issues arise. Their longevity depends on the quality of materials, proper installation, and consistent care. Because concrete is porous, it is prone to cracking and staining. Regular maintenance, including resealing, waxing, and repairing any chips or cracks, is essential to preserve its lifespan.

The frequency for sealing granite countertops depends on several factors, including the type of sealant used, the color of the granite, and how heavily the countertops are used. As a general guideline, resealing is often recommended every 12 to 18 months, but some sources suggest it could be as often as every few months or at least once a year.

The type of sealant is a major factor: water-based sealants may need reapplication every six months to a year, while more durable solvent-based sealants can last for five to 10 years. Additionally, factors like heavy kitchen traffic, frequent use of acidic cleaners, and lighter granite colors may require more frequent sealing to prevent staining.

To determine if your countertops need resealing, you can perform a simple water test. Place a few drops of water or a wet paper towel on an inconspicuous area of the granite. After 10 to 15 minutes, check the spot. If the water has beaded up, the seal is still intact. If the water has been absorbed and darkened the stone, it's time to apply a new coat of sealant. You can choose to seal the granite yourself or hire a professional to ensure it's done correctly.

Durable, contemporary concrete countertops can increase home values. However, they might not offer as high an ROI as quartz or granite surfaces, which offer a timeless aesthetic and durability likely to appeal to a range of home buyers. Installing new countertops is a home improvement that can yield an average of 60% to 80% ROI when done well, using quality, perennially popular materials.
