"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!!!"

"The service provider is called Granite Masters. Overall the service went very well. They did a good job of finishing them and installing them. They were able to modify some of the specifications so they did an excellent job."

"Our undermount sink separated from our quartz countertop. (Clips holding it gave way. No way to reattach.) Had someone out who pinpointed the problem but recommended a counter repair. I bought a new bigger overmount sink. Some problems with our phone number and doorbell meant he missed an appointment but promptly contacted us via email, he picked up the new sink we ordered that day and came late to install it for us. A late 3 hours later we had a lovely new sink. Good work and good follow through."

Countertops and Backsplashes questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can install a new layer of laminate over an existing laminate countertop, which can save you time and money while updating its appearance. The process is similar to installing laminate directly onto particle board. First, clean the existing countertop thoroughly. Next, fill and sand any cracks or damaged areas. Then, you'll need to sand or scratch up the entire surface to help the contact cement or glue adhere properly. After applying the adhesive, you can install the new laminate layer on top. If you're looking for other ways to improve your existing laminate countertops, you could also consider painting them or applying an epoxy finish.

Small kitchens benefit from simple, blunt countertop edges, as complicated edges can create visual clutter and be more of a hazard if you bump into them. Eased edges are a top pick for small kitchens because they are simple, do not jut out, and do not take up additional space. Bullnose edge countertops are also popular because of their rounded design; they are elegantly simple and will not be sharp when you bump against them. Single-beveled edges are also a good choice, as they look a little more upscale but still have rounded edges for safety and simplicity.

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.

New countertops can last for anywhere between 15 and 50 years, with the exact lifespan depending on the material:

  • Quartz: 50 to 100 years

  • Marble: 50 to 100 years

  • Granite: 50 to 100 years

  • Laminate: 15 to 20 years

  • Concrete: 20 to 30 years

  • Tile: 40 to 100 years

Keep in mind some materials are more likely to stain and chip than others, which is an important factor to consider when it comes to the longevity of your countertops. Some materials also need special cleaning and maintenance, like tile countertops, which need grout cleaning, and concrete countertops, which need resealing.

A minimum overhang of 10 to 12 inches is generally recommended for countertop or island seating to provide enough legroom. For increased comfort, an overhang of 15 to 18 inches is ideal, allowing for more space and a relaxed experience. However, a 10-inch overhang can be sufficient in certain situations, such as for bar-height countertops, when using small stools, or in smaller kitchens where space is limited. Taller countertops may also require less overhang than shorter ones. Ultimately, you should consider your specific needs for legroom and measure to ensure the overhang fits comfortably within your kitchen's layout.
