Are porcelain countertops more expensive?

• <div><p>Porcelain is a relatively affordable, mid-range countertop. It’s less expensive than other popular materials, including quartz, slate, concrete, and marble. It’s similar in price to the average, low-end or mid-range granite or quartzite countertop (high-end options cost more). It’s more expensive than laminate, acrylic, and ceramic.</p><p>However, note that porcelain doesn’t come with very many long-term maintenance costs. If it breaks, you’ll still need to make repairs, but it won’t need regular sealing like concrete and natural stone.</p></div>

Can you install a farmhouse sink in an existing countertop?

• <div><p>Yes, you can install a farmhouse sink on an existing countertop—but there are some caveats. You’ll need to precisely measure. It’s best to choose a sink that’s the same dimensions as your existing sink, since your contractor won’t have to cut the countertop. Otherwise, pay close attention to the depth of your counter (the front to back measurement). You don’t want to install something that’s so big it sticks out beyond your countertop and cabinetry.</p></div>

"They claimed that they were finished and left nails sticking out of the wall. When I tried to call the supervisor I found out that the number was not connected. This is good customer service? I now realize that I paid to much for the sloppy work."

"I chose DDR for my covered patio project because they did several similar projects in my neighborhood and their work looked like it had always been part of the house and very well- built. The salesman was very knowledgeable and heard us out, and made a plan to give us more than we imagined based on our price point, addressing all our wants and then some. They provided CAD blueprints, pulled all permits and scheduled all inspections. All work was finished from framing crew to final inspection in less than two weeks. The project manager gave daily updates and personally oversaw the work. We definitely feel like we got our money's worth with DDR and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to add outdoor living spaces. "

Countertops and Backsplashes questions, answered by experts

These countertops are durable, non-porous, and available in various styles. They’re also easy to maintain.

You don’t need a cutting board. In fact, cutting is the original purpose of butcher block countertops. That said, wood is porous and can harbor germs. You’ll need to clean your countertop thoroughly after use. Knives can also scratch the surface. This adds to the patina of the wood, but not everyone likes the look—in which case, you may want to use a cutting board.

Porcelain is a relatively affordable, mid-range countertop. It’s less expensive than other popular materials, including quartz, slate, concrete, and marble. It’s similar in price to the average, low-end or mid-range granite or quartzite countertop (high-end options cost more). It’s more expensive than laminate, acrylic, and ceramic.

However, note that porcelain doesn’t come with very many long-term maintenance costs. If it breaks, you’ll still need to make repairs, but it won’t need regular sealing like concrete and natural stone.

Yes, you can install a farmhouse sink on an existing countertop—but there are some caveats. You’ll need to precisely measure. It’s best to choose a sink that’s the same dimensions as your existing sink, since your contractor won’t have to cut the countertop. Otherwise, pay close attention to the depth of your counter (the front to back measurement). You don’t want to install something that’s so big it sticks out beyond your countertop and cabinetry.

Painting your countertops is a good idea if you want to spruce up your kitchen or bathroom without having to install brand-new counters. It's also cost-effective, and it's a project that most DIYers can take on. Since there are so many paint colors to choose from, you'll be able to easily customize your countertops to fit your home's aesthetic.
