"I found Mr Jordan on Angie’s List. I have never used Angie’s list before but I will definitely use it again if needed. Jordan Resurfacing was very professional and the price was very affordable. He was careful to not leave a mess and did his job in a timely manner. I was extremely pleased with his work. He even gave us a two year warranty."

"I went with 4 stars because I was not allowed to just write up a review with no stars. I did not hire this company, so I have no idea about the quality of the work. I can describe the Estimate Visit. The gentleman looked over the broken granite countertop I had and concluded that the price to put the pieces together would be $450.00 with a quality that would not show where the pieces had been "woven" together. Then, he did some more calculating and said he would be short several inches, anyway. He then urged me to let him put in a new top for $750.00. I got the feeling that he really did not want to do the repair, but to make a new top. After he left, I realized that he had made math errors measuring the length needed. Despite those errors, he would have been short just a few inches. I was not ready or able to spend money for a new top, so I did not hire this man and his company. After I got over the sticker shock or pricing shock, and thinking that he wanted to make more money, I realized that his work integrity and interest in craftsmanship were the driving force behind his interest in putting in a new top."

"Chad was able to take care of all the honey-do projects that had built up. A door was replaced, drywall repair and paint, and some shingles replaced and everything looked as tho it had always been. Communication was there from start to finish. Just couldnâ t be happier with the work and work ethic from Chad Spillers construction."

Countertops and Backsplashes questions, answered by experts

Marble is a porous natural stone that needs sealant to minimize staining. Leaving this type of countertop material sealant-free means any liquids left on the surface will quickly absorb into the stone, discoloring it and dulling the sheen. Dark or acidic liquids, like red wine, coffee, and lemon, are the worst culprits. 

Avoid using harsh, gritty, or abrasive cleaners and sponges on Formica countertops. This includes steel wool, scouring pads, and strongly alkaline or acidic cleaning products like chlorine bleach, oven cleaner, drain cleaner, furniture polish, or vinegar. These can compromise the surface, leading to scuffs, discoloration, and other damage that will reduce the countertop's longevity. Additionally, never place hot items, such as pots and pans directly from the oven or stovetop, onto the laminate surface, as the high heat can cause it to scorch.

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.

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 best way to save money on countertop installation is to choose an affordable material. For example, if you have a busy kitchen and need durability, choose a more affordable but lasting material like granite countertops. Likewise, if you don't use your countertops often, you can use a softer material that costs less than more sturdy ones. 

Another way to cut costs is to remove and dispose of the existing countertops yourself, if possible. That way, countertop installers can get straight to placing the new feature, reducing labor costs.
