"Jose did an excellent job of installing new countertops in my 2nd floor condo kitchen. I was especially happy there were no seams. He had a pleasant and professional manner. Thank U Jose my kitchen looks great!!"
"Very professional start to finish. Received a quick detailed estimate, and scheduling and service were also very promptà ¢à  à ¦speedy in fact. Our countertops look fabulous, exceeding expectations. Ità ¢à  à  s difficult to find someone to do this work, and I had my doubts about using a company I found on the internet. But we are so glad we took the chance on Surface Link because they did a perfect job. It is Hard to find a contractor we can say that about todayà ¢à  à ¦. We are often disappointed. Not with this company. Or this technician (Steve ) who is a pro at this. Time will tell, but as of today, we are thrilled."
"Pros: It went well, and the overall quality is good - they offered alternative solutions other contractor estimates did not (to help lower the cost). They take pride in their work and are willing to go the extra mile for satisfaction, even after work completion. Cons: We put our deposit in and signed a contract a few months before the job, and it wasn't until a week or two before the job we found out the material was discontinued (after we already selected paint color and floor design from separate contractor) We were forced into their schedule, after noting certain restrictions we had with working midnight shift. (for items like inspections and lingering things after the "scheduled" work was complete)."
George (Jorge) was exactly on time when he came for the estimate. He recommended a paint brand that was very nice (Sherwin Williams Cashmere) and carefully documented the areas of work. His estimate was right in line with what I was expecting. He set a start date of the 14th.
A company rep (his son), called the day before to check-in and let me know they would arrive at 7 am. They were on time, pleasant and professional. The covered my floors and new carpet an got straight to work. The house took 2 1/2 days and each day they started exactly at 7 and let me know the plan of the day. They returned a fourth day to paint the deck since it had been raining.
The inside of the house and the deck look brand new!! They paid attention to detail, filed all nail holes, and always let me know where they were in project. I could not be happier with the great work they did. I am very picky, but could only find 2 small areas that needed touch-ups.
The crew also helped me move an old love seat and set-up my new table. I was so relieved because I had no idea how I was going to do it. They were so helpful.
This a family company with great employees and I am so happy I found them!! I would definitely recommend them and hire them again!!!
"They tackled the items on the list, working quicly, but did not quite finish. We discussed having them come back another day, adding some more items. Garry gave an estimate of the time needed which we thought was very fair. We were pleased with their work and will definitely have them back."

Countertops and Backsplashes questions, answered by experts
Rounded countertop edges, like bullnose or eased edges, are the least likely to chip. Their smooth, curved design helps distribute impact more evenly, unlike sharp corners, which often take the brunt of a hit. Also, unlike pointed edges, rounded edges won't snag on material like dishcloths or clothing.
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.
Most homebuyers value standard counter height (34–36 inches) over bar height (40–42 inches).
The standard kitchen counter size is typically between 24 to 25 inches wide and 25 to 26 inches deep. Wider countertops are also common, with widths of 30 to 36 inches among the most popular choices. Note that these are just general guidelines, and there is flexibility to custom the size of countertops to suit individual needs and the space.
Since knowing how to install countertops correctly requires in-depth knowledge and understanding of the topic, we recommend hiring a professional countertops installer near you to work on this project. Kitchen countertops are a high-visibility investment, meaning mistakes made during DIY installation will be easy to spot, may cause damage, and potentially require re-purchasing materials. Professional countertop installers have the skills, tools, and experience to place your new kitchen feature safely and correctly.
