"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
Any surface, including a waterfall countertop, can last decades based on a few things. First is the chosen material. For instance, quartz and granite are more durable and long-lasting than marble or concrete. Proper care also plays a key role. Regular cleaning and sealing, if required, will help any counter resist stains and damage over time.
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.
Yes, installing new quartz countertops can increase your home’s value. Updating your counters with a durable material like quartz that will last decades is a great investment.
Butcher block countertops typically last around 20 years, and sometimes longer, with proper maintenance. This lifespan is comparable to granite and longer than laminate. Key maintenance tasks include regular cleaning after every use and resealing, ideally once a month. You can also sand and resurface the countertops to remove imperfections like deep scratches, stains, dings, and scorch marks. The longevity is also affected by the thickness of the wood strips used in its construction; thicker strips are generally more durable.
Yes, it is often possible to replace an undermount sink without removing the countertop, but success can depend on the countertop material. For materials like granite, the process is relatively straightforward. However, laminate or uniquely shaped countertops might need to be removed or modified.
The process typically involves shutting off the water supply, disconnecting the drain and plumbing pipes, cutting through the old silicone seal, and carefully lowering the sink from below. This requires a good understanding of plumbing and the right tools. If you are not confident in performing the replacement yourself, it is recommended to hire a countertop specialist or a plumber to handle the task.
