"My kitchen was transformed and itâ s beautiful. He not only did the countertops but also rearranged my cabinets. He took out a cabinet that blocked the view from the kitchen from the living room. Then he flipped one to the back wall. There is so much more light coming into my kitchen. Jeff is experienced and knew how to customize my kitchen to look the best. I highly recommend him!"

"Chad, Rick and the team worked tirelessly to deliver the highest quality of customer service. From the beginning of the remodel to the end they listened to our needs and helped us make good decisions as we remodeled our lake home kitchen. They planned a kitchen with a center island, coffee bar and cabinets we would have never expected to have space for. It all turned out wonderful. They also helped us narrow down the many choices for countertop and backsplash paying attention to our budget. Chad, Rick and team are great communicators and work well together. We are so thankful to have had them do our remodel. They are a truly outstanding team who care about the customer as well as their work."

"Fabulous to work with and we love the end result!  Everyone we worked with was professional, prompt, personable, and very easy to work with.  Originally met Steve and Dani at the Home Improvement Show and then worked with Teresa, Scott, Alicia and Brian.  There were many others (plumber, heating, electric, drywall/ceiling, flooring and I'm sure I'm missing some in there) involved and again, all of them were great to work with and did excellent work.  There was no pressure to do anything we didn't want to do and Inspiration offered up suggestions along the way.  Brian was always there when he said he would be there, did fabulous work, kept us informed, and always left the place clean when he was done - thank you!  We were impressed with Inspiration from the start and our entire experience with them was great.  You may pay a little more to have the convenience of everything handled by one contractor and to have a designer work with you and the ability to pick out everything needed for the project in one place, but in our opinion it is WELL worth the investment and peace of mind that we got.  We spoke to other contractors who didn't have all of those items and frankly, didn't seem interested in us as the customer (like Inspiration did) - and we didn't want to end up with a horror story project gone wrong or delayed like you hear about.  We would gladly recommend Inspiration Design Center to others.  We have received many compliments on the "new" house and have told everyone who we used and that if they are thinking of remodeling, they should give them a call!

Countertops and Backsplashes FAQs, answered by experts

Durable, contemporary concrete countertops can increase home values. However, they might not offer as high an ROI as quartz or granite surfaces, which offer a timeless aesthetic and durability likely to appeal to a range of home buyers. Installing new countertops is a home improvement that can yield an average of 60% to 80% ROI when done well, using quality, perennially popular materials.

The average cost to install or replace countertops is $3,105, with most projects falling between $1,858 and $4,177. However, the total price can range from $400 to $8,500 depending on several key factors. The most influential cost factors include the countertop material, the size in square feet, the quality of the new countertops, and the complexity of the job, such as the number of sink cutouts, corners, and special edging. Other considerations are the accessibility of the installation area and whether the project includes the removal and disposal of your old countertops. You have a wide array of material options to choose from. Laminate is generally the most budget-friendly, costing between $8 and $27 per square foot. On the higher end, slate countertops range from $30 to $90 per square foot. Other popular materials with varying price points include butcher block, quartz, granite, stainless steel, Corian, and wood.

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.

When installing an undermount kitchen sink in a granite countertop, use 100% silicone to secure the basin. If you’re worried your sink is too heavy, speak with a countertop professional about how to adhere the sink to the countertop without worrying about issues down the road. Sagging undermount sinks can be a common plumbing problem if they’re not properly adhered, so always make sure you’re using a high-quality material.

Granite countertops can last for 100 years or more with proper maintenance, even in high-traffic areas like kitchens and bathrooms. Granite can crack, stain, or fade over time, like any countertop material, but it’s a highly durable option that should offer a lifetime of use. Some ways to increase the longevity of granite countertops include regularly cleaning the surface, especially after spills, avoiding sharp objects directly on the countertop, and resealing the material every few years.
