"Nathan came out on a Saturday morning to measure our cabinets for countertops. He paid close attention to detail and it showed, they have the ability to scribe the countertops so they are nearly a perfect fit. The tops were an absolute perfect fit and followed the contour of our walls, no backsplash needed. Communication was perfect and once the project was complete they waited for us to get there to do a final walkthrough to ensure we were 100% happy. Would highly recommend LouAda for your countertops."

"Superb work, always. We've hired MJ several times in the last 5 years. This is our second home she has helped us improve. The work is excellent, on time and on budget. MJ has tackled some difficult projects for us, including beautifying our old American traditional in town. The most recent project was a highly detailed shellac application on our stair rails, spindles and treads. It looks amazing!"

Countertops and Backsplashes questions, answered by experts

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.

Onyx countertops have pros and cons. If you seal it properly and take care not to damage it, it can make a good countertop surface. However, it's more often used in bathrooms, where it’s less likely to sustain damage. Having an onyx kitchen countertop is possible, but you’ll need to take extra care not to burn, stain, or otherwise damage the material.

While Formica® countertops are scratch-resistant, they are not fully scratch-proof. They will develop marks on their upper decorative layer more easily than quartz, granite, or porcelain tile. Always use cutting boards for food prep and avoid dragging heavy items, such as blenders or big pots, across the surfaces.

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. 

The lifespan of painted countertops depends on the products used and how well they are maintained. Generally, they can last for a couple of years before needing a fresh coat. To maximize their longevity, it is vital to apply a durable sealer, such as a resin or water-based acrylic topcoat, over the paint. After applying the sealer, allow it to cure for the full recommended time, which can range from seven to ten days, to ensure a fully protected surface.
