"We hired The Bath Shop to renovate our master bath and ½ bath. The work they did is exceptional! My requests were not typical, and it took months to find a licensed contractor who was willing to take on the work and whom I felt comfortable hiring. The Bath Shop was willing to expand their portfolio. Any concerns I had were addressed. The people were friendly and we got to know several of them. But, I do have some complaints. They said a project like mine would take 6-8 weeks. We had to move out of the bedroom for 13 weeks. Granted, I made some changes along the way that delayed parts of the projects some a bit, but not 5 weeks. I’m really glad we had a spare bedroom to move into and we didn’t need to get a hotel room! This project started in early March, just before everything was shut down. So, I was working at home throughout the majority of the project. If I had still been going to the office everyday, I may not have even been aware of some of these issues. Most of the time, the night before, we’d get a text telling us who was coming over the next day. Many, many times either someone else showed up to do something else or no one came over at all. This was extremely irritating and frustrating to me. It was rare that what we were texted the night before actually happened, so that is not reliable at all. Perhaps that is typical in this business. Like I wrote earlier, their work was exceptional and I’m glad I hired them."

"Jose was great to work with and was able to come out the same day I called him. My granite countertop had settled over time and the seams were uneven. Jose quickly diagnosed the issue, explained what caused it, and how he’d correct it. He leveled the countertop seams, matched the seam glue perfectly, and my countertops look good as new."

"They updated both my kitchen and my screened-in patio and did a great job with both. They completed both in five weeks. They cleaned up after themselves. Discussed any changes or decisions that we needed to make together. I am very pleased with the work and would recommend them to anyone."

Countertops and Backsplashes questions, answered by experts

A countertop is a broad term that applies to multiple rooms in the house, like kitchens and bathrooms. Meanwhile, a vanity top is specifically associated with bathroom cabinets. In short, all vanity tops are countertops, but not all countertops are vanity tops. When discussing a bathroom, the phrases “countertop” and “vanity top” are used interchangeably.

The average countertop square footage in a kitchen is 30 square feet, but that number varies widely depending on the size of the kitchen. Some smaller kitchens may only have one stretch of countertop or an L-shape. Larger kitchens can include an island or peninsula and more expansive countertops. When deciding what works best for your home, measure your kitchen countertop and make sure to include countertop cost calculations in your budget.

The best tool for cutting countertops depends on the type of countertop material. For some softer materials, like laminate (Formica) and butcher block, you can use a hand saw, but most experts recommend power saws like circular saws, since these make the job go faster and easier and give more even results. However, power saws and circular saws are dangerous if used incorrectly, and they can be so powerful that they damage or chip laminate, stone, and other types of countertops. For this reason, you should take safety precautions and use best practices to prevent damage.

Yes, Corian® and other solid surface countertops can be cut with standard woodworking tools like a circular saw or a jigsaw, but using the correct blade is crucial for the best results.

The recommended blade is a tungsten carbide-tipped blade, often called a solid-surface planer or triple chip grind blade. This type of blade is hard enough to cut through the material effectively. For a jigsaw, a fine-tooth down-cutting blade should be used.

It is important to note that a diamond blade is not necessary. Diamond blades are designed for harder materials like natural stone, concrete, or brick, and Corian is not a natural stone.

Using blades designed for wood is not recommended as they can cause microfractures that weaken the countertop's edges. While a tungsten carbide blade provides a much cleaner cut, the resulting edge will still be rough and must be sanded and smoothed to prevent microfractures from developing over time.

With proper care, Corian® countertops can last 20 to 30 years, and they typically come with a 10-year warranty. To maximize their longevity, it is important to fix any damage as soon as possible, clean up spills immediately, and address cosmetic issues promptly. Scratches, stains, and even burns can often be buffed out with sandpaper, and water stains can be treated with a specific water stain remover.
