"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."

"I would highly recommend Art Wood Designs. They did a fantastic job removing our old cabinets and countertop and then installing the new cabinets. They were very meticulous in everything they did and very professional. I am extremely happy with my new kitchen cabinets!!"

Countertops and Backsplashes questions, answered by experts

Formica® is a brand name for the laminate countertops it produces. Laminate is the generic term for a countertop material made from layers of paper topped with an image layer, all compressed under high pressure to form a solid, easy-to-maintain surface. Other brands that produce laminate countertops include WilsonArt® and Arborite®.

When comparing Formica to other laminates, the choice often comes down to personal preference. Formica is a popular brand known for its durability and affordability. Due to its brand recognition, it may be slightly more expensive than generic laminate options, but the name often carries an expectation of a certain quality standard.

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. 

Butcher block countertops are durable, but wood is generally susceptible to extreme heat, so you should avoid placing hot pots and pans directly on a butcher block counter. This will likely cause some aesthetic damage in the form of scorch marks. Instead, invest in some trivets and put your hot cookware on top of them.

Small kitchens benefit from simple, blunt countertop edges, as complicated edges can create visual clutter and be more of a hazard if you bump into them. Eased edges are a top pick for small kitchens because they are simple, do not jut out, and do not take up additional space. Bullnose edge countertops are also popular because of their rounded design; they are elegantly simple and will not be sharp when you bump against them. Single-beveled edges are also a good choice, as they look a little more upscale but still have rounded edges for safety and simplicity.

While onyx is among the most expensive countertop stones, it’s not always the priciest. It is generally cheaper than Calacatta marble, which is highly sought-after for its rarity and bold veining. However, onyx still commands a premium price due to its unique translucency and delicate nature.
