"RUN. Con-artists. We paid them $76,000, they completed $60,000 worth of work per THEIR itemized invoice, did not properly secure the site leading to $5000 of water damage to my existing house that they did not repair, shoddy work and crooked doorways and windows that had to be redone by another contractor, did not pay the foundation guy in full, did not pay the lumber company leaving us with mechanic’s liens on our house that we had to prove we paid ACC and it was THEM not paying their bills… I could go on. They take no accountability for their actions and ignore all forms of communication. I hope they NEVER get the chance to screw over another family again."

Countertops and Backsplashes questions, answered by experts
The least expensive way to build a kitchen countertop is to choose an affordable material. For example, laminate countertops cost about $1,250, while Corian® countertops cost $4,000 on average. Common wood and laminate tend to be the most affordable and DIY-friendly, which will save you the cost of labor. Otherwise, look for lower-end solid surface countertops or ceramic and stone tile. These cost less than natural stone slabs.
Yes, you can install a farmhouse sink on an existing countertop—but there are some caveats. You’ll need to precisely measure. It’s best to choose a sink that’s the same dimensions as your existing sink, since your contractor won’t have to cut the countertop. Otherwise, pay close attention to the depth of your counter (the front to back measurement). You don’t want to install something that’s so big it sticks out beyond your countertop and cabinetry.
Marble countertops cost$3,000 on average, ranging from about $2,000 to $5,000, depending on the type of marble, square footage, location, and whether you use tiles or slabs. Another major cost factor to consider is the grading of the marble, which determines its quality level.
Use this grading system when selecting marble for countertops:
Grade A: Nearly perfect with subtle veining
Grade B: Minor flaws such as pits, fissures, or blotches
Grade C: Minor and major flaws like chipping and cracks requiring repair
Grade D: Significant damage needing repair, with dark veining and pronounced colors
Gray is always a safe bet when painting concrete countertops, since concrete is a variation of gray. You may also choose black or white, but those are much starker colors that only do well in certain kitchens.
A tungsten carbide-tipped blade, sometimes called a solid-surface planer carbide-tipped blade, is the blade for cutting this type of surface. These blades are hard enough to cut through the surface and leave a workable edge. However, the rough cut edge the blades leave behind can lead to microfractures that eventually compromise the countertop. Sanding and smoothing the edge prevents these microfractures.

From average costs to expert advice, get all the answers you need to get your job done.
Are you leaning towards solid surface countertops? If so, you've likely come across Corian®. Find out how much Corian® countertops cost so you can plan your project.
Installing countertops is grueling work, so leaving a tip for your countertop installers is always an appreciated gesture—but how much depends on the quality of work.
Learn about standard countertop height to determine if it will work for you or whether you should install a custom countertop for better comfort in the kitchen.
