Q: Does granite increase home value?

• <div><p>Yes, granite can increase the value of your home since it&rsquo;s considered a high-quality, durable material. It&rsquo;s also easy to care for and can withstand years of wear and tear, so potential buyers may hold your home in higher regard if you have granite countertops.</p></div>

Q: How can I save money on countertop installation?

• <div><p>The best way to save money on countertop installation is to choose an affordable material. For example, if you have a busy kitchen and need durability, choose a more affordable but lasting material like <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/quartz-vs-granite-countertops.htm">granite countertops</a>. Likewise, if you don't use your countertops often, you can use a softer material that costs less than more sturdy ones. </p><p>Another way to cut costs is to remove and dispose of the existing countertops yourself, if possible. That way, countertop installers can get straight to placing the new feature, reducing labor costs.</p></div>

Q: What are the best bathroom countertop materials?

• <div><p>Choosing the right countertop material means balancing price, quality, and budget. However, there are a few popular high-end choices when it comes to countertops that many homeowners use to elevate their bathroom aesthetic:</p><ul><li><p><b>Granite:</b> A unique material that comes in a variety of colors.</p></li><li><p><b>Quartz:</b> One of the hardest natural and richest minerals. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/quartz-vs-granite-countertops.htm">Learn more about quartz versus granite countertops</a>.</p></li><li><p><b>Cultured marble: </b>A natural stone that is durable and features a high-end look.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Do concrete countertops increase home value?

• <div><p>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 <b>60% to 80% ROI</b> when done well, using quality, perennially popular materials.</p></div>

Q: Can you cover old laminate countertops with new laminate?

• <div><p>Yes, you can install a new layer of laminate over old laminate if you want to save time and money. The most important part of this project is cleaning the existing countertop thoroughly. Then, you will need to sand the surface and apply contact cement, after which you can install the new laminate layer on top. Other options for improving your existing laminate countertops include <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-paint-countertops.htm">painting them</a> or installing an epoxy counter on top.</p></div>

"Kevin Zakk did an amazing job with a very difficult space. The shower is super small and he and his crew handled it very well. There was water damage, old tile, terrible pipes and ruined sub flooring. Had I not known about it before hand, I would have never know it was difficult to remove and replace in that small space. The work is excellent. The crew was so nice and never complained. "

"Darryl and his nephew did great work again, even as we added more to the remodel he made time to do the work. He replaced some of the sub flooring where I had weak spots, all new flooring and baseboard with accent. He also ripped out my old sliding glass door and replaced it with French doors that I bought which he also picked up for me. He will be doing my guest bathroom shower next."
