Different Resurfacing Solutions We Provide
Different countertop materials and conditions require specific resurfacing approaches and materials. Our experience with various resurfacing techniques helps us provide the right solution for any countertop restoration challenge.
Laminate Countertop Renewal and Updates
Laminate countertops are excellent candidates for resurfacing because they provide stable, smooth surfaces that can support new finishes while offering significant cost savings over replacement. We can completely change the appearance of laminate countertops with new colors, patterns, and textures that look like granite, marble, or other premium materials.

Our laminate resurfacing techniques can extend the life of your countertops by many years while giving you the updated appearance you want at a fraction of replacement cost.
Solid Surface Restoration and Refinishing
Solid surface countertops like Corian can often be restored to like-new condition through professional refinishing that removes scratches, stains, and wear while restoring the original smooth finish. We use specialized sanding and polishing techniques that gradually remove damaged surface layers while maintaining the integrity and appearance of the underlying material.
Solid surface refinishing can address deeper scratches, burn marks, and other damage that homeowners can't repair themselves while restoring the seamless appearance that makes solid surface so attractive. The refinishing process can also include color changes, texture modifications, or integration of new design elements that update the appearance without replacement.
We handle edge refinishing, seam restoration, and integration of new features like updated sink cutouts or appliance openings during the refinishing process. Our solid surface restoration techniques often make older countertops look better than new while addressing any functional issues that have developed over time.
Tile Countertop Transformation and Modernization
Tile countertops can be completely transformed through resurfacing techniques that eliminate grout lines while creating smooth, modern surfaces that are easier to clean and maintain. We can apply new surface materials over existing tile that create the appearance of solid surface, granite, or other premium materials without the expense of complete removal and replacement.
The resurfacing process for tile includes filling grout lines, leveling uneven areas, and creating smooth surfaces that provide excellent bases for new finishes. We can also address problems like cracked tiles, stained grout, or outdated colors and patterns that make tile countertops look old and tired.
Tile resurfacing often includes edge treatments that create more contemporary appearances while improving functionality and ease of maintenance.
