Kitchen countertop is the key element that attracts attention of both housekeeper and guests. In course of time its shape may become worse or a countertop may simply start annoying and some changes are desirable.
Replacing of a countertop is not the best idea. Such variant is rather expensive and also problematic. Obtaining new countertop is possible by its resurfacing using special paints. As a result you get perfectly looking countertop that enjoys you and motivates cooking new masterpieces.
Resurfacing kitchen countertops consists of the following stages:
· preparing a countertop for painting (clean it and remove mud and dust polishing its surface);
· painting a countertop (the color is selected individually);
· adding new shades (additional colors are applied by a sponge for getting structure of natural stone or other interesting textures; new shades are added when 8 hours passed after painting);
· topcoat applying (after 4 hours).
Two last stages are nonobligatory. After those procedures a countertop gets high-end look.
Rebranding a kitchen countertop into something that looks brand new is a straightforward process when you refinish instead of replace, and it unfolds in a few clear stages. It begins with thorough preparation: we clean, degloss and repair the existing surface so the new finish bonds properly. This groundwork is what separates lasting countertop refinishing from a coating that peels, and it's the same discipline we bring to every kitchen backsplash reglazing job.
The next stage is application, where color and finish transform the counter entirely. Whether you want a stone-look pattern or a solid modern tone, our countertop refinishing renews the surface in place, without tearing out the counter or disturbing the sink and plumbing. We often extend the update to a matching kitchen backsplash reglazing and even sink refinishing, so the whole work zone is rebranded as one coordinated look.
The final stage is curing, after which the counter is ready for daily use with a hard, wipeable finish. The appeal is obvious: countertop refinishing costs a fraction of new stone or laminate and finishes in a day, not a week. For homeowners across New York, this staged approach delivers a simple, inexpensive way to get what looks like an entirely new countertop.
