Countertop Refinishing: A Fresh Kitchen Without Replacing Counters

If your countertops are solid but dated, replacing them is not your only option. Refinishing gives them a brand new look for a fraction of the cost and without a messy tear-out.

Finish options

• Stone-look: Soft veining and depth that mimics natural stone.
• Solid color: A clean, modern single-tone surface.
• Epoxy systems: A tough, glossy topcoat for extra durability.

What the process includes

We clean and prep the surface, mask your cabinets and walls, apply the finish system, and touch up seams and edges. You get material and sheen options, plus care and heat-use guidance so the finish lasts.

Pricing

Countertop refinishing runs $25 to $45 per square foot, depending on the finish system. That is typically far less than new counters, and it pairs well with painted cabinets for a full kitchen refresh.

Care tips

• Use trivets under hot pots and pans.
• Wipe spills with a soft cloth and mild soap.
• Use a cutting board instead of cutting directly on the surface.
