Counter tops got resurfaced today

That looks good

Looks like it was 450 well spent to make another selling point for the house.

It looks good and is a great solution for getting a house ready to sell but I cant help but think the first time something heavy is dropped that the coating will chip and the white will show thru. Did you consider the pre-fabricated faux granite formica countertops? I have seen those at Home Depot and they look pretty good and are fairly cheap.

I've looked at those a number of times. I even installed them in my parents house when I remodeled their kitchen years ago, so I'm familiar with how they work. This just made the most sense to us.

The ability of the surface to take abuse was something I considered, and asked about. It is essentially the same process as bedliner, with a clear coat. People drop heavy stuff in truck beds all of the time, so we'll see if it's comparable.

a company from Texas did this for many of the apartment complexes a family member overlooks. It provided a great finish and really "updated" the look just like it did your kitchen. My family member got them on a day off to come do two bathrooms for around $150. That was over a year ago and it still looks great... much better than the HD or Lowe's kits I've seen.

Looks good, I'm going to look into this as well.

That looks pretty good. We've got these hideous seafoam green corian countertops. I wonder if this is a viable option until I get around to a full remodel...

Save the $ 4-500 and do it right once if you plan on staying there. No reason to spend a big chunk like that twice just because you are eager to do it.

I'm wondering why I didn't have it done sooner. Completely changed how I feel about this kitchen.

Am curious why didn't you try the diy kits they sell everywhere before hiring a pro, time constraints?

[diablo rojo]

Time constraints have been a big factor. I've done everything in this house from paint and new trim, to laying tile/hardwood floors and spraying texture on walls that had been wallpapered. I have never done countertops and needed a "pro" finish the first time. As I mentioned, I've looked at the kits for years now and just never felt like I would achieve the look I wanted.

When you factor in the prep that they did (caulk, masking, etc) and the fact that they were done in under 3 hours, it was a bargain IMO

I did this to my counter in my old house I sold in June. Only cost me $300 to have someone do it for me and most of the showings left a specific comment about how good it looked.

Where you located diablo? Before I invite myself over to look at those. You are safe if not close to Carrollton/lewisville.

God bless.

If it's something you're considering, there's no reason not to do it.

Any idea how robust it is? How long it will last?
