Both systems are applied over existing surfaces without demolition. The difference is the aesthetic — explore each to find the right fit for your home.

Built Into Every
Countertop We Install

No Demolition

Both systems apply directly over qualifying existing countertops — laminate, Formica, tile, solid surface, and more. No tear-out, no construction mess.

Done in Days

Most countertop projects complete in 48–72 hours. You're back in your kitchen quickly — not waiting weeks for a contractor to finish.

Completely Custom

Every finish is mixed and applied to your exact specification. Color, texture, sheen, and veining pattern are all tailored to your space and design vision.

Starting at $2,500

Custom countertop projects start at $2,500 — a fraction of what a full replacement costs when you factor in demolition, disposal, plumbing, and weeks of disruption.

The Process

From Consultation to
Finished Surface

01

Design Consultation

We visit your home, assess your existing surface, and walk you through your finish options with samples in hand. No sales pressure — just honest guidance.

02

Surface Preparation

Proper prep is where most contractors cut corners. We don't. Every surface is meticulously cleaned, sanded, and primed before a single coat of finish is applied.

03

Artisan Application

Your finish is hand-applied in multiple coats by our team. For resin & stone, we develop the veining and pattern in real time. For concrete, we build texture layer by layer.

04

Seal & Reveal

A professional-grade protective topcoat seals the surface. We walk through the finished space with you and provide complete written care instructions before we leave.

Common Questions

Countertop FAQ

Most existing surfaces qualify — laminate, Formica, tile, solid surface, and existing concrete are all common candidates. During your consultation, we evaluate your specific surface and tell you honestly whether it qualifies.

The short version: resin & stone is high-gloss, dramatic, and great for marble-inspired or exotic looks. Concrete is matte, architectural, and refined — better for minimalist or industrial-influenced spaces. Both are excellent. The right choice depends on your design direction, which we explore together during the consultation.

Most countertop projects — both resin & stone and concrete — complete in 48–72 hours from start to finish. Complex kitchens with multiple surfaces may take slightly longer. We'll give you an accurate timeline during your consultation.

Both systems include a professional-grade protective topcoat that creates a non-porous, stain-resistant seal. For heat: we recommend using trivets, which is standard practice for any quality countertop surface.

Our lifetime warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship — peeling, delamination, or surface failure under normal use conditions. See our Warranty & Care page for details.
