Cheaper than Replacing

Most products or services that are 'green' or have an eco benefit come with a 20 to 40% premium over comparable items or services. Many people are surprised to hear that we can refinish a countertop cheaper in most cases than a renovator can replace it. We had a local renovator give a quote on replacing an average sized countertop that was L-shaped plus 2 seperate small section with a good quality countertop. The reason we specified a good quality countertop is because the cheap countertops being sold in most big box stores is hardly worth putting in your home. We see 5 year old countertops that are worn out and already wearing through the laminate. His quote to replace was $1250 and if there were plumbing issues, backsplash damage or cabinet damage, the real price would be higher. Our price to refinish the same countertop was a firm price of $675.00. That was a couple of years ago and as some renovators are short on work, the replacement cost has come down, in some cases, a few hundred dollars.
