Chips and loose edges before coating
Chipped corners are rebuilt and loose edge strips reglued first; a coating over a loose edge would crack at the joint.

Countertop surfaces we resurface in Plainfield
We refinish dated counters in Plainfield kitchens in place: the cabinets, sink and backsplash stay where they are. Prep and repairs come first, then the base and finish coats, and the counter cures before it goes back into daily use.
Tile counters with grout that won't come clean
Tile counters can be coated over so the dark grout lines disappear under one smooth finish, after loose tiles are reset.
Laminate swollen around the sink
Swollen laminate is the one problem resurfacing can't solve. We check every top for water damage before quoting a coating.
Dated cultured marble tops
Cast cultured marble takes a resurfacing coat well once crazing and chips are addressed. Kitchens and vanities both qualify.
Laminate worn dull or through the pattern
Worn-through patches and a faded surface are cosmetic. As long as the board is sound, a resurfacing system covers them.
Counters in a rental unit
In a rental, a refinished counter turns around quickly and the cabinets and plumbing stay untouched.
A kitchen you plan to sell soon
If you'd rather not invest in stone for a house you're selling, refinishing the existing tops is the lighter update.
Matching new cabinet paint
Painting your cabinets? Refinishing the counters at the same time lets you pick a top color that works with the new doors.
What the work covers
- Inspection for water damageEvery top is checked for soft or swollen areas, loose edges and movement before we quote a coating.
- Masking and ventilationCabinets, walls, appliances and floor are covered, and the room is ventilated while we work.
- Deep cleaning and degreasingGrease, soap and silicone residue are removed so primer can grip the surface.
- RepairsDamage is fixed and sanded flush before any coating goes on.
- Sanding and primingA sanded profile and a bonding coat give the finish something to hold.
- Base and pattern coatsA solid base color goes on, followed by fleck or mineral layers for a stone look.
- Clear topcoatThe final clear layer protects the finish and sets how shiny the counter looks.

Countertop Refinishing & Resurfacing questions from Plainfield homeowners
How long does a resurfaced countertop last?
It depends on prep, use and care. Treated gently, a good coating holds up for years; heavy cutting and hot pans shorten its life.
Should I resurface or replace my countertops?
If the counters are solid and the only problem is looks, a coating makes sense. If water damage or layout is the issue, new tops do.
Can you resurface a countertop that is peeling?
Loose laminate is reattached; failed paint is stripped. If the core is swollen, we recommend new tops instead.
Can tile countertops be resurfaced?
In most cases. Cracked or loose tiles are fixed, the grout is filled and then the coating goes on.
Can Formica countertops be resurfaced?
Laminate is an ideal base for resurfacing once it's degreased, scuffed and primed.
Plainfield contractor registration: do kitchen contractors need it?
Village business license ($25 annually) applies to corporate, retail and home businesses. We take care of that before work starts.
