Counter Top Remodeling
Is your old countertop showing the signs of all that use and abuse? Stains can easily ruin the most well finished kitchen counter surface, and scratches and nicks are common. Part of a successful kitchen remodel is getting rid of your old and stained counter tops and getting newer ones installed. Your older countertops will look odd if you're planning on changing cabinets and getting new paint. New kitchen countertops will add the finishing touch to your Los Angeles, CA area kitchen and add the gleam that's the mark of a good looking kitchen.
Granite is one of the most widely used materials for kitchen countertop surfaces. Earlier restricted to wealthy home owners who could afford its exorbitant cost, granite now has become affordable enough to find a place in millions of kitchens around the country. It's easy to clean and looks great on your countertops. The cons are that it could stain if not sealed well, and you have a more restricted choice in colors with black kitchen countertops being the most commonly sued ones. If you're looking for a cheap countertop that's also stylish and easy to use, granite is your best bet. Alternately you could choose from marble which is supremely elegant and hardy, but quite expensive. Consider marble for your kitchen island countertop instead instead of having it all round your kitchen. Concrete can take abuse very well, but might not have the same rich gloss that more expensive material do. Ceramic ties are affordable and inexpensive, but because they could be uneven, tiled kitchen countertops might not guarantee the same kind of finish as granite.
Remember to take your lifestyle into consideration before you make a decision. Wood and marble are high quality but also high maintenance materials that can take a lot of time and effort to maintain. These are not the right choice if you have large family and cook often. With such a wide range of materials and colors available you're sure to find the kitchen countertop that's right for your home.

Hi - wondering about a kitchen remodel - very preliminary. House was built in late 70's, about 2500 sq ft - standard kitchen with eating area. would like to have new floor, new cabinets, new counters, new stove. Perhaps minor structural modification - push out one interior wall. Could you give me some idea of a ballpark cost - none of this would be high-end style/materials, but decent quality. thank you

My kitchen is very small with old cabinets and fixtures. I would like to completely remodel it with new cabinets, countertops, sink, shelves, or whatever else will be useful to make the small space efficient and usable. This would also include new appliances, however the floor will remain in tact.
