Replace Worn Counters With Material That Lasts

If your laminate counters have lifted seams, burn marks near the stove, or edges that are peeling away from the substrate, replacing them with stone or solid surface material gives you a work surface that holds up to heat, moisture, and daily cutting without showing damage. In Abbeville, where kitchens see regular use, a countertop that does not require constant worry about setting down a hot pan or wiping up a spill makes cooking less stressful and the room look more finished.

C & J Roofing and Home Improvement installs quartz, granite, marble, and solid surface countertops, along with custom island countertops, seamless edge designs, and backsplash integration that ties the counter material to the wall tile. You choose the slab color and edge profile, and the fabricator cuts it to fit your exact cabinet layout, including cutouts for sinks, cooktops, and faucets.

If you want to see full slabs in person before selecting one for your kitchen, reach out to discuss countertop options in Abbeville.

The process starts with a template visit where the fabricator measures your cabinets and marks the locations of sinks, cooktops, and any seams that might be needed if the counter runs longer than the slab width. In Abbeville, older homes sometimes have cabinets that are not perfectly level, so the template accounts for that so the finished counter sits flush without gaps. The slab gets cut at the fabrication shop, and edges get polished to the profile you selected, whether that is a simple straight edge or a more detailed ogee or bullnose.

Once the countertop is installed, you will notice that water beads up instead of soaking in, and hot pans can sit directly on the surface without leaving marks. The seams, if there are any, get filled and polished so they are barely visible, and the cutout around the sink fits tight enough that water does not seep underneath.

Quartz does not need sealing because it is non-porous, but granite and marble should be sealed once a year to keep stains from setting in. Butcher block requires more maintenance, with regular oiling to prevent drying and cracking, but it gives you a surface that can be sanded and refinished if it gets damaged. The backsplash can match the counter material or contrast with it, and the height typically runs four inches unless you are tiling higher up the wall.

Homeowners usually ask about durability, maintenance, and whether their cabinets can support the weight of stone, so the following questions address those concerns along with edge details and seam placement.

C & J Roofing and Home Improvement coordinates the template visit and fabrication schedule so your kitchen is not without counters longer than necessary.
