Redecorate Your Kitchen With New Countertops NJ

By Mary Jones


Depending on when your home was built, certain rooms and decorative accents might seem a little bit dated. This is especially true of your countertops. Counters get a lot of wear and tear on a daily basis, more than any other piece of your kitchen. They might have stains, watermarks, knife marks and even burns from cooking sessions gone wrong. If you are looking to bring new life to them, consider hiring a countertops NJ contractor.

There are two main types of counters that a contractor can offer you. One is in stock ones, while the other is custom. In stock ones are already built and ready to buy. They can be installed almost right away, provided they fit your counter measurements. These pieces are usually cut to fit many common countertop sizes, though they may need a little bit of trimming in order for them to fit properly.

The other main type, custom, means that you get your counters built just like you want. They are not prefrabricated, and must be built to order, which means they will take longer before they can be installed. The timeframe depends on the availability of the material you choose, so it could take a week or several weeks. Either way, they will fit your kitchen perfectly and give you the exact look you have likely always wanted your kitchen to have.

No matter which of the two main categories you choose, you will have a lot of options at your disposal. A common and popular one is granite, especially if you need countertops that resist scratches and burns. The durability of granite and its high-end look that resembles marble make it an easy choice for many people. You also get a pattern that is unique only to you, so nobody else has your exact look.

Quartz has a lot of the same properties as granite, but it has a different look to it. In addition, it is also very resistant to stains, something that granite is not. So if you tend to have kids or messy cooks in your home who like to cook a lot, this is a great way to have a durable counter that stays looking chic and new.

Butcher block counters are made of wood, and give your kitchen a really great and clean look. If you like a farmhouse style kitchen or even a cottage decor, then this is likely the best choice for you. As for the type of wood, you can go for basic and easily available like oak, or for something a little more exotic such as acacia or perhaps bamboo.

If you are in a budget, you might want to consider laminate. This is a man-made material that can be cut quite easily and is usually in stock. You can choose from just about any color you want, as this material is easy to dye to suit your taste.

Stainless steel is usually only found in professional kitchens, but more people are starting to turn to it for their home and residential needs. It is super sturdy, easy to clean, and resists stains, scratches and burns very easily.
