What epoxy countertops are
Epoxy countertops are made by pouring layers of pigmented and clear resin over an existing countertop or prepared base. With careful color work, we create looks that resemble marble, granite or abstract designs. The finished surface is seamless and glossy.
Resurfacing instead of replacing
Many condos and older homes have laminate or tile countertops that are solid but dated. Epoxy can go right over them after cleaning, sanding and priming, so you avoid demolition and long remodel timelines. It is a popular update for rentals and homes going on the market.
Designs
- White and gray marble
- Black with gold or silver veining
- Soft stone neutrals
- Metallic and pearlescent finishes
- Clear coats over wood slabs
Process
- Protect cabinets, floors and walls.
- Clean, sand and prime.
- Pour design layers.
- Apply clear flood coat.
- Cure before use.
Most projects take two to three days, with full use after several days.
Condos and occupied homes
We mask carefully and manage ventilation, which matters in condos and townhomes. We help you plan a temporary kitchen setup during the cure.
Care
Use trivets and cutting boards. Clean with mild soap and water. Fine scratches can be buffed and a fresh clear coat can be added later.
Bathrooms and bars
Vanities and bars are ideal for epoxy. A marble look gives an upscale finish at a fraction of stone cost, and the seamless surface is easy to keep clean.
Live edge tables
We fill cracks and voids in wood slabs with clear or tinted epoxy and finish them for dining tables, desks and bar tops.
Is epoxy right for you?
It suits people who want a custom look or a fast update. If you need a surface that takes hot pans daily, quartz or stone may be better. We will help you decide.
Matching your design
We can create samples that match your cabinets, paint and hardware. If you are working with a designer, we coordinate colors and finishes with them.
Edges and backsplashes
Epoxy can wrap edges for a seamless look and extend up a backsplash. We discuss edge profiles during the quote.
Rentals and resale
Landlords and sellers often want a kitchen that photographs well without a long remodel. Epoxy resurfacing changes the look of a kitchen in days. Paired with new hardware and paint, it can make a dated condo feel current.
Durability
Cured epoxy is hard and resists water, most stains and daily wear. It is not heat-proof and can scratch with knives, so normal kitchen habits like trivets and cutting boards keep it looking good for years. Damaged areas can be sanded and recoated rather than replaced.
Shop benches and garage bars
Finished garages and basements often include a workbench, a beverage bar or a hobby counter. Epoxy creates a tough, glossy surface that cleans easily and can match the floor below. Metallic and solid color finishes look sharp in game rooms and home bars, and a clear coat over butcher block protects it from spills.
Timeline and planning
We schedule a short visit to measure and confirm your design, then complete the pour over two to three days. Kitchens need a short break from use during the cure. We help you plan meals and appliance access so the project fits into your week.
