That's right, NO demolition or removal of the existing countertop is required in most cases!
As long as the existing countertop is structurally sound, we can install your beautiful new countertop directly over the old one. That is one of the advantages that the new materials and our overlay techniques bring to the process.
No Demolition Installations have the following advantages -
- Faster installation
- Less mess and inconvenience
- No 'accidents' or damage to other areas of the home while removing debris
- Less costly (a typical demo and replacement of the substrate costs $350-$900)
- No difference in look, quality, or warranty (That's right, you still get our Lifetime Warranty)
- Can still remove or change the backsplash area if desired
- It's the Green thing to do. The ultimate recycling of the old materials!
There are some situations where removal of the old countertop still makes sense. For instance, perhaps it's time to replace that old sink at the same time as the new countertop, and it won't fit in the old layout. Or the countertop just isn't structurally sound. Maybe it's time to expand the countertop area and get that larger kitchen workspace you've been dreaming about.
We can handle those situations too. Our friends at Kennedy Construction will work with us as needed to carefully remove the old countertop, and replace the substrate according to KreteKraft's exacting standards, ready for the new countertop. Mike Kennedy at Kennedy Construction has worked extensively in our new home, so we know the quality craftsmanship first hand, and are comfortable bringing Mike and his team into your home if needed.
