"Wind River Exteriors did a fabulous job remodeling our garage. They called me and came out to give us an estimate very quickly when no other contractor in the area would even consider the job, which is OK because I rather give my hard earned money to someone that actually cares. The job itself went smooth with no major hiccups or problems. They listened to us and gave us exactly what we wanted. They arrived to work on time, and on the days they said they were going to be here. They worked in extreme heat, and even on weekends to get our job done for us in time. They cleaned up the construction debris and did not leave any messes. Geroge, Justin, Eugene and the entire crew were a pleasure to work with. Would HIGHLY recommend Wind River for your next project!"

FAQs for laminate countertops installation projects in Lake Elmo, MN
With the right care and a professional installation, laminate counters last 10 to 15 years. Wipe up spills quickly, clean with a nonabrasive product, and keep hot pots off the surface to prevent warping or scorch marks. Limiting prolonged moisture at seams also pays off. Your installer can walk you through simple maintenance habits that will help you squeeze every year out of your new counters.
Yes—if the existing laminate is solid and level, a pro can bond a fresh sheet right on top. They’ll rough up the old surface, apply the correct adhesive, and make precise cuts so the new layer sits tight. Skipping steps can lead to bubbles or weak seams, so this project is best left to an experienced installer who has the tools to deliver a clean, durable finish.
Absolutely, you can give tired laminate a facelift with paint, tile, or a concrete overlay instead of a full tear-out. The key is thorough prep: clean, degrease, and lightly sand so the new finish sticks.
Follow the product instructions for primer, sealers, and cure times, or hire a pro if you’d rather avoid the mess. When done correctly, these updates freshen the look and add a few more years of useful life.
Mix baking soda with just enough water to form a paste, then spread it over the stain and let it sit for five minutes. Wipe away with a soft, damp cloth—don’t scrub, as abrasives can dull the surface. Repeat if needed. For stubborn marks, ask your installer about cleaners made specifically for laminate.
Laminate isn’t built to battle the elements. Water, UV rays, and temperature swings quickly cause swelling, fading, and mold. Even a covered patio won’t protect the material for long. If you’re planning an outdoor kitchen or bar, skip laminate and choose a weather-tough option like stone, tile, or concrete so you don’t end up replacing your counters after the first season.
Traditional laminate isn’t the greenest choice. Most sheets rely on plastics like melamine and can emit trace VOCs over time. They also can’t be recycled at the end of their life. A few brands now use recycled pulp cores, but plastics still make up much of the product.
If sustainability tops your list, consider natural or recyclable materials such as solid wood, stone, or recycled glass instead.
