"We would absolutely recommend John Ambrose. Him and his team recently did a complete kitchen and mudroom remodel for us and we couldn't be happier. He had full transparency with the time the projects would take to complete, what materials would cost, and great communication with us the entire time. John exceeded our expectations in every way possible. We enjoyed working with him so much that my husband and I keep thinking of new projects we can have him do for us to help us complete our dream home!"

Measure the length of each section in inches, add 1½ inches of overhang at both ends, then divide by 12 to get linear feet. Repeat for depth (standard depth is about 25 inches). Multiply length and depth in linear feet to find the square footage you’ll need. Accurate figures help you order the right amount of material and avoid costly returns.
You determine the replacement frequency by assessing the durability and maintenance requirements of your countertop. Countertops constructed with laminate require replacement after 10 to 20 years, while countertops made of concrete, marble, or stainless steel remain in service for 50 years or more when maintained properly. Regular upkeep and high-quality materials extend lifespan and ensure lasting performance.
Kitchen countertop replacement takes one to three days to complete. Projects with a few large countertop slabs finish within one day, while installations that involve several custom shapes or extensive cutouts require additional time. A professional team removes the old countertop and installs the new one in a precise, systematic process that guarantees a secure and flawless result.
The average labor cost to replace kitchen countertops is $15 to $30 per square foot. This cost increases when installing complex materials such as porcelain or poured-in-place concrete. Contractors charge for both installation and additional services like cabinet support and precise cutting. Skilled professionals complete all work efficiently, ensuring that each countertop is securely and neatly fitted.
The best countertop material for your kitchen depends on your usage, design preferences, and maintenance requirements. Quartz counters offer superior stain resistance and low maintenance, making them ideal for everyday cooking. Granite counters provide exceptional heat resistance and a distinctive natural look, though they demand regular sealing. Choose the material that aligns with your lifestyle and kitchen design goals.
