"I can't say enough about how beautiful my kitchen looks. Ebby made a suggestion which gave me more countertop space. It gave my kitchen a more updated look than I had ever dreamed. I sent pictures to family and friends right away. He tore out the old countertop down to the base MDF that the builder had used. He custom cut 3/4" plywood onsite. I could see the sturdiness of the counters before he had applied the laminate. The seams were not visible unless you were closely examining the counter. The edges of the counters were just as beautiful as was the backsplash. His work was impeccable. Regarding customer service, he kept me notified on when the materials would be in as I had a personal schedule he had to work around. His professionalism was outstanding. In the end, he was hooking up the pipes to my new sink. I didn't get new pipes purchased, so one of the old ones cracked as it was being tightened. At 7:00 at night he was insistent that he go from my house in the country to the nearest town to find that part so I was not left with a problem. Luckily, my neighbor down the road is a plumber and I got him to come over with the part. I don't think Ebby was going to leave me with a problem that night. Service people don't do that these days. He wasn't leaving till his job was done well. In the end, he made sure that he and his helper left the area clean of any mess. You won't regret hiring him for your job. The quality of work blew my mind. I just never expected the extra mile he goes to make the project everything you expect and more."

FAQs for laminate countertops installation projects in Simonton, TX

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.
