Granite Countertops Resurfacing
When Do I Need to Resurface My Granite Countertops?
When it comes to keeping your Granite countertops in their best condition, knowing when to resurface them is key. Generally speaking, granite countertops need to be resurfaced if the surface has become scratched or stained and cannot be cleaned with regular cleaning methods especially if the granite has not been regularly sealed as per the manufacturer’s care instructions. Additionally, your granite countertops may be an old pattern or color and look dated and out of style. If you’re dealing with either of these issues, it may be time to call in a professional for a countertop resurfacing job.
When do you need to resurface your granite countertop? The answer depends on several factors such as the type of granite, the amount of wear and tear, and how often it is cleaned and sealed. Generally speaking, if your granite is old and dated, has lost its glossy finish or if there are deep scratches in the surface, then it’s probably time for a resurface. It’s also a good idea to resurface granite if it has been exposed to high levels of humidity or frequent spills, as these can cause discoloration and staining.
If you’re unsure whether your granite countertop needs resurfacing, consider consulting a professional who can assess the condition of the stone and recommend the best course of action. Resurfacing is best done by experienced professionals, as they have the right tools and techniques for the job.
Why Countertop Refinishing?
When most people imagine updating their kitchens, they picture tearing out everything and starting from scratch. Thankfully, taking such drastic measures aren’t necessary in order to give your kitchen a whole new look.
Kitchen countertop resurfacing can do wonders for your home’s aesthetics, while costing a lot less and with next to no hassle. Take a look at some of the benefits of refinishing your bathroom or kitchen countertop rather than replacing them.

Advantages of Resurfaced Granite Countertops
Granite countertops are a popular choice for many homeowners due to their durability and aesthetic appeal. However, over time, they become dated and worn with regular use. Resurfacing granite countertops is an increasingly popular option as it not only transforms them to an updated look but also restores the counters but makes them look like new without completely replacing them–saving both time and money.
One of the main advantages of resurfacing granite countertops instead of replacing them is that it takes significantly less time to complete. A full replacement may take 10-14 days, while the resurfacing process typically takes just one or two days depending on the size of the kitchen. This makes it ideal for busy households who don’t have much free time to commit to a remodel project.
Resurfacing provides an opportunity for homeowners to customize their existing counters without going through the hassle of replacing them. With so many colors and designs available, they can choose a style that perfectly matches their kitchen decor while still taking advantage of all the benefits provided by granite countertops.
Resurfaced countertops are highly durable and can last for many years with normal care. The materials used in the resurfacing process are designed to withstand wear and tear from constant use. They also resist heat, scratches, chips, and staining. Additionally, the new surface won’t fade or discolor over time, ensuring the countertops look great for years to come.
For those who are looking to reduce their environmental impact, resurfacing granite countertops is a great option. The resurfacing process uses significantly fewer resources than a full replacement, which requires the disposal of the old counters and the purchase of new ones – both creating a large ecological footprint. Resurfacing is also more affordable since it doesn’t require purchasing any additional materials, making it accessible to many different budgets.

Why should I consider refinishing or resurfacing?
Refinishing and resurfacing are cost effective alternatives to replacing your countertop that is outdated, damaged, difficult to maintain, or simply not the look you want for your surfaces. Renew Resurfacing will repair chips, cracks, and damage to restore your surface to look and feel brand new. You’ll save your hard earned money and avoid weeks of demolition mess and costly replacement.
What is the refinishing process?
The first step, and most important, is the preparation of the surface. The preparation of your surface makes up about 90% of your project. The countertop is carefully prepared to ensure that we are using the best products to fit your wants and needs, all while maintaining the integrity of your surfaces. Your floors, and walls are carefully covered to fully protected them from any unwanted mess/damage. We use drop cloths on every inch of your home that may be affected by the refinishing process, and mask off other areas to ensure your home is left exactly as we found it. Next, we apply a bonding agent. This creates a permanent bond between your surface and our coating. Now we apply our special blend adhesive primer, followed by 3 to 4 coats of our premium coating depending on what your surface requires. The end result is a smooth, glossy, easy to clean surface. No steps are skipped and great attention to detail is taken to give the customer the highest quality results. The counter is ready for use in as little as 48 hours!
Which surfaces can I have refinished or resurfaced?
Countertops – laminate, tile, solid surfaces, cultured marble, wood, granite, and marble
Bathtubs – porcelain, fiberglass, acrylic, cultured marble, clawfoot tubs
Ceramic Tile – walls, countertops, shower pans, showers, floors
Is epoxy countertop cheaper than granite?
Epoxy, when compared to granite, offers a non-porous surface with high durability that promises longevity. It is much more affordable, anywhere from 3-5 times less expensive than granite depending on the scope of the work.
Do epoxy countertops scratch easily?
Epoxy is a very popular choice for refinishing due to the durability of the epoxy resin. It doesn’t scratch easily, and provides many years of use before the surface fades or becomes dull. It can also handle most common cleaning materials without losing its luster or shine.
Is there an odor?
New finishes contain necessary solvents to make the finish both durable and reliable. Generally, the odor will dissipate within 24-48 hours as the finish completely cures and creates a long lasting, beautiful new finish! If you or anyone in your household are sensitive to paint-like odors, please let us know so we can discuss accommodations for your service.
How long will the new finish last?
With proper care and maintenance, Renew Resurfacing can extend the life of your surfaces for up to 10-15 years or more. Our premium products create a chemical bond between old and new surfaces, assuring your surfaces a long life so that you can enjoy your refinished countertop, tub, and tile for years to come.
What are my color choices?
Renew Resurfacing has a variety of high quality finishes that can give your surfaces whatever look and feel you want! We customize your surfaces to be as unique and original as you are, so do not hesitate to bring any finish ideas to the table.
