Kitchen Countertops Updated!
 

If you don't want to have granite countertops due to the cost, there is a inexpensive way, Consider H.D. laminate countertops, that can be installed at a reasonable price. They look great and I am a very saisfied customer of:

Kreative Kitchen's, James Baker. 352.267.6925. A very nice young man who will come to your home to show you samples and quote you a price. I found him to be a pleasure to work with, and he knows his stuff!!!

Some people who have granite counetrtops have said they are impressed, with the job he did!!!

Don Cunningham, a sponsor of this site, recommended James to me. I am totally happy with the job, that James did!!!

Pictures?
 

We are looking to use laminate for our countertops also. Do you have any pictures you can post? Would love granite, but we are redoing all of our flooring also, so laminate would be the most cost effective. The samples we saw at some stores looked amazing.

did you have the sinks under mounted?

This is a Wilsonart HD laminate we used to replace a counter. It looks great and we have received many compliments.

Since I am techically challenged. you can Google, Wilsonart Hd Laminate web site and see examples. I selected the Italian marble type and it is stunning.

I bought new sinks, as I didn't want my older sinks with the upgraded H.D. laminte. Like wearing sneakers with a tuxedo. :D

James incorporated the plumber's bill into my quote. I went to Lowe's to buy the sinks and new faucets. Matter as well do it right the first time. Another $500 or $600. James did the countertops for less than 2K including the plumbers fee.

Total was approximately $2500. Cheap, for what I got. IMHO

Thank you upstate and 2b for all the info and picture. Decisions, decisions!

this looks like what my neighbor has, in a yellowish-beige. It's very pretty. I can't remember if her sink is undermounted.

Joe, is your sink undermounted?

Cyndy:

No.t's mounted on top of the H.D. Laminate as James cuts the appropriate size hole, for the sink to fit perfectly!

Jim also did my kitchen and 2 bathrooms. Great work, with plumbers costs inocorporated. I am completely satisfied and would recommend Kitchen Kreations to everyone.
