Refinish Kitchen Countertop is Not Just a Repaint Project

Article Category: Real Estate

Author Name: Ginger Jackson

Many people are considering upgrading their kitchen, but do not have the funds to splurge on natural stone and top of the line products and appliances. If price is a concern for you, perhaps a refinish kitchen countertop project is for you. It is not just a mere repainting session. There is more involved and there are more benefits than just an attractive price.

Refinishing a kitchen countertop does involve some painting, but not in the traditional sense. You must be very careful on the paint that you choose for this because this is the area where food is prepared. Some paints have undesirable effects and others have harmful consequences to its use. Some oil-based paints are toxic and the toxicity does not disappear after the paint dries. Look for a paint that clearly states that it is safe to use around food and has a very low to no toxicity.

Latex paints will not tolerate water on it and will bubble and peel away. Some polyurethane paints tend to turn yellow and some poly-acrylic paints will stain if certain cleansers are applied to it. Be sure to pay attention to the labels and ask the home improvement clerk which paint would be best to refinish a kitchen cabinet.

Part of the refinishing project includes performing repairs to the damaged parts of the countertop. This could include propping up an end of the countertop that is sagging, smoothing out nicks, cuts, and burns, or removing and replacing just a section of the countertop that has damage that is not salvageable. You could also round off or square off corners and install special features such as a meat cutting mat before the painting begins.

Refinishing your kitchen countertop will allow you to express your creativity or flair for color coordination because you can refinish in many colors and finishes. You can also apply designer faux finishes to make your countertop look like marble, granite, or concrete. Some people have employed other designer paint finishes such as the sponge technique and the rag rolling technique. You can even refinish your kitchen countertop to match your kitchen towel set.

Other than price, one of the main attractions for refinishing kitchen countertops is that your kitchen will only be out of commission for a short amount of time. On average, you can expect to be able to fully use your kitchen again in about a day. Most of the time, you are able to lightly use the countertop after about six hours. This is highly desirable over being without a kitchen for weeks. If your kitchen needs a refresher, or you are just tired of the same old color scheme, refinish your kitchen countertop and give your home a new lease on life.
