Strengths and Weaknesses
Strengths:
- Laminate bathroom and kitchen countertops are made with higher quality than ever before. The process has been refined to make them more durable.
- They also remain one of the most affordable types of countertops available with prices far below those for granite, quartz, tile, etc.
- Laminates come in the widest selection too, with a large palette of colors, hundreds of patterns and designs, and now, textured surfaces too.
- For cleanup, there’s nothing easier than laminate countertops. The surface is solid, without pores, so a soapy washcloth or sponge is usually all that is needed.
- Laminate seams can be hidden more easily than most countertop seams.
Weaknesses:
- Laminate countertops can be more easily scratched than most surfaces so it is best to do any cutting in the kitchen on a cutting board.
- Laminate is not as heat resistant as other surfaces so hot pans should not be placed on laminate countertops.
- In the bathroom, if you use hot hair tools, avoid setting them down hot on your laminate bathroom countertops.
- If the laminate surface is scratched, burned or chipped, it is very difficult to repair.
- While there are many attractive laminate colors and patterns, some may still want the natural beauty that more expensive countertop materials such as granite or wood provide.
Who Should Consider Laminate Countertops?
Because of the color selection, affordability and versatility, laminate surfaces are also popular for home offices, laundry areas, workshops and other locations throughout the home. Most importantly, you should find the right kitchen countertop that suits your individual needs, and laminate is a good choice for those with a family that includes small children.

[Room Addition]
My husband and I decided to use your companies remodeling services when we watched Joe and Danette F.’s home being built in 2004. We met Scott Miller your salesman, and relayed to him what we thought we might want our addition to look like. Scott was very thorough and confident with his design, and incorporated the ideas that we wanted with ease. We decided to have our remodel start in November 2004, and Scott was very accommodating, showing us step by step what we were to expect of your company in a reasonable time frame, about 3 months. A schedule of payments was submitted by us through all phases of the work. The crew was very respectful of our home and us. Tom and Isa, spent several days here and we noticed that all of your employees were able to do any of the tasks up to code. Greg Miller, the lead framer helped us plan out little extra details that we had not thought of. David Westover did the stucco, drywall and painting and everything matches the existing home and looks very professional. Greg Larrision did the final trim, and Deb Taylor did the final cleanup inside our home as well as the outside. Your crew was here every day at the same time, and left our home in a clean and neat fashion before they left for the day. Our home was completed 2 weeks ahead of schedule. We don’t want to forget Jeremy, we don’t want to forget his time and effort in this project. He seems to be getting trained for his position quite well. We are very pleased with the work that was done and we will highly recommend your company to anyone looking for a new home to be built or a remodeling job.
