However, we understand that there are numerous countertop refinishing companies in Portland and Vancouver, and it's important to ensure you choose the best one. Here are a few tips.

There are various methods of countertop refinishing to choose from in Portland, OR. We employ different methods based on your specific needs. While the final outcome may appear similar, the preparation process significantly varies depending on the countertop surface we are refinishing. Some countertops simply need a cleaning and clear coat to restore their shine and make them look like new. Others require deep etching and honing to eliminate deep scratches or pitting before the refinishing process can take place.

Once the countertop is prepared, we refinish the entire surface according to your color preference.

We offer 3 levels of countertop refinishing. Basic, Deluxe and Best. Ask your technician for pricing.

Chip repairs are typically covered in the price of a standard refinishing job. We scrape and sand all the rough edges to prepare the surface for our repair materials. Then we carefully fill and sand the surface to prepare for the new coatings. Our chip repairs are virtually undetectable.

You can also pay for just a chip repair. This is more common in marble, granite, Corian and other composite materials.

We offer three different warranties based on your needs. Our Basic Countertop Refinishing process comes with a one year no-peel warranty. Our Deluxe Countertop Refinishing comes with a five year no-peel warranty. Our Best Countertop Resurfacing comes with Portland's only Lifetime No-Peel Warranty. This costs a little extra, but ensures that you are covered if the surface ever starts to peel.

Depending on the process you choose, your countertop could be ready to use within a day or so. We recommend waiting 24-48 hours to ensure that the surface is completely cured and ready for use.

Using your newly refinished countertop too soon could void your warranty and lead to costly repairs. It pays to wait.

The time required for countertop refinishing depends on the extent of the repairs and the curing time of the coatings. Generally, the process can be completed in a day or two, and the countertop is usually ready for use within 24-48 hours.

While there are DIY refinishing kits available, professional countertop refinishing is recommended for optimal results. Professionals have the expertise and equipment to ensure proper surface preparation and coating application. We are often called to remove DIY products and perform professional countertop refinishing. Save money elsewhere and get it done right the first time, by Renew-It.

The durability of a refinished countertop depends on factors such as the quality of materials used and how well the surface is prepared. When done professionally, a refinished countertop can last for several years and even decades with proper care. Renew-It Countertop Refinishing offers a 1 year, 5 year and a Lifetime Warranty against peeling. Your choice.

In general, most countertops made of materials like Formica, tile, plastic, marble, granite and other stone can be refinished. However, severely damaged countertops or those with structural issues may not be suitable for refinishing. Ask your technician for more details.

To maintain a refinished countertop, avoid using abrasive cleaners or tools. Clean the surface regularly with non-abrasive, mild cleaners, like dish detergent and avoid dropping heavy or sharp objects onto the countertop like small appliances, pots and pans. Ask your technician for more details on cleaning your newly refinished countertop.

Absolutely! Countertop refinishing allows for color changes. You can choose a separate color for different countertops in your kitchen or bath. Professional countertop refinishing services offer a wide variety of color options.

Some refinishing products may have a noticeable odor during application, but proper ventilation can minimize this. We ventilate the odors using a fan and exhaust system to prevent any odors from staying in your home. Some light odors will be present for a day or so as the surface dries and cures.

The cost of countertop refinishing varies depending on factors such as the countertop's condition, size, and the level of repairs needed.

Refinishing often costs as much as 75-85% less than replacement costs so it is a great option for those on a budget.
