    Looks awesome! My only suggestion - as someone who installs countertops for a living - don't silicone ONTO the cabinet then place the stone on it, rather put the stone in place then go up from inside and silicone where the stone meets the cabinet walls. This way, you're not tearing apart your cabinets if you want to change your countertops in the future. You'd just simply run your knife across the silicone, much like you did when cutting the silicone away from the splash and countertop in the beginning of the vid.

      We have laminate in our kitchen. We've only had it for 5 years. Looks dark and I want something lighter. Of course my husband is having a fit (can't blame him) because to take of our laminate, it will be a tough job because they glued it down tight, not just silicone where the stone meets the cabinet walls. So we are screwed in terms of tearing this out. He is afraid it will not only hurt our new cabinets but will destroy the bottom part of our backsplash tile. I wish someone knowledgeable could help us remove it. Also have an 8' x 3' island. My husband thinks adding quart to this length will cost up to $5,000 just for a quartz or Solid Surface put on. I just don't what to do at this point.

      You can paint over the laminate. There are tons of videos on UA-cam to show you how and what paint to use. Or you can epoxy the counter tops and again there are tons of videos on UA-cam to show you how and what to use.

    It's true, I tell all new home owners to immediately change all countertops from laminate to some sort of stone. This way, not only can the owners enjoy the property more, but it also raises the value of the property if they ever decide to sell it.
    Don't make the mistake of doing major renovation right before you sell the property, though it'll raise the value of the property up by quite a bit, but it just makes you feel stupid for not doing it earlier so that you can enjoy it more.

  • @xworkerbee
    @xworkerbee 4 роки тому +3

    In most cases your counter top will not slide out that easily. The tile or whatever backsplash is there is going to overlap it and in addition to the underside screws, there is likely going to be some additional adhesive securing the counter top to the cabinets. This video shows the ideal situation.

The charge is $500.00 to remove a butcherblock just laying on my island and 3 pieces or formica. So for about a dozen screws a $500.00 charge... hmmm Guess I will try to take it apart myself and save the money after watching this video.

    Most installers would not recommend gluing the stone to the cabinets otherwise if the top is ever damaged the cabinets could be damaged when it is removed. Instead they would have pulled out the stove and done a bead of caulk or silicone around the perimeter of the cabinet under the overhang. That way if it needs to be removed the silicone can be cut and the top lifted without damaging the cabinets. Also your comment about not getting quartz hot is incorrect, I worked in a stone shop and there were blow torches used on quartz all the time to quickly dry it off. Now I am a cabinet and counter top dealer and highly recommend quartz over granite. Granite varies in density and the lighter colors tend to chip or crack quite a bit and need repaired. Also they need sealed EVERY year or else they will stain.

    • @HomeRenoVisionDIY
      @HomeRenoVisionDIY  6 років тому +1

      Eric! to tell people that the resin does not change appearance after it gets too hot is irresponsible. We both know the torch is just contacting the surface for a fraction of a second. BTW I would suggest using a rag to dry the counter after cutting.

    Granite and quartz not that expensive if you know where to buy it. I've purchased 25" x 8' granite slabs for as little as $70 a few years ago, it maybe $150 now. For about $300 and up you have some nice eye popping choices. Completely doable for DIYs with the exception of cutouts for under-mount sinks. That you need the right tools and lots of practice.

    It was easy for you to remove that old counter top. However, I just did mine and my Formica counter tops were made on site. Therefore, the particle board was nailed to the cabinets and then the Formica installed over the nailed particle boards. Additionally, the counter tops were flush with the drywall. On top of that, tile back splash was installed over the counter tops - no back gaps. To make matters worse, there were two 45 degree angles plus a 90 degree in one of the counter tops. It was a continuous 12 - 13 foot top. Needless to say, it was much more difficult to remove the counter tops than the one you removed in your video. I eventually accomplished it by cutting the counter top into "jigsaw puzzle" and removing it piece by piece - but it sure took me longer than it took you. By the way, I had the new quartz counter top professionally installed. I was not about to take on that task with at 12 foot multi angled counter top. Yea, to install a 2 x 3 foot no angle rectangle top - OK, no big deal; but that was not my situation. But to be clear, I love your videos overall; it is just that my situation with the counter tops was rather different as I had about 50 s.f. to do and two of the three counter tops were multi angled and long.

    Loved this video! Thank you so much Jeff! Hey, so would you say that quartz countertops are equally as valuable in home sale, as is granite? We're thinking of changing out the granite to quartz & wondered about solid surface materials like this. thanks!!

    I’m taking out an old Formica top and need to level the old cabinet tops a bit to be ready for quartz.... any videos on making this easier? I have a laser and levels and such. ...?

    I know most contractors probably think plywood is impractical as a countertop, or for flooring, walls, ceilings, and so on, but I absolutely love the look. No, I don't want it everywhere in the house, (even though I have seen those videos), but there are plausible uses for it. Do you have any videos on the subject, and/or what are your thoughts about using plywood sheeting in various places around the home, Jeff? And thank you for another useful video.

      A good finished cabinet grade plywood as a countertop can be quite nice with the right finish. You do need to use a drop in sink however. But great economical way of doing things. Cheers!

      Hey Jeff, can you let Max know I responded to his comment in the last video. I would appreciate that. And thank you for the reply to my question. You know, eventually this channel will be too big for you to respond to every comment. Just know that when that time comes, I'll still be a faithful subscriber, even though you'll be ignoring me by then. LOL

      Will do Sandy, If the channel gets that big then I will make sure to comment on all the questions at least. And of course I will always look for your comments. Cheers!

    Would you recommend marble for a counter top? Also, can marble handle heat, unlike quartz?
