What's Included in This Service

Homeowners often want to know what's involved in refacing, how long it takes, and whether their existing stone can support the changes they have in mind. Here are answers to the most common questions about updating countertop surfaces.

What types of edge profiles can you create?
Common options include beveled, ogee, waterfall, and mitered edges. The choice depends on your design preference and the thickness of your existing stone.
How long does a refacing project typically take?
Most residential projects are completed in one to two days, depending on the size of the countertop and the complexity of the edge work. Commercial jobs may take longer.
Can you change the finish from polished to honed?
Yes, surface treatments can be adjusted to shift from high-gloss polished finishes to matte honed or leathered textures. Each finish changes the look and feel of the stone.
Is refacing suitable for older homes in Irmo?
Absolutely. Many older homes in Irmo have solid stone countertops that are structurally sound but lack the edge details and finishes popular in newer construction. Refacing bridges that gap.
What tools are used during the refacing process?
CNC routers, diamond grinders, edge profilers, and variable-speed polishers are commonly used to reshape edges and refine surface textures with precision.

Updating your countertops without replacing them gives you a faster, more affordable path to a fresh look that suits your current style.
