Is upgrading kitchen counter to hard surface a good upgrade for resale in Oxford, AL.?
As a Kitchen Designer I get this question on a daily basis. Jan & Barry are right in both regards. If you are simply putting a solid surface counter(acrylic or granite) on old out-dated or worn out cabinetry then its almost throwing good money away. Everything else would detract from the beautiful new counter tops. Barry’s price estimates are a pretty good rule-of-thumb in most of the southern U.S. Another consideration if your home isn’t in the $200K category would be WilsonArt’s High Definition laminate, its not your grand-mother’s laminate. Additionally, in certain locations you may even be able to get an under-mount acrylic sinks in laminate counter tops now, along with amore/ogee edge profiles.
