Before you consider a complete overhaul of your kitchen space, have you considered restoration? If you are wanting a simple kitchen refresh, there is no reason to do a full gut and remodel of your natural stone kitchen countertops.

If you are going for a full kitchen remodel, then that is a whole other story. Kitchen countertop restoration is easy when you let the professionals handle it. So, if you are looking to try and pair down the budget for your home kitchen revamp project, refinishing is the smart alternative to gutting your old materials.

How Kitchen Countertop Refinishing a Money-Saving Maneuver? 

The cost of natural stone can be exorbitant, which is what makes the case for countertop refinishing even stronger, especially if you are looking to cut project costs or are taking to make a fixed budget. The cost of your natural stone surfaces depends on what type of stone your kitchen countertops are made of.

Travertine and marble are two of the more affordable stone options. Travertine can cost anywhere between $25 and $100 depending on its quality. Marble starts at $10 a square foot and can cost upwards of $60 per square foot. Slabs are more expensive than tiling, but tiling is often a pain when it comes to countertop services because the grouting used creates crevices where things can build up and can make clean up a little extra. Installation costs will add another $25-50 per square foot. 

Kitchen Countertop Refinishing Services Save on Time and Money

Having to do a full gut and replacement of your natural stone countertops will add a lot to your project costs with the labor to remove the old materials and install the new counters. Add in the cost of the new stone (which will be more than what you originally paid due to inflation), and you will find that merely restoring the counters you have can be done for a fraction of the cost.

The wonderful thing about natural stone is that it is porous, which means that it is easy to repair scratches and any etching (visible staining). Fortunately, there are trained stone care professionals out there that specialize in natural stone restoration.
