Kitchen Countertop Replacement

Home Services Countertop Replacement

Freshly refinished or painted cabinets look their best when the countertops match the new style.

Shelly’s Kitchens offers kitchen countertop replacement to go along with your cabinet project, so your kitchen feels fully updated—not half done.

Finish the Look with New Countertops

Maybe your cabinets are getting a beautiful new sprayed finish, but your counters are still:
  • Dated laminate
  • Dark and heavy
  • Chipped, stained, or just worn out
New countertops can:
  • Tie your cabinet color, flooring, and backsplash together
  • Make your whole kitchen feel brighter and more modern
  • Add real, long-term value to your home
Instead of calling a separate countertop company, you can keep it simple and let us coordinate your cabinets and counters as one project.

Countertop Materials We Offer

We focus on modern, durable materials that work well for busy West Michigan kitchens and pair beautifully with updated cabinets.

We’ll talk through options like:

Quartz

  • Low maintenance and non-porous
  • Wide range of colors and patterns
  • Great for families and frequent cooks

Other solid surfaces (based on your supplier mix)

  • Attractive alternatives if quartz isn’t the right fit
  • Good balance of value and appearance
During your consultation, we’ll:
  • Look at photos of your current kitchen
  • Help you find countertop colors and patterns that work with your chosen cabinet finish
  • Bring or review samples so you can see everything in your own lighting

  • Total square footage of counters and any island
  • Edge profile and number of cutouts (sinks, cooktop, etc.)
  • Discuss optional upgrades like new doors, hardware, hinges, or countertops

In your quote, we’ll clearly separate:

  • Cabinets only
  • Cabinets + countertops

So you can see what each part of the project costs and decide what to do now and what to plan for later. Cabinet refinishing and painting pricing.

Countertop Replacement FAQs

Do I have to replace my countertops when I refinish or repaint cabinets?

No. Many homeowners update cabinets first and keep existing counters if they’re in good shape. But if your countertops are dated or damaged, replacing them during the cabinet project can be the most efficient way to finish the look.
Yes. During your in-home consultation, we’ll look at cabinet colors, flooring, and lighting and help you pick a countertop that ties everything together.
We’ll coordinate timing with your countertop installer so your sink and faucet are removed and reinstalled at the right points in the process. We’ll explain how this works for your specific kitchen before the project starts.
