KITCHEN COUNTERTOP REPLACEMENT

A replacement countertop can be installed anywhere you already have a countertop or cabinetry in your home. It is also ideal for a kitchen island, providing both functionality and style to the space.

It can also be a design solution when you need a work surface, table top, or desk space on an existing base. Updating your new kitchen countertops can transform the room and complement your overall kitchen design.

Each of our replacement countertops is designed and built from scratch, allowing us to work with any measurements or features that are already in place. For best results and longevity, we recommend regular cleaning and care. Whether you need a full replacement or just select areas upgraded, our solutions can fit seamlessly into your home.

We can replace all existing countertops, but it is also possible to build replacement island countertops or replacements for individual countertop sections.

We have the following for replacing kitchen countertops:

• Granite Countertops

• Natural stone countertops

• Marble countertops

• Solid surface countertops

• Quartz countertops

Kitchen Countertop Replacement

Kitchen countertops are among those that most frequently need to be replaced. 

Not only do these surfaces see extensive use with sharp knives, hot pans, and food spills, but they are in an area of your home where many families spend much of their time and entertainment. 

Replacing an older counter keeps your kitchen updated for both your family’s comfort and pride in your home design.

Our kitchen countertop replacements are built to fit directly on top of existing cabinets. We take careful measurements for an exact fit and can incorporate any elements of your kitchen layout, including:

• Island Countertops

• Drop In, Undermount, or Farmhouse Sinks

• Cooktops

• and More

Our countertop options and dependable quality are made to stand up to use in busy kitchens and, with the proper maintenance and care, will retain their appearance for decades.

Bathroom Countertop Replacement

A replacement vanity countertop is an easy way to add luxury to a bathroom or match redesigned paint and tile without replacing the vanity. Replacing a bathroom countertop can also add value to your property with limited investment.

Outdoor Countertop Replacement

Outdoor kitchens and grilling stations naturally age faster due to sun and weather exposure, even when the materials are made to withstand the elements. 

Replacing a weathered outdoor countertop restores the functionality of your outdoor space with a countertop that matches any existing stylistic elements.

We can advise you on the materials that are most resistant to the various weather conditions around Philadelphia and West Chester to ensure your countertop will last as long as possible.

Custom Countertop Replacement for Any Location

While kitchens, both indoor and outdoor, and bathrooms make up the majority of our countertop replacements, you may have countertops installed throughout your home. 

When any of these need to be replaced, we have the products for you. We provide:

• Pantry Countertop Replacement

• Office Countertop Replacement

• Utility Room Countertop Replacement

• Bar Countertop Replacement

Anywhere there is counter space in your home, it can be replaced with one of our slab countertops to provide a new look, better durability, special functionality, and more.

When you choose to replace a countertop in your kitchen, bathroom, or elsewhere in your home, you have all the options of a brand-new countertop. 

If you prefer the look and characteristics of your existing countertop but it has been damaged, we can often find and design a similar replacement.

But replacing a countertop is also a good chance to completely alter the style of a kitchen or bathroom. Many existing layouts and cabinet styles match a variety of countertops. 

Our skilled designers can help you identify what will fit with your existing aesthetic while introducing the new style concepts you are seeking. 

With our showroom of different slabs, we are also able to offer a variety of choices and looks to choose from.

We can also focus replacement countertop design around function. Even if you like your current design, your family’s changing needs or moving into a new home may make the countertop less than adequate. 

If previous wear has made your current countertop unserviceable, we can suggest alternative materials that are better adapted to your lifestyle and the wear and tear your countertops regularly experience.

The variety of materials used in countertop fabrication today provides you with choices of colors and patterns. We also help homeowners who are replacing kitchen countertops choose the best options for their space.

Natural stone slabs remain an attractive option for kitchens and bathrooms, while manufactured stone countertops offer a range of choices at every price point. When comparing options, many clients ask about the best kitchen countertop material and how pricing works per square foot.

Some of the most popular kitchen styles we can create countertops for include contemporary, traditional, rustic, Mediterranean, and modern, but the available options make many other styles possible.

We also provide guidance on other countertop materials and help you select a scratch-resistant material that fits your lifestyle and design preferences.

The materials we can fabricate custom replacement countertops from include:

• Granite – Granite has long been the most popular and valuable countertop material. It is extremely durable and requires little maintenance. Available in multiple colors, the grain of each slab means that every countertop is unique.

• Quartz – Engineered quartz countertops come in many shades and colors and are one of the most long-lasting countertop options, adding value to any home.

• Marble – For a luxurious space, marble countertops are available in many shades with a natural veining that sets them apart. Marble is among the most expensive options and requires ongoing maintenance, but it creates a statement kitchen.

• Soapstone – Typically available in whites and greys, soapstone has a vintage appeal and easy maintenance. It is also eco-friendly.

• Solid Surface – One of the most cost-effective options, solid surface is a manufactured material that can come in almost any color, imitate natural stone, and is easy to maintain.

• Wood – Wood countertops or butcher block counters are becoming a more often seen countertop material. It can look rustic or modern, can be made eco-friendly, and stand out, although they do require more maintenance than other materials.

While appearance is a key factor in choosing the base material for your replacement countertop, you also want to take into account the kinds of wear the counter surfaces in your home see. 

Granite and quartz countertops are durable, resisting scratching. Soapstone offers the benefit of resisting germs and scorching from hot pans.

The required maintenance to prevent damage to your new countertop will also depend on the material. 

For instance, marble and granite need to be regularly sealed to prevent staining and soapstone should be oiled to help the stone maintain its natural patina.

Slabs of every material are sourced from the leading manufacturers, including Corian, Cambria, and Caesarstone. 

These are brands well known for their quality, and all new brands are extensively researched and reviewed by our team before being added to our list of suppliers.

Before fabrication begins, each slab is further inspected by our team to catch any small imperfections. 

This extensive vetting process ensures that every countertop we produce is made to look good and last for years.

Color, texture, patina, and sheen are determined by the material used in a replacement countertop, but the edge profile determines the final style. 

This makes it possible to choose a material that meets your budget and functionality needs while still fitting into the overall design of your kitchen or bathroom.

Our available edge profiles range from the standard to more customized options, including:

• Beveled Edges

• Eased Edges

• Ogee Edges 

• Cove Edges 

• Bullnose Edges

• Dupont

• Waterfall

Among these main styles, further options and combinations of edge profiles can create a particular look or embody a certain style.

We can work with any underlying cabinet design, including islands, and waterfall replacement countertops are an option. 

If you have a waterfall island, Maclaren Kitchen and Bath can create separate pieces to fit each portion, working with either matching or complementary materials.

Many homeowners elect to redo the backsplash above counters at the same time that they install a replacement countertop. 

For a cohesive, modern look, we can design a countertop backsplash of the same material as your replacement countertop. 

This addition to your kitchen or bathroom will update the appearance while providing functionality with a surface that is easy to clean and maintain.

Other design considerations can be chosen for countertops that need to withstand certain types of use, provide safety around children, and more. 

The designer you work with will ask many questions during the initial consultation to get an idea of what features might be best suited for your home and make recommendations accordingly.

We are not simply a showroom, a fabricator, or an installation company. Rather, the entire process happens at our facilities in West Chester, all managed by our staff. 

Our in-house fabrication team is composed of skilled builders who bring attention to detail, precision, and craftsmanship to each countertop they make.

Because we are not sending your design off to another company or location to be manufactured, we have created a more streamlined process.

This makes it possible for us to provide replacement countertops with:

• Competitive Pricing – Since we are in charge of pricing for every part of the process, we can be sure that we are offering better value for the quality of our work.

• Consistent High Quality – We oversee each step with quality checks by our experienced team so that we are always producing the best product.

• Fast Turnaround – Other fabricators can take weeks to make a countertop. Ours can take as little as a few days, depending on the size and complexity, since we never have to wait for shipping time or get on a manufacturer’s schedule.

• Easy Communication – Your plans move from our designers to our fabricators to our installers, ensuring that nothing gets lost in the process.

When your replacement countertop and any additional items like backsplashes or cabinetry are finished, we are able to proceed with the countertop demolition of an existing counter and installation of the new piece by additional members of our team.

We oversee the entire process so that we can be sure that the countertop rendered during the design process is exactly what is fabricated and installed.

At MacLaren Kitchen & Bath, we take pride in being a local, family-owned business with the widest selection of products and services anywhere in the area.

Customer service is our priority when you interact with any member of our team. From the consultants at our design center to our licensed and bonded installers, we focus on understanding your needs and expectations so that we can meet them at every step.

What really sets us apart from other countertop and cabinetry fabrication companies is our extensive range of resources to assist you with your remodel, including:

• Extensive showroom for inspiration and design choices to fit any style and budget.

• Leading quality products at competitive prices.

• Trained designers are available to guide you through the entire process.

• Cabinet design and fabrication to assist you in a more extensive remodel.

By providing all the services necessary to produce replacement countertops in one place and the ability to create matching cabinetry at the same time, we make your renovation more straightforward. 

There is no need to involve multiple contractors and manage the individual steps on your own.

Instead, you need only come up with the ideas of what you want for your replacement countertop – appearance, style, and features – and let us create a countertop that combines function and form wherever you have us install it.
