Planning countertop & backsplash refinishing for your home

Start with the existing surface

Countertops and backsplashes shape the look of your kitchen. Precision Coatings of Texas offers refinishing for these existing surfaces, giving Austin homeowners another option to consider when planning an update.

Identify the materials, current finish and damaged areas first. Your proposal should explain which surfaces are included, the preparation required and the care the finished surface needs. Backsplashes, sink edges and counters may each require different attention.

What to include in your estimate request

Share photos of counters, backsplashes, seams and sink edges. Note chips, burns, loose material, water damage and earlier coatings.

Useful photos include a wide view of the space and close-ups of worn areas, edges, seams and previous finishes. Mention any active leak, loose material or other issue that could affect the work.

Compare the complete scope

Ask which surfaces and repairs are included, how preparation will be handled, which finish is proposed and what the room or space will need before work starts. Separate any optional work so you can compare proposals on the same basis.

Confirm access arrangements, installation timing and return-to-use instructions. Foot traffic, routine cleaning, water exposure and heavier use may have different requirements. Follow the guidance for the actual installed products.

Questions worth asking

Can the counter and backsplash be refinished together? Both are listed services. Their materials and condition determine whether a coordinated refinishing project is suitable.

Can refinishing change the appearance? Available finishes can provide a different look on suitable surfaces. Review samples and the proposed system before work begins.

What care will the new finish need? Follow the specified finish’s guidance for cleaning, heat, cutting and cure time. Ask for the requirements before choosing your finish.
