Ugly Countertop Problems
Sadly, ugly countertops can make a perfectly good kitchen look bad because of a few blemishes that you can’t hide under the toaster oven or blender. What I mean is if your countertops have enough of the following flaws, it may be time to think of replacing them.
- scratches
- burn marks
- cracked
- outdated
- color stained
- smudges and scrapes
