I may have a fairly big job to resurface existing Formic counters. I haven't seen the tops yet, but I am trying to prepare myself to analyze the work involved.
Can this sort of thing be done in place? Remove the old Formica? If the tops should be removed, should I assume that I will have to do any "wall repair" such as painting caulking and God forbid, wall papering?
Just for haws, let's consider an 8 foot long top about 24" deep, mounted to a cabinet structure. It will probably have a 4" back splash. I will remove the top for resurfacing. About how long would you guess it would take to remove one, baring any unforeseen, complicated obstacles?
Maybe it would be more cost effective for the customer, to use the old ones as templates and build new ones. Suggestions? :confused:
