Choosing countertops for your multi-family homes.

When renovating or building multifamily kitchens, choosing the right multifamily countertop is one of the most important aspects of the design that goes beyond just an aesthetic. Choosing a multifamily countertop is an investment you want to last for years to come; one that will both please tenants and withstand their wear. Think about the practical aspects of different types of countertops. Just like making any type of decision, there are pros and cons. Multifamily Countertops have varying degrees of hardness, durability, heat, and stain resistance. When it comes to the design, would you prefer a natural stone, or would a manufactured composite material fit the bill? While you may have the color and style mapped out in your head, if the material of the countertop doesn’t suit the application, there’s a chance you’ll regret your choice.

Popular countertop materials for multi-family homes

Whether you are building or remodeling a multifamily property, you will need durable countertops for each kitchen and bath. Selecting a durable, yet appealing countertop will help attract new residents and increase rental value. Below are popular countertop materials that are well-suited for multi-family properties, considering their durability, low maintenance requirements, and versatility in design.

Quartz countertops

Quartz countertops have gained popularity in multi-family applications due to their numerous benefits. These countertops offer exceptional durability, making them resistant to scratches, chips, and cracks, which is especially advantageous in high-traffic areas. Additionally, quartz is non-porous, eliminating the need for sealing and making it highly resistant to stains and water damage.

Laminate countertops

Laminate countertops are popular for multi-family properties due to their numerous advantages. One significant benefit is their affordability, making them a cost-effective option for large-scale projects. Moreover, laminate countertops come in an extensive array of design choices, allowing property owners to achieve various looks and styles. The easy installation process of laminate countertops further adds to their appeal, providing a convenient and efficient solution for multi-family settings.

Solid surface countertops

Solid surface countertops are an excellent choice for multi-family projects, offering a range of features and benefits. These countertops are highly durable and impact-resistant, ideal for high-traffic areas requiring long-lasting surfaces. Solid surface countertops provide a clean and modern aesthetic, elevating the overall design. Additionally, they are resistant to stains and easy to repair if any damage occurs.

Porcelain Countertops

Perhaps the biggest advantage of porcelain countertops is their all-around resistance. Since porcelain is non-porous, it absorbs little to no water and holds up well against most tough stains. This makes it quite convenient in busy households with frequent sticky or acidic spills.

 

How expensive is a countertop for multi-family homes?

The two largest factors are labor and material. You can save a lot of money by installing countertops yourself and choosing a cheaper material, but professionally installed countertops in a more durable, high-quality material typically last longer—and fetch a higher value when you sell your multi-family home.

Depending on which type of countertop you choose, expect to spend between $3 and $200 per square foot. Most homeowners will spend somewhere between $10 and $150 per square foot, or $80 per square foot on average. (The average kitchen has roughly 30 square feet of counter space.)

To keep your material costs down, think about tile, laminate or limestone countertops. Ceramic and porcelain tile are budget-friendly options for countertops:

  • Ceramic countertops cost between $3 and $15 per square foot
  • Porcelain countertops cost between $900 and $2400 per square foot.

 

Customization options to kitchen design in multi-family home

Designers traditionally selected warm and soothing colors of taupe, brown, rust and gold for apartment interior design. However, the new renter nation gravitates towards more modern patterns and cooler colors, often mixed with white.

How do you maintain stone countertops in multi- family homes?

Caring for your new countertops is an important step in protecting your investment.

Certain materials may have special requirements when it comes to daily care. When cleaning countertops, for instance, it’s important to avoid using an abrasive cleaner in order to preserve the finish of the surface. Preventing direct exposure to sunlight can also help avoid discoloration over time.

Porcelain is a synthetic countertop material made from natural quartz, other minerals, and binding resins. Porcelain is resistant to scratches, stains, and heat, plus it’s nonporous. This makes quartz one of the most durable countertops you can buy for your kitchen or bathroom.

Also, many professionals recommend sealing granite countertops at least once each year. If you cook frequently in your kitchen and use the countertops daily, you might need to reseal the granite even more frequently. This used to be the advice from stone professionals over the years. For natural stone countertops, like granite or marble, sealing is essential to preserve your countertop’s luster. Avoid acidic substances that can etch the surface, and try to use pH-neutral cleaners.

FAQ

You may want to update your countertops every 10 to 15 years, though it depends on the material of your counters. Some countertop materials, like copper and marble, may be more durable and long-lasting than more budget-friendly materials like laminate.

The cheapest way to replace countertops is to do the work yourself. However, DIYing countertop installation does require some skills with tools and measuring. The work can be exhausting and requires patience, but doing it on your own (or with some friends) can save you a lot of money. Choosing a cheaper countertop material also keeps costs down; affordable options include tile and laminate countertops.

You should install your countertop before the sink and other appliances. Contractors can cut out the necessary spaces to fit in things like sinks, faucets, outlets and cooktops.

Countertop installation can take anywhere from one to three days, depending on the size of the project, the countertop material you’ve selected and how the countertops are being installed (poured in place, cut on site, prefabricated, etc.). When you get quotes from multiple contractors, ask them about their estimated timeline.

Laminate is smooth and mostly seamless, which makes it one of the countertop materials that requires the least amount of maintenance.
