Why is replacement different in Central San Diego?
Countertop replacement in North Park, Hillcrest, and South Park frequently involves original tile or laminate countertops from 1940s and 1950s construction that homeowners are finally swapping out as the neighborhood continues to appreciate. The cabinet boxes under these original countertops are often in reasonable condition despite their age, but they require leveling before templating. Replacement projects in Central San Diego commonly include a backsplash replacement as well, since removing an old countertop usually disturbs the wall surface behind it.
