Formica countertops??

Question

I bought a house about a year ago and it has pretty new cabinets but the counter top is terrible whoever installed it didn't do a great job.. my question is i have 12' of counter top where can i get a slab of Formica to install myself? Home depot and lowes seem to only have counter tops up to 10 feet? any ideas? can i put two pieces together or will that look sloppy whoever installed the countertop that is there found an long enough peice.. remember i want to do this for cheap.. do i have to custom order? thanks for all answers

Answer 1

I am a cabinet maker and i own a custom kitchen company, if your looking to save money i would suggest going to superpages.com enter your zip code and then look for local companies that build custom kitchens and give them the measurements, i'm sure they will be glad to order one for you. Also if you type in counter top manufacturers you might get lucky and go right to the source, however some of these places require you to have an account with them to place orders and usually need to have a license in some construction field.

I pay between 20 and 35 dollars a liner foot (12"x25") at the place i buy from, depending on which look i'm going for.

Yes. A custom order. Go back to Lowes or Home depot. They will order but you have options on how you order to get the best price. They will order with a regular shipment and you will not get any shipping this way.
