Countertops

Use and Care
Always use a cutting board when cutting, chopping, etc.  Protect the counter from heat and extremely hot pans:  if you cannot put your hand on it, do not put it on the counter.

Cleaners
Avoid abrasive cleaners that will damage the luster of the surface.

Caulking
The caulking around the edge of your countertops and between the countertops and the sink may shrink, leaving a slight gap.  Refer to "Caulking" for maintenance hints for this condition.

Cosmetic Damage
Any major surface imperfections--chips, cracks, scratches, etc.--reported on the final walk-through list will be repaired by SK Builders.  Repairs of any damages not on the final walk-thorugh list will be the Homeowner's responsibility.

Laminates
Laminated countertops typically will have one or more discernible seams.  There should be no gap at the seams.
