About Surface Experts:
Surface Experts is a comprehensive hard surface repair company. We can fix minor damages to many surfaces, including bathtubs, cabinets, floors, appliances, countertops, furniture, elevator panels … you name it!
- By combining traditional trades with our own proprietary processes and products, we can provide long-lasting repairs that are pleasing to the eye and maintain the original materials.
- We can repair small damage rather than resurfacing or replacing, resulting in satisfied customers who keep calling us back. Our goal is a happy customer who has saved money and time while avoiding adding another damaged surface to the landfill.
- Our typical repair doesn’t make a mess, doesn’t leave a smell, and doesn’t take more than 2 hours. Technicians typically need only a tablespoon or two of product, allowing them to carry everything in a small truck or car.
