Custom Countertops
Designed for the Way You Live and Work
Custom countertops should fit the way your space looks and works. At Marengo Millwork, custom countertops are built with attention to craftsmanship, material selection, and how each surface will be used day to day. Options include solid surfaces, laminate countertops, and wood countertops for residential and commercial projects.
Whether the goal is a clean workspace, a durable kitchen surface, or a countertop that ties into surrounding millwork, each project is approached to suit the space and create a finished look.
Custom Countertop Options
Tailored Material Options for Your Space
Every countertop project starts with the material and the function of the space. Marengo Millwork offers solid surface, laminate, and wood countertops, with each option selected based on appearance, maintenance needs, and how the finished surface will be used.
Solid surfaces, including Corian, ARRAY, and Wilsonart, offer a clean look with modern patterns that can resemble natural stone. They are also practical for spaces that benefit from a surface that can be repaired if scratched or chipped.
Laminate countertops are a practical choice for many spaces. Available from brands such as Formica, Wilsonart, Laminart, Abet, Arborite, and Pionite, they offer design flexibility and a clean finished appearance for both residential and commercial applications.
Wood countertops bring natural warmth and character. They can be painted with a post-catalyzed conversion varnish or clear coated with a catalyzed polyurethane finish, depending on the desired appearance. They work especially well in spaces where the material itself is meant to be part of the overall design.

High End Custom Countertops
with Integrated Design Potential
Custom countertops are not only about the surface itself. They also need to work with the cabinetry, surrounding finishes, and how the space is used. A well-built countertop should feel like part of the room instead of something added later.
Marengo Millwork can build integrated solid surface elements that create a more seamless result. This can include:
- Integrated Bowls: Formed as part of the countertop for a smooth, unified sink area.
- Integrated Backsplash: Carries the same surface material up the wall for a cleaner transition between the countertop and vertical surface.
- Integrated Drop Downs: Extend the surface material down the exposed edge for a more finished appearance when the countertop is at different height levels.
-
Waterfall Ends: Continuing the countertop material vertically down the side of the cabinetry for a clean, continuous look.
In the right application, single-piece construction can create a cleaner, more custom appearance than a typical multi-piece installation.

Solid Surface, Laminate, and Wood Countertops Explained
Choosing the right countertop material starts with understanding how each option performs and where it works best. Marengo Millwork offers several custom countertop materials, each with its own look, benefits, and practical value.
- Solid Surfaces: Often chosen for their clean appearance and repairable nature.
- Laminate Countertops: A practical option for projects that need durability, design variety, and a straightforward finished surface.
- Wood Countertops: Often selected for their natural appearance and warmth. They can add visual depth and work well when paired with custom cabinetry and millwork.
Each option offers different advantages, and the right choice depends on the style, function, and overall goals of the space.
