Longview Laminated Plastics

Longview Laminated Plastics has been supplying countertop material in East Texas since 1982, and its tagline pretty much sums up the operation: "We've Got Your Tops Covered!" The shop on West Branch Street sells laminate countertop material to homeowners and to professional installers alike, which makes it a useful stop whether you are doing the work yourself or hiring it out. Brands on hand include Wilsonart, Formica and PoliLam, and the shop keeps samples in every brand along with custom edges, adhesive, color-matched caulk and the installation tools the job takes. It also makes handmade custom cabinets and offers free measurement. Worth knowing before you call: the company does not claim to install countertops itself. Instead it says it can connect customers with trusted, experienced professional installers in the area. For a kitchen refresh where solid surface is out of reach, a laminate top from a shop that has been at this for four decades is a sensible middle path.
