So the house Im trying to buy has shitty laminate kitchen counter tops. Im looking for the quickest and most cost effective way to have somebody resurface them. What say you?

If you are a DIYer, you could consider epoxy assuming the existing countertop is in good shape.
Tile could be another option. I experimented with it once. Only issue is it's harder to get it real flat, and some things like microwave or toaster may rock a bit. That may have been completely on me...Politicians can kiss my ass!!! -
Laminate will be the most cost effective . . . as for the most part . . . they are purchased at the lumber store . . . glued in place . . . and it is done.
Any half baked carpenter can do that for you . . . lots of time it is buy it . . . put it in place . . . glue the end cap on . . . make the cutout for the sink . . . viola . . . done.
I won't be doing the marble stuff myself . . . our laminate is 30+ years old . . . done like the above . . . and still looks good.
May God bless,

My buddy does laminant counter tops. He says if the old is still stuck down real good, he would just put new laminate right over the old. That is probably your easiest, cheapest option.Comment

Concrete is an option but it's popular right now and could be expensive.Comment

Pay cash and do not ask for a receipt. Your dollar will go much further if you use a small independent business and you will likely be able to afford much nicer counters than you originally planned.Comment

I replaced my old laminate countertops in Houston with Quarts. Low maintenance, (no Sealing needed) lower cost, and easier to clean. They were in and out in one day. I don't remember what I paid off hand but I remember it was much lower then I was anticipating.
