Sonshine Countertop Repair, Inc.

November 20, 20253 min read

Since 1987, Sonshine Countertop Repair, Inc. has been a trusted, family-run business serving multifamily housing communities across the greater Richmond area. What began as a small operation more than three decades ago has grown into a respected, relationship-driven company known for quality craftsmanship, integrity, and genuine care for the people they serve.

A Mission Built on Integrity and Connection

For the Sonshine team, the work extends far beyond resurfacing countertops, bathtubs, and tile walls. At the heart of the company is a commitment to people. Each day brings opportunities to connect with residents, maintenance staff, and property managers—and those relationships are what make the business rewarding.

“Our mission is to provide good quality work and to always work with integrity,” the company shares. “It’s important for us to be a positive influence on everyone we meet. We understand that everyone has hardships and struggles, but we always try to brighten their day with a smile.”

This simple philosophy—treat people well, be honest, and do the job right—has shaped Sonshine Countertop Repair for nearly four decades.

Celebrating Employees and Overcoming Challenges

Running a family business comes with its challenges, but the Sonshine team sees just as many blessings. Finding trustworthy, dependable employees can be one of the biggest hurdles. However, the company feels fortunate to have attracted a team of hardworking individuals who show up each day with enthusiasm and pride in their craft.

“The Lord has blessed our company with some of the very best employees,” they note. “There will always be small fires to put out when running a company, but the good days outweigh the bad days.”

Watching employees grow—both personally and professionally—remains one of the greatest rewards. One of the company’s favorite success stories involves a young maintenance technician who began his career picking up trash on a property. Over time, he worked his way up through the ranks and eventually became a regional manager for a major company. These moments remind the team why they do what they do.

A Growing Reach With Deep Local Roots

Sonshine Countertop Repair has steadily expanded its service area and capabilities over the years. While the team continues to proudly serve Richmond, the company now operates throughout the entire Tidewater region with two dedicated teams, as well as an additional team serving Charlottesville.

Their work includes resurfacing kitchen countertops, vanities, bathtubs, surrounds, and tile walls. When damage is too significant for repair, they also provide full replacements—giving customers both flexibility and confidence in the end result.

Despite their growth, their heart remains in the community. With an office based in Powhatan, the company actively supports local events, charities, and causes. They contribute gift cards to community programs like National Night Out and donate annually to breast cancer awareness walks, among other initiatives.

Advice for New Business Owners

For those just getting started in the trades—or any business—the Sonshine leadership offers simple but powerful advice:

Stay patient. Build relationships. Do more than what’s expected. Always do what you say you’re going to do.

These values have guided the company for nearly 40 years, and they remain the foundation of its continued success.

Faith, Family, and the Future

Above all else, Sonshine Countertop Repair wants customers to know that faith and family are central to everything they do. These priorities shape their culture, their decision-making, and the way they treat every person who crosses their path.

As the company continues to grow and expand its services, one thing remains unchanged: a commitment to doing their very best and strengthening relationships with every community they touch.
