As a ballpark estimate, the cost of painting is about $5 to $15 per square foot while the cost of replacing is about $30 to $150 per square foot. You also have to factor in the cost of removing and disposing of your current countertops, which can cost several hundred dollars.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Painting countertops is faster than replacing them.
