Pricing & Value
How much do new countertops cost?
Installed prices start at $39/sf for granite, $45/sf for quartz, $65/sf for quartzite and $75/sf for marble. A typical 45 sf kitchen runs roughly $2,000–$3,500 depending on stone, edges and cutouts. Use our instant calculator for an itemized number.
Is the quote really all-inclusive?
Yes. The price we confirm after the in-home measurement is the price you pay — it includes fabrication, edges, standard cutouts, installation and sealing. No surprise charges on install day.
Can you match a lower quote?
Found a lower written quote for the same stone and scope? Bring it in and we'll match it. Our pricing is honest and all-inclusive from the start — no surprise charges on install day.
Process & Timeline
How long does the whole process take?
Most kitchens go from quote to installed quickly: instant quote today, in-home measurement usually next business day, in-house CNC fabrication in a few days, then a 1-day installation.
Do you remove my old countertops?
Yes, tear-out and haul-away of existing tops is available. We also reconnect basic plumbing for your sink.
Do you use subcontractors?
Never. Our own W-2 templaters, fabricators and installers handle every step — one company, one point of accountability.
Care & Materials
Which stone needs the least maintenance?
Quartz — it's nonporous, never needs sealing, and resists stains and bacteria. Soap and water is all it needs.
How do I keep natural stone sealed?
We seal granite, quartzite and marble on install day with a 15-year warranty on the application. After that, a 15-minute reseal once a year keeps it protected.
Can I put hot pans directly on the surface?
Granite and quartzite handle heat beautifully. For quartz and marble, use a trivet to be safe.
