The Cost of Granite Countertops: Understanding How Granite Countertops are Priced

March 06, 2012

Consumers need to know and understand the certain facets of the granite countertop industry in order to make informed, confidant decisions. By educating themselves on granite pricing, consumers can better assess and compare the true value of individual granite countertop products.

For example, one quote for granite countertops may appear to be a better value then another, but it may only be because part of the total cost is excluded. These are most likely granite countertop quotes that are given in square feet, which can be deceiving as it leaves out all other required costs.

This quote will prevent any surprises later on as it includes not only the stone per square foot but also the edge polishing cutouts, backsplashes and installation, as well.
