The biggest savings come from decisions you make before templating.

Where Granite Costs Come From

Price depends on the stone itself, the square footage, the number of cutouts, the edge profile and the complexity of the layout. Exotic slabs with dramatic movement cost more than common, widely available colors.

Removal of old tops, backsplashes and plumbing work add to the total. Knowing which parts you can handle yourself, and which you cannot, helps keep a budget realistic.

Planning a Budget Friendly Project

  1. 01

    Set priorities

    Decide where stone matters most and where simpler finishes are fine.

  2. 02

    Compare colors

    Ask which stones are commonly stocked.

  3. 03

    Simplify

    Reduce cutouts and complex shapes where you can.

  4. 04

    Compare proposals

    Look at what each includes, not only the bottom line.

Value That Lasts

A well chosen granite countertop can last for decades with only occasional resealing. Spending a little more on proper support and installation protects that value.

Common speckled granites are popular for good reason: they hide crumbs, resist wear and pair with nearly any cabinet color.
