Many factors contribute to the costs of your custom countertops. Here we will review many factors that go into the costs associated with your custom countertops.
Top 5 Factors that affect your countertop costs

This is due to the costs associated with making this material available to you. Just like the difference between a Kia car and a Bentley.
#2 Countertop Sales process
If you require a fancy showroom, Additional designer services, faster service you may find that you will pay a premium for these additional benefits.
#3 Countertop Fabrication costs
The more work required to complete the custom countertops the more the project will cost. Waterfall edges are all the rage. Thes edges increase manufacturing time, job complexity and installation time. This will add significant costs to the labor side of the project. Companies that have invested in automation and templating for accuracy also may cost more but the chances that the end product will be more accurate and less issues with installations are worth any additional cost.

At this point you can use the instant estimator to input the pieces or ...
Step #2 Math Urgh!
Now we need to total up the surface area based on these measurements. This is not too hard .. so here we go. Take each area as squares and multiply the length times the width. this will give you square inches. Then divide that number by 144 to give you square feet. add all your pieces together to get the total square feet of the project.
Enter this number into the Granite estimator to save time as the known square footage.
Step #3 Material Selection
The cost of the selected material varies a lot. Some granites are very inexpensive (as low as $29/sf in some areas of the country) and some quartzites are extremely expensive (up to as high as $200/sf ) and everything in between. The estimator has some basic price points that you can use to ballpark the estimate. Seen Below.
Step #4 Additional Granite Countertop Costs
Some additional Factors to consider:
- Sink cutout costs vary depending on what you need and want. If you have more than 1 sink cut out this is also a consideration. Cooktops don't have to be polished. Polishing edges for undermount sinks can increase costs. The more you need the more this will cost.
- Complexity of installation environment.. If you live on the 3rd floor without an elevator then this can add additional man power required. If a complicated entry requires changes to the size of pieces that can enter. All these factors are typically identified at template and can't be factored into this Granite estimator.
- Distance to location: Most Granite fabricators will have a standard distance they will travel. If your location is outside this distance you might see trip charges to cover the additional expenses. Again this can't be factored into the estimator.
- Edging: the more complicated the edging the more man hours it will take to finish. These costs are typically charged by the linear foot. The estimator does not factor a fee for edging and assumes that you will select a free edge or a less expensive edge.
