Anyone have granite countertops installed lately?

[Doug Hatton]

I'm looking at having the laminate countertops in my kitchen replaced with some granite slabs. Has anyone had this done recently? I priced them about a year ago or so and it was around $40-45/sq. ft., but a coworker told me that the price has come way down since then. True? I've only got about 75sq ft to do, but it's a little bit elaborate around an island with a tall curb and ledge. Anyway, just wanted to see how prices were looking.

I think I saw some for $35 / sqft at the shop Monday when I went to order floor tile for my guest bath.

$35 or so for "builder selection" stuff (common colors/patterns), $200 for tear-out, and figure $250-$350 for an undermount sink (stainless sink and fabrication. Remember you'll need new plumbing fixtures, too. More than likely, you'll want to redo your backsplash also.

There's a few companies that offer a few colors for 25/ft on craigslist. ...undermount sinks usually run around 200 or so more with the cut and sink.

C & C Kitchen and Granite did mine a few weeks ago. $25 sq/ft w/free cut out & installation of undermount sink.

Let me know if you want there number, they did a pretty good job.

Shoot me a PM. That's in the price range I had heard from my buddy. I'm not REAL picky on the particular style as long as it looks fine.

BTW, the laminate in my house when I bought it is WHITE! I hate worrying about koolaid or coffee stains or something on it. I also work on the countertop a bit when cooking and like how hard the granite is in comparison.

Damn for those prices I may do my counter in the laundry room this winter. We did our kitchen counters August '09 and used some one from the other board HEDGIEsomething.

If I can find the guy I used for tile he was super cheap. $420 materials and labor to do roughly 60ft of tile backsplash. I remember the name CT or TC.

This is the company that I used about 6-8 months ago...they offered just about any color in 3cm for 25/ft. Amy wanted Tropic Brown, which their supplier didn't have enough of, so I bought the slabs elsewhere and had them do the installation. They did undermount sinks in the restrooms and kitchen for pretty cheap too.

I did granite tile over my laminate countertops. Total cost was about $200 and I get a ton of compliments on them. I got the granite tile from Quality Surpluss right here in Lake Dallas for a great price. They are 16" tiles.

just had ~50sqft done. 3/4" slab. Color is verde butterfly. undermount sink, and mosaic tile back splash done for $3k. I provided the tile.
