Counters are figured at the standard 25.5 in depth. Most kitchens land between 30 and 60 sq ft.
Choosing a material
Which material is right for you?
All three make a beautiful, long-lasting countertop. The right one depends on how you cook, how much upkeep you want, and the look you are after.
| Compare | Granite | Quartz | Quartzite |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it is | Natural stone quarried in slabs. Every one is different. | Engineered stone made from crushed quartz and resin. | Natural stone formed from sandstone under heat and pressure. |
| Look | Speckled to dramatic movement, deep color range. | Consistent pattern, including clean whites and marble looks. | Marble-like veining with more toughness than marble. |
| Heat | Very heat resistant. | Use trivets. High direct heat can mark the resin. | Very heat resistant. |
| Upkeep | Reseal every 1 to 2 years. | Non-porous. Never needs sealing. | Seal periodically, like granite. |
| Best for | Busy kitchens and anyone who wants a one-of-a-kind slab. | Families who want low maintenance and a uniform look. | The marble look without marble's softness. |

Day oneTemplate
Once your base cabinets are set and level, we measure precisely and mark every cutout and seam.
When cabinets are inFabricate
Your slab is cut, edged and polished to the template, with seams placed where they show least.
About two weeksInstall
We set, level and seam the tops, usually in one day. Your plumber reconnects the sink after.
One day
Template day checklist
Before we measure
- Base cabinets installed, level and secured to the wall.
- Sink, faucet and cooktop on site, or their spec sheets in hand.
- Old countertops removed, unless we are taking them out for you.
- Someone home who can sign off on seam placement and overhangs.
Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Should I choose granite or quartz countertops?
Choose granite if you want a one-of-a-kind natural slab with strong heat resistance and you are fine resealing it every year or two. Choose quartz if you want a consistent look and a non-porous surface that never needs sealing. Keep quartz away from direct high heat and use trivets for hot pans.
How much do granite and quartz countertops cost?
Price depends on the material and color, the square footage, the edge profile and the number of cutouts. Most kitchens fall between 30 and 60 square feet. Use the countertop builder above to find your square footage, then request a free estimate for an exact price.
How long does it take to get new countertops?
It is typically about two weeks from templating to installation, depending on material availability. Installation itself usually takes one day.
When should I schedule countertop templating?
Schedule templating after your base cabinets are installed, level and secured. Have your sink, faucet and cooktop on site or their specs in hand, since cutouts are made from them.
Do granite and quartz countertops need to be sealed?
Granite and quartzite should be resealed every one to two years. Quartz is non-porous and never needs sealing.
Do you do bathroom vanities and small projects?
Yes. We make vanity tops, bar tops, window sills and shower ledges, and smaller pieces can often be cut from remnants to save money.
Can you remove my old countertops?
Yes. Mention it on the estimate form and tear-out and disposal can be added to your quote.
