re: Granite/Quartz Cost

It all depends on what you pick. 2cm, 3cm, what kind of edge, and what stone you actually select. You can get granite sold by the sf at a low cost (it will be a speckled granite) or you can get a granite that's sold by the slab. The more movement in it the higher the price.

Quartz is a man made product that is smaller slabs than granite. So you will potentially need more slabs to get your project done. Also quartz pricing jumped up high when tarrifs were announced. I believe they may be coming back down as some are now being sourced from other countries, but it's still higher than it used to be.

And make sure you're talking about quartz and not quartzite. Quartzite is going to be your most expensive option.

But to try and give you a number, if you go with the "builder grade" granite (priced by the sf) you should budget about $35-40/sf. If you go higher grade or even quartz, budget $65/sf.

Another option is to find remnants at different fabricators to cover your smaller vanities and laundry counters. They will just be a set price like 500 bucks or something.
