Where did you get that quote from? I am looking for a good granite place for our new home. We are in Cenla so our options are limited around here.

My countertops are labradorite.

not sure if anyone has mentioned but there are a lot more options/styles with quartz than with granite.
i just finished a remodel and went with a quartz that looked like marble.
edit- i also love the butcher/boos block idea, but only for an island (like pictured on the previous page). not really a fan of having it for the whole kitchen.

I went with Calacatta marble. Wanted to be slightly different

Ray Nagin never took anything for granite -- at least that's what he claimed at his criminal trial.

What is the overall style of your house? Typical new 'French country' style homes in my area (Lafayette-ish) are well suited to granite or quartzite. Quartz fits well in more modern style homes, or as an easier-to-care-for substitute for marble in traditional homes. We installed soapstone in our farmhouse.

If you like to cook, stainless steel with a built-in 1.5" cutting board to rt of cook top and a bar sink right of the board, with garbage disposal.

If you like the look of marble definitely go with quartzite instead. Marble is really to soft and porous for a kitchen application.

Craftsman style.

Just don't get marble like the people who built my house used....etches/stains easily.

We did soapstone 4 years ago and still love it. Best surface if you are a cook and use the area for prep. Can put hot pans directly on them. The maintenance is easy as well.
But for color variations granite is a great product.

I really like soapstone, too. Not sure I'm willing to drop the $ on them, though.

Been shopping for close to a year in Lafayette. I hate the new homes here with a passion. Looked at 9 houses last weekend, pretty sure they were all the same. :/

amc granite and countertop(baton rouge)

$20/sqft installed is just for 3 low end granites that are similar just different colors
He measured and worked up final quote for 44 sq ft installed with 6 inch back-splash(my spec) and an 18 gauge under mount sink for $1,300. I think that comes to $29 sq/ft, but that's because of the sink and edging/polish for the sink and the extra cut polish for my 2x4 raised island/breakfast bar.
Even though the price is decent, I'm considering going the $35 route(even though it's a rental) for Galaxy white, I think it's worth the extra $700

As others have said, I wouldn't put marble in the kitchen.

Technically it's not real granite
