Common questions
How much do countertops cost?

Quartz for a typical ~20 linear ft kitchen commonly plans around $4,000–$9,500 installed with sink. Laminate is often $1,200–$3,500 installed or $600–$2,200 DIY materials. Enter length and material for a planning band — not a quote.

Quartz or granite?

Quartz is engineered and usually more consistent; granite is natural with unique patterns. Both need pro fabrication. Match grade to neighborhood comps.

Can I DIY countertops?

Laminate yes for experienced DIYers. Quartz and granite are not DIY — heavy slabs and silica dust from cutting require professionals.
