Countertop Installation Cost: What the Installed Price Includes

Yes, we handle installation of the stone we sell, within 100 miles of Alpharetta. The per-square-foot price on our countertop pages is the installed price: templating, fabrication, a standard eased edge and installation are already in it, and $32 of every square foot is labor. Countertops are templated after your cabinets are set and level, fabricated to that template with cutouts for your sink and cooktop, and installed by a crew. Quartz runs $49–72 per sq ft installed, granite from $47.

Outside the radius, cabinets ship anywhere in Georgia. Beyond 100 miles, countertops can ship with your cabinets for a local fabricator to install; our own crew templates and installs within 100 miles of Alpharetta.

Every installed price includes $32 per sq ft of labor: $3 for templating and $29 for fabrication and installation. That labor is never a separate bill, and the edge finish is standard eased unless you choose an upgrade.

How Countertop Installation Goes: Cabinets First, Then Template, Then Stone

Countertop installation runs in five steps, and the stone only goes in after our cabinets are set and level. Natural stone countertops and quartz countertops follow the same steps. Whether you compare granite quartz, marble quartz, quartz quartzite, marble granite or granite marble, only the price per sq ft changes.

  1. Pick the stone and its colors in your free 3D design. It's priced per sq ft of that layout.
  2. Cabinets get installed and leveled. Our crew usually installs a standard 10x10 kitchen of cabinets in 3 to 5 working days, quoted per project.
  3. Template. Have the sink, faucet and cooktop on site, or their spec sheets, because cutouts are custom to the exact model.
  4. Fabrication happens off-site to that template, with cutouts and edge done there.
  5. Installation day. Slabs are set, seams are joined, then the plumber reconnects the sink.

Can you do it yourself? A granite countertop slab at 3cm is heavy and every cutout is made to your exact sink and cooktop. It's a crew job. Your dedicated personal manager is your customer service contact on the project.

What customers need ready before template day:

  • Cabinets set and level.
  • Sink, faucet and cooktop on site.
  • Old countertops: Removal of the old countertop is included in our installation price.
  • A clear path for the slabs.

Want to see one finished? Our Alpharetta light gray kitchen is a small L-shaped room in shaker style with white quartz, brass pulls and a plain subway backsplash. More projects are in the gallery.

Countertops are fabricated and installed within 100 miles of Alpharetta: Roswell, Milton, Johns Creek, Cumming, Sandy Springs, Marietta, Duluth and Atlanta GA. Kitchen and bathroom jobs follow the same rule, kitchen countertops and vanity tops alike. Past the radius we don't set stone; cabinets ship anywhere in Georgia.

Countertop installation questions

What is the cheapest countertop to install?
The cheapest stones on our list are granite at $47 to $48 per sq ft: Dallas White at $47, Crystal White, Valle Nevado and White Shore at $48. Entry quartz starts at $49 with Sparkling White and White Linen. We don't carry laminate. See the white granite page.
How long after countertops are installed can you use them?
The adhesive at the seams and under an undermount sink has to set before the plumber reconnects the sink, and heavy use waits until it cures. Light use comes first, heavy use after the cure.
