Granite Countertops Cost
As a direct kitchen showroom of natural stone we're able to provide builders, distributors and homeowners with remarkably low prices on granite countertops.

Granite is sold both in tiles and slabs, and is frequently used not only for kitchen countertops, bar tops, and vanities, but also for walls, floors, fireplace surrounds, windowsills, and even building fascade. With hundreds of options for countertops and kitchen surfaces, it's best to narrow the scope by deciding how long the counter should last, how durable it will be, how difficult to install, and how costly. Dealers price stone countertops based on linear or square footage, template, fabrication, delivery, and countertops installation. Prices vary depending on texture, color, pattern, intricacy of edging, number of holes, sink type and seams. Adding granite countertops to your home is one of the smartest upgrades you can add to your home. Granite is extremely low maintenance, and each stone has its own mineral make up that creates beautiful colors and patterns. Granite is sold in slabs to insure the grain and color of all of your countertop surfaces match, but your cost is calculated by the square foot area of your countertop. The cost of granite varies according to color and pattern chosen.

For this reason, we recommend that you take the time to select the slab intended for you countertops. We will escort you through the granite slab warehouse where you can choose the best granite slab for your countertops. The price includes making field measurements and templates, cutting, polishing, delivery, and final installation. The total material required is determined by the layout and the amount of waste. We lay out each job so as to minimize waste yet maximize the natural beauty of the veining and pattern. You can also learn how to calculate the amount of granite needed to complete your granite countertops and get a granite countertop cost estimate. Choose from over 70 granite colors and styles of granite from our granite gallery or walk through the warehouse and choose from hundreds of granite slabs in colors like Labrador Antique, Blue Eyes, Blue Bahia, Azul Macubas, Juparana Fantastico, Aurora, Labradorite Green, and Galactica Blue and many others.

Granite countertops are very popular these days due to their beauty and durability. On the other hand, granite adds significant expense to a kitchen remodeling project.

Unless you can install a granite countertop yourself, you need to hire professional granite contractors to do the installation for you. Our granite fabricators are thoroughly familiar with characteristics of various granites and posses professional expertise in countertop design, templating, and countertop installation.

Marble Mantels not only provides the best in state-of-the-art granite fabrication using C.N.C. technology, but also ensures the highest quality of counter top templating using laser technology. Our stone milling C.N.C. machines allow for perfect granite counter top sink cut-outs and edge profiles. We use laser technology to custom template your countertops. By using CNC machines, we save time and resources, while keeping the highest standards of quality. Computerized quality control makes a chance of mistake close to zero. Increased precision and accuracy reduces the amount of wasted material. Why are these machines so important? Without them, all of the fabrication would have to be done by hand. It's a slow and tedious process, which requires more labor. The cost of hand fabrication is much higher because more people and time are needed to complete the job. Most fabricators do "dry-cutting" to save time - they do not use water to polish the stone. Not using water results in a low quality finish on the edges of the stone. The edges look dull and once you swipe your hand along the edge, you will feel bumps and unevenness. With CNC technology, these problems are gone. Our machinery always uses water, and since it is controlled by a computer, it follows the line of the edge perfectly, keeping constant pressure on the stone. That guarantees smooth, shiny edges without the bumps.

At the time of template, the countertops should be cleared off and the customer should be on-site to review any corners with a radius, seam locations, overhangs, and any other issues, which commonly arise.

We ask that all sink, cook top, color, and edge selections be made before or shortly after template. Any changes to the tops after template must be submitted and approved in writing. These changes may incur additional expenses and may delay installation.

After template, your now digitized tops are drafted in an computer CAD program with your sink and cook top selections. These drawings are then printed off onto a plastic template material which will be used when cutting out your tops. Although granite is very durable when it's installed properly, it's not un-breakable.

It can be chipped or cracked if it's struck a sharp blow by a heavy object. It can also break if it's dropped during installation. It is not flexible, and will crack if it is forced to twist or bend. Therefore, granite should only be handled by professionals and must always be adequately supported by proper framing or cabinetry.
