View Kitchen Countertop Fabrication template →Quartz countertops run $55–$90/sq ft installed. A typical kitchen with 30 sq ft of counter space costs $1,650–$2,700. Premium brands (Silestone, Caesarstone) and complex edge profiles push prices higher.
Quartz is engineered (more consistent, non-porous, no sealing required). Granite is natural stone (each slab is unique, requires annual sealing). Quartz is easier to maintain; granite edges out in heat resistance and natural aesthetics.
Templating takes 1–2 hours. Fabrication takes 1–2 weeks after template approval. Installation takes 2–4 hours for a standard kitchen. Plan for 2–3 weeks from template to installed counters.
