The Cost of Installing a Quartz Countertop: A Comprehensive Guide
There are so many factors to consider when upgrading your kitchen or bathroom. How do you get the perfect natural light in the morning? What color should you paint the accent wall? Or perhaps, what kind of stone material will look incredible on your various countertops?
Pricing out the different options available to you is essential so you know you’re getting the most ROI for your money and the aesthetic beauty you’ve always wanted. Here is a quick guide to pricing quartz countertop installation with our professional team at Midwest Marble + Granite + Quartz.
Understanding the Basic Costs
Most of the pricing you’ll uncover for quartz countertop installation in the Kansas City area will range anywhere from $75 to $125 per square foot. That is for the total installation, template (initial model of your custom countertop), materials, labor, and cleanup. Remember, different materials will affect the price, but that is an excellent place to start. Other considerations include:
Quality of the Quartz
Quartz is available in different grades. The higher the grade, the better the material. That also means it will fall on the upper end of the price range due to superior colors, patterns, durability, and longevity.
Supply and Demand
Quartz is a highly in-demand material. However, some colors and patterns will rise above others due to local trends, online viral posts, and a number of other influences. You may want to price out your top 2 to 4 options so you can compare them against in-demand materials.
Removal and Disposal of Old Countertops
In the event you are replacing an older countertop, you always have the option to have our team break it down and safely remove it for disposal. This may add to your total expenses, but will save you a ton of stress and time.
Edge Profile Choice
Edge profiles are incredibly important. You want to match the overall theme and design of your kitchen, but still have the streamlined functionality for a big family meal. Different edges will play a role in the final cost of your quartz countertop installation.
Sink Cut-Out and Installation
Most clients work with quartz countertop installation that has a sink. This involves some careful template work and precision cutting to ensure seamless integration into your countertop setting. The more complex your sink design, the more it may influence your final price point.
Location and Distance from Shop
Finally, there is always the distance your home is from any supplier. We cover the greater Kansas City area, but will occasionally go outside that radius for clients requesting service. Proximity influences fuel costs and travel time and that gets factored into the price.
Wrapping Up
Always take the time to speak with your sales representative well ahead of time when you’re considering a new quartz countertop installation. This will give you plenty of time to budget appropriately and offer different choices so you can get the countertop of your dreams.
