Searching for cheap granite countertops Houston homeowners actually rave about can feel like looking for a needle in a quarry. Low price often signals shortcuts in accuracy, project management, or stone quality—but not with CountBricks. Our AI-driven estimating platform pairs real-time supplier pricing with proven residential construction workflows, giving you a rock-solid path to savings and craftsmanship.
• Durable surface that resists scratches, stains, and Houston’s humidity
• Timeless aesthetic that boosts resale value across diverse architectural styles
• Wide color range from budget-friendly basics to exotic veining
• Greater heat tolerance than quartz or solid surface materials

• Reduce onsite delays by syncing installer schedules with real-time material deliveries

Prices update hourly within CountBricks to reflect local quarry, freight, and fabrication costs.
Seam Count
Every seam demands extra labor and epoxy. Our AI optimizes slab layouts to limit seams without inflating waste.
Edge Profiles
Standard eased edges are included in baseline pricing. Premium ogee or waterfall edges may add $6–$12 per linear foot.
Sink & Cooktop Cutouts
Undermount sinks or custom shapes create added CNC time. CountBricks flags these early so you can discuss alternates with the homeowner.
• Select colors stocked locally; fewer freight miles mean lower slab cost.
• Use 2 cm material with a laminated front edge instead of 3 cm where structural support exists.
• Opt for a 4" granite backsplash instead of full-height stone to cut square footage.
• Keep range and sink centered to avoid intricate corner notches.
• Bundle countertop, backsplash tile, and plumbing hookups in one CountBricks estimate for volume labor discounts.
1. Pre-templating visit to verify cabinet level within 1/8".
2. Slab cutting at a CountBricks-certified fabrication shop.
3. Delivery in padded A-frames, usually 7–10 business days after template approval.
4. Onsite install completed in 4–6 hours for an average 50 sq. ft. kitchen.
5. Final walkthrough including sealer application and homeowner care kit.
