Granite remains a top choice for Boston-area homeowners because it delivers natural beauty, resilience, and resale value. Yet “What is the cost of granite countertops installed?” is still the first question our CountBricks team hears during a kitchen remodel consultation. This in-depth guide unpacks every price factor, explains how CountBricks AI produces lightning-fast estimates, and offers pro tips to keep your residential project on budget.
Online price charts often quote a national range of $45–$120 per square foot installed. While useful for ballpark comparison, they ignore dozens of variables our AI captures in seconds:
• Slab grade and rarity
• Countertop layout complexity
• Edge profile selection
• Demolition and disposal of old surfaces
• Regional labor rates and crew availability
• Supply-chain fluctuations for adhesives, sealers, and fasteners
Our platform listens to your live site walk-through or video call, converts speech to structured data, and instantly applies current material catalogs from local Boston suppliers. The result is an itemized figure that reflects today’s market—no outdated averages, no hidden contingencies.
Granite comes in commercial, builder, and premium grades. Exotic hues such as Blue Bahia can cost triple the price of standard Salt & Pepper. Larger islands may require multiple slabs or book-matched seams, raising both material and fabrication costs.
CountBricks catalogs over 25 edge profiles. A simple eased edge adds minimal labor, while an ogee edge increases polishing time by 20-30 %. Cutouts for sinks, cooktops, or pop-up outlets also influence the final invoice.
Second-floor installs, narrow Boston brownstone stairways, or limited on-street parking demand additional crew and equipment. CountBricks AI flags these variables so our estimates automatically include rigging or hoisting allowances where needed.
• Standard granite (Level 1) slabs: $1,200–$1,500
• Fabrication & edging: $900–$1,200
• Delivery & installation: $700–$1,000
• Tear-out & disposal of laminate tops: $300–$500
Estimated total: $3,100–$4,200

Homeowners often compare granite to quartz. On average, quartz runs $10–$15 more per square foot installed because color consistency reduces waste and factories control supply. Granite’s natural variation can either lower cost (common colors) or exceed quartz (rare patterns). CountBricks AI lets you toggle between materials in one click to see the delta instantly.
• Choose common local colors; shipping exotic slabs from overseas adds freight surcharges.
• Opt for a standard bevel or eased edge to minimize fabrication time.
• Keep sink and cooktop cutouts to existing cabinet locations to avoid extra cabinetry mods.
• Schedule installation during a contractor’s off-peak season for potential labor discounts.
• Use CountBricks blueprint takeoffs to verify square footage; even a 5 % measurement error can inflate costs by hundreds.

• For vanities or small peninsulas, ask CountBricks to search remnant slabs. Savings of 25 – 40 % are common on pieces under 15 sq ft.
• Schedule plumbing disconnect, countertop installation, and backsplash tile within the same week. CountBricks’ project calendar helps coordinate trades, trimming duplicate trip charges.
• Standard granite typically fabricates in 7–10 business days once templates are approved. Exotic stones may require 2–3 additional weeks for import and inspection.
• Home equity low? CountBricks partners with local lenders to offer 6- to 24-month zero-interest plans for qualifying projects. Apply directly inside your project dashboard.
• Our crews recycle all cardboard, foam, and wooden packing crates. Old countertops are diverted to aggregate facilities whenever possible, aligning your remodel with sustainable practices.
