Few upgrades transform a kitchen faster than marble. The stone’s cool veining and timeless elegance instantly elevate any Fort Worth home. Yet before you order a slab, you need reliable numbers. This guide breaks down every factor affecting the cost to install marble countertops and shows how CountBricks turns guesswork into guaranteed pricing.
• Material grade and slab size – Premium Calacatta commands a higher price per square foot than Carrara, and larger islands often require book-matched slabs.
• Edge profiles – A simple eased edge is faster to fabricate than an ogee or waterfall, trimming both labor and waste.
• Sink, cooktop and fixture cut-outs – Each precision cut adds shop time and onsite fitting.
• Demolition and disposal – Removing existing laminate or tile can add 2-4 labor hours and disposal fees.
• Installation complexity – Second-floor installs, tight stairwells or integrated backsplashes raise handling costs.
Most CountBricks homeowners see total installed costs land between $85 and $150 per square foot. Small galley kitchens using standard marble run closer to $3,800, while expansive chef’s spaces with premium slabs can exceed $12,000. Exact numbers depend on the variables above.
• Reinforcing older cabinetry to carry marble’s weight
• Temporary sink hookups while stone cures
• Upgraded support brackets for extended overhangs
• Dust containment and final cleaning after demolition
Traditional countertop estimates rely on tape measures, scribbled notes and manual spreadsheets. CountBricks replaces that friction with AI precision:
• Real-time voice capture – During a three-minute call, you describe your kitchen, preferred marble and finish details. Our system converts the conversation into structured scope items.
• Instant blueprint takeoffs – Upload existing plans or snap photos. CountBricks maps dimensions automatically, no manual tracing required.
• Live materials database – The platform checks current slab pricing from local Fort Worth suppliers and applies real-time labor rates.
• Auto-generated estimate and invoice – You receive a line-item proposal, complete with material, labor, tax and waste factors. Change a detail and the price refreshes instantly.
