Whether you are refreshing a bungalow in Pasadena or building a hillside contemporary in Malibu, the first design dream often lands on an elegant marble island. The second thought? Budget. “How much are marble countertops?” is the question our CountBricks advisors answer every day. Because our AI pulls live supplier pricing, labor rates, and logistics data the moment you speak with us, we can give a figure accurate down to the penny—no more guessing or outdated price sheets.
• Entry-level Carrara and similar stones: $80–$120 per square foot installed
• Mid-grade Calacatta Oro, Arabescato: $120–$180 per square foot installed
• Premium exotic slabs like Breccia Capraia: $180–$260+ per square foot installed
The same square footage can vary by 200 % simply because of veining rarity or quarry distance. CountBricks updates quarry-to-dock freight surcharges every morning so you always see real numbers.
• Standard 2 cm with eased edge: baseline cost shown above
• Upgraded 3 cm thickness: add $10–$15 per square foot
• Waterfall mitered edges or ogee detailing: add $25–$40 per linear foot
CountBricks visualizes each edge in AR so you can weigh cost versus aesthetics on the spot.
• Straight runs under 8 ft: minimal waste, lower spend
• L-shapes and large islands: 8–15 % material overage for pattern matching
• Curves, radius bars, integrated drainboards: 20 %+ fabrication premium
Our voice-guided room scan calculates overage automatically and flags savings opportunities such as shifting a seam location.
• Second-story installs without freight elevator add labor hours
• Reinforcing older cabinetry may add framing carpentry charges
• Travel outside metro core introduces mileage rates
Because CountBricks syncs your address with current crew schedules, the software shows the exact labor multiplier for your zip code rather than a statewide average.
Based on 427 CountBricks residential projects completed in the last 12 months:

• Luxury chef’s kitchen (85 sq ft plus waterfall ends): $14,500–$20,500
These ranges include templating, fabrication, delivery, installation, cut-outs for sink & cooktop, and old countertop haul-away—exactly how CountBricks quotes every job.

Simply walk through your kitchen while speaking to our mobile app. CountBricks records your measurements, detects cabinetry outlines, and returns an estimate for how much marble countertops cost in under five minutes.
Our AI connects to regional stone yards in real time. If Carrara prices drop this morning, your estimate reflects it this afternoon. No manual refresh needed.
Upload PDFs or scan existing plans. The software converts dimensions into square footage, applies edging preferences, and outputs a fabrication-ready cut list.

• Pair a premium island slab with complimentary lower-cost perimeter stone for balanced luxury and savings
• Use book-matched porcelain for backsplash instead of additional marble to cut 20 % of material cost while preserving visual impact
• Schedule installation during off-peak winter months; local freight discounts have saved CountBricks clients up to $4 per square foot

When the Hernandez family purchased their 1922 Craftsman, the original tile counters were stained and uneven. They asked, “How much are marble countertops if we keep the historic footprint?” Using the CountBricks voice scan, we captured their U-shaped layout—47 square feet—plus a 12-inch overhang for bar seating.
• Carrara pricing that week had dipped 6 % due to a new shipment at a local yard
• Cabinet reinforcement would be minimal because existing framing was redwood—stronger than modern pine boxes
• A straight polished edge matched the period style while saving $680 over an ogee profile
• Material and fabrication: $5,410
• Installation and haul-away: $1,320
• Total project cost: $6,730—within 1.8 % of the first CountBricks estimate generated in under ten minutes
The Hernandez family signed the digital contract the same day. CountBricks scheduled installation for the following Thursday, coordinated sink delivery, and provided a 3D rendering of the slab veining across seams. The kitchen was completed in a single afternoon, and the homeowners hosted a house-warming dinner that weekend.
• Fast data wins: Locking in slab pricing the moment the yard markdown posted saved nearly $400.
• Edge profiles matter: Historical authenticity can align with cost efficiency.
• AI reduces stress: Knowing the budget to within 2 % before spending a dime on materials kept the project moving and eliminated last-minute compromises.
