THE SMART QUESTIONS TO BE ASKED BEFORE BUYING GRANITE

WHAT THE ADVERTISEMENT IS NOT TELLING YOU…

Recently, an associate went into a local store to see their most recent pricing for Granite. Outside the store was a slab of granite marked at $48.00 per square foot. Here is what was learned: (AND THIS IS SIMILAR TO WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY ARE LEARNING)

Their Granite Selection:

  • $48-$58 per square ft.
  • Edging $22-$60 per linear ft the Most expensive edge was double ogee.
  • Chisel edge is $45 per linear ft
  • Under-mount sink cut out is $250.00
  • Top mount sink cut out is $100
  • Core drill outs are $20.00 each (faucet and wall receptacles)
  • Normally one month to wait for installation
  • Removal of existing countertop normally included.
  • Wall repairs, touch up, and repaint at owner expense.

Here is what this comes out to…50 sq ft kitchen with 20 linear feet of edge

  • Counter $53x50 = $2,650
  • Edging $45x20 = $ 900 ($18.00 per sq ft)
  • Undermount Sink = $ 250 ($5.00 per sq ft)
  • Cores (2) = $ 40 ($.80 per sq ft)
  • A kitchen would be over $3,800 ($76.00 per sq. ft.) and would have
  • Fragile, hard to maintain, seams, stains, germs, etc
  • Same Granicrete Kitchen: If at $45 per square would be $2,250 (a 40% savings off the price of granite). No stains, seamless, no bacteria, easy to maintain, several times stronger than granite.


Elite Crete… the choice is obvious!
