I'm doing some early consumer research to identify price points for
existing countertop materials. I'm starting up a company that will
provide a new category of countertop material that will be more
expensive than plastic laminate, but less than solid surface materials
and stone. In order to make sure that we're pricing well, it will help
to get better information about the installed cost of existing
materials.

Because the cost of installation varies from region to region, the
final cost seems to vary quite dramatically. If you've installed new
countertops recently, I'd really appreciate knowing:

a. what material did you use?
b. what was the final installed cost per square foot?
c. did you buy through a Big Box, or go to a local specialist?
c. which part of the country do you live in?

Thanks very much for your input...this is exactly the kind of early
feedback that will help us produce something special.

free market research,
I will pass on feeding the data base.
