Hi,
we are doing a kitchen remodel, and are installing about 56 square feet
of granite countertop. There will be 2 main sections (one of them an L
shape where the sink will go), with a 3rd small slab sitting on top of
a small cabinet next to the range, and a 4th trangular shaped one that
is a couple of feet above the sink. Anyone have estimates of how much
the installation would cost? I was quoted $5400 (including the granite
cost) and i know the granite itself costs about $1900 for 2 slabs
(unfortunately we will need both). does that installation price seem
reasonable?

thanks,
gw.

It depends of where you live & what type of granite. I'm getting 65 sq ft of
Blue Pearl installed for $4000.00, that price includes the 125.00 for the
sink cutout and demolition of old counter. This is in Austin, TX.

Get some more quotes. In the DC area, we're getting granite from a
reputable installer for $60 a square foot. It depends on how scarce
the stone you like is, but the bid you got sounds high to me.
