Countertop Cost
Another common renovation is installing new countertops. The cost to do so varies widely, depending on the materials used and the total measures required. When choosing a material, it is important to consider not only the look of the countertop but also its level of functionality.
As you would expect, seamless materials, such as granite, are more durable and more costly. In comparison, you can opt for materials that add less value, such as concrete, to keep your costs down. Whether you choose wood, marble, quartz, or limestone, you can expect to pay an average rate between $2,000 and $4,500 to install the countertops of your choosing.
