Free Granite Countertop Estimate: How It Works

Want a free granite countertop estimate with no pressure and no guesswork? Affordable Stoneworks measures your space for free and sends a written, itemized quote. We also quote quartz, marble and quartzite. Here is exactly how it works.

What your free granite countertop estimate includes

• An in-home measure with laser templating
• Help choosing your material, color and edge
• Sink, cooktop and backsplash options explained
• A written quote that lists slab, fabrication, edges, cutouts, install and removal
• A clear timeline, usually about one week from template to install

Best of all, there is no obligation. In other words, you can compare our quote with anyone. In fact, many customers do, and that is fine with us.

How to request your free granite countertop estimate

Getting started is quick, since it takes about two minutes. First, fill out the short form on our free estimate page. Alternatively, call (888) 745-3628 or use the chat in the corner of this page.

Then a real person replies, usually the same business day. Next, we book your measure at a time that suits you. After that, you get your written quote.

What to have ready

• Rough measurements or a simple sketch
• Photos of the room and current counters
• Whether cabinets are installed, new or on order
• Sink and cooktop models, if you know them
• Colors or styles you like

What happens after the estimate?

1. Review your quote

   First, read the itemized quote and ask any questions.

2. Pick your slab

   Next, choose the exact slab for your space.

3. Fabrication

   Then we cut and polish it in our own shop.

4. Installation

   Finally, most kitchens are installed in one day.

How much will my granite countertops cost?

Installed granite with us typically starts around $45 per square foot. Meanwhile, quartz typically starts around $55. However, your price depends on the slab, edge, cutouts and layout.

That is exactly why the free granite countertop estimate matters. It turns rough numbers into a firm, written price. For more detail, see our granite countertop cost guide.

Tips for comparing countertop quotes

Not all quotes are equal. For example, one shop may leave out the sink cutout or the removal of old tops. So always compare line by line. Otherwise, a low number can turn into a high bill later.

• Make sure each quote covers the same square footage
• Check that edges, cutouts and backsplash are included
• Ask who does the fabrication and the install
• Confirm the timeline in writing
• Verify the contractor’s license

You can check any California contractor with the California Contractors State License Board. In addition, the FTC tips on hiring a contractor offers helpful advice on written estimates.

Why the free granite countertop estimate costs nothing

Some companies charge for a measure. We do not, and the reason is simple. A free visit lets us see your space, answer questions and give you a real price. As a result, you decide with facts, not guesses.

Plus, an in-person visit catches details that photos miss. For example, we check cabinet level, wall angles and sink placement. Ultimately, those details shape the final price and the final fit.

Do I need to be home? Ideally, yes. That way, we can talk through options together.

Will you pressure me to sign? No. Instead, you get a written quote, and you take your time.
