Master Bathroom Granite Countertops

Granite is pretty expensive, and it is pretty tough to find it cheap anywhere. There is a tremendous amount of labor involved, to get that rock out of the earth, transport it multiple times, cut it, polish it, etc. Like anything else, granite slab prices are based on supply and demand. The cheapest granite is the most abundant and least wanted (greys and green-blacks). The most expensive granite is the more rare neutral colors, especially the beiges.

The guy that did my kitchen countertops did not return my phone calls, so I hunted around. First I tried a highly recommended top quality company in my area, Terra Tile. My wife and I looked at their slabs and picked a New Venetian Gold, their estimate was $2500 for around 35 square feet of granite, backsplashes, 2 oval 17x14 sinks, the 2 sink and faucet cutouts, separate makeup table, all with an ogee edge, delivered/installed with tax. Then I tried other companies like marble.com, plus some granite ads I saw on craigslist. The cheapest I could find was $1920, a company called Innovate Stones, aka tsstone. They also have an eBay store as well as a bricks and mortar store.

These guys were awesome. I talked to a guy named Dante on a Friday, and got my price quote the same day. Dante was a really nice guy and easy to work with. I went down to his slabyard on Monday, picked what I wanted, they fabricated it immediately and installed it on Thursday.

I love the granite, it is a Santa Cecelia dark. We wanted something tan/brown/black/white, not grey. We made a mistake with our kitchen countertops (also a Santa Cecelia), they are white/grey/tan/brown/black also, but the overriding color is greyish. This granite is much nicer, just the color we were looking for.

If you are in the New York metro area, I would definitely recommend them.
