Re: NWR: Granite countertops
granite is definitely expensive but really worth it. we have it in our kitchen and i wouldn't have it any other way it's a really great investment and it adds to the value of the home. i would bite the bullet and go for it

Re: NWR: Granite countertops
granite should not be that expensive
its about 50-75 a sqft
you can install it yourself..its really easy
that will save you $1000 or more right there
we were going to do granite..but e ultimately decided on concrete..im obsessed..

Re: NWR: Granite countertops
We had Home Depot come last week to measure but we don't know yet how much it would be b/c we didn't pick one yet. However, I have heard from a few different people NOT to do it through them. FH and I are big fans of the small, local places anyway, so once we have some wedding $$$ we'll probably do it. Our current countertops are gross!!!

I have granite counter tops but I heard granite tiles are less expensive so maybe you can check into that. My neighbor has granite tiles on her counter top. it looks really nice.

We just got a new kitchen and got granite for not that much at all. I don't have my papers with me but I got it from a place in westbury. FM me if you'd like their info.

Re: NWR: Granite countertops
I want to do this in my kitchen because not only does it look nice but it adds value to your home. I am afraid of how much its going to cost though. I dont think it should be too much since we dont have a ton of counter space but I dont know. There is so much I want to do in this new house its crazy

I hear that! As soon as we redo one thing, we want to do something else right after that. Our nxt big project I think will be our master bathroom... we want to look into Bath Fitter. Anyone do this? It's where they come and install a new shower/tub right over your old one in the same day.

Re: NWR: Granite countertops
It depends on the price per linear foot. 39.95 per LF is a great price 45 is the average. So measure your counters and see..
