Countertops

Utah Countertops cost. These surfaces define the look and function of your kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry areas. Quartz is king in Utah homes.

What’s Included

Includes template, fabrication, delivery, and installation of solid-surface countertops. Most bids include quartz, granite, or similar engineered stone. Scope typically includes kitchen counters, island, bath vanities, laundry tops, and window ledges (if noted). Excludes cabinetry, plumbing fixtures, and waterfall edge panels unless specified. Undermount sink cutouts and faucet holes are often included.

Notes:

All include 4” backsplash, but highest includes full height slab before stove area

Builder Tips:

Quartz is preferred in Utah due to durability and minimal maintenance — especially in dry climates. Don’t forget backsplash — 4” splash is standard, full-height is an upgrade. Fabrication takes 2–3 weeks after cabinets are set. Plan plumbing trim-out accordingly. Select colors early to avoid delays — white veined quartz is most popular in Utah builds.

Real World Example:

A 4,800 sq ft home with kitchen, large island, 5 bath vanities, and laundry tops:

Mid-tier quartz: $65–$85/sq ft installed
Total linear footage: ~140 sq ft
Total: ~140 × $75 = $10,500 for full countertop package

FAQ

Q: What’s the difference between quartz and granite?

A: Quartz is engineered, non-porous, and more consistent in pattern. Granite is a natural stone and may require sealing.

Q: Is installation included?

A: Yes — bids typically include template, fabrication, and install.

Q: What about sinks and faucets?

A: Most installers do the cutouts for undermount sinks and faucet holes. Plumbers set the fixtures.

Q: Can I do a waterfall edge on my island?

A: Yes — but it’s usually priced separately and adds $1,000–$2,000 depending on slab size.

Q: What edge profiles are standard?

A: Eased, beveled, and bullnose are the most common. More decorative edges cost more.

Q: What’s trending in Utah homes?

A: White quartz with subtle gray veining is the most common in new builds. Bold marble looks and matte finishes are also rising.
