How Much Do Countertops Cost in Dallas? Real Pricing by Material
Countertop pricing in Dallas depends on three things: the material you choose, the size of your project, and the fabrication complexity involved. This guide breaks down what Dallas homeowners actually pay for countertop fabrication and installation in 2026 — based on our pricing at Galaxy Granite Dallas, not national averages from generic websites that have never fabricated a slab.
We publish our pricing because we believe you deserve real numbers before you walk into a showroom or call for a quote. No competitor in DFW does this, and there’s a reason — transparent pricing eliminates the companies that rely on vague estimates and surprise upcharges.

What Drives the Price Up or Down
Material Type and Rarity
The stone itself is the largest cost factor. Common granites (Santa Cecelia, Dallas White) sit at the low end. Exotic quartzites (Azul Macaubas, Cristallo) and premium marbles (Calacatta Gold) sit at the high end. The rarity of the stone, the quarry it comes from, and the current global supply all affect the per-square-foot price.
Project Size (Square Footage)
Larger projects require more material, more seams, more fabrication time, and more installation coordination. A typical DFW kitchen runs 30-60 square feet of countertop. An island adds 15-25 square feet. A bathroom vanity is 8-20 square feet.
| Project | Typical Square Footage |
|---|---|
| Kitchen perimeter only | 25–40 sq ft |
| Kitchen perimeter + island | 40–65 sq ft |
| Kitchen + backsplash | 50–80 sq ft |
| Single bathroom vanity | 8–15 sq ft |
| Double bathroom vanity | 15–25 sq ft |
| Wet bar / dry bar | 8–15 sq ft |
| Outdoor kitchen section | 15–30 sq ft |
Edge Profile Complexity
A simple eased or beveled edge costs less than a full bullnose, ogee, or mitered waterfall profile. More complex edges require more CNC fabrication time and more skilled finishing.
| Edge Type | Cost Impact |
|---|---|
| Eased / Beveled | Standard — Included in base price |
| Bullnose / Half Bullnose | Moderate additional cost |
| Ogee | Higher additional cost — Decorative detailing |
| Waterfall / Mitered | Highest cost — Requires precise angle joining |
Thickness
3cm (standard for kitchens) costs more than 2cm (common for vanities). Laminated edges that create a “double-thick” appearance add material and fabrication cost.
Cutout Count
Each sink cutout, cooktop cutout, and faucet hole adds fabrication steps. Undermount sink cutouts require additional edge polishing. Most kitchen projects include 1-2 sink cutouts and 0-1 cooktop cutout.
Backsplash
A stone backsplash adds material and installation scope. A full-height backsplash (countertop to upper cabinets) costs more than a standard 4-inch splash.
Old Countertop Removal
If your existing countertops need demolition and disposal, this is included as a line item. Tile countertop removal is more labor-intensive than laminate or solid surface removal.
Plumbing
Standard sink disconnect and reconnect is included. If your project involves plumbing modifications (moving pipes, adding fixtures), additional plumbing work is coordinated with a licensed plumber.

How to Get the Most Value from Your Countertop Budget
Consider remnants for small projects.
A bathroom vanity doesn’t need a full slab. Our remnant inventory has premium stone at reduced pricing — same material quality, smaller pieces starting at $28.95/sq ft.
Choose a common granite color for maximum value.
Exotic slabs are beautiful but expensive. Common granites like Santa Cecelia, Dallas White, and Snowfall deliver real stone at the lowest price point.
Keep edge profiles simple.
An eased or beveled edge costs less than an ogee or waterfall and looks clean in modern kitchens. Save the complex profiles for the island if budget is tight.
Mix materials strategically.
Combine your countertop project with a kitchen or bathroom remodel.
When countertop installation coordinates with other renovation work, plumbing and removal costs are shared rather than duplicated.
Our Commitment to Transparent Pricing
Why Our Pricing Is Transparent
Most countertop companies in Dallas don’t publish pricing. There’s a reason — vague pricing lets them adjust numbers after you’re committed, add charges that weren’t in the original estimate, and avoid direct comparison with competitors.
We publish our starting prices because we believe you should know what you’re walking into before you pick up the phone. Our estimates are itemized — every line item (material, fabrication, edge profile, cutouts, removal, installation) is visible. No surprises at completion.
Financing Available
We offer flexible financing options for qualified homeowners. A kitchen countertop upgrade doesn’t have to wait for the savings account to catch up. Ask about financing during your free consultation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the cheapest countertop material?
Granite remnants start at $28.95/sq ft installed, the lowest entry point for real stone. Full-slab granite starts at the same price for common colors. Quartz starts at $45/sq ft.
Why is quartzite more expensive than granite?
Quartzite is rarer, harder to quarry, and more difficult to fabricate. It requires specific CNC tooling and slower cutting speeds. The material is harder than granite, which means more fabrication time per square foot.
Does the estimate include installation?
Yes. All our pricing includes laser templating, CNC fabrication, edge profiling, delivery, and professional installation. Old countertop removal and plumbing disconnect/reconnect are listed as separate line items when applicable.
How accurate are online countertop estimators?
Online estimators give rough ranges based on national averages. Dallas pricing differs from national averages due to local material availability, labor costs, and supplier relationships. The only accurate number is a quote based on your specific project, material, and layout. Our online estimator gives a starting estimate — your consultation quote is the real number.
Can I save money with a remnant?
Yes, significantly. If your project is under 25 square feet (most vanities, wet bars, small kitchen sections), a remnant from our yard gives you the same stone at a lower price. See our remnant inventory

Yes. Flexible financing options are available for qualified homeowners. Ask during your free consultation.
