Concrete Countertop PricingFind a Countertop Manufacturer/Designer!
Concrete countertops are a custom crafted material for high end use (see "How Concrete Countertops are Made") and are often specified by designers or architects. Prices to Manufacture Concrete Countertops Standard 1.5" thick concrete countertops range from $65 to $135 per square foot. Often the cost of installation is not included in this price range. Concrete countertops are handcrafted and are typically priced at a premium to granite, marble, and other natural stones. The true cost of the countertop is not in the concrete itself, but rather in the artisan's creativity and time for creating special details, unique designs, transportation, and installation. These items add to the cost:
Large orders sometimes reduce the cost. Some countertop contractors only quote on a per job basis. Soupcan Inc. requires a dimensioned plan view indicating all backsplashes (if any), sink cutouts, and any other cutouts. ConcreteNetwork.com Consumers, in some cases think of concrete as being a cheaper alternative to other available countertop surfaces. Concrete countertops should be sold (or bought) based on being a beautiful, custom, handmade, relatively unique product. Customers going in thinking the countertops will be low budget items will quickly find out otherwise. The price of the concrete countertop is composed of the countertop construction, shipping (if required), and installation. Shipping Costs Countertop contractors in almost all cases install their own product in their market area. So there would be no shipping expense. Shipping method and carrier, for those firms that do ship, varies by contractor. Discuss this with the contractor. Installation Costs Installation, when done by the countertop contractors, runs in the $40-$50 per hour, per person, range. Other installations, such as when the countertop has been shipped, should be done by a contractor experienced in installing countertops. Rates for this would vary by region of the country. The countertops arrive to the site in a completed state and there should be no modifications required. Most of the concrete countertop contractors provide detailed installation instructions. Request these instructions and make sure your installer understands the installation instructions prior to the countertops arriving on the jobsite. These are custom, one of a kind products.
