Other Price Factors
1. Undermount sinks. We do not charge to fabricate standard top-mount sink cut-outs. Undermounts are a different story. They require hours of skilled labor to produce, as the cuts must be perfect and the exposed edges beautifully polished. Core holes for the faucets have to drilled through the granite behind the sink cut. To provide all these services we charge $ 200, usually less for bathroom vanities as they tend to be smaller. Included in this price is setting the sink. Allow 24 hours for it to set up before plumbing.
2. Backsplash. We supply matching 4 inch high backsplash to compliment your granite and to provide a moisture barrier for the wall. This is very cost effective. Ask for a separate quote with your free estimate. Tile backsplash is the usual alternative and generally prices are similar once the costs of tile, thinset, sealant, grout and installation are calculated. If your idea of fun is cleaning grout on a daily basis, then you dont need a granite backsplash.
3. Removal of existing tops. We do not charge to remove old Formica, laminate or Corian tops. Tile tops can be hard to remove. We do charge to remove them and will quote on a case by case basis.
