Default cost of granite
was part of a whole kitchen remodel 3-1/2 yrs ago - small kitchen - took only 1 slab of granite - I am recalling $2600 installed. This is for an L-shaped counter with a sink cutout and a small (maybe 5 feet) breakfast bar. About 3 feet of counter on each side of the small sink and an 18 inch piece on the other side of the stove. Also 2 window sills to make it match, but I don't think that was extra.

One of my neighbors in TV got granite almost 1 yr ago - bigger kitchen, both bathrooms, included 3 bathroom sinks and kitchen sink and window sill and I'm thinking she said it was $3400 - but I think business was slow then, sales were down. Am sure they needed more than 1 slab, which I think is what makes most of the price difference, plus the grade/color of granite. We picked one of the reasonable priced ones. A friend of mine who did a similar size kitchen (1 slab) paid more than twice as much to get an unusual color with blue in it.
