Countertop Installation Cost in Metro Detroit (2026)
Installed countertops in Metro Detroit generally run $40 to $120 per square foot, all-in with material, fabrication, and installation. Where you land depends mostly on the material you choose, then on edge profile, cutouts, and how much old counter has to come out. Here is how the pricing actually works.
What drives the price
Material is the dominant factor by far. Laminate and entry solid surface sit at the bottom; mid-grade quartz and granite occupy the broad middle; premium quartz, exotic granite, and marble push the top. After material, the edge profile matters — a simple eased edge is included, while mitered, waterfall, or ornate profiles add fabrication time. Sink and cooktop cutouts, the number and difficulty of seams, and removing and disposing of the old tops round out the number. A big island or a waterfall edge adds material and labor quickly.
Typical ranges by material
- Laminate: $15–$40 / sq ft installed
- Solid surface (e.g. Corian): $40–$80 / sq ft installed
- Quartz: $55–$100 / sq ft installed
- Granite: $50–$110 / sq ft installed
- Marble / premium stone: $80–$150+ / sq ft installed
Tear-out and disposal of old counters typically adds a modest per-foot or flat fee.
How to keep the quote honest
Insist the quote names the material and the specific slab or color group, the edge profile, the number of cutouts, and whether tear-out and disposal are included. A bare per-square-foot number with no scope is where surprise charges hide — an upgraded edge or a second seam can move the total. Ask whether the price is for the slab grade you actually selected, since stone is priced in tiers. When we match you with a fabricator, you get an itemized quote you can compare like for like.
