Asking these important questions can help you choose the right installer:
How long have you been fabricating and installing quartz countertops?
Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?
Does the estimate include delivery and installation?
Which quartz choices fit my budget?
How much will it cost to upgrade the edge style?
What finishes are available? Do they have an upcharge?
How do I prepare for the installation?
How long will the installation take?
What type of warranty is available?
Do you require a deposit? How much is required?
What kind of payment plans do you offer?
I can&#;t find anyone who will tell me how much a quartzite slab costs. I know there are price &#;levels&#; from 1-7 or so, but the fabricators nor my builder will give me actual $$$ to match the levels. They tell me to pick what I want then they&#;ll price it.
I&#;d rather have a price point in mind before I go to the stone warehouse to look at slabs. The plan currently calls for 4 slabs and several &#;remnants&#; from the fabricator&#;s supply.
Can anyone help me please? I live in Texas if that helps.
