| The first price I got for Taj Mahal was $79.50 s.f and the 2nd price was $124 s.f installed. Assuming the second one is charging 79.50 like the first one that means it would be $44.50 s.f. for installation. Does that sound about right? |

| No. unless there are exceptional difficulties associated with the install like long distance, union requirements, stairs or a downtown address normal residential install should be roughly 10-$12 per sq. ft. |

| I would ask the first company what that price includes. It may not include fabrication, or finished edges, or who knows what. Or they may have just got a better deal when they bought the slabs so their price to you is better. I had quotes that were both "installed" and separated into stone cost and assorted fabrication costs. |

| I went ahead and sent the first guy an email asking to set up a time for him to come out and measure since I haven't had anyone out to do that yet. I'll see how his final price compares to the other guy's. |

| sometimes they add in: sealant fee, template fee, special handling delivery fee, percent fees if you pay with credit card, etc....each place is different. I found that some places advertise low prices over the web, email or phone but once you are there and tell them which slab you like they start adding "fees". |

| Maybe the best thing to do is have both of them come out and give me a total price. |

| Some fabricators are realizing how much more difficult it is to cut quartzite and are charging more as a result. My fabricator went through 3 diamond blades cutting my quartzite. He was not too happy. |

| Well, guy #1 ($79.50) is coming Tuesday. What questions do I need to ask? I've never had a granite countertop installed before. I do want to know where the seams will be, but what else? |

| Guy #1 came yesterday and his price ended up being $91.50 s.f. installed, which is much cheaper than guy #2. Makes me wonder if guy #2 wasn't interested in the job for some reason. I don't know why else there would be such a difference in price, $91.50 vs $124. |

Is this for 3 cm or 2 cm slabs? I'm pricing as well and wondering how much more expensive it would be for the 2cm w/ bonded edge (if possibe)
or single 3 cm slab. If it is that much harder to cut quartzite, the fabrication for the 2 cm would be very expensive. Any thoughts? |
