| this is for our island and this price includes a bullnose edge. How is this price compared to your experiences? |

| Seems on the high side. If this were not an island, you can get a prefab white carrara, bullnosed marble countertop for $346 for material. The only cost is installation since there are no cutouts. |

| What edging? Although if it is similar to doing granite, I've gotten bids from $33/sq foot fab AND installed to $45/sq ft fab and installed. These prices do NOT include the stone itself. So at $78/sq foot for JUST fabricating it and not the material or install, I'd say that is along the lines of outrageous. But maybe there is something with the fab of marble that is different from granite? |

| Could it be the sealant costing so much money? |

| I had a quote for 25 sq. ft. soapstone for $1,294 - pencil edge, no cutouts. I think cutouts were $150. Included installation. |
|
| Here is a dupont stone sealer. Cost: 1qt costs $10.99 and covers 115 sq ft |

| Does this include the marble, or is this JUST for cutting and installing? Ours was 42 sq feet (2 pieces - 25 feet and 18 feet) with ogee edge, no cutouts. It was close to $5k total - stone, fabricating, installing and sealing. |

| Just got a quote that is the stone, honing, edge cutting, sealing and installing 34 sq ft with no cut outs for $3240. Is this high? |
|
| What type of marble is it? $95/sqft in my neck of the woods for the stone and install is somewhere between a Venatino and Calacatta Gold. Ours is Carrara that was already honed and came in about $63/sqft installed and sealed. If your fabricator has to hone the stone himself I can see it being what he has quoted. Good luck! |

| We paid $85/sq. ft. for material + fabrication of statutory marble for the perimeter cabinets of our kitchen. This was part of a full-house job though w/ granite in 9 rooms so we got a bit of a discount I think (not a builder's discount since we sourced this ourselves). For our 13 ft. long island, however, we paid a little over $5000 just for fabrication, not including the price of the stone. However, these were seam experts that came from 2+ hrs away and it was an exotic stone that no one wanted to touch and they spent hrs. creating an invisible seam. So, it depends what you are getting. |

| i paid $2425 for a slab of marble to be cut into three pieces for 3 countertop areas, honed, miter laminated seam, templating, farm sink cutout and 2 holes drilled for faucet, including installation. SF Bay Area pricing. with cost of slab came in at upper 90 per SF if i recall correctly. |
|
| I paid $7700 for three slabs, one island slab with a double ogee edge, and perimeters with an eased edge. The island is almost 9x5. The perimeters are 16x2, 16x2 and 8x2. I paid separately for "permanent" sealer. This is on a Danby marble. The double ogee cost almost 900. |
|
| I think that's relatively inexpensive for marble in the Philadelphia area (so long as it's not a more basic marble like carrara). Here, they charge $200-225 per square foot for calacatta gold (the best I could get for a remnant even was $175 per square foot). And most charge $10 per square foot to hone if it's not already honed. |

| I think it all depends on what type of marble. Calcutta Gold around here is 150 or so a square foot. Carrera is a third of that . . . |

| I have just started getting quotes on marble counters (we have 67 sq ft and wanted a squared or eased edge). I am finding huge variation in price depending on what kind of marble. The first place I went to gave me a flat 'marble estimate' at approx $119 per sq ft. The guy giving me the quote didnt seem to be very knowledgeable about marble. The second place I went to gave me quotes of approx $67 to $85 per sq ft for carrara and $157 per sq ft for calacatta gold. I went to a stoneyard the other day and fell in love with some slabs of honed eureka danby marble (white with gray and caramel streaks, kind of like calacatta gold). The stoneyard wont give exact prices but mark stuff A to Z, with Z being most expensive. Of course the marble I liked best was a V, so I'm not looking forward to the price quote from the fabricator on Monday. |

| Eureka is higher priced that Montclair Danby, but it should be a lot less than Calacatta. I know there is a significant difference in prices between fabricators depending on what they perceive demand to be. My Montclair Danby was less than 1/2 the price of Calacatta at one fabricator. My friend got a quote close to calacatta at another. Shop around. |
