What Actually Drives Countertop Cost Up or Down in Story County

Material is the biggest cost driver — laminate at $42-64/sq ft versus stone at $120+ — but edge profile (a simple straight edge costs less than an ogee or bullnose), seam count on longer runs, and custom cutouts for sinks or cooktops all add to labor time. Our free on-site estimate breaks down each of these rather than quoting a flat per-square-foot number.
