Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a new kitchen countertop cost in Ames?

A full kitchen countertop project typically runs $1,850 to $4,500 or more depending on material and size — laminate at $42-64/sq ft, granite at $120-169/sq ft, quartz at $120-157/sq ft. We confirm final pricing with a written quote after the on-site estimate.

Granite or quartz — which is better?

Quartz never needs sealing and resists staining better since it's non-porous, which is why it's become popular for rental properties. Granite offers more natural pattern variation since every slab is unique. Both are similarly priced in our area.

How long does installation take?

A standard kitchen countertop installation typically takes a single day once the slab is fabricated, though the full process from template to install usually spans 1 to 3 weeks depending on material lead time.

What areas do you serve around Ames?

Ames, Nevada, Huxley, Gilbert, Story City, and the rest of Story County, IA.

Do you remove my old countertop?

Yes, old countertop removal and disposal is included in every full replacement job, along with a check of the cabinet condition underneath before the new material goes in.

Do outdoor kitchen countertops need different material than indoor ones?

Yes — outdoor counters need weather-rated granite or a specific outdoor-rated quartz line to handle Iowa's freeze-thaw cycles and UV exposure. A standard indoor-rated slab can crack from trapped moisture freezing.
