Starting prices · Charlotte, NC
Looking for countertop prices Charlotte NC? Four stone tiers, one price per square foot installed, and a clear list of what that price covers. Use the examples below to estimate your project before you call.
Countertop prices in Charlotte, NC at Cornerstone Countertops & Cabinetry start at $29.95 per square foot installed for Classic Granite, $58.95 for Semi-Exotic and $119.95 for Super Exotic; Semi-Precious stones are priced on request.

Price tiers
Price follows the slab, not the material name. Every slab in our yard belongs to one of four tiers, and we tell you the tier of each slab you like before you decide.
Per square foot of finished countertop, installed. Starting prices: your quote names the slab and its exact price.
Our entry tier. Durable natural stone for kitchens, rentals and anyone pricing granite countertops in Charlotte.
Slabs with more movement or less common colors, where the pattern starts to drive the design.
Rare slabs with dramatic veining, often chosen for an island or a single feature wall.
Agate and other semi-precious surfaces for statement pieces. Each slab is priced individually, so call us for pricing.
Measure first
Price is per square foot, so the first number to know is your own square footage. These three examples show how to measure; your quote turns it into an exact price.
Measure each run in inches, multiply length by depth, and divide by 144. Add the pieces together, and round up a little for overhangs.
A 10-foot run at a typical 25.5-inch depth: 120 × 25.5 ÷ 144 = about 21.25 sq ft.
An 8 by 4-foot island top: 96 × 48 ÷ 144 = 32 sq ft, including the seating overhang.
Stone up the wall is measured the same way and added to the total square footage.
Most gaps come from what is left out, not from the stone. One quote may skip the sink cutout, the edge polish or the old top's removal. Our guide on how to compare countertop quotes line by line lists every line to check, and countertop cost per square foot explains what moves the price up or down.
Your estimate
The starting price covers everything needed to turn a slab into an installed countertop. Choices beyond that are priced as separate lines.
Payment and warranty
Countertops are paid in two equal parts: 50% when you approve the quote and 50% when installation is complete. You never pay the full amount upfront.
Every job carries our 1-year warranty on fabrication and installation. Quartz also has a limited 15-year warranty after installation. To see each stage from deposit to final payment, read how our process works.
We are fully insured, rated 4.9 on Google and named Gold for Best Countertop Store and Best Cabinet Store in Charlotte's Best 2024 and 2025.
By project
The tier prices apply to every service, but each project has its own cost drivers. Start from the one that matches yours.
Square footage, seams and the island drive the total. Sink installation is already included.
Price new kitchen countertopsSmall areas, where a remnant can lower the price. Sink cutouts and faucet holes set the work.
