Solid Surface Countertop Cost

Typical costs:

• Solid surface countertops cost $40-$80 per square foot, dependent on brand name, edging style, color, and finish texture. Solid surface countertops for an average kitchen with 30 square feet of countertop space costs $1,500-$3,000, including professional installation.

• Solid surface countertops are cut and shaped to the specifications of an individual homeowner or contractor by a fabricator. The fabricator should shape the outer edges, and may also include cutting the countertops into pieces that will fit through doorways and into tight spaces in the home.
• Most solid surface countertops come with a 10-year warranty.
• Because installing solid surface countertops is not considered a DIY job, it is usually included in the price of the countertop. Installation of a solid surface countertop should include a professional pre-installation measurement, preparation of the counters (including leveling and shimming), installation of the countertop, cleanup, and final inspection.

• Solid resin backsplashes are sold by the square foot, usually at the same per-square-foot price as the countertop. The fabricator can attach the backsplash to the counter seamlessly.
• Some edge shaping, such as bullnose, costs extra; from $12-$17 per linear foot.

• Before beginning to price solid surface countertops, measure the countertop area. Home Depot provides a worksheet^[1] to help calculate the measurements. The installer or contractor will do an official measurement later, but a good estimate can give a rough sense of the costs.
• To save time, explore the color palates of various solid surface countertop manufacturers online. Check the websites of manufacturers such as Corian^[2] , Wilsonart^[3] or Staron and note color families, textures, and other favored features to bring to the store. BobVila.com^[4] lists many reputable manufacturers of solid surface countertops.
• Home improvement stores such as Home Depot^[5] sell solid surface countertops. Local kitchen and bath specialty stores also carry solid surface countertops. Some manufacturers, such as DuPont^[6] , offer customers the opportunity to purchase countertops through their websites.
• Call ahead to schedule an appointment for a consultation at a kitchen & bath or home improvement store.
