A locally owned countertop fabricator and installer that sells granite, quartz, and laminate directly to homeowners and contractors without markup from middlemen, Granite & Quartz Countertops operates a showroom on the north side where customers can see full slabs, request estimates same-day, and avoid the pricing tier that comes through kitchen designers or big-box retailers.
The business operates as both a materials supplier and installation crew. Unlike kitchen showrooms that source counters from regional distributors and mark them up, or big retailers that offer limited slab selection and weeks of lead time, this shop buys slabs wholesale, fabricates to order in its own shop, and installs through a crew of its own installers. It carries granite (natural stone with sealing and etching risks), engineered quartz (non-porous, lower maintenance), and laminate for budget-conscious jobs. The showroom is small, roughly 800 square feet, with about 30 to 40 full slabs on display at any given time; additional options can be ordered from supplier stock.
Granite runs $35 to $65 per linear foot installed for most domestic and imported varieties; premium stones (rare imports or highly figured slabs) reach $75 to $90. Engineered quartz costs $45 to $80 per linear foot and offers a wider color palette with no sealing required. Laminate is $15 to $25 per linear foot and suitable for rental properties or short-term use. Pricing includes edge detail (beveled, bullnose, or eased), sink cutout, faucet hole, and standard backsplash trim; custom edges and waterfall ends add $10 to $20 per linear foot. Undermount sinks cost extra (typically $200 to $400 for installation). Removal and disposal of old counters is usually $150 to $300 depending on material and size. A basic kitchen countertop (24 feet of counter, one sink, standard edge) typically runs $1,200 to $2,800 depending on material choice. Prices can shift with stone availability and market cost; confirm current figures by phone before committing.
The estimate process is brief: measure the kitchen or bath, choose a slab (or reserve one for later viewing), and receive a written quote the same day. There is no deposit to get a quote. A 50 percent deposit holds the slab and schedules fabrication; the balance is due on installation day. Fabrication takes 7 to 10 business days after deposit. Installation typically takes one day for a kitchen, two for a full bath renovation.
Oklahoma City homeowners can buy counters through kitchen design firms (which often mark up materials 25 to 40 percent and require full kitchen consultations), big-box home improvement stores (which offer limited color choice and rely on third-party installers), or local fabricators. Granite & Quartz Countertops differentiates through direct pricing (no design-firm markup), same-day estimates (versus online quotes or multi-day callbacks), and in-house installation (versus coordinating with a separate contractor or dealing with installer no-shows). Compared to big-box outlets, the slab variety is deeper and sourcing is faster because the shop owns slabs rather than ordering them. Compared to high-end design firms, this option trades personalized kitchen design advice for lower total cost and a more straightforward transaction. It suits homeowners who know what they want (granite vs. quartz, rough color palette) and want to avoid being upsold on unnecessary design services.
This works well for homeowners replacing only counters (not gutting the kitchen), contractors who need reliable pricing and quick turnaround on multi-unit jobs, and budget-conscious buyers choosing quartz or laminate. It is less ideal for someone designing a kitchen from scratch who wants coordinated cabinetry, flooring, and countertop consultation all in one place. Customers uncomfortable choosing from a limited in-store slab selection should avoid this; ordering slabs from supplier inventory takes an extra week and loses the instant-decision advantage.
Walk in without an appointment. The showroom staff will ask the room type (kitchen or bath), approximate square footage, and whether you want to see slabs now or get an estimate first. If viewing slabs, you stand at large horizontal displays and staff pulls options based on color preference. If ready to measure, they schedule a 30-minute on-site visit or take rough dimensions you provide and quote on the spot. Bring a photo of your kitchen or bath if you have one; it speeds the conversation. The visit is pressure-free; staff does not push upgrades.
The showroom is open Monday to Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., closed Sunday. There is free surface lot parking for about eight cars. The address and phone number are essential; confirm hours before driving, as holiday schedules shift seasonally. On-site estimates are offered in north Oklahoma City and some surrounding areas within a 15-mile radius; jobs farther out may require phone quotes.
A direct-buy countertop fabricator removes the middleman markup and design-firm delay that makes counter replacement feel more expensive and complicated than it needs to be, an advantage that matters most to kitchen remodelers working on a fixed budget and timeline.
