I did a lot of shopping around for granite to find the right color and the right price. Granite prices vary significantly and it’s safe to say your local big box retailer is not the best choice. Find a granite-specific place and negotiate. Pay attention to the add-ons such as a nice granite edge and under-mount sink if applicable. Edging prices vary dramatically also. Pay attention to linear feet or linear inches and do the math.
I chose the Delicato family and when looking at the actual slab I asked to avoid a specific section of orange. This type of service is easily achievable with a local fabricator of granite. The color went well with the kitchen cabinets, wolf range, range hood, etc..You need to consider all of this and visualize while shopping. Sometimes its difficult!
They took the time to match counter and island locations with ‘cool looking’ parts of the slab.
