A great way to save money with your
kitchen makeover is by purchasing discount granite
countertops rather than those sold at retail
prices.
Suppliers offer discounted granite for several
reasons. Some suppliers sell at wholesale prices to
homeowners simply to get more business and sell more
granite than their competition. Sometimes, suppliers offer
extremely discounted prices on certain pieces in their
granite yard because they are scrap or remnants left
over from large installation jobs. These slabs are
often smaller, but work great in kitchens with less counter
space area and can drastically reduce the cost of a kitchen
remodeling job. Just be sure that there aren't any
noticeable color differences between the pieces you select
if you need more than one slab for your
counter.
The lower priced granite does have some service trade offs
for the discounted price. Keep in mind that the particular
color or pattern of slabs you are looking for may not
be available. You basically have to choose from what is
there, because there are no special orders for discount
granite. Also, many discount granite countertop suppliers
do not offer installation or consultation services, so you
are usually on your own to find and
installer. However, many suppliers will have
referrals to offer.
Other than remnants and scraps, another option to lower
cost is prefabricated granite countertops. These
discounted counters are made in standard sizes and include
a back splash, and only need to be cut to size.
Unlike scraps and remnants from a granite yard,
installation services are usually available with prefab
granite but there are some other
disadvantages. Thinner slabs are generally used that
must be strengthened by laminate on the back for prefab
granite counters. Also, the most popular patterns
and colors are only available, so it's hard to get
something unique if that's what you are looking for.
