AfterQuartz & Granite Countertops in Dallas, TX
Quartz and granite countertop installation in Dallas typically runs $55 to $140 per square foot installed, depending on the stone you choose and the complexity of the job. A standard 40-square-foot kitchen runs between $2,200 and $5,600. At Bradford Remodeling Co Dallas, we put that number in writing before we cut a single slab, and every installation carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise.
This page is for homeowners in Dallas who are done with contractors who quote one number over the phone and show up with a different one. If you’re replacing worn laminate, upgrading from tile, or building a new kitchen from the slab up, countertops are one piece of a larger Kitchen Remodeling in Dallas job, and they’re one we handle with the same discipline as the framing, the plumbing, and the finish work. Call us at (903) 326-8963 and a live person answers. That’s not a callback service. That’s a person, at any hour, who can schedule your estimate.
Curtis Lane runs Bradford Remodeling Co Dallas. He holds every job to The Garrison Standard, which is the operating code behind how we price, how we staff, and how we close out a project. The short version: a written price before work starts, background-checked and uniformed technicians on your job, and a signed guarantee in your hand when the job is done.
When You Need Quartz & Granite Countertops
You’ll know. But here are the situations we see most often when we walk into a Dallas kitchen:
- Your laminate or tile counters have failed at the seams. Water gets under laminate edges, tile grout cracks along the substrate line, and what starts as a cosmetic issue becomes a moisture problem against the cabinet bases. Once the substrate is compromised, patching won’t hold.
- You’re selling a home in Lakewood, Preston Hollow, or the M Streets and the kitchen is the one room dragging down the listing. Stone counters are the single highest-impact surface change you can make before a sale, and Dallas buyers expect them at certain price points.
- You cook with heat and you’re tired of protecting the counters. Granite takes a hot pan straight off the burner. Quartz is engineered to resist stains, scratches, and cracks. Both are a practical upgrade if you actually use your kitchen, not just photograph it.
- Your current counters are original to a 1970s or 1980s build. We see this across North Dallas neighborhoods like Lake Highlands and Casa View. The cabinets are often solid, but the surfaces are exhausted. Replacing the tops while keeping the cabinet boxes is a disciplined, cost-contained remodel.
- You’re already in a full Kitchen Remodeling project and want the countertops done right the first time. Countertops that get templated wrong or installed over an unlevel substrate become a rework item. We do the rough-in and the install under one roof, so the corrective loop is ours, not yours.
- You have a seam or a crack in an existing stone top that no one will touch. Not every crack is fixable, but many are, and in a Dallas climate where slab expansion and contraction is a real factor, we’d rather evaluate than replace.
Our Quartz & Granite Countertops Process
Here’s how the job runs, start to finish, under The Garrison Standard. No surprises. No moving numbers.
- Written estimate before any work begins. We measure, we spec the material, and we hand you a price in writing. That number does not change at the door. This is not a gesture or a policy with exceptions. It’s how Bradford Remodeling operates.
- Material selection with documented brand options. We work with name-brand quartz and granite suppliers including Cambria and Caesarstone, among others. You’ll spec an exact product with a manufacturer’s warranty behind it, not a generic “stone” that gets picked out of a warehouse sight unseen.
- Template and fabrication. We template the existing cabinets precisely, including any variation in the runs. Dallas homes settle, and older cabinet runs are rarely dead level. The template accounts for that before the slab is cut.
- Substrate prep and leveling. We inspect and correct the substrate before the stone goes down. If the base isn’t right, the stone won’t sit right, and seams will fail over time. This is the step the cheap bids skip, and it’s the step that costs homeowners later.
- Installation with uniformed, background-checked technicians. You’ll know who is walking through your door before they arrive, because our crew standard is set at the Garrison Partners level, not improvised job by job.
- Squared-away close. Clean site, documented scope, and a signed written guarantee in your hand before we leave. That’s what a finished job looks like at Bradford Remodeling. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the installation for a full year. If the work fails within that window, we come back and correct it at no charge.
Quartz & Granite Countertops Pricing in Dallas
Dallas countertop pricing is driven by material, square footage, edge profile, backsplash, tile & flooring considerations, and whether your existing cabinets need any correction before install. Here’s a straight breakdown of what we quote, in writing, before the first tool comes out:
| Material / Work Item | Typical Installed Range (per sq ft) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Granite, level 1 (standard colors, common slabs) | $45 – $65 | Most economical natural stone. Wide availability in Dallas stone yards. |
| Granite, level 2+ (exotic, rare, bookmatched) | $70 – $115 | Price rises with rarity, thickness, and veining complexity. |
| Quartz (Cambria, Caesarstone, or similar engineered brands) | $65 – $110 | Non-porous, no sealing required, manufacturer warranty backs the material. |
| Quartz, premium lines (thicker slabs, custom patterns) | $95 – $140 | Higher cost reflects slab thickness and design exclusivity. |
| Edge profile upgrade (bullnose, ogee, waterfall, mitered) | $10 – $30 per linear foot | Standard eased edge is baseline. Waterfall and mitered edges add fabrication time. |
| Sink cutout and mounting (undermount) | $150 – $400 per sink | Depends on sink type and whether we’re mounting or fabricating the reveal. |
| Substrate repair or leveling (if needed) | $200 – $600 per job | Common in older Dallas homes where cabinet bases have settled. |
| Demolition and haul-away of existing surface | $250 – $600 | Includes protected removal of old tops and proper disposal. |
These are realistic ranges for the Dallas market as of 2025. Your exact number depends on the stone you choose and the condition of what’s underneath it. Call (903) 326-8963 for a free written estimate. We’ll give you a real number, in writing, before you commit to anything.
One note: the cheapest bid on stone work almost always skips substrate correction, skips proper seam placement, or tacks on a “supplement” after the slab is cut and you’re already on the hook. At Bradford Remodeling Co Dallas, the price is written before work starts, and it includes the prep work that keeps your countertops level and your seams tight.
FAQs – Quartz & Granite Countertops
How much does it cost to replace countertops in Dallas?
Replacing countertops in Dallas typically costs $2,200 to $5,600 for a standard 40-square-foot kitchen, including material, fabrication, installation, and haul-away of the old surface. Your price depends on the stone you choose, the edge profile, and whether the substrate under your existing tops needs leveling. Call (903) 326-8963 and we’ll give you a written number before any work begins.
Is quartz or granite better for a Dallas kitchen?
Quartz is non-porous and never needs sealing, which makes it the lower-maintenance choice; granite handles heat directly and gives you a unique natural pattern no other slab will match. Dallas homeowners who cook frequently and want zero upkeep tend toward quartz, while those who want natural stone character choose granite. We install both, and we’ll spec the right product for your kitchen, your cooking habits, and your budget.
How long does countertop installation take in Dallas?
From template to install, a standard kitchen countertop replacement takes 7 to 14 days in Dallas, with most of that time being fabrication at the stone yard after we template. If you’re doing a full kitchen remodel that includes cabinet installation & refacing, the countertop timeline dovetails with the cabinet install. We schedule it so you’re not without a kitchen longer than necessary.
Can you install countertops without replacing the cabinets?
Yes, we install new quartz or granite countertops on existing cabinet boxes all the time, which is a common, cost-contained upgrade in older Dallas homes where the cabinets are structurally solid. We’ll inspect the cabinet runs and substrate before we template to make sure the bases will hold the stone properly. If repair work is needed, we quote it in writing up front, not after the slab is cut.
Does Bradford Remodeling stand behind the countertop installation?
Yes, every countertop installation carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise, a written guarantee that runs a full year from project completion. If the work fails within that window, we come back and correct it at no charge. The guarantee is in writing, in your hand, before we leave the job site.
What We Install: Quartz and Granite from Documented Brands
We don’t source stone from whoever has the cheapest slab on the yard that week. We work with documented manufacturers including Cambria and Caesarstone, so your countertop has a specific product spec and a manufacturer warranty behind it, not just a handshake. The same applies to every material we install across our remodeling work, from kitchen surfaces to exterior products. If a manufacturer won’t stand behind their product, we won’t put it in your home.
Our broader work at Bradford Remodeling Co Dallas includes full Kitchen Remodeling in Dallas, where countertops are one component of a coordinated scope that includes cabinetry, plumbing, lighting, and finish carpentry.
Here’s what you can expect from us, specific to countertops and everywhere else we work:
- Write it down. We hand you a written price before any work starts. If it’s not written, it’s not a price.
- Show up on time. Background-checked, uniformed technicians. You’ll know who’s coming before they knock.
- Answer the phone. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. A real person picks up at (903) 326-8963. Not a voicemail, not a queue.
- Stand behind the work. 365-Day Done Right Promise. A year of correction coverage, in writing, at no charge if the work fails.
Common Dallas Countertop Issues We Correct
Stone surfaces in Dallas don’t fail on their own. They fail because of what’s underneath them, or because of how they were installed. Here’s what we see:
- Seams opening over time. Dallas has real seasonal temperature swings. Slabs expand and contract. If the substrate wasn’t level at install, seams crack within a year or two. Proper prep stops this before it starts.
- Water damage at the backsplash line. Improper sealing along the back edge lets water sit against the drywall and the cabinet backs. By the time you see it, the damage is deeper than the surface.
- Cracked overhangs on islands and peninsulas. Unsupported overhang is a common shortcut. Stone is heavy. Without proper corbels or a steel support bracket, the overhang eventually fails.
- Dull or etched spots on granite from acidic spills. Granite is durable but porous. Wine, citrus juice, and vinegar will etch an unsealed surface. Sealing matters, and so does resealing over time. We’ll walk you through the care schedule for your specific stone.
- Poor seam placement. A seam in the middle of a high-traffic prep zone is an installation error. We plan seams where they belong: at sink cutouts, at cooktop cutouts, and at natural transitions.
If you’re living with any of these, we can evaluate the existing installation and tell you honestly whether repair is viable or replacement is the better call. No push, no pressure. Just a straight answer.
Why The Garrison Standard Matters on a Countertop Job
The Garrison Standard is the operating framework behind Bradford Remodeling and the entire Garrison Partners family, which has existed since 2004. Each location is independently owned and operated, including ours here in Dallas, and every one is held to the same code. Here’s what that code means, practically, on a countertop install:
- Written price, every time. The estimate is not a conversation. It’s a document. It includes the stone, the fabrication, the install, the demo, the haul-away, and any substrate work we identified during our visit.
- No re-pricing at the door. What we write is what you pay. If we find something during the job that changes scope, you hear about it before we act on it, in writing.
- A signed guarantee at close. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is not verbal. It’s a written document that spells out exactly what’s covered and for how long. You’ll have it in your hand when we leave.
- Clean site, documented scope. “Squared away” means the site is clean, the work is complete, and the paperwork matches the work. That’s the standard, every job.
Curtis Lane has run Bradford Remodeling Co Dallas under this standard since the beginning. The discipline comes from the top, and it shows up on every job site.
