For a rough estimate of this:

1.   Start with the countertops that abut a wall: Measure the length of the countertops – in inches- where the countertops meet the wall

2.   Multiply the length by 29.5″. This is the standard depth of countertops (25.5″ + the standard height of the backsplash 4.”) Divide by 144 to calculate square feet

3.   Bars/Islands: Add the area of bars and islands by multiplying their width and length in inches and dividing by 144.

4.   Round up total square footage of all surfaces to nearest whole number and multiply by the granite price per square foot. See our Atlanta granite countertops section for pricing.

Other fees for things like sink cutouts, countertop removal, edging will also apply. See Atlanta granite countertops for more details.
