Quartz and granite countertops in Fort Lauderdale typically run $55 to $140 per square foot installed, depending on stone selection, edge profile, and how much seam work your layout requires.

Counting on stone surfaces to hold up in a Fort Lauderdale kitchen means planning for humidity, hard water, and the daily wear of a household that actually uses its kitchen. We install both quartz and granite, and we’ll help you pick the right material for how you live, not just what photographs well in a showroom. This service is part of our broader Kitchen Remodeling work, so we can coordinate countertops with cabinetry, sinks, and backsplash without you managing multiple crews.

When you work with Mason Remodeling Co Fort Lauderdale, you’ll know who is walking through your door before they arrive. Every technician is background-checked and identity-verified under The Threshold Standard, and you’ll receive their name and photo ahead of the visit. They’ll arrive in a clean, marked uniform and present a photo ID badge at the door. No surprises, no anonymous subcontractors, and no work begins until you’ve seen a written price.

Key Takeaways for Fort Lauderdale Homeowners

• What you’ll pay: $55 to $140 per square foot installed is the honest range for quartz and granite in this market.
• How long it takes: Template on day one, fabrication takes about a week, installation is one full day for most kitchens.
• Quartz vs. granite: Quartz is non-porous and never needs sealing; granite is natural stone that needs sealing once or twice a year but offers one-of-a-kind veining.
• Who comes to your home: A named, photo-verified technician from Mason Remodeling Co Fort Lauderdale, uniformed and badged under The Threshold Standard.
• What’s guaranteed: A written price before any work starts, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise covering any installation defect for a full year from completion.

Quartz vs. Granite: Which One Belongs in Your Fort Lauderdale Kitchen?

Quartz countertops are engineered stone, roughly 90 to 93 percent crushed natural quartz bound with resins and pigments. That manufacturing process makes quartz non-porous, which means it resists staining from coffee, wine, citrus juice, and the cooking oils that find their way onto every kitchen surface. It never requires sealing, and the color is consistent slab to slab, so if you ever need to add a matching section later, you won’t fight visible variation.

Granite is quarried in full slabs, and no two are alike. The veining and mineral deposits that make granite distinctive are the same things that make it slightly higher-maintenance: because it’s naturally porous, granite should be sealed once or twice a year to keep liquids from soaking in. In a humid climate like Fort Lauderdale’s, that sealing routine matters more than it does in drier regions, because moisture and mold can work into unsealed stone around the sink and cooktop areas. We carry product lines including Silestone, Caesarstone, and Cambria, and we’ll show you full-size slabs at local suppliers, not just four-inch samples under showroom lighting.

What Fort Lauderdale Homeowners Ask Most About Each Material

• Stain resistance: Quartz wins outright. No sealing, no maintenance, and it shrugs off the acidic spills that etch natural stone.
• Heat tolerance: Granite handles hot pans placed directly on the surface. Quartz can scorch or discolor under extreme direct heat, so we recommend trivets regardless.
• Appearance: Granite gives you depth and movement that no engineered product fully replicates. Quartz gives you predictable, clean color that pairs well with modern cabinetry.
• Longevity: Both materials can last 20 years or more with basic care. The difference is the care routine, not the lifespan.

When You Need Quartz & Granite Countertops

Countertops are one of the most-used surfaces in your home, and they eventually tell you when they’re done. Here’s what we see most often across Fort Lauderdale, from Victoria Park condos to Rio Vista ranches to waterfront homes along Las Olas:

• Chipped edges or cracked slabs: A heavy pot dropped at the wrong angle, a crack radiating from the sink cutout, or a chip on a high-traffic corner. Granite can sometimes be repaired, but deep structural cracks almost always warrant replacement.
• Permanent staining or etching: If your current stone shows water rings, oil stains, or dull etched spots that won’t polish out, the protective seal has failed and the stone itself has absorbed damage. This is common in older Fort Lauderdale homes where granite hasn’t been resealed in years.
• Outdated colors or 4-inch backsplash slabs: Builder-grade yellows, browns, and speckled patterns from the late 1990s and early 2000s drag down an otherwise updated kitchen. Replacing the countertop alone can modernize the whole room without a full remodel.
• You’re already remodeling the kitchen: If cabinets are coming out or the sink is being replaced, it’s the right moment to template and install new stone. Doing countertops during a Kitchen Remodeling in Fort Lauderdale project saves you a second demolition and a second set of labor charges.
• Buying or selling a home: South Florida real estate agents will tell you: dated countertops are one of the first things buyers notice and one of the fastest upgrades sellers can make before listing.
• Seam failure or countertop separation: Humidity cycles in Fort Lauderdale can cause cheap adhesive to fail at seams, leaving visible gaps or uneven surfaces. If your counters are separating, the fix is usually a full reinstall, not a patch job.

Our Quartz & Granite Countertops Process

We keep the sequence straightforward so you always know what happens next and who will be in your home. Here’s how we work, step by step:

1. Phone consultation and rough estimate. You call (754) 354-3720, a live person answers, and we talk through your kitchen layout, material preferences, and budget range. We can usually give you a ballpark square-footage figure on this call so you know if the project fits before anyone visits.
2. In-home measurement and material selection. A named technician arrives in uniform with photo ID. We measure your existing counters precisely, check cabinet squareness, and walk you through material options. You’ll see full-size slabs, not just small samples.
3. Written price, no work until you approve. Within a day or two of measuring, you receive a written price that covers material, fabrication, templating, installation, sink cutout, sink mounting, and haul-away of your old counters. This is the exact number you’ll pay. No allowances that creep, no verbal estimates that grow.
4. Templating and fabrication. We create a digital template of your counters for exact cutting. Fabrication typically takes five to seven business days at a local Fort Lauderdale stone shop.
5. Installation day. Our crew removes your old counters, sets the new stone, mounts your sink, and makes all necessary seam joints. For most kitchens, this is a one-day process, though complex layouts with islands and waterfall edges can run into a second morning.
6. Final walkthrough and written guarantee. We walk the project with you before we pack up. You get a written guarantee covering the installation for 365 days from the completion date, with clearly stated terms on what’s covered and what isn’t.

Quartz & Granite Countertops Pricing in Fort Lauderdale

You should know the real numbers before you start shopping. Here’s what quartz and granite countertops actually cost in Fort Lauderdale as of 2025, based on projects we’ve priced across the city:

Item	Typical Range (Installed)
Granite, level 1 (builder-grade colors)	$55 to $70 per sq ft
Granite, level 2-3 (premium patterns, larger veining)	$70 to $95 per sq ft
Quartz, standard (Silestone, Caesarstone core lines)	$65 to $85 per sq ft
Quartz, premium (Cambria, specialty finishes)	$85 to $140 per sq ft
Edge profiles (eased, bevel, bullnose)	$8 to $15 per linear ft
Fancier edge profiles (ogee, waterfall, mitered)	$20 to $45 per linear ft
Sink cutout and mounting	$150 to $350 total
Removal and haul-away of old counters	$250 to $500 total
Full kitchen (30-40 sq ft, mid-range stone)	$3,200 to $5,600 total
Full kitchen (40-60 sq ft, premium stone, island, waterfall)	$6,000 to $9,500 total

What moves the number: the stone itself is the biggest variable, then edge profile, then how many seams your layout demands. A peninsula with a waterfall edge on both ends adds fabrication complexity and material. An undermount sink is standard on every install we do, but if you’re adding a second prep sink or a pot filler cutout, that adds a bit more.

We give you a written price before any work starts, on every project, every time. That’s not a promotion or a special offer. That’s how we operate. If your project runs into a complication, we tell you before it affects the invoice, not after.

For a precise number on your kitchen, call (754) 354-3720. Estimates are free, and a live person answers around the clock, every day of the year.

What Makes Mason Remodeling Co Fort Lauderdale Different on Countertop Jobs

Countertops are heavy. A single granite slab can weigh over 400 pounds, and a bad lift can damage your cabinets, your flooring, or your backsplash. We send crews who do this specific work, with the right equipment and the right technique, so your kitchen doesn’t become a cautionary tale. Here’s what you get when you hire us:

• Written price before any work starts. You approve the exact number in writing before a single tool is unpacked. No verbal estimates that grow on the final bill. No “unexpected” line items at the end.
• Named, photo-verified technicians. Under The Threshold Standard, every crew member is background-checked and identity-verified. You receive their name and photo before the visit, and they show a photo ID badge when they arrive. If you’re home alone, you’ll know exactly who’s at your door.
• 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the installation isn’t right within a year of completion, we make it right at no cost to you. Coverage terms are written clearly, including what’s covered, what’s excluded, and for how long.
• Specification-grade materials. We install premium quartz and granite lines including Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone. You’re not limited to whatever the local slab yard happens to have on hand.
• A live person, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Call at noon or call at 2 a.m. Somebody picks up. No phone trees, no voicemail loops.

We’ve been doing this since 2004 as part of the Threshold Group family of home-service companies, and we’ve held to the same standards on every job since day one. Not every crew in South Florida can say that.

How Much Does Quartz & Granite Countertop Installation Cost in Fort Lauderdale?

Installed quartz and granite countertops in Fort Lauderdale run $55 to $140 per square foot, which puts a typical 40-square-foot kitchen at $3,200 to $7,800 depending on stone grade, edge work, and layout complexity. The single biggest cost driver is the stone itself: entry-level granite starts around $55 per square foot installed, while premium quartz from Cambria can reach $140 per square foot with a waterfall edge and mitered corners. Before you commit, get a written estimate that includes removal, sink work, and haul-away, since those line items can add $400 to $800 to the total.

FAQs – Quartz & Granite Countertops

Is quartz or granite better for a Fort Lauderdale kitchen?

Quartz is the better choice for most Fort Lauderdale homes because it’s non-porous, never needs sealing, and resists the humidity and staining common in South Florida kitchens, while granite offers unique natural veining but requires sealing once or twice a year. If you want no maintenance and consistent color, choose quartz. If you want one-of-a-kind natural stone and don’t mind the upkeep, granite is a beautiful option. We install both, and we’ll help you decide based on how you use your kitchen. Call (754) 354-3720 to talk through your priorities.

How long does countertop installation take in Fort Lauderdale?

A standard quartz or granite countertop installation takes two to three days total from the start of templating, with fabrication taking about one week between template and install day. The actual removal of old counters and installation of new stone is usually a single day for most kitchens. Complex layouts with islands, waterfall edges, or multiple seams can stretch into a second morning. We’ll give you a firm timeline in writing before work begins.

Is it cheaper to repair or replace countertops?

For most damage beyond a minor chip, replacing countertops is the better long-term value in Fort Lauderdale, since repairs on cracked slabs or failed seams often cost $400 to $1,200 and don’t address the underlying structural issue. A small chip on a corner can be filled and polished for a few hundred dollars, and that may be worth it if the stone is otherwise in good shape. But if you’re seeing multiple cracks, separation at joints, or staining that won’t come out, replacement is the honest recommendation. We’ll assess your specific damage and tell you straight, even if that means we recommend against spending money with us.

Can you install countertops the same week I call?

In most cases, templating can happen within three to five business days of your call, and fabrication runs about a week after that, so full installation typically lands within two weeks of your first phone call. During slower seasons we can sometimes move faster, and we’ll always tell you the real timeline upfront. If you need countertops coordinated with a larger Kitchen Remodeling in Fort Lauderdale project, we sequence the work so your kitchen isn’t torn up any longer than necessary. Call (754) 354-3720 and we’ll check current scheduling while you’re on the line.

Do quartz countertops need sealing in South Florida’s humidity?

No, quartz countertops never need sealing, which is one of the main reasons they’re so popular in Fort Lauderdale’s humid climate. Granite does need sealing once or twice a year because it’s naturally porous, and in high-humidity environments, skipping that maintenance can lead to staining and bacterial growth in the stone. If you go with granite, we’ll show you exactly what to use and how often to apply it.

Will my new countertops come with a written warranty?

Yes, every countertop installation from Mason Remodeling Co Fort Lauderdale comes with a written guarantee that covers the installation for 365 days from the completion date, with clearly stated terms on what’s covered and what’s not. Stone manufacturers like Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone also carry their own material warranties that we’ll help you register. If something fails within that first year, we return and make it right at no cost to you under the 365-Day Done Right Promise.
