When it comes to flooring installers, licensing laws vary from state to state. Even if your state doesn’t require your flooring installer to have a license, your municipality or city might, so it’s a good idea to check with your town before getting started. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local general contractor guidelines. 

Hiring an unlicensed flooring installer could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.

There are several countertop options available to fit your lifestyle and needs. 

• Granite countertops are durable and come in a variety of colors.

• Soapstone countertops are prone to scratches and best in smaller kitchens.

• Marble countertops are less durable than granite but a good option for busy kitchens.

• Slate countertops are stain-resistant, making them easy to clean.

• Limestone countertops must be sealed often to prevent scratches.

• Acrylic countertops cost less than granite while still providing durability.

• Laminate countertops are the most affordable but chip and fade faster.

• Wood countertops need monthly sealing to maintain.

The cost to install countertops is $3,105 on average. This project cost can range from $400 to $8,500, depending on the material, edging, and countertop size.
