Factory direct granite countertops in NY
Factory-direct granite countertops normally cost less. This is true because there aren’t any middlemen involved. Retailers and distributors have numerous expenses that they must pass on to buyers. At times, these companies also incorporate advertising costs into their prices. For example, distribution increases the price of countertops by nearly one-third.
When buying factory direct countertops from Distinctive Surfaces, not only will you get the most affordable countertops, but also your slabs are less likely to suffer damage during shipping.
Granite remnants in Albany
You can buy remnants of granite slabs for smaller jobs and save money, but if you want full-sized countertops, you’ll probably want to use full slabs. Make sure your surfaces are measured accurately so you can get the exact quote before you buy granite countertops. You can ask to keep the remnants for use in future projects, too.
Locally sourced granite slabs
Granite is heavy and expensive to ship. This is why you can find two almost similar slabs from two different countries with two drastically different prices. Whenever you can, buy from the US or a geographically close country.
Buy the common colors of granite countertops
If there is a high demand for one specific color of Granite Countertops in New York, retailers are going to charge more because it will be more difficult for them to get it back in stock at a low price. It’s the basic ‘supply and demand’ scenario that can fluctuate from year to year as the market’s tastes change.
If you’re not too keen on a specific color or variety, you can get granite countertops for less by choosing a less popular color. Be flexible with your color choice and you will still improve the curb appeal of your home.
Mix up the materials
There’s no rule stating that all the countertops in your kitchen must be granite—in fact, our experts at Distinctive Surfaces will tell you that you shouldn’t. A better approach is to select complementary countertop materials based on the function.
For example, install nice granite around the sink, but concrete in the work areas. By mixing and matching materials based on function, you open up more opportunities to use salvaged, remnant or leftover materials. Or you can use a small piece of granite in one special spot (such as the baking area), and cover the rest of the countertops with a less expensive option.
Make use of leftover granite pieces
Granite remnants are leftover pieces from larger pieces used in another project. Ideal for smaller areas such as a bathroom vanity, these often are cheaper because there isn’t enough of it to do a larger project, such as a whole bathroom.
