Also mined in the mountains of Italy, Carrara is very plentiful and is by far the most popular type of marble. This makes it a more affordable option for homeowners with an average cost of $45 per square foot. Carrara is used in many famous statues and buildings. Sometimes it’s found with a blue-gray hue or a less pure white, further contributing to its more affordable price point.

Cultured Marble Countertops Cost
Cultured marble is a manufactured product that combines certain resins, stone particles, and pigments to produce a product that has a natural marble look. In the production process, the mixed materials are poured into molds that result in a final product such as shower pans, shower walls, bathtubs, sinks, trim, backsplash, and countertops. Cultured marble costs $70 per square foot.
Danby Marble Countertops Cost
For more than a century, a quarry in Vermont, Canada, has some questioning if Vermont is the new Italy, because of the eight varieties of quality marble traditionally only available from Italian mines. The Eureka Danby has medium to heavy gray veins that run through its darker gold base, and experts often liken it to Calacatta Gold, while the rarer Imperial Danby Marble features light to medium vein features and is commonly found as the countertop of choice for many homeowners. Danby marble countertops will cost around $85 per square foot.
Marble VS Marble Tiles
A marble slab is a large custom cut piece of stone to fit the dimensions of your countertop space. On the flip side, marble tiles are thinner squares that are commonly used in kitchen backsplashes and flooring. Let’s compare our choices of marble tile and slab:
-
Marble Slab Backsplash
Install a professional, seamless backsplash to match your countertops at an average cost of $40 to $55 per square foot.
-
Marble Tile Backsplash
If a slab is a bit out of your budget, marble tile is an excellent alternative at a fraction of the cost. At $8 to $12 per square foot, marble tiles are a budget-friendly option for your kitchen or bathroom.
-
Marble Flooring
Most of the time, marble flooring is made up of tiles because they are easy to install and easy to replace if they get damaged. Marble floor tiles cost between $8 to $12 per square foot, whereas a slab marble floor costs on average $12 to $22 per square foot.

Upload Your PlanMarble Countertops Cost Factors
While the cost of the marble makes up 80% of your countertop installation cost, there are a few more cost factors to keep in mind when planning your project.
-
Marble Quality
As detailed in the list of marble types, the cost ranges from $30/sqft all the way to Calacatta marble that can fetch $200/sqft. The size of marble you will need, along with your color choices and whatever type of finish you want, will dictate the quality of marble you end up with.

-
Kitchen Island and Backsplash
In addition to the standard kitchen layout, if you want to add a kitchen island with a marble countertop and a marble backsplash around the entire counter space, as well as a custom edge to the countertop slab, you could quickly end up doubling the cost of your project.
-
Size of Kitchen
The average house today will have 40 sqft of counter space. Marble slabs come in different sizes, and full slabs are always cheaper to install than smaller pieces. Check with your contractor for a range of different sizes, as some offer a discount per square foot once you pass certain square footage.
-
Old Countertop Removal
If you are replacing an existing countertop, you will need to have old countertop safely removed without any damage to the countertops or your sink. If your marble installation contractor doesn’t have a line item for that service in the quote for your project, then expect to pay between $350–$500 for the service, depending on the size and weight of your existing countertop.
-
Countertop Design
Perfect rectangles are much easier to cut and install thus making your installation costs cheaper.
-
Marble Thickness
Marble comes in a few different thicknesses where the thicker your slab, the more expensive it will be.
-
Color & Vein
The more uniform the vein is in its appearance, and the purer the white elements are, the higher the price gets.
