Are you planning to install new granite, quartz, or quartzite countertops? If so, September 1 could be an important date for your project.
Changes in tariffs and import-related costs may lead to significant countertop price increases beginning September 1, affecting the cost of popular materials used in kitchen countertops, bathroom vanities, commercial countertops, and other custom stone projects.
Depending on the material, homeowners and businesses could see substantial increases in quartz countertop prices, granite countertop prices, and quartzite countertop prices.
If you are already considering a countertop project, now may be the best time to request an estimate, choose your material, and secure current pricing.
Why Are Countertop Prices Expected to Increase?
Many countertop materials sold in the United States are imported from manufacturers and stone suppliers around the world. Changes in tariffs, import costs, transportation expenses, and material pricing can directly affect the final cost of granite, quartz, and quartzite countertops.
New import-related costs expected to affect the industry beginning September 1 may result in higher prices for several popular countertop materials.
Current industry estimates suggest:
- Quartz countertop prices may increase by approximately 25% to 50%.
- Granite and quartzite imported from Brazil may increase by as much as 25%.
The actual impact will depend on the material, supplier, availability, and size of your countertop project. However, even a relatively small percentage increase can significantly affect the total cost of a kitchen or commercial countertop installation.
For larger projects, increased material costs could add hundreds or even thousands of dollars to the final price.
How Much Could a Countertop Price Increase Affect Your Project?
The cost of a countertop project depends on several factors, including:
- The type of material you choose
- The size of your countertops
- The number of slabs required
- Edge profiles and fabrication requirements
- Sink and cooktop cutouts
- Installation requirements
- Material availability
Because countertop pricing is directly connected to material costs, an increase in the price of quartz, granite, or quartzite can affect the entire project budget.
For example, a homeowner planning a large kitchen with premium quartz countertops may see a much greater price difference than someone replacing a small bathroom vanity.
The best way to understand how upcoming price changes may affect your project is to receive a current countertop estimate before September 1.
Lock In Your Current Countertop Price Before September 1
You do not need to complete your countertop installation before September 1 to take advantage of current pricing.
To secure your project at today’s available pricing, you simply need to:
- Choose your countertop material
- Receive and approve your countertop estimate
- Place the required deposit before September 1
By finalizing your order before the deadline, Troy Granite can reserve your selected material and lock in the current project price, subject to material availability and supplier conditions.
This allows you to secure your granite, quartz, or quartzite countertops now while scheduling fabrication and installation according to your construction or renovation timeline.
Quartz Countertop Prices May See the Largest Increases
Quartz remains one of the most popular countertop materials for modern kitchens and bathrooms because of its durability, appearance, and wide selection of colors and patterns.
However, quartz is also one of the materials that may be significantly affected by increased import costs.
Industry pricing estimates suggest that some quartz countertop prices could increase by approximately 25% to 50% after September 1.
The exact increase may vary depending on the brand, collection, country of origin, and supplier.
If you are currently comparing quartz colors or requesting quotes for a kitchen countertop project, securing your material before the pricing change could result in significant savings.
Granite and Quartzite Prices May Also Increase
Natural stone buyers may also be affected.
Some granite and quartzite slabs imported from Brazil could experience price increases of up to approximately 25%.
Brazil is an important source of natural stone used in residential and commercial countertop projects throughout the United States.
If you are considering materials such as exotic granite, natural quartzite, or other imported stone slabs, availability and pricing may change as suppliers adjust to new import-related costs.
Popular colors and slabs may also become more difficult to secure as homeowners, contractors, and builders attempt to purchase materials before the September 1 deadline.
You Do Not Need to Install Before September 1
One of the most important things to understand is that your countertops do not necessarily need to be fabricated or installed before September 1.
The key is to finalize your material selection and secure your order before new pricing takes effect.
This can be especially useful if you are:
- Planning a future kitchen renovation
- Building a new home
- Remodeling a bathroom
- Working with a contractor or builder
- Completing a commercial construction project
- Waiting for cabinets or other construction work to be completed
By selecting your material and placing your deposit before the deadline, you may be able to protect your project from future countertop price increases.
Don’t Wait Until Popular Countertop Materials Are Gone
Price increases are not the only concern.
As September 1 approaches, demand for in-stock quartz, granite, and quartzite slabs may increase. Certain colors, patterns, and popular materials could become limited or sell out.
Once a specific slab or material is no longer available, replacing it may mean choosing a different option—or paying a higher price for a similar material.
If you have already started planning your kitchen, bathroom, or commercial countertop project, now is a good time to finalize your selection.
