Is $6,000 to install kitchen countertops a fair price?
Project Details
I am undergoing a full gut rehab and recently had new counters installed. I had specific requests for a 1-inch overhang from the base cabinet (providing about 1/4-inch clearance) and provided my own square corner sink for precise measurements. I also declined a free rounded-corner sink. I expected an additional faucet hole for a soap dispenser. I have text communications with my GC regarding the counter specifications, but the contract from the counter company for the 50% deposit was general and lacked specific details. I'm concerned about the quality of the installation and how to proceed, especially since the largest run has uneven edges and sink problems, and I'm worried the drawer tops will get damaged.
Quote Details
Installation of new kitchen countertops. The project was intended to include a 1-inch overhang from the base cabinet, a custom cut for a homeowner-provided square corner sink, and an additional faucet hole for a soap dispenser. However, the actual installation deviated significantly from these specifications: - Overhang: Installed flush with base cabinet drawers, at most 3/4 inch from the cabinet itself. - Negative Overhang: One section has a negative overhang, with the white drawer top protruding 1/8 to 3/16 inch beyond the counter. - Sink Cut: Rounded corners were cut for the homeowner's square sink. - Missing Feature: The additional faucet hole for a soap dispenser was not created.
