- Published national estimates run from about $50 to $200+ per square foot (Fixr, January 2026, which describes the range as materials and labor but lists installation separately) or $50 to $150 installed (Slabwise, July 2026), which says most homeowners land between $70 and $100.
- We found no independent Florida price survey, so every figure here is a national or multi-state estimate, not a Florida or Darvin Kitchen price. The closest published figure is Slabwise’s South Atlantic (Miami, Atlanta) range of $65 to $130 per square foot installed.
- Twenty linear feet at a standard 25.5-inch depth is about 42.5 square feet, which works out to roughly $2,100 to $8,500+ before extras; the Fixr-based figures may exclude installation. Twenty square feet would be about $1,000 to $4,000+.
- Grade, color, edge, cutouts, layout, removal of the old top and site access change the total. An itemized quote shows which are included.
- Published ranges for granite, porcelain slabs, marble and quartzite overlap quartz, so price alone rarely settles the choice.
How much does quartz cost per square foot?
Published national estimates for quartz run from about $50 to $200+ per square foot, depending on grade and on what the number includes. Fixr’s cost guide (updated January 29, 2026) gives $50 to $200+ and splits it by grade. Slabwise, a software company for stone fabricators (updated July 9, 2026), gives $50 to $150 installed, with most homeowners between $70 and $100. Homewyse (May 2026) says its national average cost starts at $120 to $157 per square foot.
| Grade | Fixr, per sq ft (Jan 2026) | Slabwise, per sq ft installed (Jul 2026) |
|---|---|---|
| Entry-level or builder grade | $50–$75 | $50–$70 |
| Mid-grade | $75–$125 | $70–$100 |
| Premium | $125–$200+ | $100–$150 |
Sources define “installed” differently: Fixr describes its range as materials and labor but lists installation separately, while Slabwise gives an installed range and puts labor and fabrication at $30 to $50 per square foot. Ask what any quote covers before you compare totals.
Are there Florida-specific quartz prices?
Not from an independent Florida survey we could open; the closest published figure is a multi-state regional one. Slabwise’s regional table lists South Atlantic (Miami, Atlanta) at $65 to $130 per square foot installed, a multi-state region rather than a Tampa Bay price. The same vendor says coastal and high-cost metro markets run 15 to 30 percent above its national medians, a statement without a stated method. Local fabricators post Tampa Bay ranges, but those are sales pages, so we did not use them. Fixr’s countertop guide (January 28, 2026) adds that costs rise when a kitchen is on an upper floor or access is limited, which can apply to condo kitchens. For a number you can use, collect itemized quotes on the same layout and read what moves the price of a Tampa Bay remodel.
How much does 20 feet of quartz countertop cost?
For 20 linear feet at a standard 25.5-inch depth, about 42.5 square feet, the published ranges work out to roughly $2,100 to $8,500+ before extras. If you mean 20 square feet, they give about $1,000 to $4,000+. This is arithmetic on published ranges as an illustration, not a Darvin Kitchen price or quote; the Fixr-based top end may exclude installation.
- Convert feet to square feet: length × depth ÷ 12. Livingetc (September 2025) quotes a designer: a 24-inch cabinet box plus a 1½-inch overhang makes 25½ inches. So 20 × 25.5 ÷ 12 = 42.5 square feet.
- Multiply by a per-square-foot range from a published source.
- Add the extras that a per-foot figure may not cover, listed below the table.
| Grade | 20 linear feet (42.5 sq ft) | 20 square feet |
|---|---|---|
| Entry-level or builder grade | $2,100–$3,200 | $1,000–$1,500 |
| Mid-grade | $3,000–$5,300 | $1,400–$2,500 |
| Premium | $4,300–$8,500+ | $2,000–$4,000+ |
Each range runs from the lowest to the highest figure of the two sources in the grade table above, multiplied by the area and rounded. Fixr’s FAQ says a simple job could fall to $1,000 and custom colors or thicker material could reach $4,000 for 20 feet of countertop; that matches 20 square feet at $50 and $200, not 20 linear feet.
Extras are priced separately and can move a 20-foot run by hundreds of dollars. Fixr (quartz page, January 2026) lists square and eased edges at no extra cost, full bullnose or bevel at $20 to $50 per linear foot and ogee at $30 to $60, so $400 to $1,200 on 20 feet of finished edge. Cutouts, removal of an old top and delivery appear as separate lines in the published guides, and Fixr’s two cost pages give different figures for them, so ask for each as its own line.
What changes the price of a quartz countertop?
Grade and color, thickness, edge, cutouts, layout, removal of the old top and site access do most of the work. Each row below shows what the published guides say.
| Factor | What the published guides say |
|---|---|
| Color and pattern | Fixr: neutral earth tones add little; translucent or brightly colored slabs may cost up to 50% more per square foot. |
| Thickness | Slabwise: going from 2 cm to 3 cm can add $10 to $20 per square foot to the material. Fixr: a thinner slab lowers material, delivery and installation costs. |
| Edge profile | Slabwise: waterfall, mitered or ogee edges can add $15 to $30 per linear foot. |
| Layout, slabs and seams | Fixr: a standard slab is roughly 120 by 55 inches and the layout decides how many you need. Slabwise: L and U shapes mean more waste and more seaming decisions. Ask for a seam drawing. |
| Cabinets and access | Fixr: cabinets must be level, and particleboard or MDF boxes may need reinforcement; stairs and complex layouts raise labor. |
| Backsplash and sink | Fixr lists a matching backsplash as its own line. The sink is a separate product; see our sinks. |
How does quartz cost compare with porcelain and natural stone?
Published ranges overlap heavily, so price rarely settles the choice. Granite starts a little lower, porcelain slabs sit in the same band as mid-range quartz, and marble and quartzite reach the top of the quartz range.
| Material | Published $/sq ft, as each source states it | Source and date |
|---|---|---|
| Quartz | See the grade table above | Fixr, Jan 2026; Slabwise, Jul 2026 |
| Granite | $40–$150 | Fixr, Jan 28, 2026 |
| Porcelain slab | $50–$120 | Slabwise, Mar 2026 |
| Marble | $50–$200 | Fixr, Jan 28, 2026 |
| Quartzite | $60–$200 | Fixr, Jan 28, 2026 |
| Mineral surfaces | No published estimate found | Ask for a quote |
The same vendor adds that thin porcelain slabs (6 to 12 mm) need a plywood or honeycomb subtop, which adds cost. Price is one input. Our guide to quartz downsides and alternatives covers heat, sun, seams and silica, and the catalog pages describe quartz, porcelain and mineral surfaces.
How do you get a quote you can compare?
Ask every fabricator to price the same measured layout, line by line.
- 01
Measure and sketch
Note each run in linear feet, the depth, the sink and cooktop positions and any island.
- 02
Ask for the same lines
Color name and grade, thickness, edge profile, number of slabs, cutouts, a seam drawing, removal and disposal, backsplash and delivery.
- 03
Ask what is excluded
Homewyse’s estimate leaves out general-contractor markup, sales tax and permit fees. Check whether yours does too.
- 04
Compare at least three
Fixr advises three quotes and caution with very low bids; one stone-industry vendor says quote variation in this trade is big.
- 05
Ask for the manufacturer’s SDS
Request the safety data sheet for the exact color, and ask how and where the slab will be cut.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a quartz countertop cost?
Published national estimates run from about $50 to $200+ per square foot, depending on grade and on what the figure includes (Fixr, January 2026; Slabwise, July 2026). These are not Florida or Darvin Kitchen prices; see the grade table above.
How much does 20 ft of quartz countertop cost?
Twenty linear feet at a 25.5-inch depth is about 42.5 square feet, which gives roughly $2,100 to $8,500+ on the published ranges before extras. Twenty square feet gives about $1,000 to $4,000+. This is an illustration, not a quote.
How much should I expect to pay for quartz countertops?
Start from your measurements: multiply your square footage by the per-square-foot ranges above, then add edges, cutouts, removal and delivery, and compare itemized quotes.
Does the per-square-foot price include installation?
It depends on the source. Slabwise’s range is installed; Fixr says its range covers materials and labor but lists installation separately. Ask what each quote includes.
Is quartz cheaper than granite?
Not reliably. Published installed ranges for granite and quartz overlap, and granite starts a little lower.
