What are some of the factors that affect pricing? Labor, by far, has the greatest influence on concrete countertops cost. Building molds for countertops is not a simple process; it requires a lot of measuring for laying out sinks, faucets, edges, thicknesses, and making sure everything is square and level as cabinets or stone bases almost never are.
Next we have to install bases for the countertop itself, edges, all the while taking care of the base cabinets. Lastly, we mix the cement with all its additives in the correct proportions, place it, and finish it so that it’s smooth then seal it with the right sealer. It does require trained personnel or things won’t end well.
Concrete countertops cost is also dependent on what upgrades may be chosen, i.e., if you want to acid stain or polish the countertops. This will increase price as they are labor-intensive processes, particularly polishing. Other options include custom edges such as rounded, chipped stone, or bullnose, and the type of sealer that you would like us to apply to protect your countertop. We normally include polyurethane sealers in our base charge but other types, such as epoxy, are available for a small additional charge.
All in all, concrete countertop prices are quite competitive with granite and other solid surface solutions. We offer a unique looking option for your kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor areas that stands out from all the rest.
