Price Insights in the U.S.

Real market data, trends, and pricing forecasts in the stone countertop industry.

Our Price Insights in the U.S. section is your trusted source for up-to-date pricing information on countertop fabrication and installation across different states and cities. We gather, analyze, and publish real market data to help both homeowners and industry pros plan, budget, and compare estimates with confidence.

Our insights are based on thousands of customer requests processed through the Countertops Contractors Ranking, along with supplier reports, contractor feedback, and results from mystery shopper research. We break down how much people are actually paying in different regions, how prices shift seasonally, and which materials are seeing price increases or drops.

But this section isn’t just about numbers. We dive into the why behind price changes — what’s driving them, how market forces affect labor and materials, and how to build smarter budgets for upcoming projects.

These articles are created in collaboration with our editorial team, contractors featured in the national ranking, as well as experts from top manufacturers and distributors. That means you’re getting insights from the front lines of the industry — practical, honest, and backed by real data.

Have valuable insights, local pricing trends, or a case study to share? We’d love to hear from you. Head over to our Become a Contributor page and submit your piece — helpful content is always welcome and published free of charge.
