Countertop Installation Cost in San Antonio, TX: Granite vs. Quartz (2026 Guide)

The right countertop can make a San Antonio kitchen or bathroom look like it cost twice as much — or the wrong install can make even expensive stone look cheap. Here's what granite and quartz actually cost installed.

Average Countertop Installation Costs in San Antonio

• Basic package: $2,000–$4,500 — standard granite or entry-level quartz, common kitchen footprint
• Standard package: $4,500–$8,000 — upgraded stone selection, larger surface area
• Premium package: $8,000+ — premium granite/quartz, waterfall edges, large islands

Granite vs. Quartz — Which Costs More?

Granite pricing varies widely by slab rarity — common colors are affordable, exotic granite can cost significantly more. Quartz is engineered, so pricing is more consistent slab to slab, and it doesn't need sealing the way natural granite does. Neither is universally cheaper — it depends on the specific stone you pick.

What Drives the Price

• Square footage: Measured precisely — more counter, more material and fabrication cost
• Edge profile: A simple eased edge costs less than a bullnose or waterfall edge
• Cutouts: Sink cutouts, cooktop cutouts, and outlet holes all add fabrication time
• Slab selection: Rare granite patterns or premium quartz colors cost more per square foot
