When you start to consider home upgrades, you want to focus on upgrades that will really improve the quality and functionality of your home. Countertops are a great place to start. If you're planning on receiving professional countertop installation services, it's a good idea to seek out an estimate first. According to HomeGuide, an expert home improvement business directory, the average cost of having 30ft to 40ft countertops professionally installed runs from $2,400 to $6,000. Here are a few reasons why you should ask for an estimate from your countertop contractor.

1. Learn More About the Company

Getting an estimate provides you with some financial information, but it's also a chance to get to know the company a little better. If you've never worked with a particular company, you only have their reputation and maybe some reviews to go on. However, when you ask for an estimate, you'll get a chance to interact with the company firsthand. During the estimate process, pay attention to how they handle customer service, how they treat you, and if they seem knowledgeable and ethical. This is all important information to have about a countertop service you're interested in.

2. Receive Comprehensive Pricing Information

When you need specific pricing information on the granite countertop you want installed, you'll need a comprehensive estimate. Getting an estimate can help you determine if moving forward with the installation project will be cost-effective for you. Assessing your current finances will also help you make a final decision on your contractor of choice.

3. Get Expert Advice

During the estimate process, you will also have an opportunity to speak with countertop experts about your particular project. These professionals may be able to offer you some much-needed advice concerning how you can maintain your new counters after installation. They may be able to advise you on how granite kitchen fixtures need to be cleaned. If you aren't a countertop expert yourself, you'll want this information to help you get the most out of your new countertops.
