Is Quartz Cheaper Than Granite?
Sometimes — but usually not the way people expect. Quartz and granite start at about the same baseline price in Atlanta. Granite tops out around $70 per square foot installed; quartz keeps climbing into the $90s once you get into statement brands like Cambria or Silestone. Twenty years of installing both tells us: at the entry level, they’re competitive. At the high end, quartz is the more expensive material, not the cheaper one. Cost-conscious customers we steer toward Viatera or Element from Stone Showcase, both designer-quality quartz at a fraction of Cambria pricing. Customers chasing a statement piece often pay more for branded quartz than they would for a mid-range granite.
