Caesar Stone Counter Tops

We waited patiently a couple of days for the estimate of our new Caesar Stone counter tops.  During which I called a few other sources and got ballpark quotes of $2900-$3500 based on the measurements taken. We braced ourselves and tried to come up with an alternative that made hubby and I as happy. Not much came to mind. Liking nice things has its drawbacks.

Well true to National Flooring Liquidations outlet pricing, Alfred came in at $2400, instead of $3000.  That’s for two counter tops and a back splash. Included in the price was the slab (from Israel) and fabrication (done locally). I picked a super cool edge cut… again, the most expensive. The certified fabricator did these by hand as well as cut out fabrication of the new sink.

After a quick con/ pro discussion about cost vs value, we agreed to go ahead with the Caesar Stone. Our rational was simple, if we had to do it, and could afford it, to do it right the first time. 
We’ve used National Flooring Liquidators for both the new floor and counter tops.
Here’s how the cost came out:

120 sq ft of Porcelain floor tile at $450 instead of $600.
101” x 24” counter top w/ sink, back splash and edging fabrication plus an additional
20” x 50” counter top with edging fabrication. 
Including installation…. Both counters at $2400 instead of $3000.
In total I saved $750 by going through National Flooring Liquidators.
We even have a large enough piece of Caesar Stone leftover for a possible bathroom vanity counter later on.

My contractor (Al Menendez) demo’d the old counters & sink, laid a new wood base, repaired the old wood trim and touched up the paint for an additional $200.
