How much does a granite kitchen cost?

There are many variables that determine the price of a granite installation.  Pacific Stoneworks tells customers that the range of cost per square foot is very broad, based on variables such as type of stone, edge detail, type and number of sinks, amount of hand work, special installation needs, etc., so we prefer to give exact estimates which include all the variables.  Contractors who do not calculate those variables and who quote strictly by the square foot, too often become disgruntled when learning that a customer’s specific needs or requirements go beyond the limits of the square foot estimate.  This could affect customer satisfaction.
