        "text": "Countertop installation costs depend mainly on the square footage, material selection, edge profiles, and cutouts required for sinks or cooktops. Standard laminate or butcher block sits on the lower end of the budget spectrum, while quartz, granite, and quartzite require a larger investment due to material costs and custom fabrication. Additional factors that influence your overall estimate include tear-out and disposal of old counters, unlevel cabinet adjustments, and specialty seam placement.",
