        "text": "Countertop replacement costs depend on material choice, square footage, slab thickness, and required cutouts. Basic materials like laminate or entry-level butcher block cost less, whereas natural granite, engineered quartz, marble, and quartzite represent mid-to-high tiers. Additional factors influencing the final estimate include edge profile selections, the number of cooktop and sink cutouts, removal and disposal of old tops, and plumbing disconnection and reconnection. Complex kitchen layouts with multiple seams or angled walls also require extra fabrication labor, which increases total project expenses.",
