1 Slab granite countertops--solid pieces of granite custom cut to the width and shape of a countertop -- cost $60-$100 per square foot depending on the color and rarity of the granite, the style of edging. 2  Expect to pay $1,800-$3,000 for a typical kitchen, installed.
Supplies and tools run between $200 and $230, bringing the total cost for around 50 square feet to between $800 and $1,000.
