## Frequently Asked Questions

> Full FAQ page with FAQPage schema: [https://www.surprisegranite.com/faq](https://www.surprisegranite.com/faq)

### How much do granite countertops cost in Phoenix?
Granite countertops in 2026 typically run $40–$100 per square foot installed in the Phoenix metro, depending on stone grade, edge profile, and project complexity. Average kitchen total: $3,000–$7,000.

### How much do quartz countertops cost in Phoenix?
Quartz countertops in 2026 typically run $55–$120 per square foot installed in the Phoenix metro. Average kitchen total: $3,500–$6,500. Premium brands like Silestone by Cosentino, Caesarstone, sit at the top of the range.

### How long does countertop installation take?
The full process from in-home estimate to final installation typically takes 7–10 business days. Templating happens within 5 days of slab selection; install is usually a single day.

### What's the difference between granite and quartz?
Granite is a natural stone quarried from the earth with unique patterns. Quartz is an engineered stone made from crushed quartz mixed with resins — non-porous, never needs sealing, and consistent across slabs. Quartz wins for low maintenance; granite wins for one-of-a-kind natural beauty.

### Do you offer free estimates?
Yes — free in-home estimates throughout the Phoenix metro. We bring samples, measure with a laser, and quote on the spot.

### Do you offer financing?
Yes — multiple financing partners including 0% APR options for qualified buyers. Monthly payment calculator on the financing page.

### How much does cabinet refacing cost vs new cabinets in Phoenix?
Refacing: $4,500–$9,000 for an average kitchen, ~3 weeks total. New custom cabinets: $20,000–$45,000, ~6–10 weeks. Refacing makes sense when the existing cabinet boxes are structurally sound (most 1990s+ kitchens).

### Do you do tub-to-shower conversions?
Yes — one of our most-requested services, especially in Sun City and Sun City West. Standard timeline: 5–7 days. Cost: $7,500–$14,000 depending on size and tile selection.

### What flooring works best in Arizona?
Three winners by room: 24x48 wood-look porcelain in main living areas (cool, scratch-proof, water-resistant — ideal for AZ heat), engineered hardwood or premium LVP in bedrooms (hardwood acclimates to dry climate; LVP is waterproof for kids/pets), and natural stone (travertine, slate, marble) in showers and accent walls.

### Can you handle West Valley HOA paperwork?
Yes — paperwork templated for RCSC (Sun City), PORA (Sun City West), Vistancia Community Association ARC, Estrella, PebbleCreek (Robson), Russell Ranch, and most other West Valley HOAs. We file ROC, COI, project drawings, and the timeline.

### What's included in countertop installation?
Digital laser templating, custom fabrication, sink cutouts, standard edge profile, professional installation, sealing (for natural stone), old countertop removal, and standard plumbing reconnection.

### Do you serve Sun City and Sun City West?
Yes — we are the closest-located major remodeler. 5 miles to Sun City (10 min drive), 8 miles to Sun City West (12 min). Refacing, walk-in showers, walk-in tubs, comfort-height vanities, and quartz counters are the dominant scopes there.
