What is the most expensive type of countertop?
Marble tops the most-expensive list due in large part to its elegant looks. The good: It will instantly lift your kitchen or bathroom to another level. The bad: It requires some regular maintenance to ensure its legacy. Plan on $75-$250 or more per square foot.
Is quartzite cheaper than granite?
Quartzite tends to be more expensive than it, with granite starting at roughly $50 per square foot. You get what you pay for, though; while quartzite and quartz both cost more, granite is the softest of the three. It's also quite porous and requires even more sealing than quartzite.
