How To Install Laminate Countertops

How much will my laminate countertop cost? 

  Now prices for laminate countertops can range from $3 per linear square foot to over $100 per linear square foot depending on look, pattern, color, texture, edging and other options.  This can lead to your material costs ranging anywhere from $600-$3000 dollars.   Adding in installation costs if your going to contract the project out and you could be looking at an additional $20-30 dollars per linear foot.   If you are doing your own home improvement projects then you need to add the cost of any equipment or supplies you will need.  This is relatively inexpensive you can pick up almost everything you need from your local home improvement store for a few hundred dollars assuming you don’t have any of the equipment or supplies already.

So how do I calculate my home improvement budget?

• Measure your countertop to see how many Linear Square Feet you will need to cover.
• Choose you laminate countertop sheet and record the price per linear square foot.

For self-installation multiply (Linear Square Feet * Price per Linear square foot).

If contracting out your project use the following to estimate your budget.

(Linear Square Feet * [Price per linear square foot + $25.00])

*Of course costs will change depending on the rate you agree on with your contractor.

This should give you a good gage on how much your new countertop will cost.  I wish you the best of luck with your home improvement adventure.
