On behalf of the largest countertop manufacturer in the Pittsburgh area I would like to add a few thoughts to this article. It defiantly brings up some great questions to ask who you are working with and what their procedures are. You may find that some of these 12 ways will actually INCREASE your cost. It is always important be cautious of extremely low costs, chances are you aren't comparing apples to apples when it comes to the quality of fabrication.

Another tip for saving money on counters: go with prefabricated counter pieces. I was able to get marble for my counters and island at a fraction of the cost this way. :)
