[quote=FlyerInHi] I was at a Chinese owned granite store in Vegas. They sell slabs for $120 and up ($79 holiday special) That’s cheaper than Formica. There aren’t too many choices and everything is pre manufactured. So many colors are bullnose only and you can’t get it any other way. But prices are cheap so there’s no reason not to have granite countertops.

Have you used them before?

I used Home Depot a few months ago for new granite kitchen counters at $35 a square foot installed. I am very happy with the result. They only had 5 colors at that price, but I found a dark green one that I liked.

I actually have five different bathrooms in two houses that all could use some nice new counters, and two of them could use new showers.

I know you say you want your properties to feel like high end hotels. I like my living spaces more rustic, but that sounds perfect for bathrooms, with new metal fixtures and polished stone everywhere, perhaps with double shower heads, a steam feature, and side water jets.
