Countertops in Skye Ranch
Most Skye Ranch new-construction kitchens ship with builder-grade granite or entry-level quartz — and the single highest-leverage cosmetic upgrade after closing is often a counter swap. Installed cost in Sarasota runs $65–$110 per sq ft for quartz, $55–$95 for granite, $90–$160 for quartzite (the harder, premium cousin to marble), and $80–$140 for marble. Confirm template-to-install turnaround (typically 7–14 days), sink and faucet hole inclusion, edge profile, and seam location in writing. For an L-shaped kitchen budget 55–75 sq ft installed; islands add 25–45 sq ft.

Usually yes if it's a standard cutout. Always confirm with the fabricator before they cut — re-cuts are expensive.
Quartz for durability and zero maintenance dominates in new-construction upgrades. Quartzite is the premium pick for design-forward kitchens.
