I also won't go for grantite countertops, but something in stone I will do, maybe quartz.

My houses wont pass a section 8 inspection , they dont have granite countertops . 

Other than the Roof, Countertops, and some plumbing and electrical work.

Huge deck, walk over to the beach, gorgeous Gulf and ship channel view, TWO master bedrooms, custom made cabinets & entertainment center, Cindy Crawford signature furniture, stainless steel appliances, blue pearl granite counter tops, wood look alike ceramic tiles for long lasting, top of the floor is on 18.4' elevation, over sized capacity Maytag W/D, 65' smart TV with 200 watt sound bar, owner's private closets to keep your stuffs when you rent it out, underground power line, very large parking lot, soft bright lights around upper deck & ground level for your late evening entertainment.

In addition, door and window frames can shift, as well as cabinets and counter tops.

I figured it would be higher than $960, typically the cost for granite counter tops I see are more in the 1.2 to 1.5k range.THanks

There's wallpaper behind the counter top now and I'd prefer go right over it.

My contractor referred this guy to me two years ago and I've used him ever since.Also, some areas have places that specialize in just counter tops.

Nothing wrong with showing a picture of a surface crack and crying "possible foundation issues" or pics of ugly floors or countertops-Keep in mind in Texas the assessed value has ZERO to do with the market value so the higher the value only means the more property taxes you pay.

Property is in a B neighborhood and was recently renovated with new granite counter tops, tile through-out, fresh paint and new appliances.
