Asbestos tiling in the basement...Part of me likes it, but the other part of me says holy crap don't walk run away!

Looking for advice on granite countertops that will look good with White cabinets, Agreeable Gray walls, and a beige-ish floor tile.

How much tile... floor, tub enclosure, halfway up the wall? 

All my guys that work for me (framer, siding, roofer, tile, kitchen, hvac, plumber..

Another town listed on your profile that I'm not familiar with, I see a pattern here!

I appreciate the feedback @JR Nieman , I am currently at $80/sq ft for the basic fixtures, granite countertops, vaulted ceilings, laminate wood, ceramic tile.

(figure product in the 2-3/Sq ft range, standard transitions)CERAMIC: $11.50/Sq ft with durarock (figure tile in the 2-3/Sq ft range, standard grade edging and transitions if applicable)A couple steps that might help you find a usable contractor:Retail stores will take you to the bank for flooring, typically. 

See a pattern developing?  

For example, sometimes if you look at the listing history for a stale listing, you can see a pattern ... as in, the seller/agent has reduced the list price by $10k every month it doesn't sell for the last 3 months ... then, if you see a pattern like that you can get a feel for if/when it will get down to the ballpark it needs to be price wise ... make a mental note to check back around then, and you can then put an offer in the night before you expect them to drop their price again, with the anticipated price drop, plus an additional smaller price drop to get you a great deal ...

I know you didn't have insurance, but this can be a guideline for labor costs.I would recommend the use of 100% ceramic tile for flooring (or maybe even stained concrete) since you are self-insuring.
