Frequently asked questions

Does NailIt include labor costs?

No. NailIt shows materials only—the cost of stone, adhesive, grout, sealers, and tools you buy yourself. Since you're doing the work, labor is free.

What affects the price of stone countertop materials?

Stone type (granite is pricier than engineered stone), slab size, edge treatments, and whether you need additional bracing. Larger counters and exotic stone finishes cost more.

Do I need special tools to install stone countertops myself?

Yes. You'll need a wet saw, level, measuring tape, and safety gear. Many DIYers rent a wet saw ($30–$60/day) rather than buy one—factor that into your budget.
