Countertop Remnants in Elk Grove Village, Illinois
A remnant is the piece of granite, quartz or marble left over after a shop cuts a kitchen. Shops sell them for 30 to 60 percent less than full slab prices, and one remnant is enough for a vanity, a small island or a bar top. These are the countertop shops in and around Elk Grove Village. Call and ask what they have in your size.

What a remnant costs
Expect $15 to $60 per square foot for the stone, depending on the material, plus $25 to $50 per square foot if the shop cuts, edges and installs it. These are broad US figures, not local prices.
Example: a 49 by 22 inch vanity top
- Size
- 7.5 sq ft
- Stone
- $112 to $449
- Cutting and install
- $187 to $374
- Total
- $299 to $823
Some shops have a minimum job charge that can push a very small piece above this.
What fits on a remnant
| Project | Typical size | Square feet |
|---|---|---|
| Bathroom vanity | 25 to 61 in long, 22 in deep | 4 to 10 |
| Small kitchen island | 36 to 60 in long, 25 to 36 in deep | 6 to 15 |
| Bar or coffee station | 30 to 60 in long, 18 to 25 in deep | 4 to 10 |
| Laundry room counter | 50 to 70 in long, 25 in deep | 9 to 12 |
| Desk or table top | 40 to 60 in long, 24 to 30 in deep | 7 to 13 |
| Fireplace hearth or shelf | Up to 60 in long, 8 to 20 in deep | 2 to 8 |
A full kitchen almost never works. Most remnants are under 20 square feet, and two remnants will not match.
How to buy a remnant
- 1
Measure the finished size
Length and depth in inches, plus any sink or faucet holes. Add an inch if the top overhangs the cabinet.
- 2
Call the shops near you
Ask what remnants they have in your size and material. Stock changes every week, so the phone beats any website.
- 3
See the piece in person
Check it for cracks, chips and stains, and check the color in daylight. Photos hide a lot.
- 4
Ask what the price covers
A remnant price is often the stone only. Cutting, edging, the sink cutout and installation can be extra.
- 5
Get it in writing and put a hold on it
Good remnants sell fast. Ask the shop to tag the piece with your name once you agree a price.
Tell shops what you need
Describe the piece once. We pass it to SlabWise partner shops within 60 miles of you. Not every area has a partner shop yet, so call the shops listed above as well.
