Reference Answer

Because it's DIY-friendly, a homeowner skilled in basic carpentry can save money by purchasing soapstone slabs and doing the installation. Raw soapstone slabs range in price from $45 to $85 per square foot, depending on where the stone was quarried and its talc content (lower talc content—and a harder surface—is usually more expensive).

Professional installation can raise the cost an additional $50 to $65 per square foot, bringing the total for professionally installed soapstone countertops to between $95 and $150 per square foot. Thicker slabs (standard thickness is 1 ? inch), such custom add-ons as grooved drainage boards, and elaborate edge profiles will add to the final cost. As a comparison, quartz and granite countertops, both of which require professional installation, can run as high as $200 per square foot, installed.
