Soapstone has been used for thousands of years in art and architecture, but today it is growing in popularity as a material for kitchen and bathroom countertops. <\/p>\n

Like granite, soapstone is a natural stone. But it is softer than granite, and it tends to be darker, available largely in shades of blue, green and gray. Soapstone has a unique look that appeals to homeowners who are looking to create a distinctive space.<\/p>\n

Cost of Soapstone Countertops <\/h4>\n

Soapstone is comparable in price to granite. Typically, expect to pay about $75 to $100 per square foot, including installation. High-end soapstone or custom jobs can reach $150 per square foot or more. <\/p>\n

Keep in mind that price is also impacted by factors such as your geographic location and the current availability of soapstone. Installation costs vary from one contractor to another, although it\u2019s probably worth the extra money to hire someone with significant experience. Otherwise, you risk damage to the stone. <\/p>\n
