Corian Countertops

I'm currently having a house built and the builder gave me a quote of $1100 to upgrade the corian. I already received a package that comes with "level one corian" but the colors sucked so I went to "level two". $1100 just seems really high. Does anyone know how much it should cost?
 
Colored Corian is expensive. When we did our re-model, we just ended up getting granite because there was not that much difference in the Corian we would have wanted and granite.
 
$1100 sounds steep for an upgrade but perhaps that's correct. Builders generally like to take on a little additional gross profit to ANY change from the original contract if at all possible.

Hell sounds like you really ought to check on granite.
 
This is my business. Granite prices are very comparable to Corian. Just make sure if you go that way, your builder is giving you a 2" slab, and not a one inch, with a glued on bullnose.
 
Dupont (Corian) virtually "gives away" the whites and almond colors of Corian as "leader" items making it very difficult for competition (other solid surfacing mfgs.) to survive in the marketplace.
I'd suggest natural granite as well. Much better looking in my opinion.
 
Just like Tennhorn said, hard to beat silestone. We went with it and have been pleased. Home Depot is even running a 10% off on Granite and silestone right now.
 
Corian (installed) runs about $40-$50 per sq. ft + ~$300 per bowl/sink. Most bathroom counters are 22" deep, so square footage is a simple calculation from there.

1100 as an upgrade from whatever you've already paid for is way overpriced.
 
You'd probably save money if you had the builder install Formica and then had Home Depot install silestone or granite after you close. Don't let the builder line his pocket on your "upgrades".
