DIY vs. Hiring a Pro to Install Corian Countertops

When installing Corian® countertops, labor will cost $50 to $80 per square foot. Those attempting DIY will spend between $26 and $60 per square foot on materials. You’ll also need to purchase tools and supplies. We recommend hiring a local Corian® contractor, especially because the risk of making an expensive error is high.

Here’s when you should hire a pro for Corian® countertop installation:

• You’re working on counters with complex layouts, seams, or integrated sinks.

• The project is large (like a kitchen island).

• You want invisible seams.

• It involves backsplashes, wall cladding, or waterfall edges.

• You want to preserve the manufacturer’s warranty.

• You want to minimize the likelihood of costly mistakes.

• You’re not comfortable working with the tools or materials. 

While hiring a countertop pro near you is recommended, you might attempt DIY in the following cases:

• The project is small and simple (like a tiny laundry room countertop).

• You're using pre-cut Corian® slabs or kits.

• You have access to the proper tools and experience working with similar materials.

• You’re confident in handling seams and adhesive bonding.

• You don’t mind minor imperfections and not having a warranty. 

Tips to Reduce Costs While Installing Corian Countertops

Looking for ways to cut down on Corian® countertop installation costs? Follow these tips for potential savings.

• Shop around: You can save money when installing Corian® counters by comparing prices from different suppliers. Get price quotes from multiple sources to find the best bang for your buck.

• Install in the fall and winter: Late fall and winter are ideal times to find good deals on Corian® countertop purchases and installations. Wait for the off-season to potentially reduce the overall cost to install countertops by around 10 to 15%.

• DIY what you can: You may be able to save money by doing some of the finishing touches yourself, like adding a backsplash, which costs $10 to $50 per square foot for professional installation.

• Think about finishes: Consider a matte or satin finish ($30 to $40 per square foot) over semi-gloss or high-gloss, which can cost $40 to $60 per square foot or more.

• Choose a standard style: By selecting a standard Corian style instead of a premium style, you can avoid spending 50% to 100% more on material costs.

• Avoid edging upgrades: Opt against upgraded countertop edging, which costs $10 to $35 per linear foot.

• Watch the thickness: Thicker Corian® countertops will be 30 to 60% more than thinner ones, so avoid them whenever possible.

• Select colors wisely: Choose a white or gray countertop ($17 to $44 per square foot) instead of a very dark or bright countertop ($60 to $80 per square foot). Dark colors fall somewhere in the middle for pricing.
