travertine in San Francisco
Regional pricing intelligence for San Francisco, CA.
Material $35-$80 per sq ft
Installed $90-$180 per sq ft
Labor $45-$70 per sq ft
Price drivers: Travertine slab countertops command Bay Area labor premiums of 20-30% above the national $35-$45/hr baseline; slab travertine fabrication is more demanding than tile due to the stone's natural voids requiring grouting or resin-filling before polishing; limited local slab yard inventory in the Bay Area (primarily Evolv Surfaces in Berkeley) means some projects require sourcing from SoCal distributors, adding freight; filled and polished finishes add $10-$20/sqft over honed.
