"We hired Farzad to demo a bedroom in our house that had some old paneling and popcorn plaster ceiling. He installed new drywall in the entire room, added some electrical outlets, installed new trim, a new window, new door and LVP flooring. He did an amazing job! I can’t say enough good things about him. He was professional, courteous, fair, and respectful of our home from start to finish. He went above and beyond our expectations. We will definitely be hiring him for more jobs in the future and would recommend him to anyone looking for work to be done!"

"Highly recommend using them for your home projects. They replaced multiple failing concrete stairs and porch with wood stairs and porch, did a fantastic job. Also fixed a plumbing issue we were having. The total cost was more than fair. We will definitely be contacting them for any other projects that we need done and will be recommending them to our family and friends."

"Just too expensive for what you get. Feels like a big company nickel and dime move. I get having a trip charge. Which was $109. But then to have the tech who was great btw (not his fault), but was tentative about fixing the problem because of creating more damage. Another $160 for a simple diagnostic charge, again without fixing the problem. I already knew the diagnosis. So he basically did a Band-Aid fix (greased the Knob) and still charged me over $280+ for what equated to be 10 minutes of work. It was ridiculously high for the service provided. Next time I?m going to an independent, local guy."

"Home advisor review system has too narrow a project focus to accurately categorize the excellent work that Green With Envy Construction Services did for us today. There was no siding work involved, but that is the closest category we thought to use for installation of two exterior entry doors. Joe and his crew are extremely efficient and creative when it comes to making something 'fit' in a space that is a little less than anticipated. You would never know it wasn't an exact fit. They are courteous and involve the homeowner when decisions need to be made, and they explain how things are being done. This is not something you get from every individual hired to perform a job that is beyond your own capabilities. The job was completed in much less time than I expected, including total cleanup of the work areas. I would recommend Green With Envy Construction Services without hesitation to anyone in need of their services."

Butcher block countertops come in three main styles, each offering a unique look and function. Flat grain, also known as face grain, showcases the natural wood patterns, giving your kitchen a modern and elegant appearance. Edge grain is made from long, narrow wood strips, making it sturdy and providing a consistent grain pattern. End grain features a checkerboard pattern that is highly durable and perfect for heavy food preparation. Each style caters to different aesthetic preferences and usage needs, enhancing your kitchen's look and functionality.
With proper care, wood countertops can last anywhere from 20 to 100 years. To keep yours looking like new, clean up spills immediately and reseal the surface regularly—ideally once a month in the first year, then twice a year after that. Regular maintenance helps preserve the wood's beauty and durability for decades.
Wood countertops aren't hard to maintain if you keep up with regular care. Simply clean them with mild soap and water after use and reseal them monthly during the first year (then twice a year afterward). Using a food-grade oil or sealant protects the wood from damage. With a bit of routine maintenance, your countertop will stay beautiful and durable.
Wood countertops are sanitary with proper care and maintenance. By sealing them with a food-grade sealant and cleaning them regularly with mild soap and water, you create a barrier that prevents bacteria from getting into the wood. Always dry the surface thoroughly after cleaning to keep it hygienic and safe for food prep.
It's best to oil raw wood countertops once a month during the first year. After that, you can oil them twice yearly to keep them in good shape. If your countertop is professionally stained or sealed, you might not need to oil it as often. Regular oiling helps prevent drying and cracking, preserving the wood's natural beauty and durability.
