"After years of painting our home it was time to move up to a better solution. After searching the Better Business Bureau for local companies Krumwiede Home Pros stood out. They were top rated with 0 complaints. We were even able to initiate contact for a quote through the BBB. Michael was our salesperson and he was upfront and honest in capabilities and pricing. The pricing was so great we even upgraded to an insulated vinyl siding and we were still under what others quoted. We then met with Ross the production manager who went over every aspect of the job with us. This was great because we worked out any issues ahead of time. There were no surprises and we were all on the same page. The 2 gentlemen who came to do the work were great also. They showed up on time and worked hard everyday. They never left a mess and were easy to communicate with. We are very happy with the whole experience and our house looks awesome! Thanks Krumwiede Home Pros we are happy we met you!"

"Pricey, job took too long-longer than I was told. And I'm cleaning up paint splatters on a new quartz countertops, doors & found a tiny ding in one countertop. No dropcloths or protection used on quartz. Trades man who worked on kitchen was good, but they started him on another job before finishing mine and he rushed taking short cuts. Was told I'd get a credit for a difference in paint used-never happened. The credit amt is not a lot but it's the principal & was also in contract. Which happened once before when I used them for my bathroom reno last yr. Once is a mistake, twice is a pattern. Yet they are very quick at coming for a check before due date. Seems like they are less about customer service & satisfaction these days and more about the money."

"We wanted new flooring, counters, sink and the wall prepared for a new backsplash. Glen installed the new Cortec vinyl flooring. Jody and Brian removed the ceramic counters and backsplash. Our flooring, new quartz countertop, sink and faucet were installed to our gratification. They came back to hook up our new dishwasher and waterline for our icemaker. Terry, Jody, Brian and Glen were always accommodating and pleasant."

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.
