"They were on time and worked hard all day. There was one mistake made. They knew I was getting a new hood vent and the final measurements did not take into consideration that the new hood had different measurements than the old one. A new quartz backsplash had to be fabricated. They completed the project in one day. There was an issue with my flooring that I'm still waiting to be resolved. I don't know yet if I would hire them again."

"Zacarias Remodeling Construction did an amazing job on my brand new kitchen! I wanted my kitchen to be done before Christmas and they worked above and beyond to complete it! Oscar (the Owner) would come to see how the project was progressing and inspect the finished work and made sure if we had any concerns or questions. The workers are professional and hard workers!! They also made sure everything was clean before leaving for the day. Suzanne (Estimator/Designer) was there 100% of the time for questions, advice and opinion on the design. Awesome to work with! I am very happy with my kitchen and highly recommend them!"

"Two months ago I was looking for a company to help me with my flooring project and I wanted to find someone who could do it as soon as possible. Bayside Builders came as promised and gave me a great price for what I was asking them to do, which is install laminate wood floors throughout my house. The quality of service that this company provides is top notch and their craftsmanship is very impressive. If you want to work with a company that is professional and has great customer service, this is the one to call."

"I selected Geico Builders to paint the interior of my house and replace rotten wood in September 2023. Crew & project manager was friendly and professional, and they provided a good overview of the job and how the company may differ from other companies in regard to the preparation, staff assignment, and paint quality. Their estimate was slightly higher than my middle estimate but these areas mentioned earlier helped me in my decision. Plus to all they provided me with an estimate in a timely manner whereas several other companies either never provided their estimate or it came much later than discussed. I enjoyed working with the team. Renee, Tammy, and the Crew, who made this project move forward smoothly. I highly recommend Geico Builders for their hard work they want client to be happy with the final work and will keep working to address any concerns. The crew cleaned up so well each day my wife didn't even know that the painters had been there earlier. Highly recommend."

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.
