"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!"

"Roger and team were GREAT!!! Roger went out of his way several times to make sure the project ran on time, was the best it could be and even added in some things I hadn't thought of on his own (no cost). We redid the floors, lighting, paint, fixtures and vanity (which required plumbing work) in our hall bathroom and it took a little less than two weeks. He even helped us save the height measurements we had marked on one wall for our 3 kids by finding the perfect size board to transfer it to before we had to paint over it. There was a snafu with our tile delivery (tile company's fault) and Roger drove all the way to San Leandro to get it for us so we wouldn't stall on the work. He stayed in constant contact and was incredibly responsive. I would absolutely hire him again. Anyone would be lucky to get his time and team for a project."

"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.
