"I hired Manuel of D Soto Stone to remodel 3 bathrooms, kitchen, living room, the den/office, laundry Room, & my bar. They were outstanding from start to finish & the tile work fit & finish was impeccable. Manuel was very professional, respectful, & attentive to every detail. He coordinated everything and worked seamlessly with my cabinet makers, shower door and mirror installers, plumber and electrician. They made most of the remodel while I was out of state & I felt perfectly secure & grew a trust with Manuel. They brought my vision to life while offering creative, cost-effective solutions to challenges that popped up. The project was completed on time and within budget. They kept workspaces clean and organized every single day. Working with Manuel was a great experience and was incredibly communicative throughout the entire process, providing daily updates and quickly responding to any questions I had. I highly recommend Manuel of D Soto Stone & would definitely hire him again."

"Our water heater started leaking on Sunday. Isaac responded to our query within minutes. He rearranged his schedule to be here early Monday morning. He arrived on schedule and our water heater was installed and functioning by noon. He is not only professional, fair and knowledgeable but a great guy."

"TDC (Garrett and his crew) did an excellent job. I had major renovations to my cabin.. new railing, deck, siding, roof ridge, stairs, to painting and misc stuff came up…. One of my favorites was the cover he built to hide the meters….. They were professional, kept the site clean, punctual and very accommodating. I could not be there, so Garrett took daily videos and explained the work that was done. He consistently communicated on the status and overall completed the job as planned. I am very happy with the results….. the entire neighborhood is in awe!! I highly recommend TDC!! (Photos are too large to post)"

"Dealing with contractors is never easy, and Ben is no pushover, but with very few exceptions, Ben and his crew do what they say they are going to do when they say they are going to do it, and they do it very well. What else can you really ask for from contractors. He's organized and a person of integrity. I liked that he sent a Google chart with supplies to purchase that we could work together that helped me figure out what kind of parts and tiles to purchase. Great experience and our bathrooms are amazing."

"Allwyn was incredible and the only consistently effective and efficient aspect of our remodel. We added a bedroom to our townhouse and Allwyn made it easy, fast, and has an eye for detail that was above and beyond what we expected. He has an eye for details that made the reno completely match the previous townhouse details. He also corrected several mistakes that were made by other vendors, such as where we purchased the windows/doors from, and fixed it before it added any costs and delays to us. Additionally, we had some massive delays due to our inept HOA but Allwyn was able to work around those delays and put in some insane hours to get the renovation completed before our new baby was born. He made the entire process so much better and was easy to work with during the entire process. Can't recommend him and his company enough!"

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.
