"Victor was very professional. I have an older wonky kitchen and he was able to make everything work and it looks wonderful. Every time an issue would arise, he would rise to the occasion and figure out how to solve it. Would hire him again in a minute."

"My husband and I just had our Masterbath remodeled by Calco Design. The entire team starting with the quotes and design recommendations by Paul were very professional. Darryl and Drew were the main contractors from the team we worked with. They were very detail oriented and flexible when changes needed to be made. They arrived on time each day and finished with vacuuming and cleaning up after themselves at the end of everyday. Darryl really went the extra mile with all the finishing touches he helped us with. Coming over the weekend and through snow storms to make sure our bathroom would be finished on time. I would highly recommend this locally owned business for your next remodeling project!"

"OK in general. The work was delayed a lot by the weather. The rotten top two 2x4 beams (10 feet long) were removed and replaced and primer placed on the bare wood during the first visit. That part of the job was excellent. When it came time to paint the new wood, the worked thought he was to do the carpentry work first. He noted it was done and offered to paint the entire trellis. He used a roller then a brush, but it was blue on blue, and I couldn't tell if anything was not painted. However it was clear he did not cover the white primer on the new wood well at all. There were multiple white areas showing. This could not be seen at eye level, but was glaringly obvious as you went up the stairs to our front porch, and was easily seen from the porch. I reported this to the manager, and she sent out a professional to finish the job correctly."

"Blue Mountain Building and Remodeling, Inc. was extremely professional and did an excellent job on our basement remodel. Jason is a stand-up guy and takes pride in the quality of work his company does. It is rare to see a contractor that is as excited as the customer to see the finished result, which Jason was. The project started on the date he said it would and actually finished 1 week early! The guyâs Jason has working for him are just as professional and take great care in doing fantastic work. They arrived everyday on time and completely cleaned the area at the end of each day, before leaving. There were several times when they would come and get us to review a possible change and make some suggestions when they felt necessary, which really helped us along the way. These are the extras that mean so much when completing a big home project. We will definitely hire Blue Mountain for future projects and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them for any home project, regardless of size and scope."

"Martin and his team remodeled my super large basement and they did such magnificent job that we want to spend all day there. It has become the most beautiful part of our house, and the most entertaining, with our ping pong table, games, beds for guests and what not. The job went impeccably and we never had a hint of dust in the house. I recommend Martin Hartel without a blink!! A real Máster of his specialty (basements)"

"There is so much to say I do not know where to begin, but Don Jones, knows his stuff. He went above and beyond to explain everything in detail from A-Z and made sure you understood everything presented on the table. He showed delight in his products shown to me and explained how the installation would take place and what each piece was for. I was more then satisfied with what I saw and heard. Long Roofing was hired on the spot. Mr. Jones was very effective and efficient and was down to earth and honest and open for questions, concerns and answers. Out of all my encounters with Reps from other companies for other reasons, Don Jones is the best."
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.
