"The carpenter that did the job (Adam) was amazing. He had to expand the space for one window, narrow the space for another, and repair much cedar siding that had rotted away due to water damage. He also reshaped my patio door so it would close and lock more easily. He is a very talented carpenter and I have no qualms about highly recommending him."

"I contacted The Builders &Cleaners of CT for a gutter cleaning. I was able to get an appointment for the very next day of my phone call. Initially I didn?t get an answer and I?m not big on leaving messages for a service but David promptly returned my call. He was pleasant and accommodating and I was able to get an appointment the next day. They showed up as scheduled and was quick and thorough. They even provided pictures of the finished work. I will recommend and use The Builders & Cleaners of CT again."

"I am so glad that we found Ben! He replaced our ugly old front steps & walkway with beautiful stone and pavers. I am beyond satisfied with the work he and his crew did. Pricing is extremely fair, and Ben takes such pride in his work and makes sure everything is perfect. I am already looking forward to using him again to redo my back steps and install a new patio."

"We have been working with Cecy Gillen Designs for a full year now and have only positive things to say! We started out with a relatively small job updating and remodeling our primary bathroom and walk-in closet. Not only was Cecy's quote reasonable from a cost standpoint, but she was also so helpful with choosing fixtures, tile, paint/stain colors, closet design, etc. Not only is Cecy a very capable and organized business owner, she is also a talented, creative designer. Similarly, her team of craftsmen and painters are very professional; they care about the quality of their work and always leave the workspace as clean and orderly as possible overnight. As time went on, our project kept expanding to include every room in the house! There is hardly a task that Cecy cannot tackle, and she is always quick to respond to any request. We highly recommend Cecy Gillen Designs for all home refinishing and repair."

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.
