"We replaced our kitchen countertops and bathroom vanity counter. From quote to installation, OC completed the job in less than a month. They recommended a plumber to handle the faucets & other kitchen plumbing. They advised us on benefits of using quartz versus granite. Their pricing was also competitive."

"Jeff Veglia recently did a complete 'down-to-the studs' kitchen remodeling for us. Right from the starting estimate to the conclusion of the job, he has been a true professional. He was clear about the process involved, always courteous and available to answer questions. The cabinetry company that he worked with made the complicated process of choosing cabinet color and styles, countertops, backsplashes and fixtures very smooth for us. The work was completed on time and on budget, and any additional work we requested was priced fairly. Jeff always ensured we knew what to expect as he managed the different components of the job and the crew who were working on our project. He and his team members were very responsive to any issues that came up along the way. I want to specially mention that he has a wonderful team, who were not only expert professionals, but also friendly and pleasant. We are happily enjoying our beautiful, new kitchen and will gladly recommend the services of Jeff Veglia to any homeowner for potential projects."

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.
