"Our new screen enclosure is a haven! We are out there every day, with 3 cats, music, twinkly lights and nature all around (bundled in layers with temps now dipping into the 30s). Affordable Screen and Patio Enclosures made our wish come true, something we thought was out of reach. After meeting with several contractorsâ so many design options, techo-features, price tiers to choose fromâ we sat down out on our deck with Dave Maloney and knew Affordable was our choice. It wasnâ t because of price, folksy sales-speak, flashy literature, big promises. It was because our gut told us: integrity, commitment to quality. That was our introduction. With each subsequent interaction, whether it was Affordableâ s Jen on the phone answering our questions, in-person with Dave at the Kenosha showroom, emails and banter with installation crew led by Eric and Dan on-site, every exchange reinforced that these people know their stuff. Any job is going to have its peculiarities and ours was no exception. When a hiccup arose with code, Affordable quickly resolved the matter. When a surprise arose with the deck foundation, a creative solution was deployed and work continued uninterrupted. There may have been other wrinkles along the way, things homeowners are blind to, but this team is proactive and delivered to us a living space that feeds our soul after a long day at work. The crew was professional, friendly, respectful of our propertyâ and our neighborâ s. Iâ ve already recommended Affordable Screen and Patio enclosures to two people and will continue to sing their praises. Thank you, Dave, Jen and team!"

"I hired Mike to build a bathroom in my basement. I was impressed with Mike's professionalism, we spoke daily and he kept me abreast of what was going and next steps with the project. Mike, his crew, and subcontractors were all highly skilled and they did an amazing job on my new bathroom. I plan to use Mike for future projects and I would highly recommend him."

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.
