"Owner, Noah Garvey and team was on the job every day replacing old deck and with multiple repair & paint projects around on the house - even through a stint of 90 degree weather. Excellent work. I found Noah professional, knowledgeable and importantly, honest, fair and accommodating to my needs. Definitely a good hire."

"We had to put s stairlift I'm my parents house. These guys were great. We were worried about the tight fit of my parents stairs. This was not a problem at all. They explained everything in great detail to my parents on the operation and use. It was a stairlift or sell our family home. Highly recommend!"

"Buckland came out to survey the job, sat with me to explain what would be done, and how - and what materials they would use. Then they came on time the day the said they would; their workmanship was top-notch, and professionally completed on a timely basis all for a very reasonable price. I would absolutely use Buckland again for any household/home repair work."

"They are true to their company's name - dedicated craftsmen. They do beautiful work and for a very reasonable price. They built two porches - one on the front and one in the back, (with unschedule replacement of the two rotting pillars) and quite a large patio. The yard is on a very slight decline and Vilson leveled the patio. I was impressed. I loved working them and would recommend them for any stone and masonry work."

"This is my first remodel and I didnâ t know what to expect. Building Concepts made it seem easy and my new kitchen is beyond my expectations. Jason, the project manager, checked progress of every step, was always available for questions and was a huge help when making choices for countertops, backsplash, etc. The craftsmen were excellent and polite. I would give them a 10+ rating if I could."

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.
