"My husband and I hired Chris and his crew to install granite countertops, new sink, new faucet and new backsplash just before the New Year, in late December 2016. We experienced absolutely excellent service at every turn. Chris is fantastic with communication. If you send a text you get an immediate response whether it be early morning, day or evening. Chris was very pleasant and positive, he created an enthusiastic exchange. If you didn't know better you'd think he was as excited about our kitchen as we were! He had photos and great suggestions as to choosing the granite color, which was a nice surprise. Typically contractors don't want to get involved in décor choices. He only made suggestions when asked and didn't interfere with our decision making or try to persuade us to go with product x or y, which was great. What is truly amazing is that he did absolutely everything he said he would do exactly when he said he would do it. We never waited around and there never was a break in the project. Once we agreed on the particulars and the pricing he took action immediately. The subcontractors who worked with him were definitely top notch individuals. No slackers here, no one was rude or disrespectful and they were very knowledgeable in their respective fields. Very nice individuals to have in our home. Nothing went missing, no sloppy messes. They left things as they found them. I could not believe there was almost no mess whatsoever with the tile backsplash when we had this done after our old countertop was removed. The contents of our cabinets were exposed for a few days but you would hardly know. Really a very clean and neat crew. As for budget Chris was very up front. He suggested possible additional costs we might run into and by the time the project was said and done we were very happy. The project was pricey but it was top quality stuff, we got our money's worth and we definitely feel he treated us fairly at every turn. I will also mention that there was one opportunity for us to run into trouble but we did not. The kitchen faucet began to loosen on the first day post project. This was after we'd paid the final bill. We contacted Chris and he sent someone out right away to make the correction. (I think the granite sink we chose created challenges for the installation.) However, the next day I came home to find the faucet in perfect position and we've had no trouble since. I doubt you can have a big project without a correction on something but you always worry about getting attention after the bill is paid. Not so with Chris. Everything was installed exactly as we asked. The granite was the thickness which was represented. The sink installation fantastic. I even waited a few weeks to write this review to see how things would turn out. I can't say enough about the quality of this transaction. We just love Chris and we have an outstanding change and effect for what really was a partial remodel. Really a fant"

"Many years ago, my husband and I hired a general contractor to build a one story in-law apartment four our daughter and her family, and the experience was a disaster. We worried about a repeat when our home was extensively damaged by the record snowfall of 2014-2105. The insurance company required us to gut the kitchen and bathroom and replace everything except the cabinets. Through Angie's List, we found an alternative to a GC, a company that placed us in charge of the project in a way that gave us control over all decisions regarding products, labor, schedule, and scope. The president of the company, iCornerstone, is Richard Connolly, and we hired him to develop designs and labor and material specifications, submit them for competitive bids, establish the project cost and timelines, and coordinate the work once construction began. Richard's services rely heavily on a computer for communication and documentation, and we had almost no experience with technology. With his steady guidance and coaching, we managed fairly well. It was easy to access all the specifications, designs, and progress pictures Richard posted to DropBox, and his daily project updates or phone calls kept us in the know. At first, we were hesitant to be the GC because we are retired, on fixed income, and in our mid-seventies, but Richard was by our side every step of the way. I am very much hands-on, and Richard encouraged my active participation. A GC would provably accuse me of micro-managing or being difficult to work with. We could have hired anyone or purchased materials anywhere but decided to use the network of resources Richard referred to us. The workmanship of the subcontractors was excellent, but two had to be prodded to provide invoices. It was frustrating because the insurance company required evidence of payment before our settlement could be released, and the clock was winding down. Richard helped us resolve the situation by providing the insurance company with detailed costs for the project, which was done in two phases and included work beyond our claim. He persuaded the company to increase its estimate of the insulation costs because the building code would not allow us to replace the original fiberglass batts. Everything Richard said he would do, he did, which was not always the case with the plumbing company and the vanity and countertop supplier, especially when it came to the schedule or accommodating changes I wanted. Richard volunteered to cut sink holes in the bathroom vanities and kitchen counter tops to help the plumber and avoid delays or inconvenience to us. He even made, installed, and painted adjustable shelving in a closet and never charged for any physical work he did. Despite a few issues, I am thrilled with the result, and the project did not go over budget. The time it took was another matter, and one delay was at our request while others were caused by some contractors being unavailable when we needed them. Our space is beautiful and inviting, and Richard's suggestion that we raise the low kitchen ceiling to create a cathedral ceiling changed the overall feeling of the room. I cannot imagine a more ethical, professional, and cost-effective solution than iCornerstone and highly recommend Richard. We saw firsthand his commitment to us, love for his work, and passion for his company."

"I hired Bob to install a new induction range, replacing a cooktop and cutting some of the stone countertop. He also replaced the existing hood vent with an over-the-range microwave. He was very knowledgeable and was able to do all of the work involved by himself. (Two other people that I spoke with could only do one part of the work and had no idea who could help me with the other parts.) Bob knew exactly what needed to be done and gave me a quote that was very reasonable. He worked with us to figure out how to make it look like everything had originally been installed that way. He showed up on the days he promised and let us know when he was running late (he was only 15 minutes late). He was really easy to work with, extremely knowledgeable, and my wife absolutely loved the final result!"

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.
