"We were very happy with our basement remodeling project performed by Matt and his crew at MH Renovations. What you see is what you get when it comes to Matt. He is an honest and hardworking individual who will see your project through to the end. Prior to starting this project, we had absolutely no experience in the world of home renovations and we did not know quite what to expect. Matt walked us through each step of the process and educated us along the way. We became connected with Matt in 2014 through mere happenstance well before we ever knew what his profession was. I had responded to a Craigslist ad in hopes of purchasing a custom built Lego table for our children as a Christmas gift. The man building these tables was Matt. Over the course of a few weeks in the midst of our correspondence, our 2 year old son was diagnosed with cancer. Needless to say, we did not follow through with purchasing a table at that time. When he learned of our circumstances, his next move would instantly show us what a kind, generous, and good human being he was. Despite the fact that he had never met us in person, he built, donated, and delivered a hand-crafted Lego table to our son in the midst of his battle with cancer. Through that encounter, we learned that Matt owned a contracting business. We promised ourselves that Matt would be the first person we called when we were ready to look into finishing our basement - a project that was on our "home-owner wish list". Three years later we followed through on that promise and we called Matt. From the very first phone call until the last piece of the project was complete, Matt impressed us. We initially called Matt in the fall of 2017. He came out to our house in a timely manner and spent a significant amount of time drawing up plans and creating a detailed and itemized quote. He worked with us on various aspects of the proposal to create plans and drawings that fit both our existing space as well as our desires. Matt is truly an engineer who thinks outside of the box to come up with solutions that are both practical and efficient. We had to work around certain existing structures that made the design aspect tricky at times. Matt came up with great ideas to incorporate these aspects inconspicuously into the plans. We would be foolish as consumers to not seek additional estimates, therefore, we had two other contractors out to our home. Matt exceeded our expectations and blew the other two contractors out of the water when comparing design ideas, price/budget, as well as his overall responsiveness and effort put forth. All of the work done up until this point was free of charge. Matt had put in a great deal of time into his estimate and plans despite not even knowing if we would choose to work with him. His efforts paid off as we chose MH Renovations. In the weeks to follow Matt was extremely diligent in keeping in touch as he finalized plans and timelines. He was very accessible via text, phone or email and responded in a timely manner. At times Matt contacted us more than we contacted him. He would call with questions, information, and reminders on appointments. It was so refreshing! Matt was always on time and courteous in regards to respecting and working with our schedules. In March 2017 MH Renovations began framing the basement out. The framer (Trygve) was an absolute craftsman and Matt works exclusively with Trygve for this portion of his projects. Trygve worked tirelessly over the course of the next week to frame the entire basement. He would later return to complete all of the trim work needed throughout the basement which is beautiful and near perfection. Drywall was the next step. Matt warned us that drywall was a messy and somewhat unpleasant part of process. He was right. He got a crew in and out to complete the process as painlessly and as quickly as possible. The following weeks involved work with many different contractors to address plumbing, electric/lighting, and HVAC needs. Even during this phase Matt was often present and made daily visits to the job site. Matt has both a plumber and an electrician that he works exclusively with throughout all of his jobs. This put us at ease and made us feel comfortable allowing these sub contractors to come and go as they pleased even when we were not home. Can lighting, outlets, heating/AC vents and plumbing were on their way. Matt went the extra mile to add a few extra vents and can lights as the process was underway as he thought the space warranted them. He did this at no charge to us. We also encountered a plumbing issue along the way involving the our home's original drainage pipes. Matt and the plumber trouble-shot to give us several options to address the issue. The transparency in dealing with changes along the way was incredible. Whenever a change was made - we received updated paperwork reflecting the changes and the subsequent price adjustments so that we could keep tabs on where we were at with the budget. Next came the fun part - the finishes. Matt did a great job of presenting options to us from vendors that he worked regularly to assist with choosing cabinets, bathroom fixtures, wood stain colors, door choices, flooring options, and hardware. Despite offering us options that he was familiar with, he was also open to entertaining any outside options that we were interested in pursuing. For example, we debated about several shower options for our bathroom. The space was unique and the shower choices were somewhat limited. He spent several hours researching some of the options we asked about in order to help guide us toward a choice that would work best. We learned quickly that it is easy to get carried away in the midst of a renovation project in regards to spending. Matt did a wonderful job of keeping us grounded in our choices and being honest about how certain choices would dramatically change the bottom line price. Matt continued to stay one step ahead of us in all the planning and coordinating that went into the project. He had a great ability to formulate and maintain a schedule, thus keeping him within the proposed timeline, while still allowing us to make changes. At the 11th hour, we changed our mind on a cabinet configuration for our kitchen area and Matt made it happen for us. He was patient and understanding as we learned to navigate our way through this process. Flooring, paint and countertops were next on the docket. MH renovations does hard surface flooring, but not carpet. We used an independent carpet provider for the majority of our flooring needs. For the bathroom, Matt brought over various tile samples to choose from. His tile and grout work were great and we love how the floor turned out. The last flooring area was our workout space. Matt was used to working with a certain brand of foam tiles which at first we agreed to use. However, after doing some research, we decided that we wanted to go with a gym-grade flooring product with better shock absorption. We found this at a WI -based company in Milltown, WI. The only catch was that we were on a timeline and could not have it delivered to meet the deadline. We also did not have an appropriate vehicle to be able to pick it up ourselves. Matt took his own truck, picked up the flooring mats for us with the help of a colleague, and delivered them to the house. It was another example of how Matt is willing to go above and beyond to make the customer happy. The installation of counter-tops was an interesting hiccup in the process. Matt had long worked with a granite company that previously he had been very happy with. Following our granite installation, we noted that a large piece of granite was not supported with the appropriate brackets and thus presented a large safety concern. Unfortunately, the granite company denied any additional responsibility and despite Matt's best efforts to continually contact them, they refused to rectify the situation. Matt did not take this lightly. He researched the national natural stone governing body standards and verified that the granite slab indeed needed additional supports to adhere to safety standards. Matt met with several other gr"

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.
