"Blue Fin Construction, lead by Vitaly with Andre, demolished and disposed of my old wooden 780. sqft deck and replaced it with an 800 sqtf new deck with Trex decking. They did an excellent job. The job site was always clean and the new deck was stronger. They consulted with us often and had many good suggestions. They stayed on budget. Again an excellent job. We are very happy."

"I hired them to replace a old concrete driveway. The old driveway was not installed properly with a base and control joints so it had numerous cracks throughout. They installed the proper base course, compacted, and installed rebar, with dowels into the existing car port concrete pad. I am happy with the new concrete driveway."

"So happy with our experience dealing with Windward Custom Builders! Matt & his team were professional, kind, caring & courteous. The process was easy & trouble free! The pricing was beyond fair & the completed job is beautiful! Matt came to our home, understood what we wanted-made a proposal & there were no surprises. Our home is old & currently has a lot of termite damage-we expected there maybe some additional costs outside of what was quoted-but he & his team found a way to stay in the budget! We had our entire kitchen renovated, we added a bathroom in unused space & 18 brand new windows that all needed to be reframed due to all the termite damage. Everything has been completed within 7 WEEKS! If youâ re looking for good, kind hearted, hardworking, honest contractors, we strongly recommend using Windward Custom Builders!"

"This is a small company but with general skills such as plumbing, electric, wall preparation, and general planning. We used the company for a bath renovation. We liked the attitude and consultative approach by the site manager. Again I cannot recommend this company and its managers more positively. This job required marble countertops, plumbing, installation of lighting, laying of vinyl floor, and restoration of dry wall besides delivery and transport of materials and equipment."

"If you want professional communication, quality craftsmanship, attention to fine detail, and someone who will show up, finish, and come in on budget, then I recommend Sidney and his crew for your next home project. We hired Sidney and his crew to build us an outdoor shower. The design and results of the shower are fantastic, but the next best part of the project was how quickly they completed the work. We have had problems with other contractors not meeting deadlines, showing up late, not returning calls nor communicating well. Sidney and his crew followed through and got it done (and cleaned up their mess when they were done!). I would absolutely hire them again and will recommend them to my friends."

"They were always punctual and completed the project within the agreed-upon timeline. They also made sure to keep the work area clean and tidy, which was greatly appreciated."
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.
