"Inspired Exteriors completed a great job at my Conshohocken house by placing new siding at the back of my kitchen where floodwater was creeping onto the floor. The work was done in less than two days, just in time to prevent another flood from the forecasted storm predicted for today! Thank you, Kevin, owner and operator of Inspired Exteriors."

"Mike was very helpful with the details of redoing my powder room. He made some great suggestions, Which I am very pleased. Who would think putting crown molding in a small powder room. It is wonderful. Mike and all those with him were extremely polite, very quiet. After a few other quotes and timelines he gave us the best deal for the money. I will contact him again when I need any home services."

"I found the owner of the company to be very honest. When I met with Mr. Viohl abut what I wanted done. I told him, he gave me the cost and it ended up being pretty much at that cost. No hidden charges. They were responsible, trustworthy, and on-time every single day. They cleaned up everything, I never had to clean up after myself. all the workers were experts in the field. Highly recommend them. Easy to talk to. They answered all of my questions. The owner, Andrew Viohl, he's the most attentive person. He really wants his customer to be happy with the end result. You get top-notch response. They are prompt and will give you what you pay for. The follow-up is great, if there's something you need to discuss after the job they will address it for you."

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.
