"Everything went extremely well, from Maurizio's initial visit to the installation of the countertop with new sink and stove top. Maurizio's advice was very helpful and his installation team was great to work with. Would definitely use them again."

"After years of painting our home it was time to move up to a better solution. After searching the Better Business Bureau for local companies Krumwiede Home Pros stood out. They were top rated with 0 complaints. We were even able to initiate contact for a quote through the BBB. Michael was our salesperson and he was upfront and honest in capabilities and pricing. The pricing was so great we even upgraded to an insulated vinyl siding and we were still under what others quoted. We then met with Ross the production manager who went over every aspect of the job with us. This was great because we worked out any issues ahead of time. There were no surprises and we were all on the same page. The 2 gentlemen who came to do the work were great also. They showed up on time and worked hard everyday. They never left a mess and were easy to communicate with. We are very happy with the whole experience and our house looks awesome! Thanks Krumwiede Home Pros we are happy we met you!"

"Their quote was 10%+ higher than anyone else we spoke to and it didn't even include the materials other than countertops. Add in flooring and backsplash tile and they would probably be 15-20% higher than anyone else. But you get what you pay for, I probably should have gone with this company."

"I used them because of the coupon and the fact that they could redo cabinets of give new ones, I like the choice. He gave me the plan and said normally the company would charge, so I don’t know if they did not get the money form Angie’s List."

"Kris is an amazing person to work with. We worked with him to do a complete remodel of our master bathroom. He is organized and extremely meticulous. His estimates were reasonable and he is very flexible to your needs. He is extremely trust worthy and friendly (my kids loved talking to him). He provided us with a detailed list of what we needed to buy as well as places where we could get necessary material - tiles, countertop, granite etc. He also provided several design ideas for us to consider as a starting point. He wrapped up each day by thoroughly cleaning the work area to remove any debris and finished right on the day he had said he would be done at the start of the project. I would highly recommend him for any kind of remodeling work and look forward to another opportunity to work with him."

"We used JK a few years ago at our old house to tear up tile in our basement and lay down a vinyl click-lock floor. That project went great, so when we moved into our new house I called Jacek to take on our basement project. Jacek's guys took over for a mess-- bare floor, drywall that had been cut 4 feet off the ground to accommodate drain tiles, framing that was missing the bottom 2 x 4s. It took a few weeks, but JK turned it into an entirely usable space. They fixed the framing, hung the drywall, laid down the floor, installed trim and painted. Very reasonable price. Jacek is great to work with, as is his crew. Knowledgeable and professional."

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.
