"Jeff was excellent to work with, provided excellent advice and did an excellent job replacing our countertop and installing a new back splash. As the former manager of the Consumer Services Division for the Minnesota Attorney General's Office I have had the opportunity to deal with many contractors I only wish they were all like Jeff."

"I hired Handy Rite to do a top-to-bottom refresh of my kitchen. Prior to making my decision, I read their reviews and it appealed to me that they were a smaller company. Handy Rite worked together as a team! Their communication with each other and with me was always current. Ben and James are highly skilled, attentive to detail, and are very knowledgeable in their craft. Staci assisted me in choosing a kitchen color palette which I used to make all surface material decisions. The result is my kitchen looks fantastic."

"It was one of the best experiences dealing with a contractor for understanding our needs, choosing type of flooring, overcoming obstacles (subfloor irregularities in an old building, etc.). Scheduling was almost immediate and the job performed quickly with quality and care. Follow up on one small detail was completed with no hassle. Filipp was pleasant, knowledgeable and easy to work with as were the employees, Tony, Fredy and crew."

We met with a few kitchen remodelers and went with West End Kitchen for two main reasons - the price was around what we were expecting for this type of job, and equally as important, Trevor seemed to share the same vision for how the final product would look.  What we got from Trevor was not only a fantastic finished product, but the professional insight to share with us options that we did not know were available.  The complete details of the remodel are:

Removed wall between dining room and kitchen

Installed new granite countertops with raised breakfast bar and new sink

Installed new tile backsplash

Installed new tile floor

Installed all 5 appliances (fridge, microwave, hood, dishwasher and oven)

Removed one of two windows, replaced with new, custom cabinet.  The windows were originally connected, Trevor did a great job in reducing it to one window; you'd never know a second one was originally there

Installed under cabinet lights, ceiling light, and pendant lights

The cost of $20,808 included everything but the following:

The cost of the appliances

The cost of the ceiling and pendant lights

The cost of the new hardware on the existing cabinets

We kept our existing cabinets, but had new cabinets added (as noted above).  Trevor did a lot of work in re-fitting some of the existing cabinets, moving one from the now torn down wall to a different spot.  Our fridge was also too tall for the existing spot, he was able to raise the cabinet a few inches and it looks great

The sink, floor and backsplash tile, and under-cabinet lights were included in the $20,808

Our estimate before any project work was $20,808, so despite having a few unexpected surprises, the final cost was exactly what we were quoted at to start.

"We had a wonderful experience working with Lifetime Construction on redoing our driveway and repainting the complete interior and exterior of our home. Michael and his team made sure that all our belongings are safely covered while they do the work. Great work! Definitely will hire when we are ready to do more remodeling."

"Bernie Jones had detailed and measured drawings and detailed prices when he presented his estimate. All contractors were excellent, professional and on the job as promised and any questions were answered promptly. Everything that was promised, was delivered. A pleasure to have them in my home. 5 years later, there have been no problems. Bernie is always available to answer any questions. Two of my neighbors, after seeing our remodel, have also had their kitchens remodeled. Our son has had work don in his 1931 home in Minneapolis. I would not hesitate to use them again."

"I used the company Champion Window Company of Wichita, LLC to replaced three windows for my home. I would have given them a five for quality but there was a small leak that ended up needing caulking. Overall I had a good experience with the company."

FAQs for countertop and backsplash service projects in Lake Elmo, MN

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.
