"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."

"Jeff was very helpful leading up to the purchase and installation of our quartz countertops. The price was very reasonable compared to a few other installation quotes we received. The installers worked quickly and the countertops look great."

"I was so happy with the work done by Raymond at New Color Cabinet. I was a little apprehensive at first after having read a review, but in the end I’m glad I hired New Color. I wanted my stained cabinet painted white and Raymond did an outstanding job. From explaining the process start to finish and taking care to protect my countertops and all the areas that weren’t being worked on including the floors. I’ll be hiring Raymond and New Color for my next project."

"It has been a pleasure working with Trivic Remodelers. Ted, the owner, helped us in designing our layout, which included electrical and plumbing work. Trivic installed custom-made cabinets, a dishwasher, a range hood, a sink, and quartz countertops for our kitchen. Our home is 136 years old and still had the original plumbing. Trivic encountered problems with the plumbing and replaced the old rusted and cracked pipes with PVC and copper pipes bringing us into the 21st century. We were impressed with their knowledge and expertise. Any of our questions and/or concerns were promptly answered and addressed. The whole experience has been a satisfying one and we would definitely recommend Trivic Remodelers for their renovation services."

"Leonard was extraordinarily communicative and went above and beyond to make the process as easy as possible for me. He listened to my vague ideas and transformed them into the kitchen of my dreams. Occasionally, I had bad ideas (light fixtures that were too small or didn't match) and I appreciated that Leonard provided helpful feedback to guide me in a better direction. He negotiated with vendors to get great prices on cabinetry and countertops. The crew was incredible - clean, respectful, and fast. The project was on time, within budget, and more beautiful than I'd hoped."

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.
