"I hired 1st in Home Improvements for a bathroom remodel. There was never a question as to what Joe and his crew were doing. The results were obvious at the end of every day. The crew cleaned up after themselves every day. As a matter of fact, I would say that my floors were cleaner when they left than when they arrived (I have 2 dogs). There were times that I was unsure of what I wanted and Joe was always able to give me advise based on his knowledge and expertise and help me decide what would look the best. Joe always let me know what was going on during each day that he and his crew were here and he gave me a tour of my bathroom at the end of every day to show me the progress. Joe would let me know what to expect the next day, as well. The final result is absolutely stunning. Everyone who has seen my bathroom absolutely loves it and so do I!!! I would highly recommend Joe Ward and 1st in Home Improvements. I am 100% satisfied!"

"We attempted to get estimates from several companies and Rob was one of the two that came out when scheduled, made suggestions and gave us options for our project. His ideas turned out to the be perfect solution for our needs. Although other companies told us our project was too small, he worked us into his schedule and upon completion of the work he inspected both the walkway and the patio. He found an issue that we would have been unaware of and had it rectified to his high standards. We were thrilled to have a perfectionist on the job! The crew was also professional and courteous."

"Outdoor Design Build completed our outdoor living space in the spring of 2021. It was instantly our favorite room in the house. David, Rick and the team were professional and diligent throughout the process, working hard to ensure we were completely satisfied with the project. They were there every day from start to finish, and a true pleasure to work with. Recently I reached out to David to see if he could send someone out to fix a few pavers on the edge of the patio that had settled over the past 3 years. I offered to pay for their time and materials. David insisted they stand behind their work and that there was no need. Rick came out and not only fixed the three or four pavers I was concerned with, but checked all the pavers for settling and adjusting anything he felt wasn't perfect. I can't recommend Outdoor Design Build enough. I'd choose them again and again without question."

"Scott and David did an amazing job on our kitchen backsplash. They were friendly, professional, and very skilled at their craft. They gave us some really great ideas and made the process enjoyable. I would go so far as to say they have been the best contractors we have had come to our house in the 26 years we have lived in Mason. I would highly recommend them!"

"Rob has a keen sense of knowing what I was looking for in a new deck. He completed the project in less time than estimated with the highest quality workmanship. The project turned out exactly as I had envisioned. Quality work at a fair price. I would hire them again for future projects."

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.
