"We had 4ever demo a wall, put in an island and add cabinets around a refrigerator. They were very professional and had high quality work with a few bumps in communication. We were very happy with their honesty on timeline. The project cost did grow throughout and we ended up going over budget with some miscommunication on placement of a dishwasher and countertop size."

"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."

"We worked with Kevin and his team to replace all the windows in our home. Kevin and his team did a great job. We had a cracked window from the manufacturer and Kevin had a replacement window installed within weeks of us discovering this window. This project was on time and in the budget we were told. Highly recommend Kevin and his team."

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.
