"Perfection! Took the time to understand exactly how we wanted our kitchen backsplash to look and to figure out how to manage the wonky dimensions of the area in our 1926 kitchen. Took care in protecting our new cabinets and countertops as well as clean up. Knowledgeable and skilled in his craft. Highly recommend!!"

"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!"

"Frank and his crew were wonderful! They took our 35 year old kitchen with dark, outdated cabinets, awful tile, no space for a microwave and gave us a bright, beautiful, convenient kitchen that we absolutely love. It is a world of difference! They painted the cabinets a beautiful light grey & installed new cabinet hardware, installed new subway wall tiles and new white countertops with integrated sink, converted a pantry cabinet with pull-out drawers, and modernized the cabinet base, all within a very tight timeframe and at a comfortable price. They worked with us on the inevitable plan revisions and made great suggestions, all with good humor and patience. They were terrific!"

"We hired them to do an add on to our bar overhang and to create a 2 tier countertop. They also did wainscoting, install quartz countertops, backsplash, sink, faucet. I was able to show them a picture of what I was looking for and they recreated it. They did an excellent job and I would highly recommend them. Extremely friendly and responsive. This is a great company!"

"We are extremely pleased with the Sunroom we contracted Envy to build! Adam provided top notch customer service! He was great to work with and replied promptly to all our questions and provided expert advice on custom changes we wanted to make. Envy's construction team lead by Yancy was outstanding, and we couldn't be happier with the quality workmanship seen in the concrete work (Arturo), the carpentry (Gabriel & Luis), and the electrical install (Jacob). Everyone took pride in their work and it was a pleasure to have them working at our home!!!"

"We used MH Renovations this past spring to perform a complete remodel of our kitchen and to get a new roof and gutters installed and they did an awesome job! Matt was very responsive, transparent with estimates, provided regular updates on progress including pictures, and was flexible with incorporating modifications on the fly. The renovation was completed ahead of schedule and turned out even better than we had expected. If you want a contractor who is reliable and provides a high quality result, I highly recommend using MH Renovations."

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.
