"We called inquiring about a new deck with handicapped ramp capabilities. Steve came over, assessed our situation and proposed a solution. He was given the challenge, and worked within our budget to complete a very sturdy deck with a h/c ramp for future needs. After we saw his attention to detail we contracted two more projects, railings on the front steps and a stair-lift for our interior. I am a very particular customer, very exacting and I pay attention to all aspects of the project, and let the project manager know if there is a concern about the project. The professional craftsmen that worked on our projects were absolutely outstanding. It was as if they were building our projects for family."

"Buckland came out to survey the job, sat with me to explain what would be done, and how - and what materials they would use. Then they came on time the day the said they would; their workmanship was top-notch, and professionally completed on a timely basis all for a very reasonable price. I would absolutely use Buckland again for any household/home repair work."

"Chris and his team that he works with went above and beyond to make sure that our project was held to an incredibly high standard. Chris’s ability to handle multiple happenings while communicating often and effectively was impressive to see. He constantly made us feel like we were the priority and his work ethic never waned. We were very proud to support this small business versus a larger box business. If you’re looking for a top notch basement remodel from an extremely personable and dedicated individual you’ll be doing yourself a disservice by not contacting Chris Manganello at Dynamic Basement Systems! We will be recommending this business to anyone! -Doug Rohner"

"We knew our kitchen remodel would be a challenging project and that we would not be able to buy anything "off the shelf." Our kitchen space is a cabin from the 1930s with a short ceiling, and exposed brick walls and wooden beams. Nothing is level or square. Gove Restoration and team were able to design and customize not only a functional kitchen with an updated layout, but also one that fits the style of the home. It is truly enjoyable to be in our kitchen now. We highly recommend Gove Restoration for their professionalism, punctuality, and quality."

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.
