"It was a great pleasure working with Pouria and Juan. I hired them to help build a 400 sq. ft. deck, and they were able to finish it within a week at a very high quality. They were incredibly flexible with all of our requirements?don't hesitate to communicate with them if you need anything changed during construction! They are absolutely amazing and efficient. They even did some extra work around our house, which will really help us in the long run. Their pricing is very fair compared to many other groups, and I will definitely go to them the next time I need a project done!"

"I have worked with Ceres Construction on multiple residential projects that have spanned several years in duration. Adrian is one of the most reliable and upstanding contractors I have worked with in Marin and his attention to quality is rare. Our first project was a historic home in Mill Valley where Adrian and team built my children a treehouse that’s right out of a storybook nestled into a large tree. Next he rebuilt several decks/railings, re-sided our ADU, and installed new outdoor electrical. At our next home in San Anselmo, we called Ceres to completely rebuild a large outdoor deck that leaked and caused damage to the living spaces below. We also had them prep the house for sale by replacing banisters, remodeling the kitchen, and finishing the garage. We purchased a very old home that needed lots of work while maintaining the charm. Ceres worked for 18 months and handled everything from foundations to plumbing to drywall. You name it, they can do it all. Best in the business."

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.
