"I am beyond happy we found Doug from Elegance in Surface Concepts when looking to install a farmhouse sink which required custom cutting of our existing granite countertop and modification to our cabinets. Doug is the exact expert we needed to complete this job given cutting existing granite countertops is no easy task and can be daunting to anyone not experienced with this type of work. From the first time we spoke, met to go over the project and to the actual custom work, we had the upmost confidence in Doug. He is hands down the most professional, detailed and talented person who has ever done work in our home. The finished project exceeded our expectations and we look forward to working with him again in the near future."

"Anthony McCann was a great professional to work with. Not everyone has the problem solving skills to work on older houses (ours was built in 1925 according to the deed), but Anthony does. He managed to solve problems like an inconsistent ceiling height, walls that weren't very straight, odd pipes left in the walls, studs that were in inconvenient places for our new stainless steel vent hood, etc. We chose to add some additions on to our project (upgrading the electrical panel and redoing a wall) which were added to the price of our project, but Anthony did not ask us for more money when our project ran into unexpected issues (which owners of older homes is the norm for home improvement projects). He and his colleagues were always professional, on time, and hard working. Our new kitchen turned out great! The subway tile backsplash with art glass accent behind the stove is particularly attractive. Anthony was able to translate our ideas into reality by working with the timelines of other professionals (we had sheet vinyl flooring and engineered quartz countertops installed by other specialty vendors) and proactively planning when things would be done. Anthony and his colleagues handled gutting the old kitchen (including removal of debris), rewiring the kitchen (including upgrading the electrical panel and necessary Allegheny county inspections), designing and installing lighting (can ceiling task lights, ambient lights, under cabinet LED lighting) with our input, insulating and drywalling new walls, building custom cabinetry pieces (breakfast bar and oven cabinet) to fit with our purchased Kraftmaid cabinets), installing cabinets and custom pieces including beautiful trim work, installing an island mount vent hood (needed its own dedicated electrical circuit and exterior venting), installing new appliances, and painting/finishing. Anthony by far is an "A" contractor! I'd give Anythony a B in some of the detail quality, but to be fair, I am super picky with small details probably others would never notice--there are a few dry wall screws that's weren't completely mudded over painting beside the sliding glass door trim (really hard to notice since they are almost covered by the trim) and a few small finishing nail holes on the cabinet end panels that needed a little woodfiller and furniture pen to make them invisible. In fact as I am writing this they seem so minor, maybe I should go change that rating to an A. I couldn't be happier with the results of our new kitchen and whole-heartedly recommend Anthony McCann especially for projects that are complicated and need someone with the skills to solve problems."

"Very well, It took a few days longer than we thought but that is not unusual with an older house with additional plumbing required. The hardwood flooring included the kitchen, hallway and living room. Mark was very helpful in giving input on details that we would not have thought of and was very flexible with design considerations and options on cost of materiel. The granite countertops were well done and the overall cost was within our target range as discussed. Mark's crew were experienced, very friendly and his oversight meticulous! We are very pleased with the end result!"

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.
