"Very professional I recently hired a handyman to install a new bathroom sink and vanity in my home and I couldn't be happier with the results. The handyman was professional, efficient, and did an excellent job with the installation. The sink and vanity look fantastic and are exactly what I was hoping for. I was also impressed with how quickly the handyman was able to complete the job without sacrificing quality. I would highly recommend this handyman to anyone in need of home improvement services. Thank you for your outstanding work!"

"Bill did a pretty good job installing our tile backsplash, though he said that he doesn't do lots of tile installation. He was able to start work a couple of days after we first contacted him. The job took him several hours longer than he intially estimated, but he stuck to his initial quote, which I appreciate. There were some minor spacing issues between some of the installed tile (if you look closely you can see the seam of one of the tile sheets, but it's usually covered anyway so no big deal), and the electrical outlets are not entirely flush with their covers. All in all, though, we added the new backsplash & countertops to get us through a few years until we can gut our kitchen and completely renovate it. This job looks good and will definitely serve that purpose."

"The whole experience was wonderful! Calvin Lee came to our home to measure the space and provided exactly what we asked for as our remodel design. Jason and his crew worked very hard to complete our kitchen as quickly as possible while doing excellent work. Christian always answered question and addressed concerns as the process went on. Jason followed up each evening to let us know what would happen next. They arrived on time each day worked full days. We got all new cabinets, flooring, countertops, lighting and paint. We couldn’t be happier with our new beautiful kitchen!"

"We’re thrilled with our new screened-in porch from Glen and his team at Custom Works, Inc.! They came highly recommended, and now we know why. Glen helped us navigate strict HOA rules and worked with our budget to build the largest, most functional space possible—without sacrificing quality or aesthetics. His pricing was fair, the craftsmanship outstanding, and the whole process was smooth from start to finish. Highly recommend Glen if you’re looking for quality work and a contractor who truly listens!"

"First Impressions did a lot of work around our hours a few years ago (see previous review). This spring as I was cleaning up around our patio I noticed that several of the brick caps on our knee wall had come loose so I called them to let them know and was told I should leave a message for Mike Walters. Mike called me back within the hour and asked me to take some pictures and send them to him, which I did. The next morning I was surprised when Mike called me back and said they would have a crew out that afternoon to make the necessary repairs. To top it off he said that while there wasn't a warranty still in place that the caps should not have come loose in that time frame so there would be no charge for the repairs. It is nice to see a company that does what is right versus hiding behind the legal gobbledygook and red tape.
Also, while his crew was at my house they noticed that a crack had formed in a cement wall so they took a few minutes and filled it in. I did not ask them to do this but they did it on their own and made it look much better.
I would recommend anyone doing any brickwork, patio work, hardscaping, etc... to give First Impressions a strong look. Not only do they do great work but they stand behind their work, with or without a warranty.

"Contractor did excellent work. Asked before any needed change was done. Over the several days it took to complete re-decking the surface and replacing the stairs , when finished for the day he removed all of the debris from each day so none was accumulated in the yard."

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.
