"Workmanship, timeliness and cleanliness were above average. I have no complaints about anything that was done. I only have one issue which was with communication. Two major aspects of the job were changed without my consent therefore I did not have input into changes I would have made as it was too late when I noticed these changes. They were understandable as they would do to zoning and or building code. But I would’ve had them done completely different. Had I had a choice. This was totally unintentional. I chalk it up to a learning experience on both ends. Other than that everything was exceptional."

"Joe told me he would be at my house at a certain time and he was true to his word. He had to first remove a small wooden work bench —the wood pieces were put in a contractors garbage bag and removed to his truck— then he removed the old fuse box and put in the new circuit breaker. Joe finished the project and even swept the area and left it neat. It was a pleasure to have Joe do this job and I will happily recommend him for any electrical job you need. He is pleasant and curious."

"I found Chris on Angie's list and read the rave reviews, so I decided to meet and speak with him. I did some research prior (on kitchen remodels) and actually interviewed three other contractors as well. I knew as soon as we spoke Chris was the one. I felt very comfortable, as if I knew him for years. We gutted the kitchen ourselves and Chris actually made a lot of recommendations along the way. He advised us how to do it the proper way. I also asked him a lot of questions throughout the whole process and he had no problem answering them and giving his opinion. He’s very knowledgeable and gave a lot of helpful advice. I felt so comfortable that I even gave him a key to my house, while I was at work. Chris really went above and beyond the call of duty. I was not able to take short notice time off from work to meet the countertop company for the template and installation. He took the time out of his own schedule to meet them at my house and took care of it, amongst other things. I can’t praise Chris enough for the service/work he provided. Chris’s main goal at the end of the day is to make sure the customer is happy. His work, professionalism and customer service is outstanding, which is very hard to find these days. I will definitely hire him again for any home improvement needs, as well as recommending him. Thank you Chris!"

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.
