"Matt and his team did an excellent job. Matt was very responsive when providing the quote and promptly responding to any questions we had during the course of the remodel. Matt and his workers were very polite and a pleasure to work with. Matt coordinated all aspects of the work including the installation of new flooring and installation of the granite countertops. When the company whom ordered the cabinets made an error in the order, Matt personally got involved in order to expedite a resolution to the problem. The workmanship was first class with Matt and his team paying close attention to detail. The team was very neat, cleaning up daily."

"Farzad is a jack of all trades. We had him working on everything from electric, to taking down beams, installing door jams/doors to painting the entire house. He also did tiling, installing lights and even fixed our dishwasher, just to scratch the surface. He was on time, communicative, professional and always a pleasure to have working our project. I've hired him since this project and will again."

From flooring installation to plumbing, washer and dryer setup, wall removals, additions, and countless other odd jobs, Arite handled everything with professionalism, skill, and attention to detail. Every task was completed on time and to a high standard. He communicated clearly, offered helpful suggestions, and made the entire process stress-free. It’s rare to find someone so versatile and dependable—he truly takes pride in his work. Our space looks amazing, and we’ll definitely be calling Arite for future projects. Highly recommended!"

"I would highly recommend V&S Tile. The work crew were very skilled and paid attention to detail. Steve and Sergio were always overseeing the project and working to make sure we were happy with everything and made changes anytime we asked. They did a beautiful job in remodeling our old, outdated bathroom, totally transforming it to a modern and appealing look. Eugene and Mike did excellent work and made sure everything was done correctly and with quality craftsmanship. They also cleaned up when they left and took away all the trash. They back their work and guarantee. After the project was completed and paid for, they came back right away when small issues came up and made it right with us. Top notch crew. Would definitely hire them again!"

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.
