"We were so happy with our Kitchen that Doug worked on for us. We went from dark, dreary and out dated. To bright, fresh and a modern look. I can’t say enough good things about his company and the work he does. On time, professional, very polite and excellent craftsmanship. He did our back splash, handles, kitchen & dinning room floor, and our electric work for the kitchen. We are so happy to have such a bright cheery up dated space. Thank you. If you’re considering any work to be done, don’t hesitate to call HDF construction. You won’t be sorry. We can’t wait to bring him back for future repairs and updates to our bathroom & other projects."

"We saw an add for Calahan and since we were looking to convert a screened porch to a four seasons room we contacted them. They were very prompt in responding and provided us with options to complete the project within our budget. It turned out better than we actually anticipated and are 150% pleased with it. I would recommend Calahan Bath and Kitchen to anyone without hesitation. They are definitely in my callback folder for any other major projects that arise. Thank you Dan Calahan and your crew for a great job !!"

"Being able to watch this from start to finish it was impressive to see a crew of roofers that didn't stop, except for lunch, from start to finish. Courteous, friendly and professional. They know their profession. Their crew leader Jordan was ever watchful and most helpful to me answering many questions. One of the many selling points that Spicer Brothers provides, I thought it was important to see that the manufacturer of the shingles warrants Spicer Brothers installation for many years."

"Better than I could have imagined! In January 2023, I decided to open up my living/dining room area by doing a remodel in Seaford DE. This consisted of removing two walls to open up the space. After receiving a couple of quotes, I selected Callaway Corp as the price was incredibly reasonable and their designer/project coordinator, Katherine, helped me envision what it could look like (including paint colors, flooring, lighting, electrical, and more). What used to be a dark and dingy area is now bright and cheerful and my guests no longer walk into a “tube” from the front door. It is completely open and I have so much more room. During the process, the crews discovered some foundation issues and some water damage, of which was expertly fixed. The entire project was complete on time and on budget. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a home remodel. Callaway is an honest and experienced construction company and I am already planning my phase 2 renovations with them."

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.
