"Courteous, professional and definite craftsman. If you want your kitchen countertops prepped and installed correctly you should contact J.T. Marble & Granite Designs. I have heard from friends that contractors left them in the lurch for months while sorting things out and waiting for other jobs to be completed. This was definitely not the case. Our entire job from the first phone call to finish was completed in less than three weeks (including our week long trip out of town) by this awesome team. These guys are probably not the cheapest, and if that is your priority please take into consideration the following. Change orders were handled without any drama and two punch list items (microwave installation and cabinet/drawer pulls) were both completed without additional cost. If you desire high quality work, done in a timely manner to your satisfaction contact J.T. Marble & Granite Designs, Inc."

"I really wanted to refresh a few things in my house that started looking a little dated and faded, at first I thought not to do it as I was disappointed before with another company I worked with, this time it went extremely smooth, I like it when a company of this nature really completed successfully everything we have agreed on, I finally had a chance to work with a sales consulter that really knows what he was doing and the prices really made sense, I thank you for that, the house looks great, I appreciate it :)"

"A wonderful kitchen remodel experience.
We talked with 2 other remodeling contractors and decided to go with So Cal Builders and Design (Avi, manager/contractor). My husband and I seemed like we had instant warmth with Avi and felt like he could be trusted. He turned all of our worries about remodeling into a great experience. The price was in the middle of the other contractors, but he showed us great pictures and Avi also had great ideas and we were hooked. We picked out our cabinets, countertop, backsplash, we also had LED lights installed.
Then the process started, boy was I nervous at first when they gutted the kitchen, but after a day or two I was good. Everyone that worked for Avi seems like we had a good connection with and also trusted them. Ferdi was the person that did the gutting, plumbing, painting and installing the appliances and all sorts of other things (great job Ferdi).
You know once you start a remodeling there are always other unforeseen issues that pop up. Yes, they popped up with our remodeling, we found out the owners prior to us did some electrical work and it was wrong. So, we had to fix the electrical issues and also upgraded our electrical box (additional cost, but good). Simon and Usher did all of our electrical work (great job Simon). Along the way we were able to change our minds and nobody had a problem with that (at least they didn?t complain). We also decided to make changes to an existing wall by adding on a larger countertop in the kitchen. When the cabinets were installed they looked GOOD, they used excellent materials, great workmanship and the crown molding was FABULOUS. The countertops and backsplash are amazing too. Avi was always available, also with texting which made life great, didn?t matter what time he was always able to get back to us with answers to our many questions. He also was available to stop by to make sure we were happy and things were going as planned. The overall experience was fantastic.
We really enjoyed the professionalism and kindness that everybody displayed, also making sure we were pleased. Now we have our new kitchen and it is BEAUTIFUL.
We highly recommend hiring Avi with So Cal Builders and Design.

"They listened to our desires to remodel two bathrooms, then proceeded to suggest the best of materials. Workers started later than expected, however they worked later, and work was excellent. All men were extremely courteous, and cleaned up each day. In all, the finished product was top quality. Everyone who has viewed the jobs has been blown away. A company you could trust completely. R.

"We hired American Home Improvement Inc for a full kitchen remodel and couldn?t be happier. They helped with layout decisions, stayed on budget, and kept the project moving without delays. Cabinets, countertops, and lighting were installed perfectly. The crew was respectful and detail-oriented. The final result looks amazing and completely transformed our home. Would definitely use them again."

"Recently had some kitchen plumbing issues, thus figured it was time for a kitchen renovation. Interviewed several companies but decided on Creative Home Remodeling Group after talking to Max, who was very personable and thorough when explaining our estimate and plans. Overall, they were very accommodating to changes that I wanted to have done to the original plan. Salvador was the main person who was putting our kitchen together and was a delight to work with. He was very patient and detail-oriented, especially when we wanted a herringbone pattern backsplash. Countertop was fabricated beautifully, and our custom cabinets turned out solid and beautiful as well. Overall, really appreciated the time this group put into ensuring the kitchen was done right, no cutting corners. Also appreciated how accommodating they were to any of my last-minute request for changes to the kitchen. My wife and I are very happy with how our new kitchen turned out! Would definitely recommend Creative Home Remodeling Group!"

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.
