"couldn’t be happier with the service from Gutters by Design LLC. From the initial estimate to the final installation, the team was professional, punctual, and extremely knowledgeable. They took the time to explain all my options, recommended the best gutter system for my home, and delivered exactly what they promised—on time and within budget. The craftsmanship is top-notch. The seamless gutters they installed not only look great but are functioning perfectly, even during heavy rain. I also appreciated how clean they left the job site—no debris, no damage to the landscaping. If you’re looking for high-quality gutter work with honest, reliable service, Gutters by Design LLC is the company to call. I highly recommend them and will definitely use them again for future projects."

"Gary was wonderful. He installed a storm door tha basically needed to be custom fit in order to work. He was very diligent and worked it all out so that the end product was great fit. He also installed a new toilet which was a piece of cake for him."

"After and before pictures. I love my kitchen. Austin is easy to work with. I had a budget and an idea of what I thought I wanted. Austin worked with me on layout, design options, colors, all the choices can be overwhelming. He over saw every detail. I was at the top of my budget but wanted a little bit different quartz counter top. Austin went over options with me. I changed something less important and got my dream counter. I had a new dream kitchen in mind. A&M took me through the whole process and made it a reality! I got quartz counters, a navy blue island, the rest of the cabinets white, new kitchen window, new full glass door to our sunroom, new lvp flooring, white subway backsplash, the knobs, the sink, the touch control faucet, the wine holder in the coffee bar area! Every detail I wanted, it’s beautiful! I would definitely recommend them. Friendly, easy to work with and fair pricing. We are extremely pleased with our kitchen."

"We used Lux to install an Owens-Corning system in an unfinished basement. The project turned out beautifully and is very custom to our space- half carpeted, half flooring. Dan was very communicative and quickly took care of some finishing details that are the icing on the cake. It's amazing to be able to reclaim previously unused space and turn it into a heated, well-used room! While we aren't fans of Owens-Corning sales tactics, we went into it knowing what to expect and were able to get the price down to the ballpark that we were expecting, with a return on investment that is 100% worth it."

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.
