"Mr. Munion and Anthony did an amazing job upgrading our kitchen! We had our cabinets refaced, a new countertop installed, a new microwave moved and installed, and a garbage disposal, sink, and cooktop installed. Everything looks wonderful. They were so kind and helpful making suggestions and very knowledgeable. They were prompt, efficient, and even finished a day early. Would definitely recommend them for your kitchen upgrade!"

"Jamin came promptly to give us an estimate. Our house is older with uneven walls making it a challenge. Jamin explained how he would do the job and how he would deal with this. WOW, did he ever. It looks perfect. He took his time and made the walls look straight. We made 2 changes to the original estimate, to go to the ceiling and to have 2 feature strips. It is absolutely gorgeous! I am thrilled with how beautiful it is. I would recommend Laurel Craftsmen to everyone. Jamin is an extremely talented professional."

"We engaged Better Living Patio and Sunrooms of Pittsburgh to transform our screened in porch into a four-season room. Our primary goal was the creation of a space where our grandchildren could play in the sunroom while we remained in our home. We planned to talk with them and visit through a window, since we are both at high risk for COVID due to cancer. I asked that the room be complete by Thanksgiving, but, as November dates became closer to the holiday, it appeared we would not meet the date. I appealed to our salesperson, Anthony, who connected me with the owner, Ray Hepp. Mr. Hepp was extremely helpful, moving quickly to obtain back orders (due to COVID) and assigning his team to finish the room before the holiday. We love our new room! Because of Mr. Hepp's integrity and kindness, we were able to share not only Thanksgiving, but also Christmas holidays with our family while maintaining the distance we need to remain safe. The room is outstanding, the construction beautifully done, and we are extremely pleased. I would recommend this business to anyone without reservation. Thank you, Mr. Hepp!"

"Brody was fantastic! My bathroom was 20+ years old and he transformed it into a up to date beauty. He personally took time to design the layout and we LOVE it. Extremely professional and a very wonderful person outside of his expertise. I am having him install a powder room on my third floor. I highly recommend him for your next project Diana"

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.
