"Our kitchen went from drab to fab just in time for our holiday party! The Bauformat cabinets and Grabrill countertops completely transformed the space. Guests couldn’t stop complimenting the sleek design, and we’re thrilled to show off our modernized kitchen. A huge thanks to the team from this company!"

"The carpenter that did the job (Adam) was amazing. He had to expand the space for one window, narrow the space for another, and repair much cedar siding that had rotted away due to water damage. He also reshaped my patio door so it would close and lock more easily. He is a very talented carpenter and I have no qualms about highly recommending him."

"We called Martin for a relatively complex job -- removing the existing 36" range hood over our 6 burner gas stove on the kitchen island and replacing it with a new much different model. Prior to the work, we had a number of phone and text messages with Martin asking for detailed information. The work went smoothly over 3 hours. He did a fantastic job and now we called him for some additional work that needs to be done in our selling of the home. Martin's very knowledgable and personable and we are recommending him to the new owners of our home and neighbors."

"The project was to replace my tub shower with a new barrier free shower system, folding shower chair and a toilet grab bar. Oakleyâ s professional team assessed all safety areas of my home, worked on our tight schedule for the completion and over delivered on the installation. I highly recommend their business and canâ t wait for my dad to shower safely in our home. Great experience from start to finish!!"

"They are true to their company's name - dedicated craftsmen. They do beautiful work and for a very reasonable price. They built two porches - one on the front and one in the back, (with unschedule replacement of the two rotting pillars) and quite a large patio. The yard is on a very slight decline and Vilson leveled the patio. I was impressed. I loved working them and would recommend them for any stone and masonry work."

"After getting numerous quotes for our kitchen and 1/2 bath renovation, we selected Building Concepts based on their reasonable pricing and great reviews. It was the best decision we made, Jason and his team were great! Excellent communication throughout the project. Great quality of workmanship. We couldn't be happier with the results. I highly recommend Building Concepts."

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.
