"I had OC Stone & Marble install kitchen and bathroom countertops along with new sink basins on 4/30/2021. The installation process was flawless with careful attention to detail. The company owners Oscar and Cesar take pride in their work which was evident during my installation. They followed COVID protocols and left my home in a clean condition. The project price was fair and reasonable. I would highly recommend them for any countertop replacement project."

"Pablo called me first and the the rest is history. He visited my home with the professional camera which takes measurements and brought the countertop samples and made recommendations. He recommended a showroom that stocks the type of materials we are interested in. During the installation he helped to remove the faucet and sink and installed them for free. He also removed the old granite countertop for us. Everything went well. I strongly recommend Soares Stone for your countertop project."

"I hired Bob to install a new induction range, replacing a cooktop and cutting some of the stone countertop. He also replaced the existing hood vent with an over-the-range microwave. He was very knowledgeable and was able to do all of the work involved by himself. (Two other people that I spoke with could only do one part of the work and had no idea who could help me with the other parts.) Bob knew exactly what needed to be done and gave me a quote that was very reasonable. He worked with us to figure out how to make it look like everything had originally been installed that way. He showed up on the days he promised and let us know when he was running late (he was only 15 minutes late). He was really easy to work with, extremely knowledgeable, and my wife absolutely loved the final result!"

"We used Stellar painting to have 3 ceilings painted in our home. Monique was our contact person for scheduling and made things very easy - great communication. Eduardo did the painting and did a wonderful job and was very professional and capable. The price quoted and paid was very fair and the 3 rooms were done in one day. We would not hesitate to recommend them and will use them again for any future projects!"

"Jeff was the second person I contacted and right away I knew he was the contractor I needed. Everyone on the team is amazing . They are professional courteous and reliable. The quality of their work is exceptional.
The plumbers, electricians, painters, plasterers, tilers,hardwood floor installers, countertop fabricators and of course Jhonny and Danny,all work as a team. Jeff the woodworker did custom cabinets that are exceptional.
We are very pleased with the quality of work from everyone on the team. Jeff and his crew have our highest recommendations.
Jeff is extremely prompt in his communication either by phone or email. Everyone associated with this renovation is top notch.
As with any Old hous, issues come up. All problems were dealt with quickly and professionally. Considering the record amount of snow we had the beginning of the year everyone was here doing their job.
What a great team....thanks everyone

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.
