"I'm so happy that I found David at CA Cabinets! He was here checking on the work daily to make sure everything ran smoothly which is rare for a contractor as usually they just come a few times during the process. Everything is beautiful and he went to extra mile to shop with me for the flooring tiles, quartz countertops, cabinets and sink. I'm super picky as an artist / former fashion designer and he was able to help me create exactly what I had designed. He had great ideas such as adding a waterfall edge to the quartz countertop and a window sill piece from quartz as well. This project was a complete gut and rebuild due to a dishwasher leak - homeowner's insurance claim. I was having issues with my insurance and David went above and beyond to help me navigate the insurance issues so we could complete the project. He is always very prompt and organized. Some of the other contractors that I had previously contacted could not even be bothered to give me a call back or show up on time to a scheduled appointment but David was able to meet with me right away and always notified me of the work schedules. Pricing was reasonable and in line with other estimates I received."

"Jose arrived on time, and did a fantastic job of setting my island pieces and end panels and resetting cabinets that were not installed properly. I had to have this done so that countertops could be installed the next day. Jose is a professional who is experienced, knowledgeable and efficient. I plan to have him complete the rest of my kitchen and bath project and highly recommend his services."

"My mother has a great passion for gardening and also making the lawn beautifully decorated. She insisted on Stonework for the lawns, but I wasn't sure about it. At that time I came across an advertisement for Platinum Home Builders. The finishing they gave left my mother awestruck."

"We just finished our project and it turned out wonderful! From the beginning, our PM Erez was polite, on time, and made us feel comfortable about taking this next step in our renovations, something that hasn’t been done to this extent in maybe 45 years in our house. We first had the bathroom redone (flooring, countertops, and relocating the shower). After that, we started the bigger project of redesigning the kitchen. This started by meeting with their designer to draft up the renderings. We redid 100% of everything from the flooring, cabinets, tore down two load bearing walls, then painting the joining dining room, hallway, and living room. Erez was in constant communication with us and always welcomed our text message questions at any day/time. They keep you informed of the progress and collect payment along the way after a task item has been completed. If there is something that you don’t like on the finished item, such as grout color, they are more than willing to adjust and redo anything if needed. As long as you openly communicate with them, you’ll have an amazing outcome that is better than you imagined."

"Thanks for the good job. Flagstone patio installed across 2,050 sq. ft., including pathways to garden beds. They leveled stones and ensured an even transition between levels. The layout has enough space for seating, walking, and dining while blending naturally with the landscape."
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.
