"Very pleased with all aspects of the company so far. In fact I was so impressed with their products prices that I added on an additional window and a sliding glass door to my project! They are currently producing my windows and should be installed far before real winter! And they do 90% of the instillation of the windows from the OUTSIDE...which made me feel so much more safe in this time of COVID."

"GA Chott did a fantastic job with our full kitchen remodel and master bath remodel. We knew we wanted to take our time with such a large project scope. We met with Darryll, the owner, in the Fall of 2020 to go over our project details and get a quote. We wanted to knock down walls to open up our kitchen, so Darryll gave us the name of a reliable structural engineer that we could contact and determine if the walls were load bearing. Once the structural engineer gave us the OK we signed our contract with Darryll in January, 2021. Darryll was kind enough to keep his price quote from several months prior, even with material prices going up. We ordered our cabinets by March, with the expectation that the work would begin in June. Sure to their word, all of the cabinets and other materials arrived in time to begin the project in June. The Job Foreman James was wonderful to work with. He, and his crew arrived on time every day, and kept in touch with us about every detail. The kitchen project took about 6 weeks to complete. It was a big job, with walls being removed, new recessed lighting, and removing our popcorn ceiling. Once those tedious tasks were done the cabinets only took about a week to install, and then they hooked up all of our new appliances for us. The countertops were installed by Stone Trends, which is one of GA Chott's preferred contractors. Stone Trends was a little backed up so there was a bit of a wait on the countertops, but once they were installed GA Chott came back and finished our backsplash tile, and it looks fantastic. While waiting for the kitchen countertops GA Chott completed our master bath project within 1 week. They removed our old vanity, reconfigured our closet wall, and installed a new, larger vanity for us. They refinished our closet, installed a new door, installed new ceramic floor tile, and installed a new lighting fixture and a larger mirror in the bathroom, which we picked out. Between these 2 large scale projects GA Chott basically had everything finished in 7 weeks. I would highly recommend them for any home improvement project. I know we will for sure be using them again for future projects."

"Tom and his crew did an excellent job. He listened to what I wanted accomplished and they really transformed the front of our house. The curb appeal, of the house, is so much nicer now -- it even looks much more inviting. I whole-heartedly recommend Tom and his company, Signature Landscapes & Design. I will definitely used their services again.

"We love the final product. They did a good job coordinating all the professionals between flooring, tile, electric, plumbing, etc. They also worked well with the designer at RSI who designed the kitchen and supplied the cabinets, counters and floors. Cost below is total. Labor was $68,390. Job did take 4 months, but it was a very old city home (built in 1896). But we couldn't be happier now."

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.
