"Vadim did an excellent job in our master bathroom. The noise was next level, but the end product was stunning. Pros/cons to consider when hiring Vadim Pros -very timely, informs you if running late -clean, his appearance and his workspace -great communication, always responds quick. Cons -he leads his guys with an iron fist -I don’t think he drinks water at all -doesn’t take breaks -Sounds like fighting when he speaks his language to his guys."

"I am a repeat customer, so I knew the carpenter, Joe, coming in. I started by using their design contractor. I gave her the colors and ideas (beach theme, ceramic wood-look floor tiles), and she pulled the rest together. Invaluable because I can't trust my own taste. They removed a square shower in the corner and a set of shelves next to it, and glassed in that end of the room for a full shower. We put tile down along the whole room, with a recessed shower pan, and a linear drain against the wall. Joe built-in medicine cabinets, and trim all around the room, per my design pictures. The subs included a glass door guy, the plumber, the tiler, painter, and the countertop slab tiler. We also had some work done in our hallway. They removed the single boob light from the middle, and installed two recessed lights on either end, along with putting two switch boxes on either end of the hallway. Joe built a floor to ceiling cabinet in a 13” dead space at the end of the hallway, which included a laundry hamper on tracks, cubbies, and shelves. And then on a whim, I asked to have our old hallway linen cupboard doors replaced to match the new ones. We had two leaks during and after, but one reason I would use them again, is how they handled both times. One was a leak from the plug on the toilet supply. We found it on a Saturday morning, and I ended up waking up our carpenter with my text. He came out and figured it out and fixed it by 1. The other one was after everything was done and cleaned up, and we had paid for everything. The basement bathroom ceiling, fan, and wall below the master was wet one day, and we realized a joint in the pipe from the master toilet to the stack was slowly dripping between the two rooms. I texted Joe again, and he referred me to our GC, who came out with a plumber and fixed it. They had to make a hole in the downstairs drywall, so he has been coming back regularly to put three layers of mud on the new drywall. I was so sure that they would regretfully find that it wasn't their fault and we would have to deal with the cost and bother of finding a plumber and carpenter. Start to finish, it took about four months, but three weeks of that was the initial tile order, and another three for an incorrect tile order."

Builder, developer, and general contractor. We succeed through decades of experience, amazing vendor, subcontractor, and client relationships, as well as the extensive resources available to us. From dirt to turn-key, interior to exterior, and bottom up, we are the go-to company for any substantial repairs, upgrades, and builds.
"The project started 10/2021 and ended sometime in 2/2022. This project took long3r than anticipated. I had to check in multiple times to see if anyone would be working on the project that day. The sub contractors used for electrical and plumbing cut corners in places causing issues and failures in 2024. The electrician tapped into existing wires, over loading the breaker and the water tank connections were not threaded and sealed correctly causing a leak with the expansion tank. Luckily I found good people to do the work and get it done right."

We are a locally owned and operated remodel and construction company. We specialize in all aspects of remodel, insurance damage claims and new construction!
"Let's start with the bid. The young man who came to do the bid was respectful, professional and friendly. His bid was detailed, it spelled out all the terms of the contract in full, and was priced very reasonably. Compared to all the other bidders who were late, didn't show up at all, or were rude and refused to put in writing a bid that was more than double, Jake.was a breath of fresh air. We scheduled the job, and although I was understandably hesitant about making a 50% deposit, after checking with Angi, I paid it. He kept in touch with me to make sure that I had the house ready. I should mention that I am in my 60s and am severely handicapped. On the appointed day the crew showed up on time, (10 minutes early) and they were very personable and professional young men. They treated me, my home and my possessions with respect and care. They did an AMAZING job! They were replacing the flooring in about 1/2.my house, including both bathrooms, utility room and kitchen. I put in luxury vinyl planks in 2 colors. They placed each plank carefully to ensure that they were properly fitted to maintain waterproofing. The entire job was done carefully, neatly and with real pride in workmanship, which is a very rare thing these days. And the boys very very kind to my dogs one of whom is very old, deaf and nearly blind. I cannot express how impressed and pleased I am with the service which I received from this company. In addition, when they were putting back my washer they discovered a pinhole leak in the water supply, and worked with me to fix the problem instead of simply ignoring the problem. We will definitely use this company for any other remodeling or repair projects that we may do. I wouldn't hire anyone else!!!!!"

My family has been in the construction industry for nearly 100 years in this state. I personally have nearly 30 years of hands on experience. I have lived in WA state my entire life, my wife and I currently live in Olympia WA. My goal is to give a very high quality of craftsmanship for a fair price. I take the utmost pride in my craftmanship. While I have a (206) area code cell phone number please know that we are local (98516) and live off of Johnson Point Road in East Olympia. Please look at my photos here on Angie's List and also look me up on Facebook under Vanderlip Construction to see more. Thank you and please keep me in mind for your next home remodel.
"Vanderlip Construction brought our ideas and vision to a reality on a master and guest bathroom remodel in our 1961 rambler. Eric is both an organized contractor and an experienced craftsman. He is a thoughtful and very responsive communicator who we could always count on to perform the tasks he scheduled throughout our project. He brought in very skilled team of subcontractors who he made sure didn’t disrupt our home life and office work activities. Eric was generous with sharing his expertise and insights that helped us make decisions on key details. We had about an 80 percent design and selected all the tile, fixtures, and custom cabinets but Eric’s attention to detail brought it all together, especially on our counters and master bath shower. Always patient and friendly, he wanted to make sure we were satisfied with the progression and the outcomes. He’s also committed to backing up his work. I suffered a serious leg injury after the remodel and Eric kindly went the extra step to come to our house and install a new light fixture in our bedroom. He scored an A+ on both bathrooms and we made a new friend."

Regular care helps keep the wood looking good and prevents it from absorbing stains from food. Lacquered or epoxy bar top sealed countertops only require regular cleaning. For stained counters, you’ll want to stain again every three to five years.
Oil unfinished butcher block (and any wood) regularly at least once a month for the first year and then at least twice yearly after that. You can use these oils:
Food-grade mineral oil
Pure tung oil
Raw linseed oil
Walnut or almond oil
Coconut oil
Butcher block countertops do require regular upkeep to maintain their beauty and longevity, but with consistent care, they can last for decades. You'll need to clean them regularly with soap and water and apply a food-grade oil or polyurethane sealant once a month to protect against stains and damage. Occasional sanding and refinishing will help preserve a smooth, attractive surface throughout their lifespan, around 20 years.
You can buy butcher block countertops from large home improvement stores like Home Depot, Lowe's, and Menards. You can also find it at kitchen remodeling stores. You can find many online options from large sites and custom work from artisans. However, you’ll likely get the best price through your installer.
Yes, butcher block countertops can be kept sanitary with proper care. Regular cleaning with soap and water—or a mixture of vinegar and salt—helps eliminate bacteria. Applying a food-grade oil regularly preserves the surface, and sealing it with a bar top epoxy provides extra protection. With these practices, your butcher block countertop remains safe and hygienic for food preparation.
With proper maintenance, butcher block countertops can last around 20 years. This lifespan is similar to that of materials like granite and longer than the lifespan of laminate countertops. To keep them in good condition, you'll need to reseal them regularly—ideally once a month—and clean them routinely to prevent surface damage. If you notice deep scratches, stains, or dings, you can resurface them to restore their appearance.
Butcher block countertops cost less than quartz. The average butcher block countertop costs $3,750, while quartz countertops cost $4,500. This cost advantage is coupled with the natural warmth and unique appearance of wood, making butcher block a compelling choice for kitchen design when proper maintenance is applied to preserve its quality.
