We take pride in our work and create value through competitive pricing and unbeatable warranties.
"How did it go? Not well. Sales guy said we did not need replacement and only quoted a repair. When the carpenter showed up and said it needed replaced, not repaired but they could go ahead do the lower deck and fence stain while they were there. I came home that day to find stain dripped down the driveway and splattering my grille and pool cleaner covers ( which were no where near the fence or deck) and the top rail of fence was not stained. I was also peaved that they damaged a hose connection when they apparently used my pool fill hose to spray something down after staining. I contacted Shane and he had Wade the satin guy come out and power wash the stuff off the driveway, but they were not able to remove stains on the grille cover nor the pool cleaner cover. About 10 days later the carpenter returned with the wood to replace the pergola. The carpenter and helper did a good job. They took two days to tear out and replace. Wade returned after a few more days to stain that new wood and touch up scrapes left by the carpenter' ladder. I immediately noticed where parts of the new work did not get stained. With the stain being dark brown and the wood being pressure treated Yella wood it really stood out to me. The unstained areas were easy to reach and easy to see from the deck. It looked like he just forgot to hit those spots. I reported that to TBS. The admin assistant said she would speak with crew and the owner and get back to me. Two or three days after no response I contacted the office as they were sending final invoice for the work again. The lady I spoke with had Wade call me and he explained that he was going to take care of the grille cover and touch up work. I explained that it needed to be done ASAP and I was not happy that they left me in the dark thinking they were not going to follow up. He said he would not be back anytime soon as I was 2 hours from his house, but could return the following week. A couple days later I got the invoice notification again and i contacted them to say I can pay the invoice when they get the work completed or they can pay me $350 to finish it for them. A week went by before I got a reply that said the owner would like to accept my offer to finish it myself. So, I had to go buy some Behr and brushes and finish it after all. Now I'm left feeling that this contractor lacks quality control. If the sales guy came out after the work and sort of inspected it with the crew before trying to collect the invoice they would probably catch this stuff themselves and prevent the back and forth BS we endured. If they knew somebody was coming out to QC their work they might be more careful. And yes, I did contact Rocky. He said the hose they damaged was old and rotted anyway ( like that was the issue) and claimed I did not give them a chance to make it right. I guess it's too late now. caveat emptor"

"5 stars for the final product, 3 stars on the customer service experience. I contacted Akraba fully aware of their minimum but had a number of tasks and wanted to have the work done by professionals rather than trying to DIY it. This included replacing a window that would not open, replacing an interior double door with one that would lock, repairing the cosmetic damage around a skylight, and replacing a ceiling fan. Louie and Ily reached out immediately, listed to our concerns, requests, and HOA requirements and were able to not only provide a quote for the needed work but also quoted out replacing our fence at a more than reasonable price. While we did have some minor issues with the workers they sent (primarily regarding scheduling), Louie was very reassuring throughout the process and personally came to review and address each concern. Now that the work is complete both we and the HOA are happy with the work they did would recommend them to anyone that needs large projects done."

"5 Stars – Absolutely Outstanding Kitchen Remodel Experience with Max! We recently completed a full kitchen remodel, including a stunning quartz transformation for our island and countertops — and I can confidently say that working with Max was the best decision we made. From the very beginning, Max went above and beyond. He spent time with us, guided us through selecting the perfect stone at the warehouse, and made sure every choice aligned beautifully with our vision. What truly stood out was his deep knowledge and genuine care throughout the process — always advising us on what would work best and what to avoid, never rushing, always thoughtful. Once the project kicked off, Max was incredibly hands-on. He was there every day, closely supervising the work, ensuring everything met the highest standards. His crew mirrored his commitment — precise, professional, and clearly passionate about their craft. The final result? Absolutely stunning. Our kitchen came out better than we could have imagined — elegant, modern, and full of warmth. It has completely transformed our home. If you’re thinking about remodeling your kitchen, stop searching. Trust Max. He is truly one of the best in the industry, and it was a pleasure having him lead our project. Can’t recommend him enough!"

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.
