Butcher Block Countertop in Davenport, IA

2/21/2020

0 Comments

 
Butcher block is one type of material that can be used on a countertop. This homeowner originally had laminate in her kitchen but wanted an update so butcher block was installed. ​

Here is a little background on Butcher block. It was commonly used in butcher shops and meat processing plants but has now become popular in home use.  Butcher block countertops can last for 20 years or longer!  This gives it a major advantage over laminate which can typically last for only 10 to 15 years. 

Look how great the butcher block turned out in the photos below.  This is definitely one of my favorite material for countertops, whats yours?

This project was a porch ceiling remodel for one of the oldest homes in Mercer County. This large porch was being remodeled and I was asked to finish the ceiling. We needed to make sure it looked like it belonged, and was true to the history of the building. I think it turned out great!

Ceiling Remodel - Wood Frame Drop Ceiling in Monmouth, IL

2/1/2020

0 Comments

 
This wood framed drop ceiling was installed over an original plaster and lath ceiling. Because of unique restraints there was not enough time to remove the old ceiling and install a new one.  The fact that our customer ran a business from home meant that the typical mess of a tear out remodel wasn't only impractical, but a true liability.  Here are some other reasons for drop ceilings.
   • Absorb and reduce sound
   • Cover up piping, duct work and wiring
   • Give the room a finished look
   • Create an extra layer of insulation to improve the efficiency of your home/business
The last three images are the finished product.
