"Bobs work, attention to detail and pricing were outstanding. I've been looking/needing a Handyman since purchasing my home 3 years ago and may have found the guy in Bob! He kept me informed of when the service would be done and an issue that arouse during the work. We talked about best solution and moved forward from there. My neighbor has been waiting for me to give him the referral of Bob's work as he too is needing a skilled Handyman......Bob has earned my referral!"

"Carpet restreched for every room in three bedroom ranch home. The project objective was to remove ripples in the carpets which had developed due to initial poor installation - home builder / carpet dealer would not stand behind their installation. This contractor was very honest and professional - project started and completed on time within cost estimates."

"He kept in touch via email, they kept the yard relatively clean during the two days it took to install the fence, they were there when they said they'd be there, they were done when they said they'd be done, and they were super friendly and professional. I would DEFINTELY use them again, and in fact, we're saving up for some repairs and winterizing -- handyman type stuff that we're not good at -- and I'll call them for sure!"

"Bob Bequette of Bob's Remodeling and Repair gave me a bid that was substantially lower than any other bids I received. He began the project on the expected date and did a great job. In fact, I will be using him to complete several additional jobs in my home."

"Very quick, professional service. It was a small project most contractors didn't want to fool with. Q.A.C. handled it very well. I'd recommend them and call them again. The guys were funny, too. A pleasure to do business with."

Countertops and Backsplashes questions, answered by experts

Butcher block countertops are durable, but wood is generally susceptible to extreme heat, so you should avoid placing hot pots and pans directly on a butcher block counter. This will likely cause some aesthetic damage in the form of scorch marks. Instead, invest in some trivets and put your hot cookware on top of them.

Rubbing alcohol won’t damage most countertops, and you can mix it with water to create a disinfecting spray to keep your kitchen clean. It’s safer than using bleach on countertops, which can stain and cause discoloration. Be careful with rubbing alcohol when it comes to lacquered or varnished surfaces, though.

With proper maintenance, concrete countertops can last for decades, with a life expectancy of 50 years or more. At a minimum, they should last 20 years before major issues arise. Their longevity depends on the quality of materials, proper installation, and consistent care. Because concrete is porous, it is prone to cracking and staining. Regular maintenance, including resealing, waxing, and repairing any chips or cracks, is essential to preserve its lifespan.

The least expensive way to build a kitchen countertop is to choose an affordable material. For example, laminate countertops cost about $1,250, while Corian® countertops cost $4,000 on average. Common wood and laminate tend to be the most affordable and DIY-friendly, which will save you the cost of labor. Otherwise, look for lower-end solid surface countertops or ceramic and stone tile. These cost less than natural stone slabs.

The frequency for sealing marble countertops depends on several factors, including the quality and color of the stone, the type of sealant used, and the amount of traffic the surface receives. Marble has a porous surface that requires sealing to maintain its shine and resist scratches. As a general rule, you should seal countertops at least once a year. However, for heavily used surfaces, like those in a busy kitchen or family bathroom, you may need to reseal them every three to six months. Conversely, countertops in a rarely used guest bathroom might only need resealing every few years.
