"I highly recommend Aaron Gulick and Kitchen Concepts! We purchased a home with a beautiful large kitchen but it had outdated pickled oak cabinets and laminate countertops. Aaron and his artists transformed my kitchen into exactly what I had in mind. It is now beautiful and looks like it should be photographed and shown in magazines!! I went with antique linen white with van dyke brown glaze over and granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. The attention to every detail shows throughout the entire kitchen. AMAZING ARTISTS!!! Thank you for all who worked so hard on my kitchen and brought it to life with beauty. I'm so proud of my kitchen."
"Absolutely great people. They know what they're doing, they get it done when they say they will, and they charge a fair price. I wouldn't go anywhere else!"

"First job performed by Deatherage Builders was a bathroom remodel in September of 2008 ~ we have continued to use this contractor for several jobs since because of his expertise in his field and professionalism that was brought into our home. Since 2008 Deatherage Builders has been our #1 go to contractor and will continue to be the company we call whenever we need any repairs, maintenance or remodeling done. We had a water leak from a broken pipe in the concrete slab of one of our bathrooms which came up through the floor and walls. I called several companies and contractors and once we visited with Joshua Deatherage we knew he would be the contractor we would hire. From the moment he stepped into our home he was very professional in his mannerisms, knowledge of the job and ability to price out the job. When Joshua gives you a bid, that's what it is ... not an estimate of how much the job will start at and then tack on additional costs as the job continues. He factors in the possibility of unforseen problems and may seem a bit higher than other contractors out there but I guarantee he stands behind his work, above and beyond any business I've ever dealt with since moving to Missouri 20 years ago. After bid was submitted and approved by us and insurance company the work began. Joshua's crew would show up bright and early every morning ~ cover their shoes with protectors whenever walking through our home ~ All debris from demolition of bathroom was taken out through window and instead of workers walking across the grass with wheelbarrows of debris they would walk it down to the sidewalk and around to a pile being made toward the front of the house that they disposed of at the completion of the job. We were very impressed with the respect shown to our home with the "little" things the workers have been trained to do. It may not seem like a big deal to many, but for my husband and I it showed great character that a contractor would take the time to take off and put on shoes in and out of our house several times per day as to not make a mess by "tromping" through our home. It seemed like Joshua would show up at least every other day or daily to check on progress of the work being performed. We have been extremely pleased with his work and as I mention before he has continued to do jobs for us throughout these past 5 plus years, the latest job was in November 2012 where he blew insulation into our attic. I highly recommend this company and think you will be more than pleased with the honesty, integrity and character of Joshua Deatherage and the Company he has built.

Countertops and Backsplashes FAQs, answered by experts
Solid surface countertops are fairly resilient. You can use soapy water or ammonia-based cleaners. You can also occasionally use diluted bleach (around 5 tablespoons per gallon of water) for sanitization. Avoid window cleaners because they leave a waxy film that can dull the countertop’s surface. Solid surface material is nonporous, so there’s no need for sealing.
Yes, you can use paint if you want to refresh your tile countertops. However, you must be mindful of the type of paint you use. Look for options explicitly created for tile that are also waterproof and durable. Over time, the paint will chip, so this is not considered a long-term solution for busy kitchens.
The best tool for cutting countertops depends on the type of countertop material. For some softer materials, like laminate (Formica) and butcher block, you can use a hand saw, but most experts recommend power saws like circular saws, since these make the job go faster and easier and give more even results. However, power saws and circular saws are dangerous if used incorrectly, and they can be so powerful that they damage or chip laminate, stone, and other types of countertops. For this reason, you should take safety precautions and use best practices to prevent damage.
Concrete countertops require regular upkeep and can be harder to maintain than other materials. For daily cleaning, use a mild, pH-neutral cleaner and avoid harsh, acidic products that can damage the sealant. It's important to wipe up spills immediately, especially from acidic substances, as concrete stains easily. To prevent scratches, always use a cutting board. The countertops must be resealed periodically—at least once a year—to protect them from stains and moisture. Be aware that concrete is also prone to cracking over time and may require repairs.
Onyx countertops are naturally porous, absorbing liquids and staining easily without proper care. Regular sealing every 6 to 12 months is essential to keep them looking their best. Daily maintenance includes wiping up spills immediately and avoiding harsh cleaners or acidic substances that can etch the surface.
