When in doubt, one of the best countertop materials is butcher block.
-- Identical twin brothers Drew and Jonathan Scott host the popular TV show Property Brothers. On the show, the brothers help families find, buy and transform fixer-uppers, adhering to agreed-upon timelines and budgets. The show has aired in over 150 countries and airs on HGTV in the U.S.
Drew, a real-estate expert, helps clients identify neglected homes that might be good candidates for acquisition and fixing up, provided they fit the would-be owners’ needs, tastes, lifestyles and budgets. Drew also leads negotiations for home purchases. Brother Jonathan, a licensed contractor, guides the planning and execution of renovations. He oversees design choices, construction work and budget management. Essentially, the show is a mix of home-buying advice, design inspiration and home construction tips.
In a February 19 article published on the home-focused website hunker.com, author Gabrielle Hondorp summarized the twins’ perspective on kitchen remodels and countertop material selection in particular, writing, “You have to really consider where you should spend and save in your kitchen renovation. It can be tempting to try to cut costs, but in some areas you shouldn't — one of which is your countertops. When in doubt, one of the best countertop materials (even when weighing pros and cons) is butcher block. Not only is it affordable, durable, and versatile, but the wood wears well over time and is also a great way to add warmth to your kitchen. Unlike any other surface, it also serves as a built-in cutting board and can be used to prep food without concerns about dulling your knives.”
Understandably, Kathleen Grodsky, president and owner of online retailer Butcher Block Co., was delighted to learn of The Property Brothers’ endorsement of butcher block - the material upon which she built her successful and thriving business. While Ms. Grodsky concurs with the brothers’ sentiment, she boasts that butcher block countertops have even more notable advantages.
“In addition to their affordability, durability, versatility and warmth, butcher block countertops are relatively easy to maintain; since wood is a renewable resource, butcher block is eco-friendly; plus, they’re repairable, as minor scratches or dents can be sanded, filled and refinished,” Grodsky explains.
“But perhaps their biggest advantage is that they come in a wide range of wood species (BB Co. offers 16 different woods) and construction styles (BB Co. offers 5). So regardless of kitchen style, feel, color or lighting, homeowners can find the perfect countertop to suit their particular needs,” she claims. Ms. Grodsky suggested, “The best way to understand butcher block’s design-versatility advantage is by visiting the photo gallery on BB Co.’s website, which features hundreds of photos submitted by happy customers eager to showcase their own countertop remodels.”
