"Look no further! Our kitchen remodel was top to bottom and even included tear-out of ceiling soffits. From the start: Pricing was competitive with an easy to understand estimate. Classic or trendy, Kristeen teaches at a local college and knows what’s out there and what we could expect. Communication was easy and prompt. Everyone was GREAT to work with and the job was completed ON TIME. They go ABOVE & BEYOND! Over a year after we were done our “Smart” faucet motor went out. At no charge, father and son came out and switched it out for us. We have done our share of remodeling and wish we had found them sooner. I LOVE my kitchen!"

Bordner Home Improvements (also known as Bordner Roofing & Bordner Installation Group) has been the preferred home improvement contractor of discerning Kansas Citians for 30 years. We offer Roofing, Windows, Doors, Siding, Baths, & more, and with over 80,000 happy customers, we're here to help with your next project. We have 158 employees. Use subs for some installations. Cost is determined by the job. No travel charges. Serving Johnson, Clay, Platte, & Jackson counties. Additional email - sayhi@bordnerinstall.com. Additional DBA - Bordner Roofing
"As there were some water spots on the roof, and after we had a hailstorm recently (past couple of months), thought we had better get someone to come out and look at the roof for a possible roof replacement/repair. Not my house, but my girlfriends house, and I had used Bordner in the past for both an estimate and roof repair and knew about the company. The day Jason was to come out he calls 15 minutes before he shows up to the house, regretfully she was not home as she had to pick up her son and would be back shortly. Jason came and left, and calls and says that he sees that other people had been up on her roof for an estimate, would not provide one to her unless she decides to work with Bordner and would be happy to come back out next week to meet her. Soooo, no estimate for a roof repair (which would be out of pocket) or replacement (insurance coverage). Just that if she decides to go with Bordner they would be working with the insurance adjuster. And why would we decide to go with Bordner on her experience with a 5 minute call? What did Jason do to sell the company and want her to work with you guys? No discussion of how badly damaged her roof was or wasn't, whether it just needed a small repair or extensive damage. No mention of their workmanship, warranty, roofing shingles you use (GAF, CertainTeed, Tamco, etc), whether you subcontract your installers or not, how long you have been in business, didn't leave any information etc. How many visits does it take ? You want us to schedule ANOTHER appointment for you to come out? My impression is that Jason was in between appointments and fit her in and didn't want to be late for his next one. My girlfriend was not gone long, and had she been given a 30 minute notice or more (instead of 15) could have been there to meet him. I am very disappointed in Bordner, will not schedule a 2nd visit to get more information, and am gathering additional information from other companies."

"Billy work great with us, providing a unique front landscape design for our newly constructed home. He was very flexible incorporating our thoughts on our plants along with his design. He and his crew completed the landscape, rain gutter drainage pipe to keep water away from the house and did a complete lawn irrigation system using the lake water for supply. He worked jointly with us and our neighbor for some joint water drainage. We have had numerous people asking who did our landscaping as it has good curb appeal. We have Paradise open and close our irrigation system and they are now doing 5 of our neighbors too. I would highly recommend Paradise Landscape."

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.
