We specialize in full kitchen and bathroom remodels. Before you hire anybody give me a call I guarantee that I'll beat the price of any other "contractor" in Winston Salem, Kernersville, Greensboro, and High Point and all surrounding areas. Our quality stands above most expectations and the products are top of the line guaranteed.
"The overall project took about three months. The construction, wiring and plumbing were done effectively and decently. Several things weren't explained very well, if at all. My biggest complaint is that two different items we bought (which we were told would be reimbursed) were not looked at ahead of time. The plumbing was done incorrectly so the shower kit we really wanted couldn't be used. The shower rod wouldn't fit after the tiling. Checking items the client wants to use beforehand is common sense. Pretty disappointing, especially since we bought it toward the beginning of the project so it couldn't be returned (and wasn't reimbursed). J. Ashley did come out after the project was finished to repair an outlet, which was above and beyond his contractual obligations. I would recommend J Ashely for smaller, straight forward work like flooring, but not for anything major or complicated."

My name is Shane Nelson I am the owner of DISCOUNT RENOVATIONS. We have been in business for 16 Years and we pretty much can do it all. The only service we do not provide is carpet. We specialize in bathroom and kitchen remodels. We are very well trained with plumbing, tile, electrical, drywall, painting, carpentry, roofing, and I could keep going. So instead of calling 5 different contractors for one job we can handle it all. Thanks for your time and consideration. Feel free to call 336-655-8402 anytime for questions or appointments. My workmanship speaks for itself. If you want quality work at a fair price then I'm your guy. I am not the cheapest person out there and for good reason. I stay busy so if you are needing work done immediately I'm probably not going to be that guy. I will try my best to accommodate your situation, and can typically schedule site visits within a few weeks. I work long hours to try and get the job done in a timely manner. Thanks for your time and consideration. Please text me or call at 336 655 8402. I will see a text message and respond to it the fastest for I work all day until about 7 or 8 so I do not answer the phone unless needed while putting 100% focus on each job.
"I found Shane Nelson on Angi's List. I contacted him about doing an addition onto a mobile home. On Monday January 6 He brought his tool trailer. On Tuesday January 7, after dark, he brought a small load of lumbar and a machine. I paid him $15,000.00 on January 7. After I paid him, I asked him if he was licensed to work in Virginia and he said no. I asked him if he would be able to get a permit and do the job and he told me it shouldn't be a problem. On Wednesday January 8, I called the building office of Virginia, they told me an unlicensed contractor would not be able to get a building permit. I tried to call and text him several times. On Wednesday afternoon I finally talked to him and asked him if I could just pay him a little amount of money for his time and trouble. I told him to not do anything else concerning the job until I decided what we were going to do about the building permits. I told him I would let him know Thursday morning what I wanted to do. I tried calling him 8:30 am and called several times and also send text messages. He texted me late Thursday evening he text and told me he was coming and bringing material. I texted him and asked him what about the permits. I told him we needed to talk about what is going on. I tried calling him several times and he called me back and told me he had talked to the permit office. He said the permit office told him that I could get the permit in my name and tell the permit office that I was having a family member to do the addition and that I was not going to pay the family member any money. I told him that I did not want the responsibility of the permits or the job and that is why I had hired him. He told me to not worry about permits and that I was overreacting. He said no one would know anything about it. My husband passed away in August from Cancer and Shane told me that if anything came up with it that I could say my husband did the work before he passed away. I told him I was not telling a lie about my dead husband. I asked Shane if I could just pay him $5000.00 for his troubles and if he would give me $10,000.00 back and we could call the job off. He told me that he did not have any of my money left. He said he spent it all on material from a scrap yard that had a no return policy. Then he said it was my fault that I called the job off and he had put off work to do my job for next to nothing. \ He estimated the job at $43,000.00 and that was with him just doing outside of the addition and that price was with me doing the inside work. I told him that my husband sold his car and truck before he passed with cancer so I could have some money and that's the money I gave Shane. I begged him for 10,000.00 back and that I would give him 5,000.00. I told him that I was a sick widow woman with a heart condition, and I begged him to give my money back. He said that money was his for his work and material. I asked him why did you buy material after I told you that I wasn't going to do the job without permits. I have all text messages and pictures of the materials that he brought. I still have not received any money back from him."

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.
