Don and the Golden Age team did a phenomenal job restoring my heirloom Duncan Phyfe table, which has been in my family for 4 generations. They replaced missing claw feet with perfect matches, brought the wood back to its original mahogany glory, stabilized the chairs, repaired the drop-leaf mechanism, and did a beautiful upholstery job. I could not be more thrilled with the end result. Can not overstate how highly I recommend these guys.
Don did an excellent job on my treasured trunk from Norway. I didn’t want to make it brand new just preserve it. Very happy with the results.
Thrilled to have found Golden Age refinishing. Don and Dean did an absolutely wonderful job refinishing my old paneled door. I was going to replace it but am so glad I called Don. It had cracks and stains and was crooked, and now is satiny smooth and perfect. I have also used them for some more furniture pieces and will continue to use Golden Age when I need repair and refinishing. So happy they are doing this work!!!!
We’re lucky to have found this place. Don and his team did an amazing job of restoring an old ice chest that has been in my family a long time. It turned out beautiful and they took such good care of it. We have another project with him now and can’t wait to see how it turns out.
I have had a number of items restored by Don at Golden Age and will continue to bring items for restoration as they are very skilled, friendly and have affordable pricing. The bookcase below is my favorite piece, and they did such incredible job although the pictures still don’t do it justice. It belonged to my great grandfather and had been moved from Oklahoma to Minnesota back in the 40’s and incurred quite a bit of damage over the years since. The backing had been replaced at some point with a piece of wood that had my great grandfathers name and address on it but was warped and not in the best shape. Somehow, they managed to repair the wood to look new which allowed the memento of my great grandfather to remain as part of the bookcase. I love how Golden Age does everything they can to keep everything original-they are very adamant about that. Their work made my dad very happy as well, and he is not easy to please when it comes to antique restoration work. Highly recommend Golden Age for any such job!
