Phil did a beautiful job restoring our family’s piano bench. The piano was originally purchased by my great-grandmother and has now been in four households in our family. While the piano itself had been kept in good shape over the years, the bench was in rough condition when it came to us—shabby, wobbly, the wrong color, and the hinges had broken off the top. Phil restored it to its original beauty. The bench is now sturdy, beautifully finished, and looks exactly like it belongs with the piano again. It means a lot to our family to see this heirloom brought back to life so it can last for generations to come. It’s great to find a local craftsman who takes this much pride in his work. Highly recommend Phil if you have furniture or heirloom pieces that deserve to be restored the right way.

I have a dresser from my grandmother. It's seen better years in its long time in my family. When I got it, I decided to have it restored more for sentimental reasons than anything else. We had it restored here. I never expected it to come out so amazing. It now a feature piece in my house.

Look no further if you want spectacular service and craftsmanship! Phil and his team are absolutely amazing. They enthusiastically took on a considerable challenge: picking up a large chest for me (twice!) that was initially misplaced, reassembling a severely broken hand-carved family heirloom, staining it to make it even more beautiful than it originally was, and going out of their way to do this all over the phone! Phil is super communicative, friendly, and fast. I am thrilled with the results. I thank my lucky stars I found them and simply could not recommend them highly enough. Thank you, Phil and team!!!
