I am pleased to have found Ken and The Memory Mender to refurbish and restore my 100+-year-old Chinese "cedar" chest. I learned from Ken that it is actually made from camphor wood, among the numerous things I learned from him about the chest. This is an old-fashioned business giving new life to old things. Ken's attention to detail and his consideration for what I wanted the resulting work to look like are exemplary, and Liz's coordination of the various logistical details was most helpful. All that AND the cost was modest.

Absolutely love this family owned business. Fantastic work and very affordable. Some before and after pictures of upholstery work they’ve done for us. I’ve also had furniture refinished and it’s turned out beautifully. I highly recommend them.

Ken refinished my trucks bed wood and they turned out beautifully. Ken went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with finish and took me through his process. Highly recommend Ken and The Memory Mender shop!

Liz and Sarah are a great mother daughter team! They were able to communicate thoroughly through text, phone and email with quotes and scheduling. I dropped off two chairs from my office and they were able to reupholster them and bring them back to life! These ladies are the sweetest and do an amazing job! Thank you both.
