Awful. My wife called and the owner got another call and said he had to take it because it was a salesperson he needed to talk to. My wife then took pictures of our furniture and emailed it to him with what we needed done. No response via text, phone, or email. I wouldn’t let these people do our furniture if it were free.
Description of Work: We needed antique bedroom furniture stripped and refinished.

Mr. Keel never replied to my email and I did not have time to pursue it any further. I suppose there's a possibility that Mr. Keel lost my email or that he replied and I never received it but I have no way of knowing. This review demands that a location where the work was done be provided but of course, there was no work done.
Description of Work: I Emailed Mr. Keen and asked if he could repair/refinish a small cabinet for us. I said in my email that I could provide some pictures of the cabinet for him if that would help. He replied via email that I could send him pictures of the cabinet. I had a folder in my DropBox account containing pictures of the cabinet and I sent Mr. Keel the link which would gain him access to the pictures. I also stated in that email that if he was uncomfortable clicking on a strange email link that I could reduce the picture sizes and attach them directly to a future email.

I called Mr. Keel a little after 4:00pm on Thursday, 4/3, to inquire about having several pieces refinished and or reupholstered that were damaged when a fire sprinkler pipe burst in our home. He said he was on his way out to attend a meeting but would call me the next day. On 4/4 I went by the shop with a list of items and descriptions. He wasn't in but I was given Mr. Keel's card and told to email him pictures of the items. I left my name and contact number on the list I left for him. Later that day, I sent him 8 emails with a total of 20 pictures asking for a quote and availability. I never received any follow up from him after the 3 different ways I contacted him.

Description of Work: I contacted Mr Keel by Email and sent a picture of the chair I wanted to have him work on, this was approximately two weeks ago. He did not respond to my email so I contacted him by phone this past week, he said that he had just made a delivery and would call me as soon as he got back to his shop. I am still waiting on a call, if he didn't won't to work on my chair he should have been courteous enough to call and tell me.

Enjoyed them 'deconstructing' the history of the piece that my grandmother had brought from Mississippi to Texas after World War I. While they're not the cheapest, they are very knowledgeable and did a wonderful restoration on a piece that has a lot of sentimental value for me. They came and picked it up, had it complete when they said they would, and then returned it back to the same spot in my home, and it's beautiful.
Description of Work: Refinished a more than a century old stacking chest that turned out to actually be a side table put on top of a bureau that had the mirror removed.

I actually don't remember the date I called, but the person I spoke with was wonderful. They were unable to do what I needed but referred me to someone who might possibly be able to repair my furniture. The person they referred me to called me promptly, came to my house and viewed the furniture. As it turns out, it could not be repaired and I had to go another route. I would definitely recommend these people as a result of their honesty and the person they referred me to was wonderful also.

The experience went well. I took the chairs to Mr. Keel's shop where they did the work. The only warning I might give is that the shop is on 4th Ave South and parking is limited.
Description of Work: I had 2 broken wooden chairs that I wanted repaired. One was a wooden dinette chair that the dowel had popped out of position in the leg. It made the chair unstable and it could not support a person's weight. The other was an old ladderback straight chair that my parents gave me when I was a child. One of the crosspieces supporting the legs was cracked. Keel was able to repair both chairs. They did the work for a reasonable price, and in a timely manner. I have a child's wooden rocking chair that needs refinishing, and I plan to have Keel do that work, too.

Description of Work: picked up two antique caned chairs to be recained, and picked up one antique table to re refinished. The owner said it would take 2-3 weeks, but it took 2 1/2 months. We called him several times and he always got back to us saying his recaner" was very busy. When we did get the 3 pieces back we were VERY pleased with the results.

Roger Keel came to my house to pick up a large multi-leafdining room table and matching end table, gave an estimate, discussed initial stain colors, and followed up exactly as he said he would to make sure the finish was just the shade we wanted. The refinishing looks incredible and the service and communication were excellent. Great experience! He and the people he works with have a great appreciation for quality workmanship.
Description of Work: Refinishing an original Heywood Wakefield dining room table and end table, both of which had very damaged, worn surfaces. The original finish was stripped, the wood sanded, and a new stain and finish applied. The furniture was picked up and delivered very carefully by Roger Keel himself.

I am so pleased with the work that was done by Keel Upholstery. It was super simple to have them come and pick up my chair and then deliver it a few weeks later when it was done. The upholstery work is lovely, the chair looks brand new. The guys that picked up and dropped off were friendly and professional - very careful when moving the chair to not bump door frames, etc. - and the price was great considering it was totally low hassle for me. I would most definitely use this service again. :)
Description of Work: Roger Keel picked up a chair from my home and returned the re-upholstered chair two and half weeks later.
