One major complaint was price of the move. Be sure to get a written estimate. One that you can hold them accountable. I accepted an estimate over the phone without insisting on one in writing. The final bill was over 40% greater than the estimate. That was my error in accepting an over the phone estimate. Company was referred by a friend. So I was made that mistake. Buyer beware. Insist on written estimate with this company. Turned out to be most expensive of the three movers I contacted. Second major complaint is the owner never followed up with me after the move to assure I was satisfied. I mentioned my surprise of the charges to the lead employee. It was not his issue as he did not give me the estimate. I considered contacting the owner. It was a "he said, he said" at that point. So I did not. Surprisingly, the owner did not contact me either as a general matter of followup or to discuss my comments to the lead employee.

When we initially made contact with her, she told us the desk possibly would go for $700. and the hutch, because of it's size, possibly would go for around $400. The auction was to be held at the end of October. After no contact for some time, we contacted this company and was told the pieces did sell but they had lost our contact information and would send the check out that day, this was 3 weeks ago. I spoke with the owner today, 4-23-2014 and she said she had mailed the check and was VERY rude and had a bad attitude right away. The Owner actually cussed at me (using the F word)!!! She said the furniture had auctioned at somewhere in the neighborhood of $200 to $150 and when I questioned the amount, she got VERY irate, cussed and hung the phone up. It puzzles me that if she had already sent the check, she would have known what the actual sale amount was instead of an estimate. She advertises she is an Appraisal company as well as an Auction company, so I STRONGLY question the price received for the QUALITY furniture we took for her to sell. I DO NOT IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM recommend this company and suggest everyone stand clear of this company. I will be contacting the better business bureau to see what, if anything, can be done to insure this does not happen to anyone else.

Mike's quote for the job was in line with my expectations and the end result was outstanding. The cabinets look new, not just refinished. There were a few minor hiccups along the way, but Mike's team addressed these issues quickly and without complaint. I hired Fisher Cabinets again shortly after they finished the kitchen project to refinish the bathroom cabinets and build a small custom island for my kitchen. This project went off without a hitch as well, and two years later the work still looks fantastic. I would definitely recommend their work and would not hesitate to use them again.
HIRE THEM! Wish this review format allowed me to include before/after pictures- the difference is AMAZING!!! Very professional, polite, and punctual. Jeff Williams Concrete Innovations did an INCREDIBLE job refinishing the concrete floor in my car port using an epoxy flake & sealed floor...

"there was a little rust on the glider so we wanted it powder coated to protect it. Since they sandblast, chemically pretreat and then powder coat, we assumed the rust would be gone and the item would be protected. Well, they don't warrant any item with rust after treatment, so after 1 + years, the rust come through the powder coating like gangbusters. If I had paid more attention to the warranty (any metal items are not warranted for rust) I would have forgone this and saved a lot of money. So if you don't have any rust on your item, you probably will be OK, but if you have any sign of rust don't do it. Chances are it won't protect it rusting later on."

Furniture Refinishing questions, answered by experts
Yes, wood veneer is wood. Instead of using large pieces of lumber, wood is sliced into thin sheets that are glued or laminated to larger pieces of wood. Wood veneer is both cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and versatile. It can be stained or have different finishes—varnish, lacquer, shellac, and more—based on your preferences.
Pros cover many fixes, from upholstery renewals to joint reinforcement.
It is possible to refinish a table without stripping and sanding it by repairing small dents. You’ll use a gel stain, and then put on a wipe-on finish. The downside is this won't result in as smooth and as deep of a finish as if you had stripped the table. Also, any blemishes on your table will remain.
Follow care instructions based on the material, regularly clean, and avoid moisture or heat exposure.
When water penetrates wood, the wood swells, causing the wood and veneer to separate. This separation creates bubbles on the surface of your furniture. If water spills on wood veneer, it needs to be dried ASAP. Surface spills can cause minor damages like white spots and blushing, but if you’re slow to action, you’re looking at more work—and spending—to restore your wood veneer.
