Each job is as unique as those I am working not only for but just as importantly those I am working WITH. By this I mean none other than every client(s) is to each their own who some already have a very distinct, detailed, and predetermined vision as far as what they want. Some don't have the slightest idea and are looking for my input, suggestions, expenses and help coming up with a budget that is with in ones reach and that does not overwhelm or discourage a person from making their once dream space a reality. Every person I work with is encouraged to share any ideas, whether you've been revisiting an old idea or wanting to try something new. I will ALWAYS take time to not only sit down & listen to you but discuss, calculate, provide a copy of and discuss any ADDED expenses as well as any incurred CREDITS due as a result of any changes made to an already existing customer agreement. All proposed changes / costs will be discussed to its fullest and must be signed off as accepted by the client requesting proposed changes. I have an open mind policy meaning 1. I always love a good challenge ( The more outside the box thinking... The better! ) 2. My mind is ALWAYS open to ones suggestions , questions, concerns , OR sometimes some of us just need a few minutes of device free, human to human interaction where something as simple as an old fashion conversation is warranted. In all regards , I as your employee , My goal is to give you the tools, provide you with all aspects of your project whether big , small or somewhere in between. Including physical, informative, assistance with finding the best deals, Offering my assistance in the search for items not available in stores or if one is not interested I am happy to fully take on the challenge myself or act as your "buyer" if you will.

Custom Cabinetry, Furniture and Countertops. Consultation, Design and Installation. Showroom Hours: Monday Thru Friday 8:00 to 5:00. Appointments suggested. Accepting Visa, Mastercard, and Discover

"First date scheduled by them, not us, no show, no call, no text. We had to call them to find out the crew got redirected to fix another crew's screwup. They set a new date and same result. Finally showed up later that week. Crew was exceptionally good, cabinets are great. 98 year old house required custom sizes. Decided to add fake cabinet doors to finish one little section of wall and was quoted $1000 and given a timeframe. Called after the time came and went and found they had a really big job in another town and just blew us off. No apology or communication of any kind. Nice cabinets, poor communication and scheduling."

2 employees, home based. Mobile service in-home whenever possible. Prices determined by job, every one is different. I work out of my house or my truck so I do not have business hours as such.

Furniture Refinishing questions, answered by experts

Black stains appear on wood furniture when the surface comes in contact with water and metal for an extended time. It creates a chemical reaction that stains your wood black. Products that contain oxalic acid can remove these stains. Its bleach-like qualities can reverse the stains after a few rounds of application.

The cost to refinish furniture varies significantly depending on the type of furniture, its material, and its age, but the average cost is about $600 per piece. For larger pieces or antique pieces that require greater care, you could pay up to around $1,000 per piece for refinishing. Small pieces of furniture like bar stools or dining chairs usually cost between $100 and $400 each. Your refinishing professional might charge by the hour rather than by piece, in which case you would expect to spend $40 to $100 per hour of work required.

Yes. A good mixture to condition your leather is made from one tablespoon of natural baby soap, a splash of vinegar, and 2 cups of warm water. Mix these ingredients in a bowl and use a microfiber cloth to rub it into the leather in small circles. 

You can apply the same technique with a mixture of one part vinegar and two parts linseed oil. Once you’ve applied this to leather with a cloth, let it sit for 10 minutes before buffing with a small cloth.

When deciding whether to reupholster, repair, or replace old furniture, consider its age, level of wear and tear, and overall value. It’s usually better to repair old furniture because older pieces tend to be made out of hardwood, like oak and maple, whereas newer furniture is more often made out of plywood, medium-density fiberboard (MDF), and other less durable materials. When determining whether it’s worth the price to repair a furniture item, calculate the price of buying a new, similar piece and compare that to quotes from local furniture repair services.

If you recently splashed paint on the wrong area of a wooden object, remove it with a solvent or caustic paint stripper. Some paint that has yet to dry may be removable by hand with coarse sandpaper or a plastic scraper. Another trick for removing dried-on paint is rubbing a dab of nail polish remover on the paint to remove it, but avoid touching the bare wood surface.
