About us

Please note the phone number given is a masked number and not allowed to accept texts or direct calls. To do so please call 708-409-5100 or 708-774-1946 or email [email protected]. Since 1923, we manufacture, refinishing, restoration, reupholstering, custom furniture & sales, bent glass, beveled mirrors & leather tops, & caning. Come and see our restored antiques, antique reproductions, and genuine Capodimonte lamps and giftware from Italy. Solve your heirloom and antique problems with complete restoration. We do not fix, repair or reupholster motion furniture or recliners as well as upholstery, spring, and leather repairs. Bring back the original character of your old masterpieces. Period furniture is our specialty, but not our limitation. Removers and strippers can damage the luster and character of the wood. At Montalbano these are never used. Instead we use a specially formulated thinner to completely dissolve the old finish as if it never existed. The item is then taken apart as necessary, re-glued, repaired, completely hand sanded and prepared for its new twelve step finish which is second to none. We are specialists in water, fire and insurance work. We offer free factory estimates and home estimates are available. Pickup and delivery is available. Our other services offered include; leather replacement and bent glass doors, caning as well as expert reupholstering with our 10,000 piece fabric gallery. Manufacture, refinishing, restoration, reupholstering, custom furniture & sales, bent glass, beveled mirrors & leather tops, & caning. We also reglue, repair, and reupholster kitchen and dining room chairs, including animal damage- ie chew marks in the wood. We have changed location so kindly call and make an appointment to look at your needs. We are not always onsite. No mechanical, electrical, motion, rips, and tear repairs.

I had 2 Mies van der Rhoe ottomans in need of reupholstering. Montalbano Inc. recovered the cushions and polished the chrome. Both ottomans look brand new. They did a great job.

Wonderfully. I could tell Mr. Montalbano loved his work when I dropped off my hopechest - I knew he would take good care of this item that was my mothers- and over 65 years old. He refinished the hope chest in 4 weeks and it looks fantastic. I have a bedroom dresser I will bring to Mr. M. next.

The work was fantastic and I cannot recommend Montalbano enough. It is always a leap of faith entrusting something that is important enough to be refinished or repaired, but you can't go wrong here. I had a large dining room table that needed refinishing, repairs to the legs, and staining to match dining room chairs. You can see the impeccable work from the before and after shots below (you can also see the reupholstered chairs as well). Also, they took our loveseat, which was held together by bungee cords, and made it solid and beautiful again. Pricing was competitive and the work was second to none. Also, the fact that they are super-nice people doesn't hurt either.

The table and chairs are absolutely beautiful! Montalbano did a great job. They got them back to me way ahead of schedule. The delivery and pick up guys were great, timely, and efficient.

It was a draft leaf table, they cut through one of the paddle. I notice it a year later, I was shock it can't paste the back together, really an American made in Vermont, they ruin the table substandard service, the table was ruined. Highly unethical business. Workmen sawed through the top of my drop-leaf table. Never owned up to their "mistake." Instead, tried to hide it. Covered up the damage so well I didn't discover it until a year later. I was heart-sick. .

The replacement cane seat on the rocker was a different color than the back of the rocker, so it looks off but the rocker is 50 years old and it may not have beeb possible to match the colors. There is also a small chip in the cane seat already and no one has sat on the rocker yet. The two wooden boxes were 80 years old or so and the lids were detached. The bigger box was reclued and a latch was added to prevent the lid from falling off again.It looks like the glue that was used and the clamp have taken the color out of the wood and it is very apparant. I am really disappointed as this company has an excellent reputation and the revews were very positive. The boxes were handmade pieces by my Grandfather, very happy to have them back in "working condition" but disappointed in the craftmanship. My husband felt the cost was "pricey" but the pieces were repaired as we asked. The turnaround time was very quick, much faster than expected.My husband picked up these pieces for me, if I had been there I would have said something. Also, you pay in advance so no need to complain if you aren't happy. I won't be doing that again.

I am so happy and pleased with the restoration work done by Montalbano Majestic International. Rich was easy to work with, gave excellent suggestions, and all the work was done in a timely manner. The table sustained considerable water damage and they were able to make the table "better than when it was new". The prices were very reasonable and I will definitely use them for future projects.
