A piece of my childhood “Heather Hill Farm” in East Otis MA has been beautifully and carefully restored. Having missed my family’s farm in the Berkshires over the past 2 decades, I delighted when Restorers without borders finally agreed, after initially thinking it to be too much of a wreck, to bring back my dream of this Victorian-sleigh, and restore the sleigh to its new and Improved artistic state. Won’t my grand daughters be delighted, not to mention my family who thought it aught to be kissed goodbye. Well, it went great…Better than expected and I and my family will treasure this piece of our history for all of our days. Heart felt thank you to Mauty and Alphonse and all the team at Restorers Without Borders. You are the best! Sincerely, Janet Nagy Hanley

The Art Deco set was in very bad shape (needed repair, refinishing and upholstering) AND holds a great deal of sentimental value. A very high demand that was met with the most incredible attention to detail, magnificent skill, outstanding customer service and much needed and appreciated humor. My husband Scott and I would highly recommend Jeff and the team (Afonso, Wren, Mauty and others). You will not be disappointed. You will receive the utmost quality and service. And you will be treated like family. Afonso and the team took so much pride in their work they were actually emotional on delivery day. They so wanted us to be happy with the final results. We could not be happier! Gina and Scotty

Amazing! The piece we had was a mess; a hand-me-down we had got for free. The team at Restorers Without Borders fixed it, stripped it, cleaned up the hardware and did the most amazing high-gloss paint job. It looks fantastic. We couldn't be happier.

Restorers Without Borders are artists and they paid attention to every detail -- from helping choose the stain, fixing the latches for the table leaf, and making a table that has been in our family for years look better than any of us could have imagined! Thank you for your incredible work!

We were very happy with the service from start to finish. Detailed proposal, pick up/delivery, meticulous work. After years of sun damage, indoor heat, daily wear our lovely Biedermeier table had lost its luster. Three of the six chairs were unusable or unsafe. RWB brought our beautiful set back to life. We are so grateful!

I presented Restorers Without Borders with a challenging project. The living room set was 50 years old and it required an expert to repair. My initial contact was with Jeff, via email, and he responded quickly and patiently as we went back and forth many times with photos and information. We arranged a home visit and he arrived with Alfonzo to further evaluate the project. The proposed work was carefully explained to me, an estimate was provided, and they transported the furniture to their shop. The completed project was delivered before the given date by Jeff, Alfonzo and Roberto - the entire team. This is indeed an expert team. The repair work is flawless and the upholstery is elegantly done. The set actually looks better than when new!

This summer I had a French Curio Cabinet restored along with a gold leaf guilted frame. The workmanship on these items is amazing. I appreciated how they were preserved as antiques and brought back to life. Restorers Without Borders crew moved the glass cabinet from Wellesley to their shop and then delivered it to me in Maine. I highly recommend this company.

I am so happy I found these guys. My beautiful walnut, mid-century bureau is reborn! Gorgeous work. From the moment I contacted RWB, they were responsive, friendly, VERY professional, on time (not just for the appointments and delivery but for the entire project!) These guys really love what they do. No snobbery, no upselling, just expert craftsmen who love bringing old pieces back to life. HIGHLY recommend them. I'll never use anyone else.

Restorers Without Borders did a wonderful job refinishing a dining room table and repairing, refinishing, and re-upholstering 2 dining chairs, 2 side chairs, and an ottoman. Besides being first-rate artisans, they are honest, transparent, and responsive -- a pleasure to deal with at every stage of the process.

Fantastic! The team at RWB is excellent! They promptly called me back when I submitted an email inquiry initially, kept me updated on progress, and met my deadline due to moving out of state. They also helped me with delivery to my new home. The piece is beautiful and I can’t thank them enough!

Restorers without Borders has been my go-to shop in the Boston area for all my furniture restoration needs. For several years, they’ve been restoring my family’s antiques: including a Victorian era upholstered and mahogany chair, a 1950s wood card table and leaf, antique Japanese nesting side tables I found on the sidewalk. And the latest item was my grandmother’s dresser and mirror that was no kinder attached. They built a new frame for the mirror to attach to the dresser. The results are absolutely beautiful! The team really understands the inherent beauty of furniture. Their masterful work truly restores - brings back to life - these loved pieces so they have a second life. I am so grateful to have found Afonso, Jeff, Paul, and everyone at the workshop. I can’t recommend them enough!!

I am so pleased with the work done to restore my antique French gold curio cabinet and Windsor chair. Both pieces had significant damage with injury to structure and finish as a result of time and use. To see them brought back to their original beauty and function is thrilling. I have trusted Jeff, Alphonso, and staff at Restorers Without Borders with my family treasures for years and each time they amaze me. Thank you!

My solid oak early-20th century dresser was in disrepair -- drawers fell out, finish was faded from being in the sun... The guys from Restorers Without Borders communicated well from the beginning about their process and I was really pleased with the results. They came to my home, gave me an estimate, picked up my dresser, and delivered it back to me a few weeks later in beautiful condition. They even carried the dresser up 3 flights of stairs. (Thank you Afonso!!!)
