They were very professional and knew exactly what was needed. One chair had a slight problem when we got it back but they fixed it immediately and we are very satisfied.

Although they are not inexpensive, they did an absolutely beautiful job & completed the work within 2 days.  Now, I have the most sturdy, reinforced drawer that will never come apart again, at least not in this lifetime!

It went great.
I have used this company so much in the past, I think they can read my mind.  I just ask them to do something for me and they know what questions to ask to accomplish the task.  They came to my place.  Took some measurements, and pictures and then went back to the workshop and created the perfect item for me.

They did a very nice job! We were very satisfied with their work. They estimated it would take a couple weeks and they completed within the expected time frame.

I am surprised by this request as I have already done one months ago.  Bottom line is the desk was picked up & taken to their workroom, then returned in beautiful condition.  Looked better than I had ever seen it.
Also had a table leaf reenforced.

Excellent. Table surface was badly damaged by leaking solvent material, Harry C. Johnson  & Son Company was able to refinish the table surface to perfectly match the rest of the dining room ensemble. Table looks better than it did when we first purchased it. Appointments for estimate, pickup, and delivery when completed were right on time. Work was completed ahead of time. Pickup and delivery was very professional with extraordinary care demonstrated for both the table and the other furniture and surfaces going out and coming into the house. This is the second time we've used this firm and would readily do so in the future. Highly recommend them.

My chairs are not priceless antiques but they have family associations and are important to me.  Two black painted Hitchcock chairs had white paint adhering to the backs from being pushed against a painted wall (no chair rail).  Also white spots from a previous wall paint job.  The victorian chair belonged to my grandmother, and my aunt (now deceased) did the needlepoint cover, so I wanted to reuse it if possible.  I don't know who the workman was but s/he did a wonderful job.  The victorian chair no longer wobbles or comes apart in your hands, and the two Hitchcocks are almost like new.  Paint was matched perfectly.  I will use them again and I would recommend them to anyone.  Maybe a bit pricey but if you care about your pieces it's worth it.

We are delighted with the results. The chair is sturdy, the table looks brand new. We had no idea the floral inlay is beautifully colored! The veneer repairs are undetectable. The overall finish is now gleaming and uniform. If only we had had this done years ago!

We had some sticker-shock over the price, but given the cost of a (less interesting) replacement piece, we went ahead with the repair and feel we got lasting value for our investment--something to pass on to our kids.

The service was informative, professional, and prompt. The work was completed ahead of schedule (though the original quoted time was pretty generous).

I emailed the company with pictures of the pedestals and the damage.    He gave me a quote of $475-$600.     I took the pedestals in and the office manager looked at it and said it would be $600.   I asked her about how long it would take and she said about 10-15 days,  again no problem.    They contacted me a week later and said it was done.  The pedestals looked great and the legs are sturdy.   I couldn't even tell were the cracks were on the pedestal.   This is my first time having something restored but I think the price may have been a little high.   I had another quote, where I had emailed pictures and they said $475 with the possibility it could be higher but it felt like they may have stayed closer to the $475 (I know that's speculation but it's the feeling I had).   I chose Harry C Johnson & Sons because they were closer to my work and I could go there during lunch.   With that said, since this was my first time doing any restoration, it's possible their pricing is spot on. They did stay in the range they quoted me.
Their communication was great and The work was great.  You could tell that the person that did the repairs took pride in his work and it shows.   I would use them again.

I'm not sure which of the three legs was the one that broke!

These guys are fantastic - I highly recommend them for the quality of their work, very quick service and customer service overall.  We moved over the summer and the moving company broke the leg off an antique desk that was given to me by my parents.  (What was worse was that the moving crew threw away the leg, so it couldn't be reattached.)  I was very worried that I wouldn't be able to get it fixed.  But I called Johnson & Sons and sent them a few pictures.  They responded right away that they could fix it by building a replacement leg and attaching it to the desk.  Within a week, they came out, took measurements and then two weeks later returned with an exact replica of the old leg.  They did such a fantastic job that you can't even tell the difference between the replacement and the other legs. I am so grateful that they were able to help, and $650 seemed like a bargain for the quality and craftsmanship of the work they did.

It went fantastic.  They came and picked up the items and brought them back so much better than when I sent them.

They did fantastic work.  The table looks new again, the leafs extend easily, and the chairs are solid.  I could not believe the difference.  Paco was extremely responsive.  He invited me to come and see the table after the original finish was removed, and demonstrated how different stains would look.  He appreciated that it was a sentimental piece, and offered suggestions and input without being pushy.  Pickup and delivery were very prompt.  The estimate ended up being accurate.  The price is high, but you get what you pay for.  I recommend them 100% and without reservation.

Nick was very accommodating and took into consideration my being chemically sensitive.  He used water based products that we new for him, and when they impacted the outcome of the top, he made me a new one, without any extra charge!  This way, there was minimal off-gassing for me in my home.  So all in all, although the project was slowed down by the making of a second top, it went exceedingly well!

The staff beginning with the office manager, were always positive and helpful and I cannot say enough about their professionalism, timliness and craftsmanship.
I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone in the United States as it would be worth driving even a long distance to save any piece of furniture that you care about.
I want to attach pictures of the before and after of the table, but was unable to find a way to do that on this form.

This is about the fifth or sixth time this year that I had them work on some of my furniture and I am always amazed at the finished product.  The job was fantastic! I have learned to just tell them what I would like and let them do the magic.  They are the experts and they do an expert job. In fact, I just sent them another group of items to work on.

It was one of the most perfect experiences that I have had with furniture refinishing.  They picked up the pieces.  Told me the cost and anticipated return date.  They delivered the furniture in perfect condition, put it in place.  And to top it all off - they finished the job in record time (early).

All I can say is that based on past work done by Harry C Johnson & Co., I knew what to expect when I got my furniture back  - but I have to tell you that I was more than surprised at the finished job.  Both sets of chairs look fantastic. I trust the company to do the best job possible and they did/do.  They scheduled a pick up time and took the furniture.  I told them what I would like done.  They gave me a good price and told me when to expect the items back.  Each time, they exceed my expectations.
