"Cynthia did an amazing job repairing several pieces of wood furniture and a leather chair. My dressers had several water ring marks, and a chunk of wood was missing from a wood cabinet. I cannot tell where the repairs were done because the work she did blends perfectly. My leather recliner needed an area refurbished because the color was removed by bleach. Again, a perfect match! I wish I took before and after pictures for you to see. I would definitely recommend The Wood and Leather Doctor, and I would call them again. I took a leap of faith with previous reviews and am very satisfied with the results. Not to mention how convenient that they did the work on site and I did not have to haul my furniture to them! Very professional work ethic as well."

"We had a great experience with this company. Ray and his son Ray Jr. were on time and very professional. They did a thorough job of cleaning our ducts and dryer vent and explained what they were doing as they worked . They were neat and clean and were respectful of our property. We highly recommend them and plan to use them again next year when we will have our dryer vents cleaned."
"Benny and his helper was professional and fast working on the job and it was completed 100% they were both friendly and they both knew exactly what they were doing there was no hesitation on the work that they had to repair on my sectional sofa and the repair was completed in a reasonable timely manner thank you for your professional Service"
"We recently moved to a place with exposed piping throughout. The one spot that did not look good with the piping was the dining room. Augustus designed a long, boxed shelf to cover the pipe and the design was beautiful in its simplicity and elegance. Anthony, Augustus & Vas constructed it and then Augustus & Vas installed it. They were very professional and worked quickly and capably. We have asked for a design from OPAL Studios for another project to convert part of a high ceiling space into an esthetically pleasing storage space. We are confident that they will do a great job again!"
"I hired the company for carpet, area rugs and a upholstered couch. The couch which is 15 years old appeared almost new when they finished and the carpet and rugs were also cleaned to perfection, even getting rid of tough stains. They were punctual and extremely professional. I do plan to use there services again and recommend them to family and friends."
