The Wood Doctor

Wood Doctor gave us a good price for the work. The repairs to chair arms was great. The sewing machine was repaired and refinished to look beautiful. Our dining room chairs that were re-finished were a challenge. The first attempt was too light, but the Wood Doctor redid them.

Samuel White arrived promptly after we called, made an inspection, and gave us a price that was reasonable for the work that had to be done. We agreed, and he took the table top to his shop. Within a few days he delivered the top, secured it to the base, and showed us how to care for the finished product. It was fabulous, matched the chairs, and we now have what appears to be a new table.

Fine. Took longer than expected but I did not request a rush service.

Dining chair - we had expected him to put in a wood dowel to secure a piece of wood that had fallen off the top of one of our dining chairs. Instead, he used some dark glue that oozed out and is still visible. The end table was stripped down and stained much darker than we asked, and returned to us with the wood very rough - no finish. They re-did it, with not much better results. Stain drips and steaks, uneven tone, etc. Same true for the teak strips on our patio furniture. Not even work, no finish, rough surface. Not what we had expected, and paid way too much for work we will have to have redone.

It was not the best experience. I got charged $100 more. The guy was not very responsive. It took him forever. He got one of my bar stools forever. He said he would be able to fix it. We knew it was going to be difficult. We had another company that said they really can't fix it because it's engineered wood. They put epoxy on it. But, you can see where it was marred. We could have done that ourselves. We thought he was going to finish it and be able to put the same kind of finish on it. Other than that, it doesn't look any different. It looks almost as bad as it went out the door. I wanted to see how he did on the bar stools first with the deal I got. Had he come through, he would have been over here doing all my cabinets. He was a personable guy. It was very disappointing. He led me to believe he could fix it and he couldn't. We just weren't satisfied. We would not ever use him again.

Work is beautiful and was done on time and on quoted price. Very happy with the results. The work was done at the providers facility but pick up and delivery was included.

good as new!

First of all, this big deal said on-site refinishing, and that didn't happen. He came and loaded my precious chairs into the back of his truck and took them to his workshop. I was nervous about this. I bought it because it was supposed to be on-site, and I wanted to watch, but he said he doesn't do that. Why is that your big deal then!? My great grandfather made the chairs himself, and I got them when my uncle passed away. He came up to the nursery to see the wood I wanted to match, and then left. It took him forever to finish the chairs, and I had already sanded one myself! It took several weeks and I had to keep contacting him to check on them. When I got them back, the color on one was perfect, one was a little red. The one on which the color was right wasn't shiny like the other, but it didn't look purposely matte. It looked like he just forgot to seal it. Later that week, I accidentally left the window open while it was raining, and the chair dripped stain all over the new upholstery I paid $300 for!!! The finish was ruined on that arm. It was the chair that hadn't been sealed. I am going to have to pay someone else to properly redo these chairs now.

Beautiful job - a little pricey but the results were worth it.

Great service and results.  They picked up and delivered the pieces back to my home.  Have them working on another antique desk currently.
