They arrived right on time on the day of the appointment. All was well until the original guy that came out to the house told me that he didn't want to try to move my china cabinet. (It is of average weight for a traditional china cabinet.) He said he didn't notice it before, which was interesting because he had asked me to empty it. There are only two pieces of furniture in the dining room, so I'm assuming he forgot about the china cabinet. He wanted to leave the cabinet in place without refinishing under it. I expressed concern about the floor looking different where it wasn't refinished. Then he said the floor might get scratched if he moved it and asked me if I would be OK with that. I said "no" to that. He asked if I was ever going to move it, and pointed out that the floor couldn't be seen under the cabinet. I explained that the furniture might be moved, and that the contract indicated the entire entire floor was to be refinished. He left, explaining that the rest of the floor needed to cure before moving the cabinet, but promised that he would come back out to refinish under the cabinet "for free", but didn't seem to want to schedule a time to come back. I was supposed to call him later to ask for this last bit of the job to be done. Before he left, I suggested that the lambswool sliders that he had borrowed from me to slide my heavy couch across the floor could also be used to move the cabinet. Later that day, I noticed thin shiny streaks throughout the entire floor. The floor looked like it had scratches. The owner came back out to see it himself, was very nice, and sent the same two workers back out to do a second coat. The floor looked nice when they left, BUT THEY LEFT AGAIN WITHOUT REFINISHING UNDER THE CABINET, saying they would have to come back because they didn't have something they needed to do the job. IDK Not understanding when they were going to finish the job or why they didn't finish the job on the second visit, I decided to ask the owner directly. I texted the owner's phone and asked when they could come back out to finish the job. 9 days later, there was still no response. I texted again and asked for a reply. This is the response I received from the owner's phone. It is an exact quote with no missing words: "My guys are coming out next Wednesday. I cannot just spend gas time, and labor making multiple trips out, so this will be the last time. Please understand if my guys cannot move the cabinet safely, then you will have to hire professional movers." I texted back and asked if the owner really typed that response. I haven't gotten a reply as of today and it has been almost 3 weeks, so that is why I am writing this review. By the way, I moved the china cabinet myself using the sliders I had suggested they try. It took me about 5 minutes and didn't harm the floor. They finally came back and refinished under the cabinet as promised in our contract. The floors look nice, but it was a major hassle working with this company.

This is exactly why this review is rated highly. We had a couple of items in the cabinetry genre that needed attention. We informed him of our thoughts that we may put our home on the market and that we didn't want to go overboard on repairs and refinishes. After we showed him item 1, he indicated a particular repair process that we could cheaply and sufficiently perform on our own! (He even told us the method, the names of the product and where to go to buy and get further guidance.) Item number two was a huge money making opportunity for him. Refinishing a good amount of cabinetry. However, he assured us that it wasn't in horrible shape, and again gave us details as to how to fix our wood products. Item number 3 was wallpaper removal, wall painting and trim/door painting. He informed us that he is no longer in that business. So, in reality, we did not contract him for anything or pay him for anything. But he DID provide service to us. This is why I checked the yes box regarding services performed. We have not contracted him to perform any work, because he convinced us it wasn't necessary. Whaaaaat? Brad was truly professional and gracious. I immediately forgot the name of the products after he left and called him on the phone. He answered the question again for me. Then...two days later, he followed up with an email to see if we had tried the repairs, yet. What wonderful customer service. When I need something done in the cabinetry or wood furniture refinishing areas, I am calling Brad at The Finishers!!! I think you'd be pleased with the high level of customer service that Brad supplies.

With most of their furniture priced so reasonable, product moves quickly. You can easily go once a week & enjoy new finds. Most all of our furniture & decor is no longer made in the USA. Most of what the furniture stores sell, is very cheaply made. Over 80% (if not more), is made out of compressed wood with a micro layer of laminate. This makes buying antiques or vintage that more important. At Knick Knacks, I've found & purchased pieces that have been refinished & those that need refinishing & I've done it myself. I prefer the later. I have a lot refinishing products & love to do it myself. Of course, every time that I've bought a piece that needs work, it's much cheaper. It's so satisfying to buy an older piece that you know will last. More so, if you put your on work, skill & touches to it.

Furniture Refinishing reviews from real Angi homeowners in Desoto, TX
We wholeheartedly recommend Daniel Mount at Gleam-Guard Wood Refinishing to refinish your cabinets. Our kitchen cabinets are “pickled,” or whitewashed, which is something of a lost art. Daniel did a wonderful job, matching the previous finish perfectly, and at a very fair price. It was...

Furniture Refinishing questions, answered by experts
Craftsmanship begins with detailed design followed by skilled artisans shaping high-quality materials into the desired furniture, ensuring durability and uniqueness.
Follow care instructions based on the material, regularly clean, and avoid moisture or heat exposure.
You can modernize an old-looking closet by just painting it, but beyond that, consider electric elements like recessed or accent lighting. If this is a large and deep closet, you can consider adding an island to the middle or a nice ottoman on a rug. Luxury closets will have even more items, like felt-lined drawers for watches and jewelry, in-wall safes, electronic shoe storage, or a tablet catalog of their items.
Wood stain does go bad, but it will last in the can for between three and six years, provided you use proper storage techniques. Storing wood stain in open containers or in extremely low or high temperatures will cause your wood stain to become unusable much more quickly. Water- and latex-based wood stains typically last for just two to four years, while oil-based wood stains can last for three to six years.
Yes, many services include refinishing as part of the repair process. Confirm with your contractor.
