They never responded to my request. Am sure they were busy after Harvey, but too busy to let someone know that they are incredibly busy?

Work was completed sooner then promised. It looks brand new. With bleaching, they were able to change the color to closely match a color I picked out on their color chart. I have the following complaints: 1. Pick Up and Delivery Fee, Their rationale for it is that they are losing time and staff from the work site to provide this service. I do not feel it is justified with high cost repairs. Mine was $2930.00. I live 17 mi from their work site. It only took 2 people to pick up and again to deliver. It took approximately 15 minutes each time.

They did an excellent job especially the recovering of a sofa and chair. Also did a great job on a piano, all of which were damaged in a flood

GRIFFITH did a good job, and shoe box looks as good prior to the flood and the value was restored.

Awful. The first time the had it over 3 months. Never answers the phone, phone message mailbox always full. Doesn't answer email. Finally getting it back it had an awful film on it. Called them and they said they had a bad batch of refinishing liquid and they would redo it but put us off for months. Then took it. Had it 6 more weeks. Had to push very hard before a big event at our house. Terrible attitude and service. Looks just ok. Not great. Go at your own risk!!
Response from GRIFFITH FURNITURE REFINISHING

"To respond to this review, I would like to address the amount first. The price that was paid and was agreed upon was $900 in which was paid in full. No further amount was paid nor requested. We do agree with having a bad batch of refinishing lacquer and agreed to redo this. The lacquer we used came from a different company and we were not aware of this being a bad lacquer. This is something that we did not become aware of until after the fact due to once a lacquer sets it can at that time react differently. Once the agreement was made to redo the table our company was back logged and worked in the redo of this as soon as possible. We also repaired the legs to the table as well free of charge. We did go back and forth on emails, text, and phone calls and notified said customer that we would notify when the table was complete. We now have someone specifically for the office and emails, phone calls, and messages are responded to on a daily basis. Time frames on refinishing vary in case by case and to do a proper and complete job takes time. We definitely do not want to rush these things."

They picked up my coffee table on 9/29/2014 to refinish it. They refinished it and I was unhappy with the work. They took it back and told me they would refinish it again. Darla is the person that I have been dealing with for the whole process. It is now 2/25/2016 and I have been trying to get the table back since December of 2015. I told them that I would come and pick the table up and Darla threatened me and told me that I could not come and get my table. She told me she would bring it to me, but that she would charge me $200 to bring it to me - I OFFERED TO PICK IT UP.

"Hi, As a rebuttal to recent criticism of Griffith Refinishing, this particular customer left her furniture stored with us for almost a year and without a deposit or no charge to her. She claimed on many occasions that the Deposit check was mailed didn't receive that for 8 months. Although her furniture was completed and phone calls were made She wanted us to hold it till she moved to her new home. Once she moved and paid her bill we delivered her furniture, and she wanted more work done. She is now refusing to pay and claiming dissatisfaction of are work. When it was delivered she said it was " Beautiful "! When asked for the remaining balance she insisted on having something redone which we accommodated.. We also offered a discount! That is where we are for now we have tried to please her but she keeps pushing for more concessions and won't settle on a FAIR deal for us all . We Honor Angie's List and find that it is a ridiculous client who wants a lot for nothing. Thank You!"

I have cherry stained Kent Moore maple cabinets in my kitchen.  The cabinets had faded pretty severely around the areas where we opened them.  I tried several DIY fixes I found online that only made the cabinets look worse.  I talked to a couple of cabinet companies, including one that came to my home to look in person, who told me that nothing could be done other than refinishing my cabinets to restore their original beauty.  The lowest quote I received was $2900 to refinish my cabinets.  Then, I found Griffith Furniture Refinishing.  They came to my home and were able to make my cabinets look brand new using mineral spirits and many different colors of spray stain.  I was thrilled with the results and the low price of $400.  They went the extra mile and cleaned all of the cabinets as well, not just the portions they had to touch up.  I wish I could post before and after pictures here; the results were so good.

"Hi [Member Name Removed], Sorry you feel this way. First of all you paid only for an estimate fee.The tech was sent out to your home to repair a spot that was damaged by you. He thought he could repair it in home but found it was a wallpaper Photograph finish. He had to bring it back to our shop for repairs . There is a before and after photo of the repair on Facebook. The client never paid for. I think Griffith Refinishing did a "GREAT JOB!" . Please, Let Mr. Tarca know the Tech appreciated the tip that was given. Thank You!

They were very friendly.  They were upfront on how long it would take.  I believe there pricing was very reasonable.  I was extremely happy with the results.

I can't say enough about the craftsmanship and wonderful work done by the Griffith team - once they were finished I wasn't able to detect where the problems had been - the furniture was in wonderful shape and looked brand new.  Darla was very prompt with communication and kept me in the loop throughout the process.  The work was completed on time and within the estimate which, for the amount of work that they did, was very reasonable.  Mr. Griffith and the rest of the team were very professional and I could immediately tell they knew what they were doing - they are truly craftsman who appreciate good furniture and know how to take care of it.  I highly recommend Griffith Furniture Refinishing and I will definitely use them again.

Very pleased with the quality and craftsmanship.   Seams, piping, fabric pattern matching all very well done.  Griffith's warned me that they had a big backlog of work, so it would take a while.  And sure enough, it did take a while.

I went in to drop the chair off. The manager went over the chair with me to explain what needed to be done. We also decided that the springs needed to be slightly larger than the original ones.

I had a great experience with Griffith.  They did great work and their prices were very fair.  They even delivered a headboard to my home once the job was completed.  I would definitely use them again!
