Could not have been a better experience. Curt is an artist and perfectionist. He goes above and beyond. The project was challenging at times because we are living in the house with furniture, boxes, etc., so it meant moving things around, but Curt was fine with our situation and always turned out a look that was pure artistry. Curt was punctual and professional, quiet and courteous. He comes in and gets right to work. We felt his cost was very reasonable for the quality of the work that was done. We recommend him and will definitely use him again.

This work totally transformed our Bay View Milwaukee bungalow.  The french doors were brought back to life after spending 40+ years in the rafters of the garage. The refinished woodwork makes all the leaded and stained glass just pop.  The refinished crown moulding in the living room makes the 90 year old quartersawn oak  a really stand out.. I had to replace some baseboards and moulding with new oak which Curt stained and finished where you can't tell what is old and what is new.  Curt was punctual and reliable and always left our home clean with no evidence that he was even there.  You can tell that he cares about his work and has true pride in a job well done.  We feel that the increased value that he added to our home was many times what it cost us. Now to the downside of this job; our living room, dining room and front hall look so good that it makes our main hall look shabby. We solved that problem...Curt is coming later this year to refinish the doors and woodwork to bring it up to the standards that he set . A true craftsman that I would not hesitate to refer to anybody.

Curt took the cabinet doors to his shop to refinish and either refinished or cleaned up the cabinets fronts and sides and the drawers on-site. He clearly loves his work, and everything looks great.

The work went well.  Curt performed the repairs on our fire door over several days, and he was very accommodating of our work schedule.  He came back after a few weeks to touch up some of the gouges with a darker filler and varnished those areas.

Curt is a magician!  He matched the stain of the newly installed woodwork (baseboards, door trim, huge antique 5 panel pocket door, window trim & sliding glass door) to match the 100 year old woodwork in the rest of our house.  Some of the new trim was douglas fir and some clear pine.  It looks AMAZING!  We are thrilled with his work. He did such a great job my contractor wanted his contact info. as well for future projects.  I would absolutley, 100% recommend Curt without any hesitation.  I will be calling him again to stain the new trim when we replace our 100 year old windows in rest of our house.

Curt was here every day on time.  He cleaned up so we could use the kitchen every night.

We are having him back to refinish our windows this spring.

Curt refinished the cabinets in our kitchen in the home we are selling. Since we are selling, we did not want to invest a lot in the project. Curt worked with us to determine which cabinets needed the work and how to complete the job in the most economical way. He even refinished the top of a table for me.  The cabinets and table look great! I would highly recommend Curt and will use him again in the future.

Kurt responded quickly with a phone call and estimate. He refinished our front door and side lights. It looks beautiful like it did when it was originally done.

Curt did a great job matching the existing 1920's old stained woodwork.  He was clean and honest.  Would definitely use him again.

After some initial challenge in syncing up our schedules, Curt came during the timeframe we wanted and completed the work timely.  The quality of his work is excellent, with the refinished windows matching the surrounding woodwork.  Some of the windows were severely darkened from condensation, yet he was able to significantly improve their appearance.  His pricing was very fair and he was pleasant to work with.  I would definitely recommend Curt for this type of work.

Very good. His quality work, he is very professional. He is just outstanding. I guess the only draw back about him is that he is really hard to get a hold of.

Did a very professional job. Made sure areas were covered to protect floors, counters and walls. His estimate was right on the money. Was very pleased with the quality of his work that I gave him a bonus.  Would have no second thoughts about hiring him again. I highly recommend him.

I would HIGHLY recommend Curt to anyone looking to have woodwork stained, refinished, etc.  He is a true craftsman, and very professional.  Also, when I look at all of my doors being the same color finish now, and that he also color corrected our "too light" baseboards ... WOW ... it could have truly been a disaster before we hired him.
I know that nobody but us may have noticed some of these things, but Curt felt it important enough to take the extra time to make everything right ... again, he was correcting our old stainer's mistakes as well as our carpet installer's bad installation.
Finally, Curt's prices were beyond reasonable and fair (and I also believe he lived/worked in the Milwaukee area and we are out in East Troy), so we were truly appreciative he was willing to make the drive (several times for 2 separate jobs).
Thanks Curt!!

I am very happy with the outcome of my doors. Curt took care to stain and seal all sides and re-install the doors on their hinges. I would recommend him.  I think my doors turned out better than I could have imagined.

REFINISHED WOODWORK IN OUR LIVING ROOM AND HALLWAY DOOR. HE DOES NOT DO FURNITURE. HE WAS EXCELLENT - CAME WHEN HE SAID HE WOULD AND WAS VERY NICE AND EFFICIENT AND HELPFUL.
