Reviews of Furniture Restoration Near You
Elena's Antique Restoration
We heard about Elena's Antique Restoration from the moving company that had damaged our antique chest of drawers. They always use them whenever they have damage occur to their furniture and recommend them to other people. We had the damaged piece delivered to the restoration shop where we met with the owner. She was very professional and a delight to talk to. She understood what we wanted and we were contacted a few days later with an estimate for the repairs. We agreed to the estimate and she told us it would be about 4 weeks for the repairs to be completed. Well, she called us in about 2 weeks and told us our chest was ready. We were totally shocked that it had taken half the time she had figured. That was a pleasant surprise. When we saw our restored chest of drawers we were really impressed. It looked great! We have some more smaller pieces that we will be bringing to her shop in the future. We learned after talking with her that they do repairs and restoration on all sorts of items. We highly recommend using her services and we will be using her again in the future.

KEEL REFINISHING & UPHOLSTERY
Enjoyed them 'deconstructing' the history of the piece that my grandmother had brought from Mississippi to Texas after World War I. While they're not the cheapest, they are very knowledgeable and did a wonderful restoration on a piece that has a lot of sentimental value for me. They came and picked it up, had it complete when they said they would, and then returned it back to the same spot in my home, and it's beautiful.

A professional with a true talent, Mr. Rowell was a pleasure to work with. He responded to my call quickly, set a date to look at the furniture and was on time. He was even able to repair our sofa frame on the spot, much to our surprise and relief.

It went well. He came on time. Was able to assess the situation and provide fixes so that the drawers were able to open and close and remain on the wooden track that kept them from falling out.

KEEL REFINISHING & UPHOLSTERY
I actually don't remember the date I called, but the person I spoke with was wonderful. They were unable to do what I needed but referred me to someone who might possibly be able to repair my furniture. The person they referred me to called me promptly, came to my house and viewed the furniture. As it turns out, it could not be repaired and I had to go another route. I would definitely recommend these people as a result of their honesty and the person they referred me to was wonderful also.

Furniture Medic
The owner of the local Furniture Medic franchise scheduled an appointment. He was able to come to our house within a few days of our initial contact. He arrived on time, examined the furniture and gave a quote on the spot. I agreed to what I thought was a reasonable price. He set to work immediately, and in less than an hour he was finished. I examined his work and was quite pleased with it. If you looked at the former bad spots, you would never know that there was any damage. He was personable, professional and courteous. Highly recommended.

Several months ago, our dog severely chewed the corner of one of the armoire doors along with scratchs in other places. The damage caused by the chewing was approximately 8 inches long and was so obvious and, we thought, severe that my wife wanted to replace the armoire. After finding Furniture Medic and talking to them on the phone, I decided to try them. Butch Rowell arrived punctually, surveyed the damage and began working his magic. After about an hour and a half, the armoire door looked as good as new. If you really look close and feel the damaged area you can tell that it had been damaged but anyone who didn't know the damage was there would never see it. Butch was extremely professional. He removes his shoes when he arrives, covers his work area to avoid any damage to surrounding areas, and thoroughly cleans up when he finished. I would highly recommend using Furniture Medic to repar any damaged piece of furniture that you do not want to replace for financial or sentmental reasons.

They are wonderful and came when they said they would come. They did an extremely professional job and I felt their prices were reasonable. I feel like they are honest and do not try to rip me off.

The experience went well. I took the chairs to Mr. Keel's shop where they did the work. The only warning I might give is that the shop is on 4th Ave South and parking is limited.
