Review №1

I was fortunate to find an antique sewing machine in it’s intricate white oak parlor cabinet. The sewing machine and cabinet are almost a 100 years old. I was even more fortunate to find Kirk who painstakingly and meticulously restored the cabinet and it’s treadle mechanism. The final product is worthy for museum display, it’s that amazing and a pleasure to behold. Thanks again Kirk!

Kirk did a fabulous job refinishing an old mirror frame that had tons of detail work! He even replaced the mirror with lovely beveled glass, which was a perfect finishing touch. It turned so much better than our highest expectations, and made for the very special gift we were hoping to give. Everyone who has seen it is beyond impressed!

I have four pecan pieces of living room furniture from the 70s, still very functional and suitable for my home. However, the tops of the coffee table and an end table were destroyed over time by water damage (from watering plants), and they looked horrible. Kirk came out to assess the situation. He quoted me a fair price, and took my two pieces away. I didnt expect to hear anything for 2 months. Within three weeks, he was calling me to say they were done! The transformation was AMAZING! The tops of the pecan pieces look brand new now, and all four pieces look really fabulous together, once again! Thank you so much for your quick work, Kirk!! My living room is a very happy place!!

Kirk did an amazing job restoring an early 1900s curio cabinet for my wife and I. Piece by piece he was able to completely disassemble and properly refinish the cabinet. Kirk is very passionate about his work and he even took the time to help us better understand the history and value of our item. In the end I could hardly recognize the cabinet, at over 100 years old the piece looks brand new again. Kirk even picked up and dropped off the item, making the process even easier. Thank you!

Kirk restored a 1940s dining room set that I inherited. It looks better than it ever looked in my memory—and I delivered some tough work to him. He brought out the beauty in the maple that was hidden. Its now almost got a tiger eye effect in some places when the light is right.

Kirk did an absolutely amazing job on our antique hope chest. It had originally been my wife’s grandmothers and over the years had been damaged. He completely restored it and in time for us to give to our daughter for a wedding present.

Kirk is very skilled, professional, reasonable, and completes projects quickly. He did a marvelous job repairing my great grandmothers lamp table. I highly recommend his workshop.

Kirk refinished and updated 2 pieces of furniture for us. An antique cabinet and a desk from the 60s. We were very pleased with the results. Both look great and I would highly recommend him.

Kirk did a great job on repairing a broken chair leg. I dropped it off on a Thursday afternoon and it was ready at 9:00 Friday morning. Nice guy with a nice shop.
