The Gilder

Luciano is terrific. His work is extra-ordinary. He knows what to do with damaged furniture. My tables looked like new.

Excellent workmanship, affordable prices and great communication. Will patronize again!

Luciano was a joy to work with. He is very professional and the workmanship was outstanding. We had a very large dining room table refinished to a darker color and we are very happy with the finished product. Luciano was extremely helpful in guiding us thru the whole process of refinishing our table.

Very professional. Job well done.

From the first contact until delivery of the finished product, Luciano and Anna were professional, courteous and extremely helpful. The chairs were lighter than I expected but Luciano was correct in using the lighter stain since there were many variations of color in the wood. The chairs blend so well with the kitchen cabinets. I have already recommended him to a friend and will definitely use his services in the future!! I am COMPLETELY satisfied.

Luciano was very professional and finished the project ahead of the estimated time. My table looks like new. I'm very happy with the results.

I had a 60+ year old coffee table refinished. It looks new again and I am so happy to recommend Luciano to others. The new finish will be easy to care for and I am sure this table will be enjoyed by family for many years to come. Thank you!

I entrusted Luciano with a cedar hope chest that had been in my family for 100 years. It needed some repair and needed to be refinished. I wanted the natural cedar wood color, instead of the original dark cherry stain. It came out beautifully, it looks gorgeous and it will now last another 100 years! He picked it up and delivered it back, and sooner than I had expected. Really quality work and he obviously understands antiques and knows what he's doing. Great choice, highly recommend.

Everything about this experience was wonderful,. The table has been beautifully re-finished and 12 chairs skillfully re-upholstered. Luciano Colella is the quintessential professional. I recommend him most highly.

The craftsmanship demonstrated on my refinished table was nothing short of amazing. We had a family heirloom dining table that belonged to my husband's grandmother and it was restored to showroom quality. The table needed woodwork as well as refinishing and he also made a beautiful leaf that matches perfectly. He picked up the table and delivered at precisely the time he was expected. He is courteous and professional and I simply could not recommend more highly. If you hire him, you will not be disappointed!

This piece came out so much better than I ever imagined. I am delighted with the work and professional care The Gilder gave to my Hoosier Cabinet. The value to me is priceless! Definitely will recommend this quality business to others.

Exceptional craftsmanship. Did an awesome refinishing job on turn of century French dining room table and complete restoration of 1920 American desk. And did pickup and delivery (including tough logistics getting the table to the dining room). Highly recommend them!!

Luciano is friendly, accommodating and does excellent work. We had both a desk refinished and DR chairs reupholstered. The work was superb. I have absolutely no hesitancy in recommending The Gilder

Wonderful to work with, and couldn't be happier with the tricky refinishing job needed for my four antique tables. And really cared about quality job. Excellent all around!

We have a bedroom suite which I had custom built when I lived in Mexico. Recently, it was damaged when we had the house painted. Because of the nature of the work to be done, we turned to HomeAdvisor to find someone with these skills. We found The Gilder run by Luciano Colella. He took on the project to repair and restore the furniture. When he came to deliver the finished product we were amazed. The quality and care of the work went beyond what we expected. I would highly recommend The Gilder to anyone who needs this type of craftmanship.

I was impressed by the prompt response to my inquiry; the promptness of having someone come to the house and professionalism demonstrated when I met Luciano; the quick turn around; the expert craftsmanship of their work; the reasonable price associated with the task at hand, and their genuine care for their work product

Luciano was polite, knowledgeable, master craftsman, professional, responsible, and easy to work with. Definitely recommend him

The a Gilder was a true pleasure to work with. They restored our damaged dining room table and it looked better than knew. They were prompt, attentive and do top notch work. I highly recommend.

Luciano is a master craftsman and a consummate professional! Great choice!

Wonderful to work with. Expert advice and superb, top-quality results. He is a master at what he does. I highly recommend Luciano!!

My husband and I bought a new bedroom set for our 25th wedding anniversary. Of course having it in the house for only a couple of months, some type of plastic melted into the wood on the top of the dresser. It's still a mystery! Anyway, Luciano did an outstanding job in restoring it (looks like it just came out of the fractory). You can trust The Gilder completely. He is prompt, careful and courteous. Thank you Luciano!
