This rocking chair needed to be reglued and refinished before it could be safely used on a regular basis. I'm glad the customer was interested in doing this work so that this chair could be used again instead of storing it in an extra bedroom. Family pieces like this are nice to have out for everyone to appreciate!

Description of Work: I had my secretary/ display refinished and it turned out beautiful! Craig did a terrific job repairing and refinishing this piece which was handed down from my aunt. The price quoted was right on target and I am very pleased with his work.

Thank you for your very nice comments. It is always interesting to work on family pieces that just need a little help to bring them back to life and allow them to be of good use again for many more years.

Description of Work: He just gave a very high estimate. I had been quoted $300 in the past without pick up - $600 minus the $200 that I paid for came to way o erthe other estimate. I felt that he was price gouging . I will never go to him or recommend him.

Response from Paradigm Furniture Design Studio
My estimate of $600 to repair/refinish her desk was in line with the extensive labor needed to refinish this piece. I come out to do the estimates in person because I often don't know how bad things are until I can see them. Our prices are not the lowest or the highest for this type of work. We are somewhere toward the upper middle range. We do offer free pick up and delivery as well. I am glad the customer was able to get a refund.

From the emailed pictures, I determined that the project involved repair of a hand-woven caned seat. We do a lot of specialty work but unfortunately, hand-woven caning is not one of them. I am glad that the customer was able to get a refund.

Description of Work: I purchased the coupon thinking I could get my kitchen table sanded, stained and polyurethaned for $99.00 When Craig came out to pick up the table ( on time as we agreed) he estimated the cost of the job as close to $900.00. He pointed out that the coupon was for $200.00 off the cost of a job. Plain and simple this is basically a misunderstanding primarily on my part. Thanks for you help on this.

Response from Paradigm Furniture Design Studio
Thank you for your understanding. The estimate for refinishing this table was based on the extensive damage to the top and the need for additional sanding labor to repair the damage. Even with the $200 Big Deal credit to the whole job, the customer felt that it was not worth it to have the work done. I am glad the customer was able to get a refund.

Description of Work: I called the company and asked in advance of even ordering the deal, if the amount of $99, which was the special, would cover the cost of the refinishing, I even referred to a table similar to one on their website. I was told yes. However, when I got there, he said it would be between $500 & $700. I was totally surprised, especially since I had called and gave a reference to a very similar table. That was not a value to me. I told him I was sorry about the miscommunication, but that I had specifically asked before bringing in the item, even before ordering it, so I would be sure. I told him I would be asking for a refund.

Response from Paradigm Furniture Design Studio
This was clearly a misunderstanding on the part of the customer and myself. She did call and refer to a similar piece on my website. After saying she had a similar table, I thought her question was whether the $99 Big Deal would apply for this type of refinishing job. I said yes it did and she arranged to drop off the table. Upon her arrival, I tried to explain our miscommunication to her and what I thought she had meant in our phone conversation. I am glad she was able to get a refund.

He took the spindel, repaired it with the insert of a dowel rod and refinished the piece to blend the crack and you can't even tell it was ever broken. He was amazing and I am elated with the outcome. I learned that he is also a furniture designer/crafter and although I don't need any of that right now, I saw what he could do and you might want to also. It is stunning work. I was so pleased with his service

Craig did a beautiful job restoring a heirloom table. He was very professional and kept in touch with us during the whole process. His work came in slightly below what he estimated and the table looks wonderful. You can tell that he is an artist and loves working on challenging projects.

It went very well. Craig was very prompt for his appointment. He outlined what he would do to solve the problem, gave me a price estimate, and delivered as promised. His turnaround time was excellent.
Description of Work: I have a danish-design bedroom set, and I wanted to have the supporting frame & slat structure on the bed raised in order to raise the mattress. Craig came out to look at the furniture and recommended a solution to achieve what I was after. He had a very thoughtful approach to his work, and provided excellent quality for a reasonable price. I could tell that he is very meticulous about his work. I couldn't be happier. I would highly recommend him.

We are very happy with his work. He even repaired a piece of veneer that had come off from the edge, blending it with the rest of the wood so that it is not noticeable at all now.
Description of Work: Refinishing and re-gluing mid-century mahogany desk. This handsome desk was originally used in a Marshall Fields store in Chicago. We intend to keep it for a very long time. Craig Mann did a beautiful job of repairing loose joints and sticking drawers, as well as lightly sanding, staining and sealing the top of the desk. He even polished the brass drawer knobs and other brass pieces. It is gorgeous.

We simply could not have been happier with Craig's effort and his dependability. We also felt he was very fair in his pricing. Craig is creative as well as a true craftsman, the perfect combination.
Description of Work: In redecorating our great room we wanted to replace the oak railing's Early American spindles in our second story loft/office that overlooks the great room below. Craig Mann designed and built a beautiful, espresso stained contemporary railing with zebra wood veneered panels on one side and cherry panels on the other. Craig also designed and built a sleek, contemporary styled mantel for our brick fireplace. In addition, as a courtesy to us, he did some trim carpentry work to finish our great room redecorating project (the cost of which is not included in figure above).

In 1925 my grandparents were given a beautiful mahogany dining set for a wedding gift from the furniture company my grandfather worked for at that time. The pieces were moved to Indianapolis from my parents home in Boston, where the furniture originated. We were devastated when the dining table was unwrapped and found to be broken into two pieces. We selected Paradigm Furniture Design to restore the table to as close as its original condition prior to the break as possible. Craig Mann proved to us he is an outstanding artisan in his field. Craig came out to our house and spent quite a bit of time examining the table and explaining to me options for repairing the table. He meticulously disassembled the table, wrapped it, and took it to his shop to repair. Craig communicated with me frequently as the repair progressed. Craig did such outstanding work on the table that the break is barely detectable, and only then by the eye that knows it is there.
Description of Work: Mahogany dining table broken across width into two separate pieces. To repair the table break, the table was reglued, then touched up and refinished to hide and blend in repairs to the table.

He does beautiful work! He comes to your home and give you an estimate. Pads the furniture during transport to protect it. He will restore exactly the way you want it. He can also design furniture. He does a great job matching the colors. His pricing varies depending on the intensity of the work. He does marvelous work!
Description of Work: Resurfaced 1940's cherry table tops that were destroyed, and early 1930's kitchen table & chairs restored after water damage. Tightened up & refinished rocker that was over 100 years old. He put back together a wood damaged square side table.
