About us

We have been in business since 1987. There are three employees. Most of our business is from word of mouth from satisfied customers. We also work out of Muskegon, Michigan. The (231) 740-2171 phone number is my Michigan number. We offer professional antique furniture refinishing and restoration, professional wood stripping, and cabinet refinishing and repair. We also provide caning and weaving services, which can save you a significant amount of money by repairing and refinishing what you already own versus buying brand new. We will also work with you and your insurance company if you experience furniture damage as a result of water or fire. We do custom furniture painting including outdoor patio furniture. We can also coordinate services with other trusted suppliers (such as upholsterers) if necessary.

The furniture were family pieces. I wasn't sure if I wanted to keep the chairs. John gave me a number of ideas. I ended up keeping the chairs and upholstering the seats, which had been wooden (and not very comfortable). I would not have thought of this idea on my own. I also wasn't totally sure exactly the stain I wanted. He took the time to show me how different options would look. I LOVE the outcome. Beautiful and comfortable! I highly recommend John!

I was very pleased with the customer service given to me by the owner. He was pleasant and professional. He estimated that the price would be $125 - $150 and that I should allow 3 weeks for completion. In three days, he called me to say I could pick-up my repaired bookcase. Not only was the leg re-attached to the bookcase and repaired, he did more than he said they would do by touching up the finish on the legs and making the wheels actually roll. A very good job was done overall and I would use 2nd Time Around again.
Description of Work: The leg of a 2-shelf, solid wood, bookcase which had broken off was re-attached and repaired. The bookcase legs and top were refinished

They did a great job. We matched up the paint color and he did a lacquer kind of a finish to it so that it wouldn’t show up. He filled some the places which were in bad shape too. He completed the work. He took an extra week to complete the job. The price was close to the estimate that he had quoted over the phone without having seen the bump bed. He told me it would cost anywhere from $250 to $400 and it came around in-between.

Excellent workmanship. I can't even tell which spindle was replaced because the wood grain and stain match perfectly. The repair took about 2 weeks, as promised.
Description of Work: Replaced a broken spindle on an oak chair. Completely re-made the spindle and stained it to match the chair.

We have used Second Time Around before to refinish 7 pieces of older wood furniture. That work was excellent. This time, we had John refinish the existing cabinets. We had looked at a complete remodel (tear out, new everything) and also a refacing job but decided those were too expensive. Since we were finishing just the doors and drawers, they had to match the existing cabinet boxes. John took two doors to his shop, stripped one and showed us that we had solid hickory doors/drawers. Pleasant surprise! He worked to match the color and finish. Once we approved the color/finish, we scheduled the rest of the work. He came one week later, took all the doors and drawers, and about a week later, we scheduled the re-install. They came on-time and re-installed everything. We bought new hardware as well. John aligned all the doors - a tricky job. He touched up the boxes and repaired a big scratch on the front of our counter. This took about 3 hours. The new finish matched the boxes and we are very pleased with the results. One note - if you're in a big hurry, you may wish to go elsewhere. John has a shop in Noblesville and one in Michigan. He has people working at both locations but he is the person who comes to your home, reviews the job, does the estimates, etc. He splits his time between the two shops so he's not personally available every day of every week here in Indy. If you do have time, are not in a rush and want to get a really quality job, Second Time Around is for you.
Description of Work: As part of our kitchen remodel, we chose to have the cabinet doors and drawers refinished rather than replaced or refaced. Approximately 35 doors and drawers.

John did a beautiful job and was very efficient and professional. I am going to have him back out to refinish some furniture pieces.
Description of Work: They refinished the kitchen cabinets. (66 cabinet doors) He came out to my house to demantle the cabinets and brought the doors to his shop where he sanded them down and refinished them. When the cabinets were done, he brought them back and re mounted them.

John was very nice and professional. He was up front about what he thought it would cost and how much work would need to be done. When he was finished doing the work he took time to tell me exactly what he did and why he had to do the things he did. He helped unload the chairs when I brought them to him and then helped load them in my truck when they were finished. He was very nice about putting some bubble wrap on two chairs that could possibly hit while I was driving. I am very pleased with the service I received.
Description of Work: Repaired 4 chairs that went around a bumper pool table. He put in new metal parts inside the chairs so that the arms were attached securely and made them good as new.

I WAS GIVEN A QUOTE OVER THE PHONE OF $125 WITHOUT HIM SEEING IT. ONCE HE SAW IT HE ADJUSTED HIS ESTIMATE TO $250. THEIR PRICE SEEMED HIGH BUT I WAS ASSURED THAT I WOULD HAVE IT BACK BY CHRISTMAS. I AGREED TO HAVE IT DONE BECAUSE IT WAS A CHRISTMAS GIFT FOR MY HUSBAND. THE FRIDAY BEFORE CHRISTMAS HE HAD IT READY. HOWEVER I COULD NOT PICK IT UP THAT DAY. THE NEXT MORNING I LEFT HIM MESSAGES WHICH WERE NOT RETURNED. FINALLY SOMEONE ANSWERED AND I WAS ABLE TO PICK IT UP. IT TURNED OUT OK. WHEN HE STRIPPED OFF THE COVERING HE LET IT SIT TOO LONG AND AS A RESULT IT DRIED UP. IT CURLED UP SO HE HAD TO REPLACE IT. IF I HAD TO DO IT AGAIN I WOULD NOT PAY $250.
Description of Work: THEY REFINISHED A 125 YEAR OLD SOLID WOOD SMOKE STAND.
