Great job. Pleasant to work with.

Excellent, good price, good job!

I have a set of dining room chairs that belonged to my great grandmother. I don't know anything about antiques but I think they're really nice and really solid. Last winter a friend sat down in one and the leg sheared off. It looked as though it broke in a place where it had been repaired some time in the (distant) past. I put it in the basement because I didn't know who to take it to. Clearing out the basement I figured it was time to get the thing repaired. I called Howard (owns/operates Professional Furniture Services) from Angie's list because he was near my workplace and he advertised that he would pick up and deliver. I also liked that he's a one-man shop so I knew that the person I talked with would be the person doing the work. I emailed him a photo of the chair and he gave me a rough idea of how much it would cost. He came to my workplace to pick up the chair and showed me photos of his work so I was sure that I wanted to hire him - that part was easy because he's clearly done some really huge restoration jobs and has a very deep skill set (caning, finishing, gilding etc). I was expecting a long wait just because that's been my experience with furniture repair. But he turned it around in a couple of days and delivered it to my office. It looks beautiful - you wouldn't know it had broken. I don't know what all he did, but I do know it was a lot more that just gluing the darn thing back together and clamping it, because I know how to do that, and I know what it looks like when it's done by a hack. (ahem: me) In my experience Howard was prompt, professional, down-to-earth, and easy to work with. Would I give him more business? Yep - I just gave him an antique walnut marble-topped table to mend.

Howard was very responsive by coming to our home to see the piece of furniture. He gave us a price. The piece was an early 19 hundreds piece in rough shape. He repair the piece and refinished it. We couldn't be happier. The top had some type of putty after he stripped it. He show us. I didn't think it would look good in the end with the missing wood and putty. When I saw it, I couldn't believe it. The top look like a beautiful cherry top table. No indication there was ever any damage.
