Raymond Burkett

Furniture Refinishing and Repair

About us

Self Employed individually owned and operated furniture restoration business. Before beginning my own enterprise I apprenticed with a master craftsman during graduate school, thereafter I worked for several years at the Smithsonian Institution in DC. I have now been self employed restoring furniture and decorative arts in the greater Washington, DC area since 1990. I pride myself on integrity, experience and complete honesty. I provide professional quality work at a reasonable price. I feel confident that I can beat any competitor's price. I achieve this by maintaining low overhead and being the sole employee. So if you are seeking estimates from other craftsmen, please contact me as well and I will do my best to give you a better price. I look forward to the opportunity of serving you.

Description of Work: Raymond repaired two valuable vintage Danish modern wooden chairs that had their back rests snapped off. It was a difficult repair because any imperfections would stand out due to the minimalist design, and it was difficult to find ANY provider who thought they could repair them. But Raymond rose to the challenge and did what it took ... and the end result was nothing short of amazing. In fact, now that they are home with the other two chairs in the set - I can't tell which ones were the ones that were so badly damaged. GREAT WORK!!

He did an excellent job.
Description of Work: I used him to repair and refinish a mahogany dining room table. The pedestal was damaged by my children standing on it. He also restored the leather top to another table of ours. There was another table that my husband had since he was a small child that had gouges in it, paint and crayons markings, and it was in really bad shape. He wanted to keep it for sentimental reasons and it is so beautiful now that it is sitting in my dining room.
