Glass and Mirrors, Metal Fabrication & Restoration, Buffing and Polishing

About us

We are one of the only restorers left in this area. We are a Lladro authorized repair center with the ability to obtain authentic Lladro replacement parts. There are 7 employees on staff. We get referrals from some of the best known museums, art appraisers, jewelers and historical societies in the area. We are on our second and third generation of clientele and receive shipments from all over the United States. Each piece is evaluated on a case by case basis and is quoted according to how much is damaged and how much needs to be recreated. We love a challenge. Even if the item cannot be restored as original we can usually come up with a creative solution to give it a second life and an interesting new chapter in its history.

Description of Work: I inherited a large Victorian-era silver fruit basket holding a crystal bowl. It was black with tarnish. My husband thought it would never look good. I was amazed at how it sparkled after House of Renew cleaned it! My husband said that when he saw me exit the building with it, the basket shined a bright white in the sunlight! There are a few spots where the previously-applied lacquer removed the silver, but you have to examine it very closely to see them. We now proudly display it in our home!

If you have a lot of heirloom crystal or glass and you would like it to be fixed, House of Renew can fix. There is usually a wait for turn around, but their prices are very resonable.
Description of Work: I brought some champagne glasses to House of Renew because they were chipped.

The did exactly what needed to be done. You cannot tell that something had been broken in the first place. I have given them Daum, Steuben, Herrend, Strongwater and all have been repaired perfectly.
Description of Work: I cannot believe that anyone would be unhappy with their work. It is excellent. I have used them many times to repair very costly glass pieces and they are amazing. They are priced reasonably and fair. I have trusted them to repair glass artifacts that are in the $10,000 range without a problem. I will continue to use this company.

I believe they can repair just about anything and make it look new. They restore items to perfection. Color matching is perfect. I've also had silver re-plated. Everything is fair including price. It could take a long time to make a repair but the results are always excellent. Repairs are expensive but fair considering the amount of work that is done.
Description of Work: They have repaired a wide range of items, from broken china and porcelain to restoring antiques of all kinds.

The quality of the tray and tea set was bad given that they hadn't been polished in about a year. They had told me it would take 8-10 weeks to get the work done. They called me after 10 weeks. After 10 weeks and at a pretty high cost, I was expecting perfection. The work was OK, but not terrific. Next time, I'll go someplace else.
Description of Work: They replated a silver tray and polished a tea set.

Response from House of Renew
It's always disappointing to hear someone was left unhappy. Our silver replating has a twenty five year warranty for normal wear. If the plating was unsatisfactory,we could easily have had it reprocessed. Sometimes, with older pieces, there can be pitting and damage in the base metal that may still show to some degree. Without knowing fully what the problem was, we would be just speculating on what can be done. We are a service oriented company, we always hope our customers leave happy or are comfortable enough with us to share their concerns.
