Worked with Greg the manager (although there seem to still be several generations of Maxwells still operating the business!). The quote was competitive with another refinisher and their work was splendid. Once the piece was stripped and repaired they had me come in to discuss how to treat the different veneers on the piece since it was all hidden under blackened shellac previously. The care and love these folk have for antique furniture showed through every step of the way, from quote to delivery. I cannot speak to their speed or timelines since I intentionally had them do the work at a snail's pace while we finished renovations. I really appreciated that they were willing to keep this very large sideboard in their shop for more than six months. I didn't realize until halfway through this project that they have a stockpile of furniture of great quality in an adjacent building that they would be happy to restore or reupholster to your specifications so they are also somewhat of an antique shop as well.
Description of Work: Repaired and refinished a very large walnut buffet with backsplash. Pieces had fallen off the turnings on the legs, required stripping, staining and refinishing.

They do great work and are a bit more expensive. It took a little longer than we thought but they are very good at what they do.

Great job
Description of Work: I had a rocking chair since we have been married which was restored by don maxwell's This chair was under water due to hurricane Sandy. Don Maxwell's did an outstanding job on the restoration. It looks like a brand new rocker. They had to totally dismantle the chair and redo it due to the water damage Thank for a great job at a reasonable price. We can again cherish this for the remainder, hopefully. Thanks again for a job well done. Roger Magnussen

Great, they assessed the furniture and did just what they said. Without completely stripping the furniture which would have been very expensive they did an 80% job with which we are 100% satisfied.

Called them to refinish my lacquer dining chairs and table top, but decided to buy new chairs instead. Also asked them to fix the tray which they did. Will have them refinish the table top when the chairs come, to match the color.
Description of Work: Repaired an antique wood tray with legs inlaid with mother of pearl. It was falling apart because the old glue has dried up. Don Maxwell re-glued the tray, and did a good job.

My dog chewed the corners of a piano bench. Don provided an estimate to replace the wooden top of the bench with a new mahogany top. Although I was willing to pay the price he quoted, he then came up with the idea to create an upholstered bench top which was considerably less expensive and a better option overall. I was very pleased with his creative approach and the bench turned out great.
