Beckett Furniture Repair

Mr. Beckett repaired a child’s rocking that was a family heirloom from Germany, made by my wife’s grandfather. A moving company broke it during a move. The chair was repaired, new caning in the seat area, and you could not even detect any of the repair work! Cost was at the given estimate amount. Timing was within estimated time. I will be giving him more heirloom repair work. Absolutely the best!

Excellent on all counts. Mr Beckett was punctual, didn’t keep us waiting for either pickup or delivery, and the workmanship was superb. The doors look better than they did when new. And the cost was more than reasonable given the size of the doors and the ornate detailing involved.

He fixed it and charged what he had estimated., Can't ask for more than that.

Trunk looks like new - great finish

Mr. Beckett did a first rate job stripping the finish off, while not dissolving the glue joints that held the frame together. After a light sanding, I was able to finish it in the proper stain color. I was very happy with Mr. Beckett's work.

The chair was repaired with great skill. Very happy with the result.

I contacted him and send up the appointment, via Angies List. He communicated well before coming and was flexible in scheduling. He arrived at the appointed time, or even a few minutes early. He looked at both chairs. Both of them needed recliner mechanism repairs. One of them needed a structural repair to the wooden wing. In doing the repairs, it was decided, one would have to go to the shop, for the structural repair to the 'wing' on the back, and the other would have to go for mechanical repairs to the base. Since the chairs were identical. the top portions were swapped, so that he only had to take ONE of the chairs. He also offerred at the time to contact the manufacturer of the chairs, LazyBoy, to get a replacement mechanism under warranty. However the chairs were so old, they did not stock the parts, so he repaired the mechanism. At the time he took the chair, he said he would supply an email with the estimate, which he did! He took the chair on the 06/18, and delivered the repaired chair back on 06/24. He called to set an appointment for the delivery of that chair, and was prompt. During the entire process, he was very communicative! He charged $195 to fix one chair, and $125 to fix the other. He does have a 'trip fee' for delivery, which in my case was $55. He does accept check and credit card, however there is a 4% fee to use a credit card. All in all, a great experience from a skilled furniture craftsman. He gave me great information about the chair, in that it used all REAL WOOD, except the for 'wings'. The mechanism was one of the older solid mechanisms, I would definately use again.

Tim did an absolutely fantastic job on our antique chairs & bachelor's chest. The finished products were truly beautiful & made functional once again. He was prompt, polite, professional, & treated our furniture with great care. We would hire Tim for any future furniture repair needs without hesitation.

The work is well done --- down to matching the antique finish on pieces where only part of the piece needed reworking. Tim Beckett is polite and professional and my experience with him has shown that he is as good as his word when he schedules pick up and delivery times. It was a real pleasure to work with him. He was thorough in his estimates and there were no surprises. I recommend him unhesitatingly. Beckett will be working on some more pieces for me after the new year and I anticipate being just as happy with these as I am with the pieces that were just returned. They had glass cut to fit a tea cart, took care of staining, rub marks, and gouges, and beautifully mended the leg of a mid 19th century desk that had snapped off. The coffee table and bureau that were completely refinished are just lovely. I couldn't be happier.

He took the time to completely disassemble the joints that were loose and clean off all dried adhesive. Then he applied new adhesive and reassembled, clamped and cleaned the chair. Working out of his home, it was a little hard to find his location even with his address in my GPS. I was surprised at how expensive the repair was, but considering how much work he put into making the repair it was a fair price.

Good repair job - slightly pricey, but you get what you pay for.

Wonderful outcome. Rocker looks great, cannot even tell where piece was missing. Cleaned the rocker, looks better than it has for years.

Due to manufacturer's cost of parts, I decided not to proceed.

Mr. Beckett was so professional and the work was impeccable. He provided a written estimate so that we knew what to expect. Both sets of chairs have sentimental value because they came from family, so we preferred to repair them rather than buy new furniture. Two of the dining chairs had been damaged in a recent move and the moving company had someone repair them. The man did a terrible job and left them in worse shape than when he began. Mr. Beckett took care with all of the chairs, including the ones that the other repairman had "fixed." The kitchen chairs had been neglected for decades and were in awful shape, but Mr. Beckett brought them back to life. We hope they last another 100 years bringing together family and friends for meals. We will definitely call on him again for repair work.

Everything was great! Mr. Beckett provided an accurate estimate to repair and refinish the desk. This included new veneer on the top, stripping and refinishing the desk and repairing loose joints on the drawers and desk body. The price also included pick up and delivery. Mr Beckett used a piece of burled walnut veneer for the top after he noticed that it was a great match with the rest of the desk. I think the desk is beautiful and really reflects Mr. Beckett's love of furniture!

It took a long time to get on the work list as they are very busy. But, they stated the wait accurately and completed the work promptly. Work was well done. Very happy with this company and customer service.

They responded to the request for an estimate immediately, setting up an appointment time for the next couple of days. They arrived right on time, providing good information and an estimate that they could explain. The job was finished early and came in under the estimate. They were professional on all levels. It was a great experience.

We have an antique oak desk that has moved around the country with us. In the last move, two of its legs broke off. Tim Beckett repaired the legs, refinished the top of the desk, and cleaned the rest of the desk. The desk's top had had alcohol spilled on it by a previous owner, and before and after that the continuation of years of dust and grime. In restoring the top, which was veneer, it was discovered that the veneer is tiger oak -- a really beautiful variation of colors. Beckett did beautifully with all parts of this job! We'll call on him again.

Mr. Beckett provided an competitive bind and was chosen due to his explanation of required task, cost of repair, and friendliness. He accommodated our scheduling changes and made himself available as needed. The pedestal accent table had belonged to my grandmother and had not been used in over 50 years. Upon receipt, it looked new. The wood was a golden brown unlike the blackened wood that left our house. Discolorations had been removed and imperfections no longer existed. Mr. Beckett will be repairing/restoring more items of furniture for us.

Beckett sent a repairman to my home. He evaluated the piece and gave me an estimate. He transported the piece to their workshop, and returned it when the work was done. The bill was slightly less than the estimate. No one could tell the piece hadbeenrepaired, it looks wonderful.

The whole process went great. He picked up the break front from my mother-in-laws house and did the work in the timeframe that he promised (which I think was about 4 weeks) and dropped the piece back off to our house. The finished product was stunning and he took great care when he delivered the piece...wrapping separately the doors that had glass so they would survive transportation. We communicated mostly over email which worked great for me. He was responsive and always on time. Would highly recommend this individual to others.

He said that neither piece of furniture should be a problem, and the water stain was an easy fix. Verbally, he said he thought it would be around $300, and that he would give me a written estimate after he researched the price of the casters. The oak chest of drawers turned out very nice. The antique wash stand which was "no problem" to repair, was returned with a water stain present. It was better, but the stain was still there. I did receive a written estimate of $400 before he did the work. The casters were pricey, and a furniture pick up fee had been added. He was professional, and the furniture was returned when promised. I just ended up paying more than anticipated.

Great work. Had them spray paint two homemade cabinets and fix an antique gramophone player cabinet. He did a great job providing estimates, recommendations, picking up, working on and dropping off teh furniure. I would use again without hesitation.

Overall the process went well and the service meet out expectation.

He will be here tomorrow to refinish a desk and chair. They were very pleasant on the phone and seemed very professional. I will use him again in the future.
