Description of Work: Sand and refinish table

Description of Work: repaired our bedroom armoire after is was damaged in a move.

Description of Work: I brought a chair in for repair on the chair legs. Ryan fixed it within 24 hours. I had to deliver it and pick it up but otherwise I was very well pleased with his work and professionalism.

Description of Work: stripped and refinished a dresser and high boy chest that had been my grandmother's

Description of Work: Repaired damage to wood piano leg. Damage was a deep gouge and the gouged wood piece was not recovered. The repair completely restored the area, matching texture and color of the finish. Looks wonderful.

Description of Work: Ryan reattached the leg on a very large Chest of drawers. Separately he also fixed the bottom drawer so it would slide evenly. The reason I had it billed separately was that the contractors that accidently broke the leg said they would pay for the repair. Actually I hadn't even thought about the drawer until Ryan arrived. The set has sentimental value as it was passed down from my Mother, so it was important to me to have it fixed properly by an experienced person.

Description of Work: Ryan Poulton repaired a broken wooden arm on an old upholstered chair. An excellent experience for both chair and me.

Description of Work: We've had Ryan repair a lot of furniture for our company. Anything from Fine antiques to new age cabinets. His skill is unmatched.

Description of Work: Our 1920s table had water marks, scratches, etc. I thought we would have to spend a lot of money to completely refinish it. BUT, Mr. Poulton spent an hour or so working on those stains and marks, and the table looks a lot better. So much so that we can defer the refinishing for several years. Mr. Poulton was very candid about how well his work would hold up (he said some of the water marks would re-appear) and some did reappear, but not as bad as the original stain. He also gave us some good advice about what to do and not do to clean the table. I would call on Ryan Poulton again to assess any furniture refinishing in our house.

Description of Work: Ryan repaired a dresser drawer by reattaching the front panel to the drawer sides.

Description of Work: We have a treasured family heirloom dining set imported from china years ago, and at a recent family dinner one of the chairs was noted to have a broken leg. I contacted Ryan and arranged to bring it to him. He inspected the chair, gave an estimate and fixed it securely within his estimated time frame. He was professional, knowledgeable, and reasonable, all great qualities in someone who you are entrusting you valued family belongings to. I will use him for everything that needs repair from now on.

Description of Work: Spot repair to dining room table.

Description of Work: Ryan fixed two bed rails for an antique bed. Even though the work ended up being more involved than he expected, since the existing wood trim had been glued on and he had to chip it off, he stood by his bid.

Description of Work: We recently moved to Vancouver and the arm to a dining room chair was damaged by the movers. The wife, who had always wanted new chairs, purchased a new set of chairs but they did not match the color of the dining room table. We contacted a couple of Vancouver furniture repair/renovators by telephone and email. We had to leave messages when we called the firms. Neither firm responded to our messages or phone calls. We found Ryan on Angie's list and made contact with him after leaving an initial message on his phone. His return call was within hours of our initial call which I found refreshing based on our experience with contractors since moving to the area. Usually, it has been days, rather than hours, even in the cases when contact was made. Ryan and I agreed to an appointment at the house to view the table at our house. He arrived on time and viewed the table and two extension leaves which we wanted to have refinished to a different color. He gave us a quote, which I accepted on the spot, and he loaded the table to take back to his shop. He also took one of the new chairs to use as a color guide to ensure that the table closely matched the new chairs. He contacted us approximately a week later to arrange delivery. He delivered the refinished table and received payment but before he departed I asked him about repairing the damanged chair. He looked at it and said that he could also repair the chair (which is all I wanted in the first place but the wife was not to be denied her new chairs!). He gave me a price and to hold the cost down I told him that I would pick up the chair from him at his location in south Portland. We agreed and three days later he called to say the chair was ready. I traveled to south Portland and took possession of the chair and it looked almost brand new.

Description of Work: I had a small entry table that is over 100 years old. I had Ryan make some minor repairs done and lightly refinish it with a new matte lacquer finish,

Description of Work: I called Ryan because we had a nightstand base of an open-style nightstand that was scratched by a cleaning crew. Ryan was very professional and suggested I send him photos of the damage. He was able to come onsite and repair the scratches.

Description of Work: Randy fixed finish damage caused by a solvent spilled on our dining room table. He matched the color of the existing finish, then added many coats of clear finish to restore a smooth surface. Randy was great to work with, fairly priced, and produced a result we are very pleased with.

Description of Work: Ryan repaired and restored several antiques: two nightstands, the dining room table, a large mirror, and an upright piano. Everything turned out even better than we thought possible,

Description of Work: I asked Ryan to consider/look at four pieces of wood furniture that need varying degrees of refinish work. Even though we reside only 12-13 miles apart, it was more efficient for me to take pictures of the pieces in question and email them to him for quick evaluation. We then discussed them at length over the phone and he gave me enough information to make a decision not to repair two of the four pieces (very good advice). The other two he was able to handle okay. I had very serious flaking of the finish on two end tables. He fixed the wood in question and matched the stain and finish perfectly ... flawless work.

Description of Work: Ryan meticulously repaired damage inflicted by professional movers and industrious family pets on several pieces of antique furniture.

Description of Work: He repaired six pieces of furniture for me.

Description of Work: Ryan refinished and stabilized chairs a 1920's dining room set that was originally my grandparents. The table had been in my parent's basement and used for canning when I was growing up, so there were a lot of marks, including burn marks. The chairs were also really squeaky.

Description of Work: We called Ryan because we had two pieces of bedroom furniture that had split and warped while in storage. He came out, looked over the work, puzzled through with us our options and then went to work. He repaired two splits on a vanity/dresser - one on the top and one down the side. He also consulted us on the repair of a second dresser with a similar split down the side. He was about 10 minutes late, which is the only reason I put a B for punctuality. He did come out on a Sunday though, so that made up for it.

Description of Work: Repair a office chair and touch up chair and desk.
