SHULTZ REFINISHING

unknown

I had a small maple wood table with movable side leaves and 2 chairs that had been painted over several times over the years. I contacted Shultz refinishing and they said they could strip the table and chairs. I chose not to have them stain the newly stripped table and chairs due to the additional cost but had them just strip the paint off. Two weeks after dropping off the table and chairs I was contacted that the table and chairs were finished and I could pick them up which I did. The time frame was what I expected for this type of job. When I showed up to pickup the table and chairs I was surprised to see that the table was had been taken apart , stripped, but not reassembled. I wish I would have been told when I brought it in that the table was not going to be reassembled after being stripped. I would not have had it done by Shultz. I haven't been able to reassemble the entire table correctly because the side leaves are supposed to slide under the table and since I didn't take it apart I don't know how the sliding mechanism is to be installed. They did a good job of stripping off the paint but now I don't have the table properly reassembled, which given the cost of stripping is why I rated them the way that I did. They did a good job of finishing to rewire a small older table lamp that I had and also cleaned/polished it nicely. However having the table stripped was the main reason I contacted them.

They do outstanding quality. They seemed to know antiques well and I wasn't worried about them messing up the antiques. You can't be in a hurry because they have a lot of business. It took about six weeks for them to complete our work. I thought the cost was a little expensive. It was a very positive experience.
