Bob did a wonderful job on all of the pieces he refinished. He is very easy to work with (returned my call within a day, came to our home to see the work and give us an estimate, finished the work and returned the pieces in the time frame he said he would). We thought his pricing was very reasonable and both my husband and I are completely satisfied with his work. I would most certainly recommend him to others and would work with him again.
Description of Work: I had bought a beautiful mid century (probably walnut) bedroom set (long bureau, tall bureau and 2 nightstands) at an estate sale and though they were in very good shape considering their age, they do have a number of scratches and dings that took away from its beauty. The biggest job was refinishing the top of the long bureau which in addition to some scratches, also had what seemed like a lot of pin holes in the wood which really detracted from the beauty of the wood. Most of the drawers had some scratch repairs needed as did all of the legs.

He did a beautiful job, bringing out more of the rich cherry than when I bought them 43 years ago. He was polite, professional, responsive, timely, and at a very good price. I will certainly ask him to do more work for me.

Bob showed up on time and picked up the furniture. In less than 2 weeks, everything was returned to me. All the work was completed and done well. I thought it was odd, that he didn't give me any paperwork for what was going to be done or a bill when the work was completed.

We were very pleased with every aspect of this job. Bob does great work, is a pleasure to deal with, had our table back in less than two weeks, and we felt he charged a fair price. This table has been in the family since 1922, and we know Grandma would be thrilled to see it looking so lovely. We would definitely use Bob again, and would recommend him.

Bob did a wonderful job on the table and chairs. You would never know how badly they had been damaged . We were amazed at the results. Also, his price was very fair and the work was done promptly and efficiently. I asked for business cards to give to several friends who are looking to have furniture repaired

Bob did an excellent job repairing both furniture items. He had to drill down into the very thin chair spindle to insert a tiny wooden dowel. The dowel then had to attach in perfect alignment with the curved top rail of the chair back. Bob also identified a weakness in the edge of the seat of the chair, and took the initiative to strengthen it so that it wouldn't be a future repair. He polished up the chair so that it looks fantastic.
Description of Work: Repair of a Windsor chair, and a Lowboy. Two of the chair back spindles had broken off from the top rail, and the rail had broken as well. The finials on the lowboy had broken off.

Bob did a wonderful job on refinishing the cabinets! They appear new, and his work was done on time. I do not remember the cost, but it was far less than we had expected before contacting him. We plan to hire him again to refinish a smaller, old table.

This was my second trip to have furniture refinished. Best work I have ever had. Stains matched existing color perfectly where just the top surface was refinished. The second piece also turned out perfect ! Already planning on taking addition furniture down that I would not otherwise have had refinished.

Bob was a pleasure to work with. He was able to match, as closely as possible, my scratched-up nightstands to our 28 year old bedroom furniture. The job was done when he said it would be - a miraculous 2 weeks. I've had pieces refinished elsewhere that have been "in the shop" for over 12 weeks. The cost was very reasonable, as well. Who needs to buy more furniture when you can have someone like Bob bring the old and worn back to life? Planning my next project!

Bob was very professional and friendly. He picked up my Grandmother's antique secretary at our new home. The mahogany finish of the old piece was a disaster from age and water damage and one leg was in need of repair. Bob completed the job and delivered the secretary surprisingly fast in about 2 weeks. The work he did is just beautiful! Grandma's secretary never looked so good. Very impressed and pleased.

Bob is still the best in the Burgh! Bob has refinished furniture for us in the past, his work continues to be outstanding. Bob took delivery of the parts during non-business hours which was very helpful. The quality of Bob's work is outstanding, matching the color to a very small piece of flooring. It's beautiful! He finished the job well in advance of the date needed. The cost was far less than we expected. Our carpenter who is installing the railing also asked for trim millwork to be stained the same color, and Bob was able to accommodate. If anyone in Pittsburgh or the surrounding area needs furniture or other wood products refinished, you should definitely contact Bob!

Bob does excellent, high-quality refinishing - our furniture looks beautiful. He charged a very fair price, one that seemed so reasonable to us that we didn't bother to get additional estimates. In making that decision, we were essentially putting complete trust in the other reviews we saw on Angie's List, and fortunately we found that all the good things you read here about Bob's business are true. He was very responsive to our phone calls, he showed up on-time every time he said he would, disassembled and transported the pieces to his shop, completed the work when he said he would, and delivered everything back to us. He's also a very nice man. I recommend his service with no hesitation.
