Palmer's refinished a 6ft x 3ft mahogany mirror that has been in my family for 70 years, and facilitated the replacement of the glass. The job went very well and I'm really happy with the result. They picked up and dropped off, stayed within the quote, kept me posted along the way, and only required four days to do it. I absolutely recommend Palmer's and would use them again, maybe for an antique cedar chest my family has had over 90 years. I would trust them with it.
Description of Work: Remove the original mirror (glass), strip out some of the rotted wood, refinish the frame, obtain new glass, install it, reassemble, apply a finish to the wood.

Scott & Ryan of Palmer's Refinishing & Repair did an outstanding job on refinishing our kitchen table. It took many layers of product & time to detail it to get the exact color, stain, stressing that we wanted. They went above and beyond - they are true professionals & perfectionists. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND PALMER'S REFINISHING FOR YOUR NEXT PROJECT.

WOW!!!! They transformed my kitchen. They explained the work to be done, provided a time frame and stayed on schedule. If you are thinking of purchasing cabinets don't...let Palmer's refinish instead

I randomly found Scott thru Google and gave him a call. I sent him pictures of the piece and he said he could fix it. Set a date to come pick it up and he was punctual and very professional. He had the piece for about 2-3 days and what this man did with this furniture was just short of AMAZING! It was well above anything I could have hope for.
Description of Work: I was gifted a vintage piece of furniture with a lot of wear. But it had good bones. I wanted it refurbished.

Scott was great. I had started stripping an old desk and it was just too much for me to do. I sent him pictures and he gave me a price and also told me how long the job would take. He came and picked up the desk and then brought it back when it was finished. The desk looks great and Scott was easy to work with, punctual and professional.

My cabinets were in BAD shape. Palmer's responded quickly to my request for a quote. They scheduled a time and explained the process and what I could expect each day. They took one of my cabinet doors and made me a sample in the color I chose. They arrived on time each day, worked extremely hard, and provided me with what looks like a factory new result. I am beyond happy! I will defiantly use them for any future projects and will happily hand out their information to anyone who wants to know where I got my new cabinets!

Mr. Palmer was awesome! Very professional, cost actual came in lower than the estimate, he was on time and did exactly what he said he would do during the estimate. Love the new hinges on our kitchen cabinets. They are very quiet and now close completely. He is very trustworthy and I was very comfortable having him in my home. He took extra care to protect our hardwood floors while working. He did such a great job I now have him refinishing an antique table.

I LOVE this company. Mr. Palmer and his team refinished my grandmother's antique hutch. He also fixed the door and stabilized the shelves. They finished the job in about a week and it is beautiful. Palmer's also picked up and delivered the hutch which is an added plus. This is the 2nd piece Mr. Palmer has restored for me, and I'm sad that I don't have anything else to refurbish. I HIGHLY recommend Palmer's Refinishing.

During the initial phone call they provided me with a phone estimate of $250 to refinish a coffee table. Without even seeing the piece! We scheduled an at-home visit/pick and within a week the father and son team were at our house to take a look at our coffee table. When they saw it they discovered that the table was much more ornate with carvings than they had expected. It also had a 3-tone finish. The table top was brown; and the legs of the table were gold and white, sort of in a French provincial style. After some discussions, we decided go with a single color. The wife and I were really not interested in the multi-toned French provincial look, since everything in our home is finished in either a cherry or mahogany traditional style. While at our home they matched the color right in front of us and showed us the color palette for the table. Feeling pretty comfortable with these two guys we had them take a look at a bar stool that had a broken horizontal spindle the us used to brace the legs together. They said "no problem" and offered to fix it for $50. One week later to the day they delivered our beautiful, like new coffee table and also like new bar stool. They really did a wonderful job; the service was prompt; and the price was very fair. The best part... the come to your home, are on time, ask pertinent questions about the work, and deliver within the promised timeframe. We would definitely use them again for any wood furniture related repairs. They would also be on my short list if we ever decide to refinish/paint our wood kitchen/laundry/bath cabinets.

They refinished a child's table and chairs and did a wonderful job. They picked up and delivered the pieces in a timely manner. Next time I need any furniture refinished I know exactly who I will be calling again. Definitely would recommend to anyone needing furniture repairs done.

Palmer's beautifully restored a 50-yr old solid wood sideboard. The piece was in BAD shape but Palmer's fully restored it in FIVE DAYS. There was some intricate woodwork missing on the front & Mr. Palmer fixed that too. Price was very fair for the level of work involved. And their quote includes pickup and delivery. Mr. Palmer is super responsive - just email a description of the requested service w/pictures and he will respond with a quote. I highly recommend Palmer's for your furniture restoration needs.

You will not find anyone as conscientious or as skilled as Palmers Refinishing. They are easy to reach, respond quickly and call right away with any questions. Plus their fees are always reasonable.They refinished our twin beds and antique vanity with large trifold mirror. They have done our mahogany dining table in the past and I was confident they were the people for the job.They did another excellent job and always go the extra mile for us. They gave us screws that were missing on the beds, finished the insides of the drawers and the hardware and the backs of the pieces just as nicely as the fronts. The workmanship as in the past was excellent. Most of all this family takes pride in their work and are some of the nicest people around. Very hard to find people like this these days. We are so happy with the results and would highly recommend.

Time was not an issue for the work being done, so expectation was to have it completed in about two weeks. the work was done in a little over the week. the new finish is awesome, makes the table look new. Very satisfied with the work, the timeliness, the professionalism and the price.

Palmer's Refinishing did an excellent job and is very professional. They came up to Huntersville, NC to pick up my table with chairs on the date and time as promised and delivered on the date and time as promised. The qualify of their work is excellent and the table looks better than new. This is a great family run business that prides themselves on the high quality of the work they do and their word. In addition, they recommended an upholstery company to put the fabric on the chairs and once Palmer's Refinishing finished the chairs, they delivered them to the upholstery company. Since Palmer's has a good connection to the upholstery it will only take a week for the work to be done, which is also being done at a good price. If you want someone that does great work at a good price and helps you with the complete project, then ask for Al Palmer's Refinishing. Can't say enough good things about this company.

I called them and left a message. They called back very quickly. We scheduled a time for them to pick up desk. They arrived on time. They finished desk sooner than expected. They delivered desk to us wrapped and protected. Wow! it looks brand new. I purchased this desk off of Craigslist and it really had been abused. I was amazed that they were able to remove deep gouges, repair desk legs and sides. Looks brand new! Would definitely use again.

I have a white kitchen table from Crate and Barrel, and the paint on the tabletop was chipping pretty badly. I called on a Thursday or a Friday, and Al Palmer called me back promptly, gave me an estimate, and arranged to come to my house the next Monday. Al and his son Scott showed up right on time (actually, a little early! how often does that happen?) and carefully took my table apart, being careful not to damage either the table, the floors, or my doorways. They had it back on Thursday evening, where they carefully reassembled the table, dropped in the leaf to show me it matched, then took the leaf out and put it away for me. I am thrilled. The table looks even better than it did when it was brand new -- no exaggeration. Al and Scott were the definition of professionalism. They take great pride in their work, and they should. I will definitely be using them again.
