It looks very nice now. A few weeks before, I had him refinish a very old secretary desk and he did a wonderful job so I had him come back to do the bookcase.

The Wood Doctor repaired the legs on our formal dining room table. The table was a formal dining table for 8 settings and was approximately 20 years old. The three pedestal legs had developed cracks and needed repair. The provider came to the house and disassembled the table taking care not to scratch or damage the finish. He took both pedestals to his shop and repaired them. He returned them when promised and installed them. He did this on time in spite of suffering from a cold and being unable to work during some of the time period between picking up the pedestals and returning them. He was very professional and courteous and I already plan to utilize him to do additional work in the near future.

Using The Wood Doctor was a good experience. Had furniture that was marred during a move. Sam came in and touched it all up and made it all look like new. Would use him again. Highly recommended.

Lousy. I sent two emails and called at least twice requesting this provider get in contact with me to do some furniture repairs I needed after movers broke several items. The provider did not respond to my emails, answer their phone nor return my calls after leaving a detailed voice message.

I purchased a $200.00 value of work by the Wood Doctor for $99.00. I purchased this on the 10th of November I gave the company both my home and cell phone number. On November 12th I received a note from the Wood Doctor giving me their phone number and telling me I should call them. I called the company on November 12th & 15th. The Wood Doctor finally returned my call and came to my home and I showed him the things I wanted fixed on November 23rd. I gave the company plenty of time to get back to me and then sent another note to the company on December 3rd outlining all the work that he agreed he would do. I was promised that the work would have been started shortly after Thanksgiving. I got a note telling me to call them and try and schedule something. Given that initially I had to make a couple of calls before I got a call back and I am not used to the person who has purchased the service and is paying the money for the service is usually the person that has to keep calling and calling and writing notes to get a vendor begging them to do work they agreed to do. Based on the fact that I cannot even get the work scheduled after spending time going overall all the work with this person in my house, sending a couple of notes and making several calls; I don't feel that I should hire this company. If I can't get a company to do what they commit to do and all they do is send me their phone number, that does not give me in much comfort in a good product being delivered. That is why I feel that cutting my loses is the best answer.

I responded to his first e-mail where he asked for availability for an appointment. I gave him three: December 4, 17,18. We have been unable to communicate as he does not return calls, just says I'll call you "later". I'd rather NOT deal with this person at all. I request a refund.

The Wood Doctor (Sam) gave a courtesy call before coming over. He was prompt and on time. He began to work right away. The repair was completed within a few hours. **** This man is a true magician. **** The repair is so good I can hardly remember where the damage was. No one will ever be able to see where he repaired it. I will most certainly use him again. He was a pleasure to have in my home, is very professional and skilled at his trade. Thanks (Sam) Wood Doctor and Angie!!

Working with the Wood Doctor was a GREAT experience. He took five pieces of furniture and transformed them into beautiful pieces of art. Sam's experience and recommendations were spot on. I cannot be more pleased with the results of his craftsmanship. This guy knows how to bring out the beauty of wood. Sam will be the only person I turn to for future refinish projects. He is that good.

Responded in a timely manner to my first call. Arranged a date and time to come to my house. Samuel and his wife Loretta were "on-time" and professional. I was given a written estimate and a completion date. I was pleasantly surprised when the work was completed several days ahead of schedule. I am pleased with the restoration. I would recommend Samuel, The Wood Doctor.

I emailed/called provider same day of my original purchase from Angie's List (July 1). Provider never responded. Angie's List called me regarding this provider which I informed them that provider was unresponsive and that I wanted a refunded. I was informed that Angies List would reach out to provider to see if they could resolve the issue. Provider made arrangements to meet with me only after having been contacted from Angies List. Provider never showed nor called to cancel/reschedule. No longer interested in services from provider. Requesting refund from Angies List and recommend provider be removed from Angies List

He was absolutely first class. They did a wonderful job. Normally when you have fences put up they put the post up and they bring panels out, but they put every lap in the fence in individually and screwed everyone in individually. It was an outstanding job. There were no panels put up. He put every piece of the fence up piece by piece. There were no prepaid panels installed on this fence. I did have one small problem with one of the gates, but when I told him he came and took care of it. I thought they were exceptional.

Sam called back promptly came exactly on time to give us an estimate. The work was terrific because he totally refinished and repaired the top of the hutch only. He made sure everything matched. Took him a couple of weeks and did a great job. Terrific communications-called day before to confirm appts and called during the day with updates. Put the Wood Doctor on the top of your list for any furniture repair and refinishing

Samuel and Loretta made an appointment to come out for an estimate. They were prompt and very courteous. Very kind people. The extensive work to be done on the table required him to take it to his shop. I know that 800.00 sounds like a lot, but we would have had to buy a whole new set if he hadn't been able to do this and when we looked at furniture in the stores, none of it comes with a durable finish for use as a kitchen set. He also looked at the other pieces that needed work and told me that the $99 Angies List service coupon I had bought should cover that amount of work. (Just to give you an idea, he repaired damage to 6 dining room chairs, 5 chairs that matched the table he repaired, 1 decorator chair arm, 2 night stands, my husbands desk and my china cabinet and dining table) Some of the damage had been done over our last 3 moves and a couple of pieces had scratches from our cat. After approx 2 weeks he called to deliver the table and leaf and do the touch-up work. Again, they were on time and so courteous. It is so nice to know that with the amount of wood we have in our home that I now have a very reliable and talented man to call when I need his services again. Which is bound to happen. Thank you Samuel and Loretta!!!! Thanks Angie!!!
Description of Work: Samuel was able to save a kitchen dining table that had very bad damage to the finish down to the wood. I didn't think it would even be possible to save due to the harlequin pattern of the finish. Not only did he refinish it but he also gave it a durable finish that made it a piece that can be used everyday and hold up. Better than the original finish.

Mr. White arrived a little later than we expected. However, we understood he lived a fair distance from where we did. In any case, he and his partner did a fantastic job refinishing our front door and making it look like new again. We will definitely call him again in the future when the door begins to show the effects of the Texas heat and sun. Thank you Mr. White!

It was an Angie's List Big Deal that I purchased. I paid an additional $375. The work looks good. The price could have been a little more negotiable. The first time he didn't show up and we rescheduled. He had to reschedule a second time but then we got everything together.

It was a pleasure to work with Sam! He was pleasant, professional and quick as lightning! I called him in the morning and he was here in the afternoon. He took the bedrails with him and told me he would return the next day, having completed the work. In reality, he called me later that day and told me he had completed the work and could drop by that evening to put the bed together. I was extremely pleased to have the work done so quickly and professionally. The repair work is well-done and the bed is now extremely sturdy. If any of our wood furniture ever breaks, you can bet I'm calling Sam!

The owner, Samuel White, returned my original call promptly and we set an appointment to come to my house and do some onsite repair work to my sectional recliner. He called on the day the service was scheduled to let me know his progress, and arrived when he said he would. He introduced himself and was obviously very friendly from the beginning. He fixed the problem and even spent the remaining time we had bargained for working on another piece of furniture once he finished early on the original problem. Excellent provider, excellent service; I would not hesitate to recommend his work to everyone unconditionally. And on top of all that, Sam is a nice person to boot. A very positive experience overall. Based on that experience, I will use him the next time I have a furniture repair that needs to be done at my home.
