Abacus Furniture Restoration

It went very well. Add my name to Mr. McBride's growing list of satisfied customers.

Mr. McBride, is an experienced talented craftsman. His work is flawless and dependable.

He completed the work on time and on a very reasonable budget...

The process from the initial phone call to pick up was professional and precise. The price was fair and reasonable. Mr. McBride was pleasant and polite. The job was done in less time than estimated. Great experience.

Mr. McBride continues to deliver! Excellent work, very reasonably priced, he is a real find.

The first time I called, he knew exactly what I was needing, so I brought it in and he ordered the pieces. He then had to install the pieces to fit properly, which was perfect ! It was all done in a timely manner. It was a pleasure doing business with Mr. McBride, he is very nice.

Easy drop off at his location. I told him to take his time as I was not in a rush to have them back. He called a few weeks later to say they were ready for pick up. I picked them up.

He asked me to bring the paint since I was specifying the color and was excellent in instructing me on how much paint to purchase, where and what brand. He quoted me a price and charged me exactly what he quoted me although I believe the job of stripping the bed frame and head board was more extensive that he thought originally. I used Abacus in the 1980s when I lived in Houston the first time. He continues to give excellent service and value.

In 30 words or less: Repair went well.

I dropped the piano leg off with Mr. McBride on Wednesday and it was ready on Saturday. It looked like new. Great job and a great price. Mr. McBride was a pleasure to do business with.

The repairs were completed in a reasonable time period. The price was exactly the initial quote, and the workmanship was very good. Mr. McBride explained the work he did and why. He was very professional and a delight to do business with. I would definitely contact him for future repairs.

Mr. McBride was extremely helpful and patient. He repaired the chair in a single day! He also helped me unload and load the chair into the back of my car. I would take any furniture needing repairs to him again. I think he may offer pickup service but I was able to deliver the chair in my SUV.

The table looks wonderful. Mr. McBride did an excellent job and I am very pleased with the results.

Mr. McBride did an excellent job on repairing the nightstand quickly. I took it on a Monday and it was ready Thursday. I really cannot see the repairs at all and its like it never was broken. Besides the amazing work his prices are reasonable, he's very professional and pleasant. I highly recommend him. I definitely will use him again.

Mr. McBride recognized the make of the furniture. When the craftsman was in the Heights, their stores had been adjacent to one another. He repaired the furniture quickly (about 2 weeks). I really cannot see the repairs at all. It is all just like new. He also explained the reason the original maker's work had failed over time and how his repair would be lifetime. Besides the amazing work at an astounding price, he's very professional and pleasant. I highly recommend him and am taking more pieces to him.

Excellent workmanship. Mr. McBride also answered questions about what he did and how I could refinish the chair.

Took it on Saturday around 3:00 p.m. and picked it up on the next day around 5 p.m. We were very satisfied with the quality and the speedy result. The price quoted was the price we paid. Would go there again.

I dropped the chair off at his house/office and he gave me an estimate and time of completion. Both were accurate and reasonable. When I picked up the chair, he showed me what he had done and explained what work the chair might need in the future, but stated that it could be put off for some time. Overall, he was a very nice, courteous person and his work was top-notch. The chair looks and works great now!

I checked with the retail store where I bought the set and the casters are not available any more. Because of the way the rattan chairs were made, casters from Home Depot would not work. Mr. McBride re-worked the bottom of the leg/caster receptacle and replaced the casters with some from Home Depot. He explained to me beforehand what he was going to do and how. If they wear out in the future, I can get replacements at Home Depot myself. He does live a ways from me, but it was worth the trips. I had to take 2 chairs at a time since that is all that would fit in my car. I took 2 when I picked up the first 2, etc. The cost was a little higher than quoted at first, but worth it to keep the chairs. I did not want to have to buy new chairs! He is very good at what he does and I would use him again.

Great. It is a bit of a drive for me, but well worth it. Mr McBride did what he said he would do in the timeframe that he said he would for a reasonable price.

I was very pleased with their service. The only problem was that he wrote down the wrong phone number and so didn't call me for a long time after it was finished. Apart from that it was very good and he was very pleasant. He showed a lot of interest in the piece and it is beautiful. It is a pure mahogany piece which I didn't know, you just wouldn't believe the difference with what he did. I currently have another piece there that they are working on. If you wanted a piece done in a hurry I wouldn't go to him, but if you don't mind how long it takes then he is great.

It went very well. He described the work he would do and did it.

great - the only complaint is the distance to the shop and it's worth the drive - I've got 10 windsor's - love the style but they are difficult and old, I will be taking more his direction soon.

It was a great experience. The owner did a great job and I am pleased with it. I am delighted with his furniture refinishing and he definitely believes in under promising and over delivering. I have a great piece of furniture now. The price was fair for the work done.

Mr McBride did an excellent job on repairing our furniture while maintaining the antique value of each price. He is a true craftsman and a pleasure to work with.
