I truly appreciated the front door hardware being turned around within the day so that my front door didn’t have to be unlocked all night. I have used them for 18 years and think they are professional and give good quality work. Front door hardware takes the brunt of the weather but their lacker helps keep in nice for a couple of years.

Superb craftsmanship. Rescued a piece that had great sentimental value. Professional, courteous, pleasant, very reasonably priced. Great example quality and ease of interaction when businesses are locally owned.

Colonial Brass does a fabulous job! I continue to use them and recommend them highly. I never have to polish my silver and copper once Colonial Brass treats them!

Couldn't be happier with the service and repair. We found all relevant info on their website to start a conversation with Ed. Shipped the honey pot and received a prompt call back explaining what they could fix and how, even pointing out an pre-existing botched repair that they could also fix. We were given a quote and estimated timeframe. The repaired and re-silvered honey pot are gorgeous and we couldn't be more pleased.

My items were returned and unprofessional emails were sent to me regarding my packing of the items. Instead of trying to work out any issues, my items were returned back to me and my order cancelled costing me shipping of $13 and lost time on the project. I have worked with other restoration professionals and amateur artisans and never had an experience like this before. I do not recommend this unprofessional company who treat customers rudely. I would have chalked this up to someone just having a bad day, but when he went out of his way to cost me time and money, well, I must then write about this so that other people understand what kind of company this is.

We make a simple request when you mail something to us. Name, Address, Phone number in the package.and a list of what is in the package. He did none of that and then said that we never requested that information and of course it was in a email and still after " 31 emails " he still could not provide his basic information. Of course I sent his items back what would you do ?

I'm a 6th generation Houstonian, blessed to live in an original River Oaks home. I could not recommend Colonial Brass more highly! They came to the house, quoted fair and accurate prices, took all the items, including the original brass front door knob (leaving a wonderful and quot;temporaryand quot; knob in its place) and returned them in sparkling condition immediately!!!! In particular, they hand polished a pair of rare antique brass temple urns with raised relief dragons for handles. I never knew how wonderful this old house could look with the door knobs restored to their original luster! The front door knocker is a huge lion's head with the striker being a very thick ring of solid brass. Neighbors and strangers routinely compliment this piece of art work now. Before, no one ever mentioned it at all. We credit the talent of the staff of Colonial Brass. They are OUTSTANDING IN THEIR FIELD and we would never consider using anyone else!
Description of Work: Polished a HUGE brass Lion Head door knocker, door knobs original to the house, a pair of heavy and incredibly ornate temple urns with dragon handles, and a 6 piece silver tea service (including repair of finial on tea pot).

Would not use them again, I had to go to the shop and find my silver tray, they had misplaced it! The tray was not done well it has runs on it and isn't the job I thought I pad for. $150.00 for the tea pot and tray, very high for the poor job that was done.
Description of Work: I left a silver tea pot and a large silver tray to be cleaned and varnished. I called two weeks later to check on them and was told they didn't know where the tray was but the pot was ready, that I needed to come down and look for the tray! Well I found it and the job was very poor and $150.00 later my tray looked about like it did when I left it!

Colonial Brass restored a fifty year old gas coach lamp original to a purchased home that had been painted over by previous homeowners. They did a fantastic job restoring the lamp to it's original glory - absolutely better than expected and for a very reasonable price. We would definitely use them again.

They were fabulous. The price was right. We dropped it off in the morning and picked it up in the early afternoon.
Description of Work: They refurbished our brass door handle, knobs and lock. They put on a protective coating. Everything looks looks brand new. They only took one day and saved us probably $200.

It's a very small company. They are very personable and do a good job. They did have a brass cross that they had on sale for $140; he knocked off $40 and let me put it on layaway; so that was good.
Description of Work: I had some brass ornamental things and I took them to Colonial Brass. The initial job was two ornamental brass horses and the fittings for a carriage clock. It was a clock mounted on a brass carriage that was pulled by two brass horses.

Great from start to finish. They hurried the work for me to accommodate my shcedule.
Description of Work: Colonia Brass cleaned and coated beautiful brass bathroom fixtures for me in a timely fashion. They did absolutely beautiful work and finished the work in time for me to be ready for a house full of company. I plan to use them again for more work. The brass looks better than new and the price was fantastic.
