After 12 weeks I stopped by the shop to check on progress. There was none. The owner was there and she chewed me out for a full 10 minutes for having the temerity to bring my refinishing project to her refinishing shop. She went on and on about how she doesn't like to refinish painted pieces and basically made me feel like total s*** for having brought such a project in. I didn't have the means to take the chest with me, so I just left. Exactly one year after dropping it off I finally picked it up. Their storage area was stuffed with similar pieces. So they accept work they have no intention of doing, then punish their customers for bringing them this business. What a waste of time. Too bad, because it looks like the work they actually perform is really good.
Description of Work: I brought in a cedar chest that had been painted over the stain. I couldn't get all the paint and stain off myself so wanted them to complete the refinishing. The craftsman accepted the piece, explained how they would do it, showed before and after photos of similar work, and estimated 10 weeks to complete the job.

Description of Work: I took in 3 antique chairs in to have repaired (some glue, and refinished with leather). The chairs look really nice and they did make an effort to help me save money. I would not use them again for lack of responsiveness and professionalism. I think they could use some help with the paperwork and customer service. Quality of the work is satisfactory.

Description of Work: Repaired three and refinished four wicker dining chairs. The quality of their repair and refinishing work was excellent. Although somewhat expensive, they did complete the job for the estimated price. Although the work is very good, this is not the place to go if you have any time constraints. Technically, they did not take longer than estimated - because they would not give any scheduling estimate. While they always would provide fairly rational reasons for what was taking so long, even rational excuses wear thin after several months of insignificant progress.

Description of Work: We are so excited to soon be grandparents ! The family craddle had been damaged and needed repairs. After reviewing Angie's List decided to go to Ace to have the craddle repaired. Walked in without calling and had no problem leaving the craddle for repair. I expected a long wait time for the repair, but only a week later the cradle was ready . Beautiful outcome. Awesome workmanship , will for sure use again !

The work was excellent. The chair was a fairly straightforward job, although they put in some extra reinforcement. The table was a revelation. We inherited a piece that had been neglected and abused. We got back a show piece--utterly returned to its prime. The work was done in a timely fashion, they kept in touch, and the price was reasonable. The place isn't much to look at--putting the matter kindly--but they are nice folks to deal with and do fine work.

With the first chair, I couldn't tell it had ever been broken when I picked it up. It was stronger than before and it just looks great. With the deep cleaning on the other chair I was extremely impressed.

It went well. Took the chair by the shop and left for estimate. About 1 week later we received with an estimated range of $550 to $600. We authorized the work and 4 weeks later I called to check on the progress of refurbishing and was told the chair was completed.Picked up chair that afternoon and cost was plus taxes was $648.

Spoke with owner Ms. Jessie on the phone with reference to dining room antique chairs that needed some re-gluing, upholstered bottoms that needed to be fitted inside the bottom a bit better and an antique breakfront that needed the doors adjusted and new beveled glass installed in one of the doors. Ms. Jessie told me they only come to my house to pick up chairs, etc. if the estimate for repairs is over $2,000.00. I do not have a pickup, only a car which none of the above will fit in, am a senior and can't lift items, don't know how to take the doors off the breakfront to deliver them or how to install them back once they are repaired. Bottom line: could not use them because Ms. Jessie said they are located out toward Hwy 35 and she would have to take a man/men off their present duties to come to my house in North Central S.A. and it was too big a risk because she would not have a guarantee that they would get the work. So she does not do in house estimates. However, her main finisher would give you a ball park figure on the phone, and adjust that figure once they see the work. But they only do pick-up service on repairs of $2,000 or more. They were very nice on the phone and I wish I could have used them. I'm giving them a C because it is a neutral figure because I did not use them. I can't use them in the future because I need in house estimates of work to be done (I hate surprises at the end!) and furniture picked up and delivered, even tho there may be an additional charge for that. They do not offer that service for repairs under $2,000.00.
Description of Work: I'm giving them a C because it is a center figure because I did not use them. See more explanation below.

Description of Work: Checked with three other furniture refinishers in my area and ACE turned out to be the least expensive and had the quickest turnaround. They came and picked up my great-grandmother's English mahogany dining table and matching buffet. What had been buried under "80 years of Pledge" turned out to be beautiful warm, golden brown wood. Stunning. Pete, at ACE did a superb job of removing the old lacquer and then putting on a coat of neutral satin. He replaced some missing wood "buttons" on the legs and added an under-the-table felt backing to protect the trundle leaves, which slide under the table. Very pleased with the results. Did both pieces in about 8 days. Efficient, professional and skillful. Recommend!

Ace Furniture Refinishers rescued a table that had been badly restored by another Angie's List refinisher. They did an outstanding job of returning the painted table to it's original condition! They were knowledgeable, professional and prompt. I am grateful to have found them and will definitely use them in the future. Thanks, Ace Refinishers!

I brought in an antique, Victorian era chair that was missing it's springs, needed to be re-glued and re-upholstered. I was given an estimate for all repairs and the cost of the fabric. When the fabric came in Ms. Jessie called me to let me know it did not look like the sample piece. She re-ordered the material in hopes the first amount was from a bad dye lot. When that order came in and also did not match the sample she called me again and helped me pick out another fabric. When it came in she called me to let me know it matched the sample and asked if I wanted to see it before using it on the chair. When I picked up the finished chair I was thrilled with all of the work that had been done. The work was well done at a reasonable price and the service was top rate. I definitely plan on using Ace Furniture Refinishers again.
