DAVID MEIER

It took a long time but Dave persevered and found hardware that would work, made several mock ups to test how he would install it and made sure it fit and worked right. There were several long delays both on his end and my end in getting the work done, due to travel, illness and moving into a new shop issues. But Dave even came and temporarily attached the doors when I was going to have a house party and wanted the armoire to look decent. Dave was good about communicating the reasons for delays and difficulties which I appreciated. The best thing about Dave is that he wants to do the job right even if it takes longer to do it. He does not skimp and does quality work. So while I would have liked the job take less time than it did, I would rather have it done right rather than fast. The armoire now looks and operates perfectly, and I would use Dave again.

Now in use in Gainesville in mint condition. An A1 repair

I contracted them via the link on their website and never heard anything from anyone.

They do great work, but the project management is appauling. It has been a pain to get ahold of them. Timely responsiveness is not their strong suit.

For approximately five months, Mr. Meir was full of excuses. He claimed he lost my phone number, but when I called he still couldn't provide me with an estimate of the price to fix my doors. He claimed his computer crashed, but he couldn't give me an estimate on when the doors would be finished. He claimed someone was using the lap top, but couldn't tell me how he was going repair my doors. In Apr 11 he finally stated he was moving his location, but still couldn't tell me what work would be done, how much it would cost for the repairs or when it would be accomplished. I was tired of excuses and retrieved my doors. I will NEVER use or attempt to use this person again.

David Meier did a very good job in accommodating us. He was very patient while we thought about exactly what we wanted done. He went above and beyond what was originally scheduled to be done. All of his work was of good quality.

They are going to deliver the cabinet back to the house today, so I?ll know about the quality of their work later today. They took the cabinet away and cleared it in the shop, so there was no any cleanup at the house. Their punctuality is really good. I think they are a little pricey, but it is probably okay. I would use them again in the future or contact them for a bid.

When David explained the process he would use to refinish the table, I was convinced he was an artisan. The table had faux planks, and the grooves had suffered from hard use and were peeling and exposing the wood below. David suggessted that in addition to the refinishing that I cover it with glass. After consideration, I decided to go with the glass. (The glass was $240, but well worth the investment.) The refinish was just wonderful and David restored the table to its original beauty. The glass doesn't hide its beauty and gives me lots of comfort that the table will not have to be refinished again.

Dave is a cheerful, congenial, and professional person. He was great at listening to our concerns and ideas, and at providing helpful counsel and direction on how to fix our misfit table leaf as well as things we can/should do to protect and care for the whole table. He has a lot of experience with carpentry, furniture repair and wood work. I'd trust him to do well with any carpentry or furniture repair project.

David was very thorough and made sure that my needs for more storage, pull out cabinets and drawers and electricity and lighting were met. He did an excellent job!

From the time he arrived to look over the job till the time he returned with the repaired base everything he did was very professional. When he completed the job my wife and I couldn't believe how it looked. It was just outstanding and we were glad we didn't hire just antbody. Would gladly refer him to anybody who needed furniture restoration.

David is very competent and professional. He seemed to get busy after he'd taken on my job, causing the work to extend a month or two longer than he'd estimated. Otherwise, I was very happy and would recommend him highly.

He was an expert at replacing wood and matching it. They were very professional. It was a father and son. They have a passion for what they do and they are very good at it. They are perfectionists when it comes to refinishing furniture.

David is a detail-oriented, master craftsman when it comes to repairing and refinishing furniture. The pieces that he has restored for myself and my parents have been brought back to their original beauty, and, in some cases, resurrected from the dead. His services are not inexpensive (although, I have no basis for comparision) and at least one of the projects that he completed for me took more time than what was initially expected or promised. However, I won't use anyone else because I know that once a project is completed, I will be thoroughly satisfied with the result.

Excellent. I met him at his shop. Gave an estimate of cost and when the work would be done. He met every expect ion Outstanding

I was very happy with the results and would not hesitate to call David for other projects. He did a wonderful job very quickly and I felt he was very trustworthy.

The experience went very well. He called and kept me informed and even finished sooner than promised.

He was prompt, courteous, and extremely knowledgeable. We would have loved to use him but his price was well above our budget even though I'm sure the pieces would have been heirloom quality. If money not an issue, then I'd go with David.

There were many challenges in this remodel. There was an existing cooking grotto that had to be added onto and flooring that had to be used but was no longer available. This company salvaged tile from an old counter top that was the same materials as on the existing floor. This took time and patience. It was a complete success, saving the character of the kitchen and a lot of money. It was not a second choice. The flooring was very important to the look of the kitchen. The success of this project depended on making the existing size become a more usable space and keeping the look of the cooking grotto and making it blend in with the new. This was a complete and even more beautiful and usable space than we imagined it might be. I had many difficult and unusual ideas. This company never said it was just too impossible. They gave everything great respect and came up with ways to make things work. Actually added a lot of creativity added to what I wanted. This project is not only one that gave me so much more usable counter space and cabinet storage, but it made the outcome just beautiful and a joy to work in and look at.

THE EXPERIENCE THIS COMPANY BROUGHT TO THE PROJECT WAS MOST CERTAINLY WHAT MADE THIS SO MUCH OF A SUCCESS. THEIR ABILITY TO WORK WITH COMERCIAL WINDOW AND AC PEOPLE WAS NOTHING BUT SUPERIOR. THEY MADE THE JOB WORK SMOTHLY AND THE FINISH A GOOD EXPERIENCE. TAKING NOT ONLY THE OLD SALVAGED MATERIALS, BUT THE NEW AND VERY COMMERCIAL WIINDOW WALLS AND REMODELING AS IF THEY ALL WERE DONE YEARS AGO WAS A REFRESHING EXPERIENCE. THEY USED THEIR EXPERIENCE AND GREAT CRAFTMANSHIP TO MAKING NEW MATERIALS NEEDED LOOK EXISTING AND AGED AS WERE THE SALVAGED PIECES USED. IT IS RARE TO FIND A COMPANY THAT LISTENS TO YOUR IDEAS AND IS NOT ONLY WILLING TO MAKE THEM WORK , BUT THEY WERE ABLE WHEN NEEDED TO ENHANCE THE IDEAS.

I WANTED ALDAR WOOD CABINETS THAT HAD AN AGED LOOK AND WERE VERY PLAIN BUT SKILLFULLY UNIQUE. THE CRAFTMANSHIP AND FINISH WORK WAS BEAUTIFUL AND THE CABINETS LOOK AS IF THEY WERE ALWAYS A PART OF THIS KITCHEN. DAVID HAS THE ABILITY MOST PEOPLE LACK IN BUILDING FOR INDIVIDUALS MAKING CABINETS WITH THE PERSONALITY AND NEEDS OF THE HOME OWNER. THE CABINETS ARE NOT ONLY EXACTIALLY WHAT I WANTED, BUT ARE A COMPLIAMENT TO MY HOME. I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH DAVID MEIER FOR AROUND 20 YEARS. HE HAS SKILLFULLY REPAIRED AND ENHANCED MANY ANTIQUES FOR ME. HIS WORK IS SUPERIOR AND CREATIVE. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME HE HAS BUILD CABINETS FOR ME. I AM VERY PLEASED , AS I ALWAYS AM WITH HIS WORK.

Everything went wonderfully and I now enjoy the storage and beautiful finish he provided.

It's been about at least a month since I've heard from him and before that he kept putting me off. He finally came out with the doors and installed them. It's been at least a month since he put the doors on.

There was a bit of confusion on when we thought the project would be completed. My husband and I were left with different impressions as to when we would have the chairs back -- they were actually done later than either of us had thought, but earlier than Mr. Meiers had anticipated. Since there was not a great hurry for them, this was OK. If anyone has a deadline, this should be communicated for sure. After they called to say the chairs were ready, he and his son were here when they said they would be. Picking the chairs up for the work was also done in a timely fashion. My husband and I are extremely satisfied with the work of David Meiers and without hesitation would recommend him to others. He seems to like his job and take pride in his work.

I'd highly recommend David to my friends and family, or anyone. He is extremely knowledgable, detail-oriented, professional, and friendly. His rates are reasonable, and he does return phone calls, although maybe not the same day. His knowledge and skills are top-notch and you can see he really likes what he does. He is outstanding in his field and it shows. I would call him again without hesitation.
