S G WOODWORKS

Response to calls was very quick. Got the job done in promised time. Good work on the refinish.

Sarah is talented and passionate towards old furniture and interesting woodwork in general! I spoke to her assistant over the phone prior to dropping the piece off at her workshop. On the phone, they actually wanted to have a conversation about why I needed them as opposed to the standard "what do you want?" kind of greeting I received elsewhere. (Note: she offered to do a pick up and delivery of my piece, but I'm down that way sometimes, so I told her I'd save her the trip.) I dropped it off right before the holidays and she was up front in telling me it would be a couple months before she got to it. I was in no big rush, so that was fine. I picked it up this past weekend after a call on Friday from Sarah saying the repair was complete. It looks amazing! Not only did she fix it to the point where we can't tell it was ever broken, she told us a little about it too! She's very personable and her assistant is too! She is patient with those who have less knowledge about wood and furniture. We ended up talking for a while about projects and furniture. Now I've made an appointment for her to consult on some woodwork restoration in my home. I would HIGHLY recommend her to ANYONE. She will care about providing quality work at a fair price.

Excellent experience. Provided professional service with a great attitude and got the problem taken care of.

Sarah was great! Came by, inspected the bed, found some previous repairs that had not been done well. Took apart the bed and transported it to her shop. Repaired broken pieces and replaced interior wood pieces and hardware to make the bed like new again. Came back and reassembled the bed (not easy, since it was Scandinavian design from 30 years ago!). All in all, a great job!

Sarah was great to work with from start to finish. She responded pretty quickly when I first called her. She told me honestly that she had not done exactly this type of job before but then did some research to see what kinds of products and techniques would work well in the setting (the door gets direct, unfiltered, late-day sun). She arrived to start work when she said she would, was very flexible about scheduling and even worked around the mason installing steps right next to her. The job required several applications before it was final and the results are striking. We get many compliments on the door and couldn't be happier with her work.

The provider cleaned up 8 pieces of bedroom and living room furniture that had been stored for several months in a non-air conditioned environment. Fibers from blankets placed on the furniture had become embedded in the lacquer which had to be removed. Nicks and scrapes were touched up to hide them. Sarah did a very good job for me. This furniture was over 50 years old, and now it looks practically new. She was very easy to work with and flexible with my schedule. She came to the mini storage facility where I kept the furniture so I didn't have to take it to her shop. I would recommend her and would use her again.

Did a great job would use again

She will pick up and deliver (for $45/hour). We have a pickup truck, so we brought our items to her. She developed estimates and sent them to us timely. We told her to go ahead with the slipper chair/stool. She is an artisan who recognizes why oldsters like us (late 70s) value these things. We understand that "restored" antiques have no market value. Took two months. The chair's frame had been damaged. and she restored it with dowels, plastic wood, and love. These pieces' upholstery was (were?) perfect, but the trim (hey, I'm not an antique fancier) was shot and needed replacement. So she found new trim and placed it and, after many phone calls from us, told us it was ready for pickup.. It's back in our parlor and we love it.

Sarah was a joy to work with. She was able to offer suggestions as to what should be done to best help a piece, was willing to say if a piece wasn't worth fixing (though would have done the fixes if we had still wanted them done), and even after she received payment in full continued to adjust the refinished area on one piece until we were satisfied with the end result. We really liked that during the process she was willing to send pictures of any issues, as it really helped us to see her concerns before (mostly? always?) agreeing with her suggestions. When picking the furniture up from the house and during return delivery her labor crew was always polite, and careful with the furniture being moved to lift it properly and to not bump other furniture or walls. The process did take a bit longer than promised; in our case it was obvious that the longer time meant that the finished product was not being rushed but done correctly and well. Overall, we are very pleased with the final products and look forward to using them for many more years to come.

I could not be more pleased with the outcome. The finish matches up\ perfectly. The job was done on time and within my budget. What more can you ask for?

Chose provider via Angie's List. Delivered broken chair to her shop. She structurally repaired chair and color matched the joint so as not to be visible. Great job! Enjoyed the interaction because she was straightforward, skillful and personable with a good sense of humor.

Came and picked up the desk since I could not deliver it to her shop. Estimate was accurate from the start. Took a little longer than estimated due to workload at her shop but that was not a problem. She kept me informed.

Sarah provided an upfront estimate of the work and a delivery time window after looking at the items. She did an excellent job - chairs are not only usable but look as if nothing had happened to them. She delivered them when she promised. Pleasure to work with her - certainly recommend her to others.

Sarah was always prompt, courteous, and very professional. She takes great pride in her work and we are happy to recommend her to our friends.

Contacted S G Woodworks in January and my dining room table was delivered around the 1st of February based on her schedule. Our estimated return date based on refinishing and regluing of a segment was to be prior to Monthers Day for a luncheon I had scheduled. The project was not complete however, SG Woodworks offered a substitute. The project was finished in April and delivered free of charge. The work performed was well done.

Sarah runs a solo business, quoted a fair price for her work, did the work well, and was easy to get along with. Dealing with her was a pleasant experience. Highly reccomend.

Attention to detail is excellent and quality of work could not be better. ~Skip

I called Sarah about the chair first and made an appointment to drop it off at her workshop. She determined that she could drill out the center of the support and insert a dowel between that and the chair leg. She estimated about an hour and a half for labor. The process was slow due to the need for exacting work and gluing which needed several days to cure. I showed Sarah a picture of the table damage and she dropped over to my house to examine it and hopefully repair it. The color was difficult to match though so she removed the drop-leaf and brought it back to the workshop to get the color right. Again, an hour and a half was estimated for the work. Both items were delivered to me today and I am very pleased with the work! The chair and table both look brand new. Even though it took several weeks for the work to be completed the total time I was charged was one hour for each item. I couldn't be happier and I would highly recommend Sarah to anyone who needs woodworking repair.

Transaction was smooth from start to finish...great communication...

Sarah Grinter from S G Woodworks came over to look at the job. She was going to come back and give an estimate but we haven’t heard from her since. She must have had so much work that she couldn't do it. She didn’t do anything; I never got an estimate. She had mentioned while she was here, that she was going to do something in January but I was sitting and wondering and she didn’t do anything. I kept wondering why she didn’t get back to us. She didn’t give me an estimate. She never asked me for another appointment afterwards. She just lost my business. I was not very pleased. She was very pleasant when she came over. She did what I had immediately asked her to do. I would not recommend her right now; she seems to be too busy. She scheduled a specific appointment with us for her initial visit. She was here on time. She was personable to talk with. She was knowledgeable. I had no doubt that she could do the job. She knew a lot about furniture. She told me about things that could be done and things that couldn't be done. She didn’t try to sell me everything that I didn’t need. That was very important. She was more than willing to look at all the furniture that I needed to have refinished. However, she just didn’t follow through. I would have liked to see her work. She responded to my request initially. She made an appointment, she showed up on time, she looked at everything but left it half way. She never called back. I would have wanted to use her if she would have called me back to tell me she couldn't do it. That means a whole lot to people like me. I was sitting here waiting and she never called. She never bothered to say that something has come up or that she has hurt herself, or that she won’t be able to get to it until spring, or if can something be arranged then. That would have been professional but I just didn’t hear anything.

We are extremely pleased with the quality of work and would highly recommend them for any wood-related projects. We were especially impressed with Sarah's expertise in matching the stain(s) and her efficiency in insuring that our project was completed in a timely fashion.

Everthing went well. We had to delay delivery a couple of times due to the weather. Sarah wanted to make sure nothing happened to diminish the final look of the piece.

She was very personable. She stayed in contact with me because she was a little bit late. She did give me a courtesy call and I liked that. She was very thorough in explaining the process to me. She wasn?t sure whether one specific piece that was being refinished was 100% wood including the sides. She even took the piece with her to match it to make sure. I didn?t feel rushed. I could ask questions and she was more than happy to answer them, but I thought that her cost was extremely high.

We looked them up on Angie?s list and they had good ratings and we decided to go with them. We were very pleased with their work.

She did a good job and the drawer is working fine. We were pleased with her work. The price was fair and reasonable.
