Description of Work: I called Kirk to redo a sink in our kitchen that is underneath a granite countertop. I asked for a change in color to black and he did warn me that with time sink coatings do wear and that they did not guarantee them. That being said when the sink was complete there was a lot of bubbling in the coating and the coating started to chip within the first day of use. I do not consider chipping (especially on the first day) as wear. He came back to touch up the coating so you can't see the chips as much but it is still a very poor coating job. All in all this is not an acceptable method to refinish sinks and should not be advertised as such. He was nice and responsive but not recommended for sink restoration.

Response from ADVANCED REFINISHING
The customer booked an appointment to refinish a kitchen sink from white to black. I explained to the customer that I don’t generally recommend refinishing kitchen sinks, because they often endure so much abusive treatment, as compared to bathtubs, or even bathroom sinks. I also pointed out that if the customer did chip the finish from abusive treatment, that the white finish underneath would show through the black surface, and be aesthetically displeasing. But, I rarely refuse a customer request, if the customer really wants a job done, and confirms they understand the pro’s and con’s of refinishing versus replacing in each scenario. Some customers do have their kitchen sinks refinished and are very happy with the outcome. So, I feel I can’t refuse those customers service just because the solution isn’t a good idea for everyone. Since this customer’s sink was relatively modern and in good shape, I first removed staining with industrial cleaner and polished it. It looked nice in that condition, so I showed it to the customer and offered to just stop there for a significantly reduced price. I again reiterated the risks of refinishing a kitchen sink, and refinishing from white to black. The customer acknowledged she understood, and chose to have me proceed with a full refinish. When the refinish was completed, the customer inspected the work, affirmed she was happy with it, and paid me for the job. Several weeks after the job was completed, the customer contacted me expressing dissatisfaction with the surface. I went back to investigate, and confirmed that the finish was good: no coverage or adhesion problems, or bubbling. But the customer had already damaged and chipped the bottom surface from aggressive scrubbing of pots and pans; so indeed, what I had warned her about had come true. I repaired the chips caused by the customer free of charge, and the customer’s husband thanked me for coming out and seemed happy with the resolution. Later, the customer contacted me again, saying she was still unhappy with the refinish. I gave the customer a full refund, even though I maintain that the dissatisfaction with the refinishing job was due to the customer’s use and abuse of the sink, not the quality of the refinishing work.

Description of Work: Refinished two bathtubs. Was careful to protect other items in the house (eg: removing shoes so as to not dirty the carpet). Work was done on time and fully cleaned up afterwards.

Description of Work: We have a dark brown tub/shower from the 70's. We are on a well system with a lot of minerals so over time the tub accumulated a lot of deposits and the usual number of dings with raising a family. To avoid having to do a complete remodel we decided to refresh what we had and the end result was exceptional and spectacular. Advanced Refinishing arrived in a meticulous vehicle, did a very involved set-up (which included venting, masking and cleaning) and then applied multiple layers of enamel which was specially mixed because the current colors no longer were what we needed.

Easy and friendly process.
Description of Work: I can't recall the exact price I paid, but I felt it was a great deal and a terrific job. There are a lot of people/companies who perform this type of work, a handful who do a great job, and even fewer who are perfectionists. I bought an older home and didn't have time, or the money, to gut the bathrooms. One bathroom had a pink tub, pink tile shower surround and pink tile vanity counter. The other bathroom had a small mustard yellow/green shower. Advanced Refinishing made everything look brand new at a fraction of the cost to replace them. There might be some companies who might be slightly cheaper, but if you want a job done right, go with Advanced Refinising.

Description of Work: Had Kirk come out to refinish a 100 year old tub. When he arrived he cleaned the tub with a cleaner and suggested that since it was in such beautiful shape we not refinish it. Looked great after his clean up job and I was so happy he was honest with me and truthful.

The experience worked out very well. He was prompt. He finished the work fairly fast. He was clean. The problem was old but they followed up. He was very responsive. He came back and took care of it. He was very good.

Kirk was very accomodating. There was a drip mark and a sharp grain in the finish which he agreed to come back and repair as soon as we had a plumber put in a new fixture. Then, Kirk was able to do the touch up from the first job and clean up after the plumber. He was friendly and professional throughout. He ordered our reproduction fixture for us as well.

There were no problems. He arrived on-time and did the work in less than a day.
Description of Work: After getting an estimate from another company to replace our shower for about $5500, Advanced Refinishing did an excellent job for about one-tenth the price, about $525. This a great (and cost effective) way to go. I highly recommend this company! There are those who are cheaper, but if you want a quality job, have Advanced Refinishing do it for a little more.

Kirk arrived exactly when he said he would. He looked over the shower. There were a few problems of which he easily fixed. He re-glazed the tiles and shower pan. The job took about 6.5 hours. The paint had a bad odor, but he used an exhaust fan to get most of it out. He was very careful and took great care to ensure my fixtures did not get any paint on them. I am very happy with his work and would definitely hire him again!

Kirk arrived within five minutes of when he said he would be at my house. This impressed me greatly since he was driving from Everett to West Seattle during rush hour. He was very professional and explained exactly what he was going to do and answered all of my last minute questions. He did the work. Everything looks GREAT and the price was exactly what he had quoted me. This was a truly GREAT experience!
Description of Work: Kirk refinished a bath tub in our master bath. The tub was in great shape other than the color was right out of the 70's. I decided to have him add a non-slip finish to the bottom of the tub. He masked everything off to protect the surroundings. About three hours later, I had a beautiful shiny white bath tub that goes perfectly with the other new fixtures.

Kirk was very professional and produced excellent results. He returned our initial requests for information quickly and indicated he could perform the work within 1 week. Upon arriving he was very careful in taping off the rest of the bathroom. The price he quoted was less that what other companies quoted us and because he is the owner/technican. He was an easy choice over the companies which use subcontractors or employees.

The tub I rescued from my barn, after it had been used for years as a stock tank! But, I REALLY wanted THAT tub to go in my house, because it was the original homestead's tub. The tub was in horrid shape, it looked hopeless. I wasn't even sure it was salvageable. But Kirk did a miraculous job on it. It looks brand new and is very beautiful. I delivered the tub to his shop, he delivered it back to me, and I took a little over a week (I was expecting it to take months!). I am so pleased with the result, it was well worth doing. Kirk is very prompt, he came out to see the tub to help me decide if it was fixable, he returns calls quickly, is honest, & he knows his stuff. I'd bet on this guy. He is an owner-operator, so is motivated to do right by the customer, and is a perfectionist.

They were able to come in in 1 day's notice, was prompt, got it done quickly and did a nice job for the same price I was quoted. The chemicals used to refinish the tub I am told are not toxic however, the smell is very bad and I had to air out my bath room for a week.
