Description of Work: Performed refinishing of son's table from heat damage. Eliminated most of the damage and returned a quality finish to table at affordable price and within a reasonable timetable.

Description of Work: They back-burned the job, so don't give them anything that needs to be done by a certain time. But the table turned out nicely.

Description of Work: Must repair damage to rocker spokes and remove black paint & restore oak to original finish. They will also get cost to restore fabric with inner spring seat of rock from local restorer. Additionally they will try to find out something about the rocker from local antique dealers. | |Service cost is without discount voucher. | |Refinishing not yet done but there is no rush. |

Description of Work: Signed up for this deal but - in talking to owner - realized it was a much costlier project than I can take on right now. I will definitely ask Charles to do the work when I can afford it.

Also referred me to upholsterer to replace seat in wooden chair. |Charles was very professional and explained what repairs would be made then gave me an estimated cost.

Description of Work: This company refinished a small pine chest for $190. A few months before they refinished pine end tables. I was very pleased with the result. I would definitely use them again.

Description of Work: Last fall I inherited a pair of barley curl, mission style chairs that had belonged to my paternal grandparents. My grandparents had purchased the chairs from an estate sale over 50 years ago and I have memories of my grandfather sitting in his chair by their large picture window reading the paper while my grandmother watched TV and rocked quietly in her chair. My grandparents passed away many years ago and no one seemed to know what had happened to these mission style chairs. Fast forward nearly 20 years; my cousin is cleaning out a hidden, non-climate controlled storage unit that belonged to her mother, my aunt, and my grandparents daughter. In the very back of this locker are the wooden skeletons of two old, very rickety barley curl, mission style chairs. She sent a picture out on Facebook asking if anyone in the family had the interest and wherewithal to take the chairs, knowing that this was not just a refinishing job....this would need to be a complete refurbishing of the wood, rebuilding, restoring, refinishing and reupholstering......a labor of love from an artisan's hands. I, having no items from my father's parents to remember them by, decided to take them and find someone with the unique skill to restore these precious chairs. I talked to my friends, neighbors, co-workers and looked on-line to find someone who could understand how much the chairs meant to me and would restore them with love. I looked on Angie's List and found CT Refinishing. I called and talked to the owner, Charles Turner, and knew within a few minutes that I had found a true artisan who would probably do what he does for free because of the love he has for wood and his craft. Charles told me that at the age of 16 he swept floors and cleaned up in a Tennessee piano refinishing, restoration shop. He asked a lot of questions and after a while the the owner took him under his wing and he worked alongside a master craftsman, restorer, refurbisher of old pianos. Charles met his wife and moved to Milwaukee to continue working in the piano restoration business but he found no craftsman here. So he started his own business and I was lucky enough to find him. Charles is one of the most genuine people I have ever met; it is clear that he has become a master at the restoration, rebuilding, refurbishing and refinishing of pianos, all types of musical instruments, and furniture. But, what is most heartwarming about him is that he loves what he does...his craft is personal to him....he takes care of each piece he restores as if it was the only thing he had to remember his grandparents by....thank you, Charles, from the bottom of my heart. They are beautiful!!!

Description of Work: Nice refinishing/restoring work. Very satisfied with the results

Description of Work: When I spoke to the company on the phone, I was told the a chair would be repaired ($50.00), the dining room table tightened, and all of the remaining chairs would be tightened (remaining $49.00). I dropped the chair off at their shop. It took close to a month to get the chair fixed. I then had to pay a separate $25.00 fee for them to deliver it. | |I was not home when the drop-off was made, but my mother was waiting for them. The delivery men told my mother there would be a fee (per chair) to have them tightened even though it only took 5 minutes to tighten the table and that was not what we had agreed upon. | |Although the quality of the chair repair was good, it took a long time and I was very unhappy about the change in pricing for the services I had ordered and was expecting.

Description of Work: Charles refinished and repaired a drop leaf table with two leaves, an antique dining table that has been in my family at least 75 years. The table was somewhat out of line and would not stay closed with the leaves in. The leaves were in good condition but the table was badly worn. Charles finished it beautifully so that it matches. The table and the leaves have a wonderful look and feel to the wood. He did some work on truing the table, then installed locks on the leaves so that the table remains closed. We are once again using it and are thrilled with its appearance and the ease of cleaning it.

Description of Work: I have a beautiful, intricately carved oak dining room set that consists of a buffet, server, 6 chairs and very large table that I had inherited from my mother. I had wanted to have it refinished for several years but was nervous about finding someone qualified enough and at a reasonable price. My parents purchased this from a lady in our home town when I was about 5 and I have always loved it so ensuring it was done correctly was of absolute importance to me. Charles did a gorgeous job re-gluing and refinishing this set. I could not be happier with it! I am also a repeat customer; since this job he has now done a quilt rack, and 2 antique sewing machines for me. I still have a couple of things for him to do as well. My recommendation of him and his business is unqualified!

Description of Work: CT Refinishing disassembled and reglued six oak dining room chairs that I've had for about 30 years. They also touched up the finish in spots.
