Jose did a beautiful job refinishing our dining table. He understood exactly what we wanted and transformed it while preserving the quality and character of the piece. The finish is smooth, even, and beautifully done, it looks like a completely new table. He was professional, careful, and easy to work with throughout the process. I’m extremely happy with the result and would highly recommend him.

Jose did an excellent job on a difficult project - darkening the finish on brand new chairs without harming the velvet upholstery- he meticulously protected the seats and the finish looks amazing 🤩 he picked up the chairs and delivered them too which is so convenient - he’s super friendly too

Mr. Jose Hernandez is an expert wood refinishing contractor who specializes in high quality, customized wood work. Jose took my 41 year old birch dresser and the attached wood framed mirror and brought them a new level of beauty. I am very impressed with Jose’s artistry, communication skills, work ethic and knowledge. I highly recommend him. Judy C

5 star! Definitely! Mr. Hernandez quoted me a fair price. He came to look at the piece and didn’t even want to charge me for the visit. He was on time, and very professional. Something that would have taken me 3 months to do, he did in 5 days! The dresser was perfect when he returned it! It had a beautiful finish and the nicks in the wood were carefully sanded out! I would happily recommend him to anyone looking for a professional who takes great care with his work!
