Colleen and Against the Grain refinished a buffet for me. It turned out better than I expected they matched the color with my other furniture perfectly! They finished it earlier than expected only took about a week and they were very reasonable - would definitely use them again!

Colleen did great job refinishing 2 desks. They look beautiful. She was extremely response to my email inquires, timely with pick up and delivery and I thought her prices were very competitive. I'd strongly recommend her to anyone looking to refinish a cherished piece of wood furniture.

Colleen and Rick were professional and friendly. They were both great to work with throughout the whole process. We bought the furniture 23 years ago and have used it almost daily with three kids and a large extended family. The furniture had deep scratches and worn off varnish. Now the furniture is absolutely beautiful and I think it looks better now than when it was brand-new. In addition their prices are very reasonable. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone who needs refinishing work.

I am completely satisfied with the refinishing job on a family heirloom piece of furniture and am happy that I can pass it along to our children in fine shape.

They did a great job with our dining room table. It looked beautiful when they were finished, and they were a pleasure to work with. They are obviously passionate about their work and take pride in what they do. I would definitely refer them to friends and will go to them every time I have furniture refinished.

FAQs

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    After over twenty years the most common type of work we have done is refinishing furniture. Most clients have wanted the furniture stained to match a color they have selected or to match to other furniture in their home. Many times clients will see the furniture with the stain removed and will decide to stain the furniture with a clear stain because of the beauty of the wood. This happens frequently with walnut.

  • Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

    We recently refinished a large vintage walnut office desk. The desk came from a family that we have worked for since the 1990's. The desk was used by the clients grandfather. Walnut is a wood that is my favorite for its beauty and durability.

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    If I gave two pieces of advice to a client looking to hire a furniture refinisher I would start by saying the representative of the company should be cordial and responsive to your questions. In most cases a client has furniture that is important to them and will also be an investment. If an individual contacts our business we owe them the respect they deserve. Secondly, I would ask where I could see examples of their work. A website is the easiest way to view work but also books of photos or actual work completed will display work. Furniture refinishing can only be done correctly when the client and refinisher work together.
