Jared restored and refinished an antique bureau and desk that were worn and scratched. The pieces look great! I am very happy with the results and the cost was reasonable. He also included pickup and delivery. I recommend Jared if you have furniture needing refinish.

Jared did a wonderful job on 2 projects at my home. He repaired a Hitchcock oak chair that the dog had chewed a rung. Looks brand new! The second project he repaired my Teak Imports recliners. They recline nicely now.

Jared did an amazing job converting our old pub table into a coffee table! He helped bring this antique piece back to life. We won’t hesitate to reach out again with any other furniture repair or antique refinishing as long as we are in the Salem area.

Great work. Just got our 90 year old dinning room table back and it looks great! Beautiful finish and Jarad filled and stabalized several existing cracks, blending them nicely. So happy!

Jared’s repair of a broken chair was so quick and convenient! As an out of town visitor, without access to a vehicle, I appreciated that he was able to not only repair the chair, but he also picked it up and delivered it! Thank you for the A+ service!
