Retrospect Fine Furniture
“He has an enormous amount of integrity, and is a solid business person. The quality of his craftsmanship is always consistent, and his turn-around time is excellent. They’ve done work for me on vintage, as well as some contemporary items— about 3 pieces in all.”

Customer Feedback:
Sven’s Cabinet & Furniture Refinishing
“They re-did some cabinets, doors, and tables for us, and they were fantastic. They were reasonably priced, everything turned out perfect, and we are very pleased. We’ve already recommended them to our neighbors, and brought people in to check out our new cabinets!”

Customer Feedback:
Crystal Springs Painting Company
“Oh, they were marvelous! I had them come out to do some extensive repair on water damage. They put the perfect finishing touch on the repair job— painting the walls and part of the stairwell. They arrived on time and cleaned up like I’ve never seen! I’ve never had anybody do a better job— everything was so professional. I’ve had several home improvement jobs done over the years, and nobody’s matched their quality!”
