Beware of the "Jack of All Trades"
Has this ever happened to you? You see an ad for a handy man who claims to specialize in furniture refinishing, house painting, carpentry, plumbing, electrical, concrete work and by the time you put your precious heirloom furniture in their capable hands, (or so they claim) you begin to wonder if they REALLY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING?
Everyday we hear horror stories about people who claimed to be experienced in furniture refinishing and repair who work out of a home garage or their truck with removable magnets claiming to be the expert in everything under the sun, only to discover that this "Jack of All Trades" isn't an expert in anything except taking your money and ruining your furniture! By the time you get your valuable antique back, it has been improperly repaired using super glue, a nail gun or staples. Often times an inexperienced "Jack of All Trades" will take a sander and heavy grit sandpaper to your antique- a process that should never be utilized.
We often get calls from frustrated clients who want to make sure that we are experienced in restoring their antiques and furniture to it's original state. Often times a client will tell us their furniture is more beautiful than it was when originally purchased! With those kind of comments and over thirty five years of experience, we can assure you that WE ARE Furniture REPAIR AND ANTIQUE RESTORATION SPECIALISTS!
WE NEVER GIVE QUOTES OVER THE PHONE! Instead, we offer FREE IN HOME AND IN OFFICE ESTIMATES so that we can discuss with you the value of your antique and offer custom color sampling. WE TAKE THE TIME to involve the customer in the custom coloring process. You have to live with your antiques long after we finish the restoration process. If you need your piece color matched to existing furniture you already own, we can do that. If your antique has layers of dark varnish from aging, we can restore it to it's original state. We can always recommend a specific shade of mahogany, golden oak, or special walnut to bring out the wood's natural characteristics and make the grain stand out! That's a service you can not provide by a quote over the phone.
We also can provide recommendations from our very happy clients! Check our before and after photo album on our website www.oldworldfurniturerestorations.com on our antique restoration page. We think the pictures speak for themselves!
