Carmel Custom Refinishing

Great job, as good as new or better.

Absolutely stunning quality and craftsmanship in the finished product. My expectations were blown away in what Jason and his team were able to do. The furniture has been returned to like new condition. The challenge was immense, and I can't say enough about the quality of the work. And I have to say that the gentlemen that delivered the furniture were extremely careful and professional. Highly recommend this company and I will definitely use CCR again!

The whole process from estimate to pick up to return took only a few weeks. The item was gone for only a week. The file is completely functional again. They also checked to see that all the glides were fastened properly. I was very satisfied with their work.

The project was smooth start to finish. The owner, Jason, provided me a quote over email within a day of sending him measurements and dimensions. They came and picked up the dressers and called me in a couple weeks once they were ready for me to pick out the stain color. They got the stain to match exactly what I had wanted. They delivered the dressers when they were finished. The dressers don't even look like the original. The original color was a yellow toned, oak color. It was worth every penny to refinish them because these were two solid, well-made pieces and I couldn't find the quality in the stores today without spending more than I did with Carmel Custom Refinishing. I would highly recommend this business. The process does take some time 4-5 weeks total for me but the process in general just takes time. It was well worth the wait which I didn't think was long at all.

Jason re-glued the legs and added some shims on the bottom of the legs. Since we have a 75 lb granite top on this table the thinking was it had simply worn the legs out. They glued and screwed the legs to make them much more rigid and used felt pads under the legs to straighten everything up. <br /> The job went well and was done much faster than originally quoted. Then much to our surprise Jason wouldn't accept any money for the job! He would just say he worked on it and sorry it didn't perform. You just don't find that sort of professionalism in every shop. Thank you for a job well done and if we ever have more things to refinish, it will be coming to your shop!! <br />

I will say that the work was exquisite. The damaged piece was a 70+ year old mahogany chest of drawers that had been my grandparents. You would never be able to tell that a repair was made - it is seamless.  All of the pieces came out beautifully. When they picked up the pieces on April 14, I was told it would take 4-6 weeks. It was actually 3 1/2 months before the furniture was completed. The only time I spoke to them was when I initiated the call. So, you will get excellent work, but be aware that they are slow. I would suggest you call every week at a minimum to keep on their radar. <br />

It was a bit of a difficult job, but Chase was able to keep at it diligently until he found a solution that would keep the leg firmly attached.  (The chair design wasn't very good to begin with.)  He made it work after multiple tries.   We are please with the outcome. If we have future legs of our remaining chairs have the same break, we will definitely bring them to Carmel Custom Refinishing. <br />

Work took a while longer than I had expected, but the results were fantastic.   The table looks new and the end tables are greatly improved. <br />

Did a great job, the chairs look great. Only issue was they took a long time, months to do the job. <br />

Chase was very thorough in examine the desk and its condition prior to starting the work. I had put some bleach on the wood to remove the stain. He was uncertain if he could fix that or take care of the damage. In the end, he was able to do so. I appreciated his assessment at the beginning. He was properly setting my expectations for what was possible. He was able to far surpass them

It went wonderful!  I would use this company again in the future.

It turned out great! This was a swing that I had purchased in an estate sale in the mid 1970s. Once I moved from my bungalow, I stored it in a garage attic for close to 35 years. My son now lives in Denver in a bungalow with a beautiful front porch just waiting for the swing. I took it to Carmel Refinishing and they were able to restore, strip, and repaint the swing. It is thought to have been made in the late 1800s. It was driven to Denver and now swings on their porch. <br />

Have used them in the past and will continue to do so in the future as there aren't many options in town.  Service may take a few weeks based on their schedule and what activities they are doing that week.  All in all it was a very good experience.  They do great work and is worth the investment.  Sometimes they can be a little slow to call and tell you that your project is ready so it may be necessary to call and ask about status. <br />

Excellent finished piece of furniture.  They were very slow to get the job done.  I think the old adage the squeaky wheel gets the grease applies to there promptness. <br />

We took the chair in to the shop. The owner talked to us (stopped what he was doing) and examined our chair. He told us he thought it could be repaired and would last a long time, which it has. Great job. Knowledgeable guy. Told us where to get glass cut for other furniture tops I wanted protected. Very good job. <br />

After seeing their excellent Angie's List ratings we called Jason back in late June to come out and give us an estimate to have our cabinets refinished. They are painted eggshell white and were original to the house. Jason came out and explained how he would take the damaged doors and drawer fronts back to his shop and have the color analyzed and matched by a computer program. The process took longer than we expected, about 3 weeks but it was a busy summer season so we didn't have a problem with the time it took. Once we got them back, they matched beautifully next to the undamaged doors and we were very pleased with the results. We would definitely call Carmel Custom Refinishing again, no question. <br /> My husband is a perfectionist and super-picky but he couldn't have been more pleased with the workmanship and with the professionalism displayed by Jason. <br />

Not sure that the above cost estimate is correct. My memory is a bit foggy about that part. But I was VERY pleased with the work they did. We were moving to a new home around the holidays and I needed my dining room table refinished in time for Thanksgiving. They picked it up at my previous home, completed the work in a very timely manner and delivered it to me at my new home - looking absolutely beautiful and transformed - just in time for me to host Thanksgiving dinner. Couldn't be happier with the service I received! <br />
