"Jose is very accommodating- thorough- I wanted two shelves attached to my kitchen soffit to salt and pepper shakers in my kitchen- he measured very carefully, painted the wood and they were placed with precision- Jose is kind and when he was going to need an extra day to complete he gave me enough notice- he cleaned up and I would highly recommend him for all your carpentry needs."

Hello, thanks for choosing Anthony Raimonde, for your furniture/door strip, refinish and touch up needs. I take great pride in total customer satisfaction and quality service. Call us today. We welcome both residential and commercial jobs!
"This review is long overdue which is my fault! However, I hired Tony and his team to completely refurbish two antique pieces that I inherited from my family - both more than 55 years old. And the photos speak for themselves- both pieces look brand new and I am proud to have them in my home. The dresser was my mom's baby dresser and had been stored in a garage for more than 20 years so the water damage and swelling caused the piece to be unusable. Tony and team rebuilt the entire top to match the style. I now use it daily and each drawer slides open perfectly as well. The vanity was my great grandma's and while I had been using it daily for several years it was also in rough shape. I truly couldn't believe how amazing it looked after the work PFSW did. I ordered custom glass toppers to further protect it and I continue to use it daily. I love having these family heirlooms in my home and I am so glad I trusted them to Tony. Thank you for restoring these treasured pieces."

"Greg and his team did a fantastic job. It was a challenging project requiring them to partially demolish the wood frame garage, install a new roof deck on it, build a pergola with privacy and connect it all with the existing steel stairs. Greg offered great advice along the way that enhanced the project. At the end of each day the site and surrounding area was cleaner than when they arrived. When Greg ran into a delay with the iron work he took on the task himself and again exceeded our expectations. We went from staring at a garage to having a beautiful outdoor space in the city for our family to enjoy."

Biango Construction strives on giving all of our customers the best quality craftsmanship and pricing in the industry. Locally owned operated. We guarantee your satisfaction! Free estimates.
"I had Biango Construction complete a full gut renovation of my main floor powder room and laundry room/mudroom. This included a major change in layouts and moving walls, doors, HVAC, plumbing, gas lines, and electrical. I also had custom cabinets and hall tree built for the space. The final result is exceptional (see photos). While the time ended up taking longer than originally expected, it was worth it to have a trusted pro do the work and to deal with the permit process. The company was easy to work with, professional, and maintained a clean workspace across my house. All individuals working on my house with Nick Biango paid high attention to detail throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend Biango Construction to anyone doing renovations or wanting built-ins added to their home."

"Bonnie has cost your business the possibility of revenue due to her discriminatory questioning. Her heavy non-English accent was very hard to understand. She also cheapened your company by stating right off the bat if the homeowner spoke English, then long paused. She rudely remarked no Senior discounts then another long pause. We own an over million dollar mansion/landmark and her demeanor has made it a loss for your mediocre contractor business."

In many cases, refinishing your furniture is more affordable than buying new. You can often save up to 50% compared to purchasing new pieces, while also reducing waste and preserving unique items.
When applying a darker stain, you don't need to completely remove the existing lighter stain. However, it's essential to sand the surface and apply a quality sealer before staining to ensure even coverage and adhesion.
Refurbishing involves gentle cleaning and minor touch-ups without altering the existing finish, preserving the original character. Refinishing involves removing the old finish and applying new stain or paint, resulting in a transformed appearance.
Furniture made from materials like plywood, particleboard, or MDF can be challenging to refinish due to their fragility. These materials require extra preparation and may not yield the desired results.
Yes, refinishing antique furniture can decrease its value because collectors often prefer the original finish. Before refinishing an antique, consider consulting a professional to explore restoration options that preserve its historical authenticity.
Water-damaged or swollen wood can be repaired if the damage is not extensive. You begin by assessing the severity of the issue before undertaking repair. Professional refinishing employs techniques such as sanding, filling, and targeted restoration to fix minor imperfections. Skilled intervention salvages the piece’s appearance while ensuring long-term durability and a refreshed finish.
