Get matched with top furniture refinish pros in Highland Park, IL

"Our kitchen table chairs and table legs were over 30 years old. The finish was peeling and needed significant refinishing work. We worked with Marcus and we could not be happier with the result. The refinished furniture looks as good or better than the original finish. We would highly recommend this refinishing service."

"I highly recommend Eric to anyone with furniture issues. He is knowledgeable, efficient, on time and does exceptionally fine work. Eric explained everything that was broken in my recliner and specifically how he would repair it. He gave me a reasonable estimate and finished the job under estimate. I have had my Barcalounger for years and it hasn't worked as easilly for a long time. I am truely grateful to have contacted Mr. Fiore, he is exceptional."

"Mr. Arreguin did an amazing job of refinishing a hardwood entrance door and also repairing a cracked door frame. The door is like new. I also appreciate the excellent customer service and communication with Vanessa at his office regarding appointment times. I'm considering JCA for other wood working projects in my home."

"Progressive Restoration (Marcus Postawa) had a contract with our Town Home Association since 2012. They did an outstanding job on the town homes they painted that year. Due to financial difficulties, our Association did not honor the 2 buildings per year requirement in the contract.  Marcus was more than patient, and worked with the Board in order to fulfill the contract terms.  He even waited 3 years to get the balance paid in full. (9/2015)

The Board of Directors had a 5-way phone conversation with Marcus at a Board Meeting ( April 20, 2016) and we voted 4-1 to accept the new Change Order for 2016, which included a price increase above the 15% contract cost for our default of the 2 buildings per year requirement. The extra cost was due to severe weathering and deterioration of our siding and trim, which was going to require extra time and work. At no time was our Board of Directors considering legal action against Progressive Restoration. 

 Progressive had already signed other contracts prior to receiving our Association's signed contract and down payment, due to one Board member. He needed to complete the other jobs before starting our labor-intensive project. He wanted to begin when he could complete the two buildings from 2015  and start/finish the next two buildings without moving paint , painting equipment, and ladders. 

 I  was the Board member who was in contact with Marc during this new contract change order signed on April 29,2016, and was kept informed of targeted starting dates for our town homes.  He said he was about a month or so out from starting, but an unusual rainy June delayed completion of his other jobs before beginning our town homes.  

 Marcus and his painters had always been courteous and professional to me and other homeowners,  and they were always willing to explain work details.  Marcus contacted me on several occasions to tell me of compromised roofs, cedar trim, and gaps in flashing and siding.  He was told to paint the trim anyway so it looked uniform until it was replaced.

Progressive Restoration fulfilled their contract ( Power washing, caulk, 2 coats of paint...I  watched them while they painted one building in the 90 degree heat). He even included a 60 year caulk at no extra charge. The Board mailed homeowners and asked them to move patio furniture and yard objects away from the buildings prior to the painters beginning, but many didn't comply. The Board had told homeowners that anything not moved would be removed at their own expense, or this area wouldn't be done.  Marcus and his painters moved much of this themselves., at no charge. 

Punch lists were completed.  The President of the Homeowners Association, a Board member on the Architectural Committee, and  I walked each and every building with the painters, with their paint brushes and paint buckets in hand, and asked them to touch up a few areas before they were paid. They reminded us that their work comes with a 3 year warranty, and they seemed very proud of this!

Marcus and his painters did an excellent job, considering the condition of our siding and cedar trim boards. He really is a perfectionist, and I'd recommend Progressive Restoration for any painting job!"
