We never thought it could be fixed, as it was in many small pieces, but Dave did an incredible job of putting it back together and making it look as if nothing had ever happened to it. He also restored a chipped and darkened oil painting which we inherited. (It had been hanging over a fireplace). We had never seen the details or the actual colors in it before. He is very fast too, and his prices are more than fair. We highly recommend Dave.

Mike designed and installed a custom wall unit in my living room last September. I had been looking…read morearound for a year, including at Theodore's, and could find nothing that was both pretty and fit my needs. Mike was amazing to work with - patient, creative, thorough and a really nice person. I had very specific wants and needs to fit a 65 inch tv and still have lots of room to put "stuff" and look beautiful in a somewhat small space. Mike "hit it out of the ballpark" in every way. He made many changes along the way to fit my changing needs. Every part of the very involved wall unit came out exactly as i needed. The wall unit is absolutely stunning and is practical and useful as well. It came out better than I had anticipated- like a work of art with quality parts. Designing custom furniture is labor-intensive and time consuming and Mike made the process as smooth as anyone could hope for. I would highly recommend Mike for any custom furniture needs. He is a treasure in the field! I would love to post a photo but don't know how

Mike came highly recommended by a designer from Theodore's Furniture in Georgetown. He built 2…read morecustom items for us. The first is a bench in our bay window area, complete with storage. The 2nd item was a very sleek, modern fireplace surround to replace our dated one. He helped coordinate the stone, fireplace replacement and the piece he built for us is really beautiful- all one piece, no seams. He's a very friendly man and he was personally there for both installs to make sure that everything was perfect. My husband and I need to find another project for him. He is on the higher end price wise, but for really quality custom pieces, we felt it was worth it.

I was in need of the restoration of a family heirloom, a painting that my 95 year old mother…read morepainted when she was just 16 in 1945. From the moment I met Abbas he inspired confidence in his knowledge and expertise. Abbas knew immediately about the paint used, the nature of the cause of the damage, and even the history of the frame. In a matter of just a few months, Abbas was able to beautifully clean the painting, restore the damaged areas, and preserving it for the long term. The colors were vibrant, the restoration was perfect such that it appeared as it was originally, and my mother was very pleased. Thank you to Abbas and the team, wonderful work! My highest recommendation!

We had a teak dining room table and chairs that were 20 years old. The chairs were rickety; one was…read morebroken; and the tabletop had ugly watermarks on it. Peter came to our home, picked up all the furniture and worked on it at his shop. Then he brought it all back, and it was beautiful! The chairs were repaired and reinforced, and I would never have guessed that the tabletop could look so good. It's like we have a new table and chairs. He also beat the time estimate he gave us, and the price was fair for all the work. I highly recommend him and would use him again.

He picked the table up and returned it. For those of you who do not know what a drum table is, the center of the table goes around. Mine was badly broken causing the top to be very tilted. I told Mr Burkett, if he could not fix the table to turn and just have the top be connected to the part that turns, I would have him do the job. He came over and looked at it and said he was pretty confident he could fix it. I also have my grandmother's secretary and one of the doors was too warped to close, he fixed that too and now it closes perfectly.

Ross replaced the woven back of my pecan chair, and the chair looks new! I want to alert you regarding parking. Basically, there is no parking. Each business in that complex has a couple reserved parking spaces, with Bethesda Restorations having two. One time, I parked my car parallel to the front end of the two vehicles in the Bethesda Restorations reserved spaces, which worked well. Another time, the business next-door offered me one of their spaces. I was only there a short time for both visits. Don't expect a fancy interior when you open the door. The business is for restoring furniture, not to win an interior decorating contest. I believe you won't be disappointed in the workmanship.
