The cleaning, refinishing, and gluing work Bob did on my two pressed back dining chairs was great! The chairs I took to him had many years of grime and paint splashes on them, the spindles were rickety, and the leg pads made the chairs uneven. Bob very quickly fixed them up and made them as good as new - in only a few days! They are now absolutely beautiful - and are solid to sit on to boot. His work was done with care and precision. The "stickiness" was gone. The coats of spray he put on were spectacular. The old paint splatters were cleaned up and gone. And the legs now sit evenly - all thanks to Bob's diligent workmanship. His cost was reasonable for the work done. Bob Lewicky is a down-to-earth guy who really knows what he is doing! I would highly recommend him to my friends if they have wooden furniture that needs refinishing. Thanks a bunch Bob! read more

Bob Lewicke - Furniture Repair Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Bob's skill in furniture refinishing is awesome. Our kitchen table had several large burn marks on it and Bob made it look brand new.

Bob Lewicke refinished to its original appearance a Stickley desktop and bed footboard that had incurred water damage during longterm storage. He repaired and stained to match a farmhouse desktop that was damaged when it was dropped on its corner. But the 'piece de resistance' was the refinishing of my mother's antique maple sewing machine cabinet and bench, complete with refurbished hardware. He arranged for a local reupholsterer to do the bench cover. He picked up and delivered for me. He was VERY reasonably priced. Bob is excellent at his craft and a great person. i wish I had more work for him. See two photos. read more

I found Bob on Yelp (He's also on Angie's List). I strongly encourage you to hire him for your project. a) We purchased an antique liquor cabinet with many issues. The entire wood piece needed to be refinished. Also, the feet on the cabinet had been chewed up and needed to be remade. There was a long crack down one side too. The piece looks beautiful. Bob describes what he'll do. He asks enough questions to understand your expectations for the results. He picked up and delivered finished cabinet too. b) We have a little roll-top desk with mismatched stain on the legs. He matched the piece well. He also built a little shelf where a drawer had been previously. c) We have a cute little barber's table which really needed quality finishing on the shiny top and on the worn front drawers. It looks Fantastic after Bob worked on it. His fee was fair for all and I paid it with a smile! Thanks, Bob. read more

Bob did a great job in refinishing an old wooden blanket chest with metal handles that will now become more of a centerpiece in our decorating scheme for the living room. We also appreciated his effort in coming to our house for pick up and then delivery back to us in a timely fashion. read more

I initially found Mr Lewicke through Angie's List before moving to PGH. I called him prior to moving & he made it over to my place my first full day after the movers dropped off my things. I brought an oak butcher-block dining table that I had done a poor job with in terms of trying to keep a protective finish applied. I used too much shellac & a lot of dust had stuck to it. Since I lacked a vehicle large enough to transport it myself, he agreed to drive out in his van. He didn't see it as a challenge, but because of it's size, it would take a bit of time, requiring a strip-down & refinishing with a proper coating. I think it took about two weeks. When he returned, I gave him two smaller tables to re-do. Since those were able to fit in my car, I drove to his shop just below Butler street to get them. Several months later we bought a used wooden rocking chair & I brought that to him. All these items were much improved after being re-finished. More recently, two of my dining room chairs developed seperate issues, so he was the one I called. He just happened to be near my neighborhood, so he stopped by & determined he could fix them. He took them & called me a week later to get them. I found his fees reasonable, though I had no other estimates to compare. Especially after I just moved-in, I didn't have the time to search for different vendors for this & he seemed like the right guy for the job. I especially liked the fact that he was willing to pick-up & deliver if needed. read more
