    Markings on driveway

    DO NOT USE!!! Dave was 20 minutes late to his appointment (AAA had to come out because he left his car light on). That wasn't a huge deal, but then other things happened and that's why I'm posting this review. Dave's Job was to repair a scratch on the steering wheel as well as scrapes on both the front driver and passenger seats. After working for a few hours, Dave said he was done. I came out and pointed out a scratch on the steering wheel (not the original one, a new one Dave did). He said I was meticulous like him and he would fix it. Half hour to forty minutes later, he asks me to come take a look at his work. I pointed out scratches/marks on the front seat in the areas that Dave was supposed to repair. Dave said he wanted me to be happy, so he said he would fix it. Another half hour to forty minutes later, he said he was done and if I could look at his work. I noticed a tiny area on the steering wheel that was raised, but because I had to leave, he left me a piece of sandpaper to file it down later. The product wasn't dry so he couldn't file it down himself. Overall the areas he worked on were satisfactory. I wasn't one hundred percent happy, but it wasn't horrible work either. Once I got home, I discovered there were product marks on my driveway, garage floor, and throw rug. I took photos and sent them to Dave. He said had it seen it, he would have cleaned it... really??? Instead of offering to come back to clean it, he told me the product was water based, and to use soap and water to clean it. About two weeks later, I discovered there was something on the inside of my right rear passenger side door and the inside panel. I was able to clean most of it, but then I realized it was from Dave's job. There was overspray on the inside panel as well as product drip on the inside of the door. I immediately stopped, took photos, and called him. I sent the photos to Dave. He offered to come over and clean it, and said the overspray was from him, but not the drip marks on the door. Not wanting him to come back, I asked for a partial refund. Dave replied back saying he could come out and clean it, even if he didn't cause it (which he did). I then tried a second time to clean it. While doing so, I realized if I picked at it, I could peel it off... but only in really small pieces. It took me 15-20 minutes to clean it all off. I took 3 videos of my cleaning it and sent them to Dave. I told him between cleaning my garage floor, driveway, the overspray, and him dripping product in my car, it took me a total of about 40 minutes to clean up after his job. His reply was the drip marks were from a leaky airbrush, but then said he said never worked in the back seat.... huh? I even asked him if he ever had the right rear passenger side door ever opened during the job, but he said he couldn't recall. He was very sassy in his last text message and told me he was confused as to why I called him in the first place because I was able to clean it. And he told me he was way past being off work and if I wanted to discuss the matter further I could message him the next day. On his website it says he works till 8:00pm, I messaged him right before 8:00pm. Needless to say, save yourself the headache, use someone else!

    I had a great experience with Randy's work. He was fast, affordable, and extremely professional.

    We own a beautiful, old, rosewood secretary that was handed down for ages on my husband's side of…read morethe family. The poor old thing (the secretary) was really showing her age with years of touching up, damage and oxidation. She was long overdue for a rehaul. I found AAA on Yelp and texted Keith. His response was quick and honest and he was willing to take the job on at a very reasonable cost, and referred me to Stan. Stan was also quick to respond and we arranged a time for pick up and an ETA. Stan contacted us anytime he had a question about something and sent pics of her in progress. After about 2 to 3 weeks, he was ready to bring her back and we were extremely flabbergasted at how gorgeous she had turned out. When you have a piece of furniture so long and it looks so worn, it's hard to imagine what it could look like beautified. I am attaching before and after pics to show what wonderful work they did, which included completely stripping her, which Stan said was VERY labor-intensive. She was covered in old varnish and old polish. I digress. Here are the pics, and a very high recommendation for AAA.

    Recently as a result of an upstairs water leak that caused damage to the furniture in our dining…read moreroom we contacted AAA Woodcrafters to restore our furniture. Although I can't comment on the cost since it was covered by insurance, the workmanship was top quality. Keith refinished our 12 foot wood veneer dining room table, two credenzas, a two piece China cabinet, and reupholstered ten dining room chairs. In addition to the excellent work we were appreciative with the speed in which it was completed. He always promptly responded to any of our inquiries. We also appreciated his willingness to hold our furniture while other work was being completed.

    Kevin is the real deal, a furniture restorer, a craftsman and an artist. See BEFORE and AFTER…read morepictures. Bottom line: I don't believe anyone else in San Diego could do what he did. DETAILS: We had a disaster with our large, built-in bathroom vanity. Shampoo had spilled and wasn't discovered for months, causing extensive damage to 5 components: a large supporting vertical piece, the supporting bottom piece running the entire width of the vanity, a cabinet door, a drawer cover, and the drawer. I called numerous woodworkers, handymen, specializing in wood, cabinet makers, and cabinet companies. Most suggested cutting out pieces, patch-ups and coverups. Those that had a well-known reputation were concerned about the vanity's structural integrity. One suggested adding another bottom support, which would have completely changed the look and feel. An extremely reputable cabinet company told us they wouldn't even try because they weren't confident that they could remove the supporting vertical piece. THEN WE FOUND KEVIN. He didn't patch it. He didn't coverup damage. He didn't change the design. He restored it. In my opinion, Kevin is a true craftsman and artist, and probably a one-and-only. He told me his grandfather taught him the trade beginning when he was a young boy. His skill, patience, and attention to detail are extraordinary. Look at the photos. They tell the story. You will see what Kevin was up against. and that he gave us back our disaster as good as when we had it custom built almost 20 years ago (and better than prior to the damage).

    I hired Kevin to put my rolltop desk back together which he did fine. But then he noticed a spot on…read moremy desktop and said it was an ugly repair and he could make it beautiful. However it turned out even uglier in my opinion. He said if you looked at it from straight on it would not be noticeable, which is true, but from other angles it is a glaring eyesore. He did not tell me it would be beautiful only from one angle and I am very disappointed. So frankly I would not hire him for a repair. This is a reply to your offer. Thank you for your offer to redo the work, but when I expressed concerns after your initial repair, that would have been the time to discuss alternative approaches. At the time you left me with that was just the way it was because of the way light is refracted. I tried to ignore it but it leaps out at you every time you walk by. It is much worse than it was before and 4 times larger. I hired another company to come out and see what they could do. Although their repair still isn't perfect, it is significantly less noticeable. At this point, I don't feel confident that another attempt would achieve the results I would like.
