POWER CHAIR HERO…read more Dail Dekker was PHENOMENAL in his communication, service and pricing. I purchased a power recliner over a year ago and my son broke the power mechanism by constantly sitting on the legs of the recliner. This caused the power mechanism to completely break in half. Whenever we would try to recline the chair with shift down on the right side. I searched high and low for someone that could help me repair my chair and I either got no response or was told it was not something they could assist me with. Mr Dail was immediately responsive and walked me through how to get my chair details and the maker and model and he took the steps to reach out to the maker of the chair to find out about the replacement part and how much it would be. He set the expectation that it may take some time and he gave me the price up front which alone was such a blessing because I was terrified the replacement part would cost just as much as my chair. When the part came in he immediately reached out and scheduled me and showed up exactly when he said he would and he was RIGHT on time. He was extremely professional and friendly and down to earth. Not only did he take his time replacing the power mechanism but he also assisted my husband with placing the chair back on some risers that allow the chair to sit up higher. I would absolutely recommend him for all of your furniture needs and if it's something he can't do I truly believe he knows someone who can. Did I mention he came to ME Thank you sooooooo very much. My childrens butts will no longer touch my chair.... EVER! He has just the sweetest spirit! Felt like we've been friends for decades! He'll do right by you and your furniture!

This review is a rare departure from my usual restaurant reviews and one that is shamefully about…read moresix months overdue. In the spirit of supporting small local businesses, especially in view of our current pandemic crisis and the outstanding work they did for me, I cannot sit on this one any longer. The Strip Joint is a furniture refinishing and repair business that has been family owned since 1980. It specializes in the stripping, refinishing, restoration, woodworking, metal polishing, painting, and other custom finishes for old, damaged, and fine antique furniture. It was originally opened by Mike Campbell on 21st Street before moving to its current location on Colonial Avenue location a few years later. He retired in 2018 and passed the torch and all of his tools and materials to his son, Chase Campbell, who learned the business from his father growing up. Even though Chase had a degree in automotive repair, he decided to follow his heart and work full time at his father's business 16 years ago. Now in charge of the business, he exudes a great deal of passion for his craft, and it clearly sparkles in his work. His father is still involved in the business and often helps out on Saturdays. He also provides in home service, which may be on hold right now due to the pandemic. The Strip Joint is located on the opposite end of the same row of businesses where Yorgo's Bageldashery is situated. Yorgo's is on one end, and The Strip Joint is on the other. When they are open, their work van is out front and their door is open. They still appear to be in business during the pandemic. I walked by there just a few days ago, and their door was open. The place is larger than it appears from the outside. The work space inside consists of about 5,000 square feet. The work they did for me was the restoration of an antique copper Turkish coffee table tray that I inherited from my parents. It had become badly tarnished during the recent years I owned it. I have no idea how old it is, except that it is older than I am. My memories of it go all the way back to my early childhood. I've been told that the etchings on the tray resemble designs from the Ottoman Empire. This is no pie tin, as one person thought when I showed her a photo. It measures 28 inches in diameter and is quite heavy. The work they did included the stripping, polishing, and lacquering of the tray until it was reborn and given new life with its original shine and luster. The work was completed in October of last year and matched their estimate exactly. It now hangs proudly as a beautiful wall decoration in my home. I shall forever be indebted to The Strip Joint for restoring a valued family heirloom I shall cherish for life. The Strip Joint is a true Norfolk gem that has earned its support and reputation for the past four decades. If you have a piece of furniture that can use some love and restoration, The Strip Joint carries my highest recommendation.

Mr. Munden is a magician! During a recent move, a worker at the moving company (American Van…read moreLines), purposely broke down my Grandma's small antique dining table with a mallet or hammer, I suppose to make more room in the truck. It was badly damaged and returned to us as sticks in a sack. Mr. Munden was able to repair, rebuild, and refinish the table beautifully. It looked better than it did before it was damaged! He also refinished the accompanying chairs, and they also looked wonderful. He also performed a small repair on a vintage rocking chair, which also turned out really well. I am very grateful to Mr. Munden for his talent and for doing such a fine job with restoring treasured family heirloom pieces.

I loved the posts but knew it was impractical to keep the bed due its size so imagine how happy I was to hear about Monticello Antiques. Irene and Dave were able to enlarge the bed so it can accommodate a queen mattress, which is what I wanted in the guest room. They worked with me to design the headboard so it would be taller and more updated than the original and Dave fixed the posts where additional carving was needed. It just turned out beautifully. I couldn't be more pleased. You cannot buy the craftsmanship of this bed in today's world. Thank you, Irene and Dave for the love and care you gave to my grandmother's bed. It is lovely!
