We were referred to Heredia Antiques by the lighting store that we use and Heredia did an excellent excellent job of refinishing our 55 year-old desk. They were easy to work with and extremely quick turnaround time...we even went out to their shop to inspect it before we committed to having them refinish our desk. Their shop was spotless and they had a number of items to inspect and that is what sealed the deal for us is that their shop was spotless and very nice things they were working on. They also came and picked up the desk and delivered it back here as well... this was a risk for us because we had reached out to a handful of companies a couple years ago and looked at their work online and was just not happy with their work. If you are in the market for having some furniture refinished, we strongly recommend Heredia Antiques. read more

I had Heredia Antiques do a refinish and some minor restoration work on an American of Martinsville mid century display case. I am beyond satisfied with the workmanship, the turnaround time, and the friendliness of Zeferino Heredia and his staff. I requested that they try to keep the new finish as close as possible to the original finish, and they were able to reproduce it perfectly. All of the dents, dings, scuffing, and scratches are no longer visible, and the worst damage (a large crack on the inside of the one of the doors) is fixed and no longer visible. This piece is ready to go for another lifetime. It was one week from pickup to dropoff, which I found very surprising considering the quality of the work. After I spent some time to look over the piece in detail once it was dropped off, I noticed just how much care was put into the restoration. The finish is completely smooth and uniform, and even the dirty aluminum hardware was cleaned and polished. The work was so well done that it's not obvious that any restoration work was performed, which is exactly what I (and I expect most customers) want for an antique restoration. It's also worth noting that I called another furniture restoration company before Heredia who quoted about double what Heredia charged, including the delivery (pickup and dropoff) charges. I don't think it's possible that the other company could have done a better job than what was done by Heredia. In the attached photos, there are some before and after pics of some of the most significant wear/damage that was repaired. I am now actively looking for more good deals on worn/beat-up mid century pieces so that I can have more work done by Heredia Antiques. I highly recommend them and will work with them again without hesitation. read more

When shopping for furniture antiques are perceived as expensive luxury items, but more often than not they are cheaper in price and higher in quality that most modern furniture. I recently bought an item from Heredia that needed refurbishment but was overall in decent condition. The price was very, very competitive and the craftsmanship put into cleaning it up was superb. When it was delivered (days early I might add) it appeared as if brand-new, I was stunned. I cannot recommend Heredia Antiques enough. If you're looking for a unique and classic piece of furniture for your home you owe it to yourself to stop in and consider what they have on offer. You won't be sorry. read more

Awesome results, terrific communication, fair price and on time as promised. What else can you want? Highly recommended. They refinished 6 high end dining chairs that were 20 years old and made them look brand new! read more

I had a antique oak table and 4 chairs that were in desperate need of repair and refinishing. I naturally turned to Yelp and found Heredia Antiques along with another company. After calling for general information, Heredia Antiques was the better price so I went with them. Heredino and Richard were at my home the following day for the pick up. They told me everything would be done in a week to 10 days. I thought great, sure but really didn't count on it because of how long everything is taking these days. Well, I was shocked when I got a call from Heredino informing me they would be delivering my table and chairs the following day! The job only took one week!!! My table and chairs look fantastic! They are beautiful! The job exceeded my expectations. I could not be more pleased from the initial contact to the final delivery of my furniture! I highly recommend Heredia Antiques! read more

I love Heredia Antiqurs!!! Had them redo our dining chairs. Would highly recommend. Communication was great and turn around. Our experience was top notch! read more

Brought My great-grandfathers 1920's dining table and chairs here. I had initially intended to take the furniture to another store to have it refinished and the chairs repaired but the other place let me down. I was looking through yelp and found Heredias, since it was just down the street from the other place I popped in, showed them the table and chairs a they quoted me a decent price. It took two weeks and I'm sure lots of work but the table and chairs look amazing! They had to make a few pieces from the chairs because of the supports were missing. I am so glad I had this done and didn't buy a new set. It was so worth every penny! I will definitely bring some more of my heirlooms here when the time comes. Thanks so much guys for the great work! read more

I took in some pine stools to get the spindles reset/re-glued. Other than RE-gluing them no other work was done. They charged me $35 per stool. That seemed excessive for what was done. I didn't have a chance to talk with the owner as he/she wasn't there. The man who helped although very nice, just kind of shrugged. read more

My go-to place for all antique repairs. I had an entire Louis XVI dining set and other chairs repaired there. They do good work and are very knowledgeable! Shaky antiques become new and fully functional again. They also have a whole warehouse full of original French antiques and they can modify, repaint, etc. Reasonable pricing and friendly staff, highly recommended! read more

Heredia Antiques in Santa Ana is filled with beautiful old and very old pieces - chairs, secretaries, mirrors, chandeliers and more - all looking for new homes ! And the gentlemen there do amazing repair work. I took a small round table that was my grandmother's to them - they repaired the split bottom, reattached the broken trim and hand made a new curved section of the trim. It looks so beautiful now - thank you Heredia Antiques! read more

I had an absolutely magnificent 5 star experience with Heredia Antiques after I called upon them to refinish a late 19th century "tallboy" dresser for me. Not only had the dresser been damaged in a recent move (one of the carved feet in the back fell off), but the finish had issues throughout the piece (splotchy, bubbled, chipped, etc) and the hardware was rather gross. We're talking dirt and grime accumulated over a hundred year period here. I did get numerous appraisals of the piece before I went ahead with the plan to refinish it. So no worries there. I finally picked Heredia Antiques to refinish the piece because they do NOT use a spray stain or varnish. They actually do things old school. I wanted traditional techniques since this tallboy is a true antique. And I was not disappointed. There are special details that come alive to a true antiques enthusiast inspecting work done by hand, instead of lazily applied with one machine after another. For less than $350, I had the piece picked up from my home, repaired, refinished, and stored before delivery. Talk about a crazy deal. They were completely finished with the dresser in about two weeks, which is super speedy in my book. But because the dresser was picked up before the holidays, and I LOVE to travel during the holidays, I was away for about a month. No worries there because Heredia Antiques had absolutely no problem storing the piece for me while I was away. I've been hit by astronomical storage fees from repairers / refinishers in the past, and that was a welcome and present surprise. Throughout the entire process, they kept in contact with me. Calling me at least twice a week to update me on the status of the dresser or other details. Providing me the phone number of their office, delivery truck, and even a cell phone just in case. The day of pick up, they called to confirm and arrived on the dot. The same went for the day of drop off. I've never ever had an OC merchant arrive on time for me, ever. And they did, twice. When the dresser was finally delivered to me, it was carefully wrapped in thick plastic to protect it on all sides. Noting that I have dark wood floors, they placed some non-permanent felt feet on the bottom of the dresser, so as not to scratch anything. Again with the attention-to-detail and high customer consideration. After they placed the piece in my designated spot in the living room -- where I plan on making it the decorative accent of the whole space -- they took all that thick wrapping off so I could inspect their work. The dark stain was the perfect complement to the natural cherry undertones of the wood, the high gloss finish was appropriate and authentic to the time period, the small finish flaws throughout that were originally very noticeable (at least, to me) had disappeared... they even refinished every drawer, inside and out. And I noticed that they also took the time to clean and buff my hardware. I am seriously still floored by how lucky I am to have come across them online. Never have I found a local service of any kind to be this courteous, professional, and high caliber. So long as I stay in the OC, I plan on taking all of my antique pieces to Heredia's. For anything. Refinishing, cleaning, or just a touch up, whatever. I'm there. I'm glad that I've found at least one service in the OC that I can consistently rely on and they're definitely going to be seeing a lot more of me. read more

I love "sneaking" into this place. It is tucked into the back lot in a commercial district of Santa Ana, so not easy to find. If you drive too fast down Dyer, you will pass the small arrow signage. Parking is easy, but you may feel a little like you should not be there. Each time I've visited, the staff has been busy at work in one area of the shop, restoring/repairing/refinishing things, and they don't always know I'm there. Chandeliers, gates, doors, furniture and so much more! The most fun thing about this place is that I never know what I might discover. And things are definitely easy to miss, as organization is not priority. Fine by me--I'm willing to dig to find a treasure. But we're not talking digging through Granny's attic; these items are imports, primarily from Europe.. If I have my history correct, the owner used to work for a huge antique store in Costa Mesa called Lyon's, which was there forever and was the real deal. The current owner bought the stock and probably went away with all the knowledge needed for restoration and sourcing directly from Europe. And employees, I would speculate. Good for him. Them. read more

I've used Heredia Antiques twice for furniture repairs and restoration. And I'll use them again in the future. Here's why: 1) They know their stuff - They easily recognize good quality furniture - They know the proper way to do the work and recognize any limitations they may encounter while working on it in order to maintain the furniture's integrity. 2) They are timely - Work has been completed before the estimated completion date (done in days instead of weeks) - They'll come out to pick up your furniture and not make you wait around 3) They are reasonably priced. - They offer better prices than their competitors - By the way: they also sell antiques read more

They do great work.They fixed my antique dining table and did a wonderful job. They are a great father and son team. A real pleasure to deal with. They picked up and then delivered my table when it was finished. I highly recommend Heredia Antiques. read more

I have had two transactions with Heredia Antiques and both have been very successful. They repaired and cleaned up 6 Duncan Phyfe chairs and they turned out looking brand new. Then we had an odd problem with an old armoire that resulted in a visit from wonderfully patient Tomas. He totally knows his stuff...the age, the style, the origin of our piece was common knowledge to Tomas. He solved our problem and we are so grateful. Thanks Tomas!! read more

We have been doing business with Zefferino since the early Lyman Drake days. We appreciate that his attitude is "yes, we can do that". Usually the turn around is quick , the workmanship, I would say (now that he's on his own) , is good but not great, in other words : don't bring your fine antiques . A piece of furniture w a clear and strong provenance would do better with a more refined hand. Good for what it is. Repairing , refinishing pretty good pieces but not beautiful pieces is what you should keep in mind. read more

Wow. Amazed at the restoration worksmanship of Heredia. Highly recommend them. The service was fast, less than one week, including no hassle pick up and delivery. Father and son small business owners with quality work. I also really enjoyed talking and briefly getting to know them, when they picked up the furniture. Mr. Zeferino really loves his craft and extremely proud of the work he does. I can tell it's the passion and hard work that keeps them in business for so many years with happy customers. THANK YOU Mr. Zeferino and son for restoring my damaged furniture. It looks even better than before! read more

I found Heredia's Antiques on Yelp, and they did not disappoint! Thank you fellow reviewers... my whole experience was truly amazing. I called for an estimate, and sent a few pictures. The quote was inline with what I was expecting. In two days, my pieces were picked up and in two weeks, they are back and beautiful! I had a chestnut two piece library that was repaired for cracks in the paneling, loose crown molding, broken lock and hinges. The finish was all gone and the wood was faded. It had been neglected in Reno for 20 yrs and now is a gorgeous addition to my kitchen. Heredia's stained it a very nice warm brown, and it was exactly the right direction to go for the 1890's library. The second piece is a tiger oak curio also 19th century that was damaged in the move around the mirror and in general need of TLC. Now it is expertly repaired and refinished with the perfect stain. Thank you Heredia's for taking such good care of my families treasures. I will now enjoy them for many years to come! read more

I had a broken dining room chair and the crew at Heredia were able to fix it for a fair price. I would give them my business again!

I can't even begin to express how amazing their work on my damaged armoire was. I called them after movers had cracked the side of my solid wood armoire. Tore the top off of it and dislodged the top mantel piece. I was absolutely beside myself. They asked to come out and see the piece, picked it up on a Friday and had it back to me by the following friday. Their price was fair, they were professional and treated my furniture with such care. I couldn't be more happy. Thank you so much Heredia Antiques. I will definitely use you guys again in the future! read more

I really can't add anything to what Elizabeth H. or Perlie P. has written. I just wanted to offer my praIse and satisfaction for the work Zepharino and his staff did on my OLD Duncan Phyfe drop leaf table. He even went as far as to redo the leaves (which were in perfect condition) so they matched the finished table. The top of the table was badly scratched and damaged on only one (1) corner, but it needed a full repair to have it look right. I would never know where the original damage was now. Good place to deal with furniture and very nice people to do it with. read more
