I came to Raleigh from Oklahoma for a conference and inadvertently left my dress shoes at home,…read moremaking boots my only option to wear with a suit. "Rough-looking" is a massive understatement for the condition of my boots, so I went to Ealdwine for some shoe polish, and saw that the product had changed quite a bit over the past few years. I had a few questions about leather conditioner, how much polish to use, etc. (stuff like that), and Mr. Gray took the time to show me everything, on my boots at that. The difference is tremendous, and I'm not JUST talking about how my boots look now. For a business owner to take time out of his day, literally get his hands dirty, and go to such lengths for a customer who might come to Raleigh every five years or so... It speaks volumes about Mr. Gray as a person and business owner. I'm now more informed, equipped with some really good polish, and won't feel so embarrassed about wearing beat-up boots with a suit. Another cool thing, assuming most will be looking/shopping for more than shoe polish, the store's beautifully designed, and chockablock with some of the finest in men's clothing and beautiful footwear. Mr. Gray personally helped with the design in many of the latter (Alden's handmade in Massachusetts), so I definitely feel like I was in good hands, and had definitely come to the right place. Great owner. Top notch products. Perfect service. Great experience.

The quality of repair is better than I have experienced at any other shop in town. Willing and capable of fixing any and everything from the cheap pair of shoes that you love and wearout often, to the really expensive, intricate pair that you might be nervous to trust someone with repairing. Incredible leather knowledge and workmanship. Many of my girlfriends will only take their designer bags here for cleaning and repair. It's our go-to for resoling my fiancée's dress shoes as well. Highly recommend this place!

I'm going to be the WARNING review. I had not leather sandals that had stretched. He said so you…read morewant to add Velcro. I said it's not that simple. I put them on. I showed him what had to be done and asked if it was possible for them to do it. I repeated it has to be cut out and Velcro added to other section. He said he could. Pay up front $42. Since just adding Velcro should only cost $10-20 I assumed he understood the technicality. I wanted them for a trip. I picked them up and when I tried them the next day I realized he hadn't listened to a word I said and just added Velcro to the overstretched strap. In fact they were even worse and totally unwearable. I was so disgusted I kept forgetting about it. There are signs in every inch of the shop that say absolutely no refunds. So why bother going into speak to him. I'm always struggling for money and don't want the aggravation of their arrogance. So maybe if it's leather? Anything else complicated you will be screwed

On the day of service, Pater and Mark called to see if they can come earlier due to weather. They arrived on time and explained the whole treatment process to before doing the work. I was a little cautious as the leather is a Porsche tan color seat and worried of discoloration. They basically removed the stain spot and also repaired a worn out area of the center console where the material was 'peeling'. The process was actually quick and took about an hour. The result was fantastic. Stain removed and center console looks perfect. All in all, friendly service, on time, fair price, and great work! Highly recommended!! I included pics of before and after.

There were no other customers in the store and yet the sales lady didn't stand up, didn't greet us and didn't make suggestions that might suit us despite the both of us expressing interest.

Super thoughtful gift from the owner of the house and came in handy of those late nights with a newborn. Fast forward, we've been sprucing up the house, and decided to see what could be done with the rocker. FinishPros knocked it out of the park. They were quick and professional and well priced. A few days later, one of our kitchen chairs decided to break. What to do? I could spend $$$ on a whole new set, or bring it to a company I know will do an amazing job, and they really did. They were able to repair the base of the chair and get the paint to match perfectly. A wonderful team at finish pros, you guys won't be disappointed!
