My wife and I initially hired Fred and Gabby to redecorate the tv wall in our great room. We had an idea of what we wanted but had not yet conceptualized exactly how it would look like. Fred and Gabby were extremely patient and communicative, offering different solutions and options. Once we settled on the design, they did a great job of communicating expectations, timeline, and also suggesting changes to improve aesthetic and functionality. Fast forward two years later, I wanted to remodel my office with a built in desk, cabinets, and shelving and contracted again with Old World. I had very specific requests with this project and Fred and Gabby were able to deliver again! They worked quickly, cleanly, and were open to minor changes that I raised during the project. I spend a lot of time at my desk and definitely feel my office has leveled up. My work environment is now sturdy, functional, stylish, and comfortable. There are a lot of options here in the desert but I would highly recommend Old World many times over. read more

There is absolutely nothing I can say about Fred and his team other than unbelievably professional and exceptional customer service. We had about 5 different companies come down to bid on our kitchen remodel and there was NO comparison in responsiveness. The bid was complete and Fred and a few of his team members brought the bid down to explain it to us. They helped us with design questions and when we picked out our Quartz from a local supplier instead of through their supplier it was not a problem and their installer stored it until we were ready. I suggest as you start looking to hire a company, do not make a mistake and go elsewhere. The job started and finished on time and they showed up every day when we were expecting them. Gabi who is Fred's right hand person is amazing!!! She is knowledgeable and thoughtful. When I had a concern, she made it right-immediately. I can't say enough but please call them and have them come to your home to discuss your renovations. We were over the moon happy and jumping for joy! read more

Fred and the crew built new kitchen and bathroom cabinets for me. They turned out better than I could have imagined. I have redone several homes and have never had a better group of people to work with and have never had a better turnout. I will use them for every project I do going forward.

Could not be happier! We were recommended to OW to have our dining room table refinished. Within a day or two after my call, Fred came to the house to inspect the table. A couple of days later I received a very reasonable quote and the table was picked up a couple of days after that. And in less than the 2 weeks I was promised the refinished table was delivered back to my house and it was GORGEOUS! They did a great job, were super-easy work with and I would use them again in a second! read more

I recently gave a poor review regarding bathroom cabinets we had refaced. A few months after the work was completed some of the paint began to peel on one of the cabinet doors. We tried for two weeks to contact OW to repair the problem but received no response. Fred finally contacted us to let us know they had been closed for 2 weeks due to a death in the family. Fred contacted us and the door is currently being repaired. Thank you Fred. read more

We used this company to repair and refinish a large Ralph Lauren armoire. One of the doors was damaged and a previous repair was poorly done. OW was responsive and professional throughout. We first sent them photos of the damaged door which they assessed they could repair. They then examined it in-person, recommended what needed to be done to bring the entire piece back, provided a detailed and descriptive estimate and arranged to have the piece transported to their facility. It took several weeks to complete the project as the unseasonably hot weather was not conducive to doing the work. OW responded to inquiries throughout and, when their delivery company flaked out, they brought the armoire back themselves as promised. We were thrilled with the results. There is no evidence of the previous damage and the whole piece looks better than it did when we purchased it. And all this at a reasonable price. We would highly recommend OW without hesitation. read more

Last November, we had an elaborate front door and side lights stripped, refinished, and restored - and I now realize I never wrote a review. Wood refinishing seems to be very hard to come by in the Coachella Valley, so it took us quite awhile until we discovered Old World. Because the entry system is so elaborate with side lights and a lot of wrought iron details, I admit I was very nervous about the process. Fred and his entire crew were completely professional and very patience with my frequent questions and concerns. I cannot speak highly enough of this company; the staff and quality of workmanship in this day and age is unbelievable. I highly recommend Old World! read more

After buying a new home in Rancho Mirage,Ca., I decided to redo the kitchen cabinets and replace the cabinet door and draw fronts in the bathrooms. After interviewing two other cabinet companies I chose Old World Custom Cabinetry because of the quality of the materials and the unique finishes they were able to achieve. It's been over a year now and I am still very pleased with what Fred and Jordan were able to accomplish. The entire crew were friendly , accommodating and a pleasure to work with. read more

I'd give Old World Custom Finishing 10 stars if I could. From start to finish my kitchen cabinet refinishing job was shear perfection. From our first meeting to the jobs completion, I felt like my kitchen was the entire teams number 1 priority. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and knowledge is unsurpassed. I got several estimates for my job and OW's was by far the best both in cost and in the amount of time it would take to finish the job. To say the least I was very nervous about refinishing my dark wood cabinets and making them white. Fred and Jordon assured me they could do the job and do it to my complete satisfaction and they kept their word. My kitchen is now my dream kitchen and I have Old World Custom Finishing to thank for it. I highly recommend Fred and his team. They are without a doubt the best in the business. read more

Fred and his team just completed our kitchen renovation this week. They did a beautiful job restoring and finishing 1960s "heritage" cupboards as well as the installation of a complex new countertop and backsplash. Work was done in record time with great coordination of, and excellent work from, all the trades. We were so pleased we already commissioned them to refinish more pieces in our home. Would not hesitate to recommend. read more

Three appointments scheduled. Two with Danny, one with Fred. Each time they no showed. After apology upon apology, they gave me an astronomical price quote. It was cheaper to buy new than have them refinish. Total waste of time. read more

Old World did a fabulous extensive refinishing job in the home we recently purchased. They refinished all cabinets throughout the entire house (kitchen, master bath, study bath, 2 guest baths, bar, and hallway).

We recommend Fred and his entire crew wholeheartedly. They do outstanding work! read more
