I wanted just one single chair for our living room. I wanted help in picking out this chair so…read morethat it would go with everything else. Our living room is not what is in style today, but it is more of an "Old English" style. Not easy to find someone who would help with just one small thing. I have a chair I liked, I looked to see where their chairs were sold, and called and asked for a recommendation. Luckily they gave me Jeff's name. I was apologetic for such a small job, but he happily accepted the challenge. He found several fabrics, and we quickly picked out a green plaid one. But since he was at our house, you know how this goes......I mentioned that I hated my dining room table. Jeff suggested that we get a table that would blend with our antique buffet. Expensive, so I dragged my feet. When the chair arrived, Jeff and I spoke again. I told him that the one thing that I regretted was not getting the table. He said as with everything else, prices were going up, and I might consider doing it sooner rather than later. Jeff came out once again to look at the finishes, so that we could pick a finish that blended best with what we already have. When the table arrived, we told Jeff that our shower was leaking and it was time to update......you can see where this is going. Not only did Jeff meet us twice at tile stores, but he found someone who would replace our shower for us. (Previously we had called about 6 different people, and no one would come out, they just wanted us to send pictures, and then we never heard from them again.) I haven't even mentioned the living room pillows for my couch that brighten up the room.....Jeff is a pleasure and easy to work with. He understood what I was looking for and was a great cheerleader when I got rid of my old clunky dining room set! And let's face it, I'm still thinking about the quail lamp that he showed me....we are very happy with everything that Jeff helped us with. Our house looks refreshed, and more updated.

Jeff has been the designer on several of our projects over the years. What a pleasure he is to…read morework with. He gets the details worked out before we start bidding. It gives our clients an accurate cost for their project so they have a very good idea of what their budget needs to be. I think his design style is creative without going over the top. We've done bathrooms, kitchens, and even wine cellars with Jeff's guidance! Eric Lamascus www.DiscoverElite.com

A relatively inexpensive but family-sentimental ceramic ballerina was smashed into tiny bits by the…read moremale brat-cat of the house. A full search of Fresno resulted in repair rejection, seemingly based on detail required, monetary value of the piece or lack of necessary expertise. Then came Ryan and The Finishing Touch. Honest from the first call through the entire process about cost (likely more than the piece), time required (not a short period project) and expected result (likely close to original but no promises). So the broken ballerina and all her bits were brought over and Ryan undertook restoration. The piece was picked-up today and - wow. It is perfectly restored to its original beauty and amazingly so. Ryan actually pieced together every little chip, masterfully filling any gaps and matching even the paint to its original sentimental state. If you have any piece worth saving Ryan and The Finishing Touch is your destination. Any family memory is worth the price of restoring it. Ryan's and TFT's expertise is worth every reasonable charge as this is art and restoration at its finest.
