He fixed the front leg and repaired the spindles. The repair gave me a chair that is like new. And I have confidence that the repair was done correctly.

Alain is a one-of-kind artist, and as I think of his multiple talents, I don't even know where to…read morestart. His incredible skills, infinite knowledge and exquisite taste are the proof that there is such a thing as the true 'Renaissance Man' in today's world, and that human mind can wonderfully integrate esthetics, engineering, production, creation, problem solving and much more in a unified, magic chemistry. Along the past decade, I have had the chance to work with Alain on multiple projects, each one of them presenting tremendous challenges. All projects, including the construction from scratch of a concert grand piano, reached completion beyond expectation, thanks to his ability to methodically and skillfully resolve every issue, whether technical, esthetic or economic, in an ingenious and efficient way. Alain's skills range from fine woodworker, metalworker, mechanic, chemist, painter, finisher, photographer, jeweler, restorer, constructor and designer. There is no material, no process that is of a secret or a threat to him. Should you have a challenging restoration to have performed, especially on valuable collectables, or a special project involving solving unforeseen issues, or simply looking for the ultimate achievement, I would undoubtedly recommend contacting Alain and make sure he is the one who will take care of your needs. His presence among us is nothing else than a true blessing. Arno Patin Arno Patin Studios, LLC Signature Pianos Paris/Detroit/Portland www.arnopianos.com

We found this company with a web search and I instantly felt at ease with having them do the work. They picked up our set, took it back to the shop, and took the chairs apart and reglued everything before stripping all of the pieces. We had them match as close as possible the original stain color, and the set came out absolutely beautiful. In fact, it was so well done that we had them do the same work on our oak kitchen cabinet doors. Their commitment to service is excellent, and their work is a unmatched. When visiting their shop, you see all kinds of antiques, from boat motors, bicycles, and furniture. I would highly recommend their commitment to craftsmanship and you will love the results.

He knows quality and he appreciates craftsmanship. We had our dining room table completely refinished. Words cannot express how well it turned out. It is absolutely fabulous looking now. I even would go far as to say it's better than new. Restoring furniture is a craft and an art. It will cost you money but it's all worth it when you go to a professional like this. Don't be fooled by some of these other clowns that say they restore things and do yourself a favor and go here first. Oh and the best part of the store is seeing the vintage 60's Ruttman mini bikes. Both of them were FANTASTIC and done to showroom award winning quality. Just being able to see those mini bikes was worth the trip to the shop. Thank you!!!

They went through all the pros and cons of material and construction options with me so I could make the best decision for my needs and budget. They also provided written documentation of how they were going to do everything - details on how the support posts would be set, on the structure, and on the deck boards, etc, many of which were beyond what the local building code requires. And then they were able to deliver on what they said they would do. The new support structure for my deck is rock solid, I swear I could park a truck on it. Good communication with me throughout the entire process. And the finished product is beautiful. I went with a composite deck material. While not the least expensive quote that I had, they were competitive. I went with them because I wanted it done right and last many years, and I fee that they were able to give me that.
