There's a reason why Marco (Romani Restoration) is endorsed and referred by Pasadena Heritage: he's the best! Marco and his colleague, Donner, stripped 50+ years of paint off the mahogany/douglas fur windows, built-in bookcase, and hammered wrought-iron balustrade in our 1928 Spanish Deco in Glendale. His work is truly superb. When we have guests over, his work is usually the first things to get a comment in our home. It should be known that Marco is not only an architectural preservationist, but an artist. Someone who has decades of experience with an intimate knowledge of the oils, stains, color theory, and the methods required to restore the dignity back into the priceless wood that appoints these old homes. The paint strip, sanding, stain, finish, and reintroduction of any patina lost in the restoration is done totally by hand. Marco handles all the stain application and color matching--he is the expert, after all. Lastly, Marco did his best to work within our budget and timeframe; finishing the job within 15 work days and working 8am to 5pm. If you're looking for a topnotch job, you should choose Romani Restoration. You'll be happy you did. Thanks Marco! read more
