(See attached photos of some of the desk damage and subsequent great repair.) I saw Gamaliel's work and reviews and hired him for a very reasonable price. He was able to make our furniture look like new in one Saturday and even came back to work on the desktop that looked great but he wasn't satisfied with. I would not hesitate to use his services ever. (I believe he does work directly for furniture businesses too so he's got to be good.) 5+++ Stars

Kevin is the real deal, a furniture restorer, a craftsman and an artist. See BEFORE and AFTER…read morepictures. Bottom line: I don't believe anyone else in San Diego could do what he did. DETAILS: We had a disaster with our large, built-in bathroom vanity. Shampoo had spilled and wasn't discovered for months, causing extensive damage to 5 components: a large supporting vertical piece, the supporting bottom piece running the entire width of the vanity, a cabinet door, a drawer cover, and the drawer. I called numerous woodworkers, handymen, specializing in wood, cabinet makers, and cabinet companies. Most suggested cutting out pieces, patch-ups and coverups. Those that had a well-known reputation were concerned about the vanity's structural integrity. One suggested adding another bottom support, which would have completely changed the look and feel. An extremely reputable cabinet company told us they wouldn't even try because they weren't confident that they could remove the supporting vertical piece. THEN WE FOUND KEVIN. He didn't patch it. He didn't coverup damage. He didn't change the design. He restored it. In my opinion, Kevin is a true craftsman and artist, and probably a one-and-only. He told me his grandfather taught him the trade beginning when he was a young boy. His skill, patience, and attention to detail are extraordinary. Look at the photos. They tell the story. You will see what Kevin was up against. and that he gave us back our disaster as good as when we had it custom built almost 20 years ago (and better than prior to the damage).

I hired Kevin to put my rolltop desk back together which he did fine. But then he noticed a spot on…read moremy desktop and said it was an ugly repair and he could make it beautiful. However it turned out even uglier in my opinion. He said if you looked at it from straight on it would not be noticeable, which is true, but from other angles it is a glaring eyesore. He did not tell me it would be beautiful only from one angle and I am very disappointed. So frankly I would not hire him for a repair. This is a reply to your offer. Thank you for your offer to redo the work, but when I expressed concerns after your initial repair, that would have been the time to discuss alternative approaches. At the time you left me with that was just the way it was because of the way light is refracted. I tried to ignore it but it leaps out at you every time you walk by. It is much worse than it was before and 4 times larger. I hired another company to come out and see what they could do. Although their repair still isn't perfect, it is significantly less noticeable. At this point, I don't feel confident that another attempt would achieve the results I would like.

What a great business! Dave is the rarest of honest repairmen! He came out and gave me an honest…read moreestimate for refinishing my dining room table, and an honest assessment of the current value of my dining table. My parents paid thousands for it in the 1980's, but it wouldn't be worth the cost of repair! It has lived 40 good years and with a new tablecloth, hopefully I will make it last another decade or two. Sadly, we live in the era of trendy disposable furniture. So even though I decided not to refinish the table, Dave repaired a loose barrister bookcase glass panel and a drawer pull on my antique mahogany dresser. I wish I could hire him for more work! What a nice person!

I had a really disappointing experience with Oscar Lara, despite having had a good experience with…read morehim previously. When my sectional needed to be reupholstered, I trusted his recommendation and paid $6,380. Oscar specifically recommended the fabric for my vacation rental and demonstrated how stains would roll off. Less than a year later, the fabric was showing significant staining. When I contacted Oscar, his solutions were for me to spend another $4,700 to reupholster the sectional or have the cushions dry-cleaned between every rental--an impractical option for a vacation rental with only a three-hour turnover. He took merely $90 of responsibility After I fully explained my concerns, he insulted me and then stopped communicating with me. I relied on his professional recommendation for a significant investment and expected both the fabric and customer service to live up to what was represented. Unfortunately, neither did. I'm sharing my experience so others can make an informed decision about whether Oscar's recommendations and customer service are right for their needs.
