She is a portrait artist in her own right and also has some lovely landscapes in her studio. We found her pricing to be very reasonable, given the degree of professionalism and the amount of time required. And she is a lovely person!

The medal supervisor agreed it was something they could do. They did advise me it would be 3 months out because they were so busy. This was early April. I called in September just to check and was told it was not ready yet, probably October. They emailed me early October it was ready. I went to pick it up. The person that waited on me at pick up brought the table out. I started looking at it and questioned some markings on what was supposed to be the new leg. When he went back to ask about it I was then told they could not replace it, they just repaired it. awhile he was done I started looking over the table and was astonished at the poor repair work. The work was very poor, I think a local welder could have done as well. The table is not level, the leg does not reach the shelf that would let it handle weight (all others do). I am most upset that I was not informed about the change. I could Have looked for someone else. When I picked it up they would have charged me full price if had not questioned the work. I did pay 1//2 the quote which was the deposit and way too much for the quality of work that was done. Beware because haveing a written work order does not guarantee that is what will be done.

Brian is the real deal and I'd gladly recommend him to all my friends/family. Here's my story:…read more I recently acquired a (very) rare car that holds tremendous sentimental value to me. The BMW E39 5 series never came equipped with BMW's "cinnamon" interior- only European examples received it. Well, I somehow got my hands on a 2003 525iT wagon that had this exclusive "BMW Individual" Cinnamon interior- possibly the only one in the country. I currently have a 2000 528iT in alpine white that I'm rebuilding from the ground up and this was my ideal interior to swap in. Though it was rare, it was also very beat up (15yrs and 195k miles would do that). The front seat had the most wear. As you can see in the photos (check Google reviews for the photos unless), the front thigh bolster had some huge rips in it and the black threading (which looks fantastic against the cinnamon interior) was wearing/getting dirty. In addition, there was massive wear in the side bolsters. Also, the driver's side door panel was very worn. I was concerned this wasn't salvageable and that I was back to square one with my build. This is where Brian came in. When he saw my seat, he laid out what he could do and what he couldn't. Every good salesperson understands the importance of managing expectations. Brian did just did- but managed to exceed what I thought could be done to restore these super old seat. My seat looks like new, has that "new leather feel," and the door card looks just like it came out of the factory back in 2003! Special note on the door panel- Brian noticed the special black stitching and didn't just spray over it carelessly. Wanting to keep the original look and protect its exclusivity, he took the time to hand paint it with extreme attention to detail and it shows! It looks perfect. I'm extremely excited to install all the new interior into my car and drive one of my "dream builds." It's all thanks to Brian that I get to experience it "how it was" back in its former days of glory. If you're in the Triangle and looking for leather/vinyl restoration, give Brian a call. He won't disappoint.

The lady that looked at the damage said she would see what she could do and by that evening she called and said the repair was done and the picture was ready for pick up. Her work is amazing. Not only did she repair the wood but she also replaced the backing and added a new stronger wire and polished all of the wood. She's amazing. Her pricing is really good too especially for the work she put into repairing our picture. We will definitely go back to this store. Thank you for the fantastic service and quality workmanship!
