But I was very impressed with their assessment of the piece and suggestions on how it should be tackled. In addition, as I was finally escaping away for a short vacation for the first time in years, they very kindly agreed to keep the desk and stool safe for me until I return next week to pick them up. I thot that was immensely kind of them. Their premises are neat and tidy, parking is comfortable and well-lit, the office is clean and well-organized and so is the shop. The people who work there are also very professional. No bare bellies, scraggly beards, or saggy jeans here! Their paperwork is easy to read, forthright, and up to date. I would have no difficulty entrusting my things to them for excellent repairs. I have been treated so nicely by them, even tho I can't afford them. My short experience with Mumford has been informative and supportive in every way. Everything about them says they are organized, skillful, meticulous, and caring. So I highly recommend.

The piece turned out beautiful! Even better than I had imagined.

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.

I called to discuss two projects needing framing work after seeing the store front in a nearby…read moreshopping center. We're new to the area and had been using a chain store, which does okay work, but I do like shopping local. When Sean answered the phone, I introduced myself and let him know I had two projects I wanted to discuss and asked for a ballpark quote on a double mat 16x20 frame with quality glass. I disclaimed to him I was aware there were numerous options affecting price, but I just wanted a rough estimate. Sean took offense to my inquiry and responded with "my shop is focused on creating beautiful frames for our customers who aren't dollar driven. If that is your focus, you're need to stick with [chain store]," and then he rudely hung up as I tried to clarify my ask. While I certainly appreciate an artisan who is dedicated to their craft, we do not live in a world free from economic constraints. The reason I was inquiring for pricing on this project is it is a straightforward standard size which probably would be fine being framed at a chain store. However, the other project I wasn't able to discuss is a full custom piece in an unusual size with an atypical art medium where price is much less of a concern and I do not trust the chain store to handle. I'm extremely disappointed with the way Sean handled my call. I left a voicemail with him clarifying my ask, but a quick check of Google reviews afterward showed I may be better off finding another shop anyways. His framing may be amazing, the pictures posted look very nice, but the tone he took on the phone is very concerning and I won't be contacting his shop again.
