Lisa is an artist. We recently remodeled our 1920's home and wanted to reuse some beautiful mahogany doors that needed to be stripped of paint, lengthened (yes, it can be done), and refinished. Lisa masterfully accomplished this job. The doors are stunning and they preserve the original feel of the house. Not only was the finished product amazing, but Lisa was extremely helpful and giving of her knowledge as I peppered her with questions about how I could restore some of the other woodwork in the house. I think the best compliment I could give her was that all of the other subcontractors who were working on the house commented on her work and asked me for her contact information. I cannot recommend Lisa highly enough. read more

Lisa is the absolute best at what she does. She repaired water damage on my oak kitchen cabinet doors and they look as good as new. I highly recommend her for any restoration project you might have. read more

Lisa did a fabulous job restoring and repairing two chairs that had broken/cracked. She was super responsive, picked up the chairs and brought them back when she said she would. The price seemed fair for the work done and we're thrilled that our chairs are back in action. Highly recommend. read more

Lisa refinished my friend and neighbor's kitchen cabinets a few years ago, and they are beautiful! I just contacted her to restore a coffee table that my parents bought after they were married in 1956. Lisa is the best.... at what she does, as well as being a warm and kind person. read more

Lisa did an amazing job restoring my mom's antique steamer trunk! It was really beat up - rain damaged and homely. My husband wanted me to get rid of it and another restoration expert had told me he couldn't do the work. but when I told Lisa I had an emotional attachment to it, she totally understood. When she returned it, it was so gorgeous I didn't recognize it!. Lisa had refinished the surface so it was a rich, even color, while protecting the old travel stickers from Japan. I had suggested replacing the leather straps but she had wisely suggested keeping the old ones, however tattered, because new leather wouldn't look right on an antique piece. I was impressed with her knowledge and her handiwork was stunning. I recommend her highly. She's really talented. read more

Amazing job! Lisa performed a miracle on restoring the wood finish on our damaged kitchen cabinets. Great service and they look just like new!! read more

Lisa was great! It's nice to have someone who loves their work and does so well. She fixed our 19th century New England drop leaf desk and a walnut chair. Both pieces needed a lot of work and she was very clever about coming up with the solution. The result was even better than we expected! read more

Lisa has restored a number of pieces of wood furniture for us now, and we've always been pleased by the results and the prices have been quite reasonable. Most recently though we gave her an old Eames plywood chair that had been left outside by the previous owners. The rain damage was so bad it really looked like a piece of drift wood. We didn't know what to expect from her treatment but it came back looking truly amazing, it's now a treasured piece of ours. We were floored, and will be life long customers after this. read more

Lisa is a second generation wood restoration craftsperson! I had very tired (60 yr old) kitchen cabinets and drawer facings. After Lisa worked on them - WOW - they are alive smooth & the wood grain pops! Thank you Lisa! read more

Lisa did the most amazing job making my battered, water-damaged and stained kitchen cabinets and drawers look virtually brand new for a tiny fraction of the cost of replacing them! She fixed the doors and drawers that had literally broken and come apart, replaced water stained wood edging, put in updated cabinet hardware I got to choose, and even filled in the dings and holes in the surrounding wood work so it looks smooth and new. Plus she was super nice, totally reliable & punctual, and cleaned everything up beautifully. Now I'm looking around my house for the next refinishing project I can watch Lisa work her magic on! read more

Like a magician come to restore your furniture. Expertise and so much more. Lisa can make broken things like new.

Lisa repaired a beloved table designed by my mother and made by my father in the 50's. This was the first time it had been worked on since. She just did the top because I couldn't afford the whole thing, but she touched up the worst spots on the legs anyway, and threw in the top of the table in the waiting room just because it needed some love and she couldn't resist. She really takes pride in her work! read more

De La Sol Restoration - Furniture Repair Near Me

This review should be 10+ stars! I spoke with Lisa about my 30+ year old teak bedroom set. It was stained, water damaged, paint spots, moving bumps, you name it. I could not afford to replace it, and it was more solidly built than what's currently out there. Lisa's expert appraisal was "to give it some love". And did she ever- now I LOVE my furniture. It tuned out so much better than I thought possible- the damage was worse than the before picture captured and the results are even far greater than the after picture. I had a friend say the very next day (honestly) when did you buy these? I said 30 years ago!!!! REDUCE-REUSE-RECYCLE but do it the De la Sol way, let Lisa show your stuff some love! read more

Lisa just touched up my kitchen cabinets in preparation for selling our house. They look brand new! She is a real craftswoman! In addition to be very knowledgeable and super helpful, she was pleasant and reliable. She was very accommodating as well...squeezing us in at the last minute. I highly recommend her!

Lisa restored an old desk belonging to my husband's grandfather. It was ruined in shipping across country. She absolutely exceeded our expectations. It looks brand new! Thanks a million!! read more

Lisa is a magician. I have two mid-century side tables I purchased five years ago that had been battered by parties, toddlers, and general carelessness. They were covered in nicks, gouges, and moisture rings which Lisa restored to factory glory. They now literally glow and make me smile every time I look at them. Lisa is a joy to do business with - working fast with very reasonable rates: she both retrieved and returned the tables in under a week's time. Thank you! read more

Lisa has now refinished two pieces of furniture for me. Both were in pretty bad shape in various ways, things I bought in that condition, and she made them look beautiful and new. She was also a lot of fun to talk to and deal with. I couldn't be happier, and in fact now I'm planning my next call to her. read more

Lisa did a fantastic job fixing my grandma's kitchen chairs. She picked them up and dropped them off, got them re-cained and the seats re-upholstered, plus cleaned and re-stained the wood. Pricing was reasonable and she was pleasant to work with. I'd definitely work with her again. read more

I tried to call Lisa several times without success. She never returned any of my calls except once (when she called she told me she couldn't talk because she was watching a game but would call me back; she never did). She did not respond to my inquiry regarding some wood restoration work I needed done because of some damage done by our contractor to some of our very expensive furniture during our on-going and very extensive remodeling of our house. Lisa does not respond to her voicemails either nor to my text messages. This must be the new norm for small businesses not to return calls or text messages. I finally called a furniture restoration service that has excellent reviews to come to our house to repair the dinged furniture and water damage to some kitchen cabinet doors. One of my professors in professional school told me that to be successful in clinical practice, I needed to be knowledgeable, capable and accessible; I am very successful because I listened and learneLisa is deficient in all these areas. Good thing Lisa is not the only game in town. November 20, 2018: Please review the outstanding review I gave the Chairman for repairing my nicked dining room table (Herndon). I have surgical operating microscopes; I examined Lamar's work at 10 power magnification and found NO problems with his work. Thanks!i read more

I just moved into a "fixer-upper" home. And there was a great deal that needed work. Lisa's work is one of the "high-lights" of all the work I have done. Lisa stained my sliding door to "perfectly" blend with the rest of the room. She is meticulous and genuinely cares about the final product. She possesses an Artist's instinct with the skill of a Professional. In addition, she is quick, detailed and very reasonable (especially important to my budget). I won't hesitate to call her back! If you have restoration work you've been putting off; give her a call. She really is a great craftsperson!! read more

Lisa's work is excellent! She did an exquisite job of restoring my grandmother's game table and also did beautiful work touching up our kitchen cabinets, which had many water stains, faded spots and scratches. She's 5-stars plus!! read more

I had a beautiful armoire that was damaged by my movers and Lisa de La Sol made it look like new. I never thought the furniture could be repaired and not show it's damage. Lisa was incredibly friendly, professional and her talent with furniture restoration is bar none the best. Thank you, Lisa!!!! Mary read more

The work the Lisa de la Sol did on my 60 maple cabinets and my french doors after they were damages by scratchings of my dogs, was nothing short of superb! She is super professional and friendly. I recommend her fully and heartily to anyone who needs to resotre wood cabinetry. Dalia C Nagel read more

It's often a judgment call on giving up on an old table or chair or invest to refinish and give it a new life. Lisa was just the right person to help us make that decision -very knowledgeable, and practical as well. She worked her artistry on a 70+year old specialty side table and we are so happy to be showing it off in our home now. I hope she'll post it on her before/after pictures on the website, because it's another example of her exceptional skills. She will treat you and your furnishings with care! read more

I met Lisa a couple of years ago when she referred me to friend. I had a veneer Bassett dining table I bought from JC Penny 30 years ago and it was showing a lot of wear and tear. I was doubtful that much could be done. Lisa ended up "assisting" her referral and my table looks brand new. Pretty amazing and very cost reasonable. When I had two dark water mark stains on my floor from plants, all the pros said the spots would need to be replaced. Lisa was the ONLY one who said it could be bleached and the wood brought back to a pretty good match. Good for her, is great for the normal eye. Afterwards one of the professional floor refinishers were very impressed with Lisa's work and wanted her name and number. I also had a white oak mantle over my fireplace, Lisa glazed the mantle, and matched the color I wanted by "making it" from several colors. It looks beautiful, modern, and flawless. Can't say enough about Lisa's talent and her personality. You get exactly what you see with Lisa. She's honest, direct, talented, and warm. I won't have anyone else touch my wood projects. It's always gonna be Lisa. read more

One of the legs of my dining table chair had fractured. Lisa repaired it beautifully, and one can't tell that there had previously been a fracture. And she takes pride in her work. read more

I wanted to hire Lisa and called her to see if she refinish a table. She said she was busy with a big job, but could likely fit it in as mine was a small job and asked me to send photos. I did and she never responded to my text messages. While I understand busy schedules, it's unprofessional to ghost potential customers. read more

Lisa's work is great. She made our kitchen cabinets look brand new even though they are 11 years old.

Lisa did a fabulous job. I had extensive gum wood paneling and built ins in my 1920s house that were dirty and damaged. Lisa cleaned and repaired the wood, and restored the finish. It made a world of difference. She went above and beyond to ensure good results. She was also easy to work with and got the job done in a timely fashion. I would absolutely recommend her. read more

Thinking of replacing that fab piece of furniture? Don't give Lisa a call she works miracles with wood...just see her pics.

Lisa's work is absolutely great! She repaired a sizable and deep burn on the top of a wooden chest of drawers for me and despite looking at it from all angles I simply could not see where the damage had been. She's a magician! read more

Lisa is beyond amazing.I purchased a 1960's folding table with 4 chairs which she refinished. The set looks beautiful. She was quick and extremely professional. I would highly recommend her. read more

Lisa did a great job fixing our piece of furniture (80" media table). She showed up on time, set up shop and performed the necessary repairs in a timely manner. She was also very personable and easy to talk to about a range of topics, ranging from furniture (of course) to sports and even technology. I was impressed with the level of detail she did, if I didn't know better, I wouldn't know the furniture ever got repaired! I'm glad she is local and I can support a local small business. Would use again, no issues! Give her a call for any of your restoration needs! Her price was reasonable as well. read more

Lisa did an amazing job on our wood and caned rocker. It is from the 60's or 70's and had a huge amount of paint chipping off. She picked up (and delivered) our rocker, stripped it and refinished it. She helped us choose an appropriate finish for our needs. It looks beautiful and I'm so happy to be able to use it again. I would definitely recommend her and will use her again with other furniture, if needed. read more

After reading the reviews and learning that a third generation furniture finisher runs the company, I was eager to hire the firm. I called and left a message. A week later, not having had my call returned, I called and again left a message asking them to call. To date, I have not heard back. read more

Lisa is awesome. I had her do a few different projects and she does beautiful work. Chips, gauges, stains, water rings... you name it and they are gone. What a talent. She is prompt and very courteous. I highly recommend her. read more

Lisa is a real gem. She has been doing furniture refinishing for decades and is great at it... I can't even tell where the nicks and scrapes were on my custom cabinets. I feel lucky to have found her and will absolutely use her again. She is knowable, congenial, and easy to talk to about any questions I had. read more

Lisa, at De la Sol, really understands furniture. I pointed out warping, splintered, rippled warping on a trestle table and she assured me knew what to do. When I got this precious family piece back, I was shocked at how great it looked. De la Sol Restoration is professional, timely, and reasonably priced. I've got a few more pieces to be restored, refinished, or repaired in the near future and I will not hesitate to use De la Sol again. read more

Not only is Lisa an expert in her field, she is also personable and helpful... She not only told me what was the best way to go about my repair, she showed me how to do it...it was a small enough job that I was able to do it myself, which I appreciated. I highly recommend her and will recommend her to all my friends. read more

Lisa is an absolute wizard. So professional and such a nice person. She removed old water stains from two bedside tables which another restorer had told me needed to be sanded down and completely refinished. I am planning to line up another few pieces of furniture that need help and ask her to come back very soon! read more
