We were clueless where to find someone who could help us with an antique dresser we longed to use in one of our bedrooms. It had been relegated to the basement for years, as various runners and gliders had broken off. One of the ornate handles had also broken and fallen off. I called Dovetail Restoration. Eric returned my call, answered my questions, explained the company policy and offered free pickup since we were close by. He also stated their policy was such that if he gave me a quote and he under bid, the quote would stick. They picked up the bureau promptly, and due to their workload, returned it within 24 hours. Never have experienced such a turnaround with any other business transaction. We are extremely happy with the result and would highly recommend them. read more
We had 2 antique chairs & a wing-back upholstered chair refinished by Dovetail. Eric responded my call very quickly. He came out to give his opinion & estimate on the work for each piece. He is very knowledgeable & fair. He left me with a written estimate. We decided based on his comments & the price that we would go forward with having all three chairs refinished. I truly had my doubts that the winged-back chairs legs could be restored to all looking the same. When the chairs were delivered back to us...by the way Eric picked up the chairs & delivered them back to us...they were all beautiful. My expectations were met if not exceeded.
I highly recommend Eric/Dovetail Restoration for any of your restoration needs. read more
Cant say enough about eric. They do the best fine detail restoration work in town. They refinished my 70 year old wood pin ball machine to better than new condition. I would recomend them for any restoration you could do. Keep it up Eric. read more
Beautiful wood work, but unfortunately I found Dovetail Restoration to be extremely unprofessional with how they conducts business. Poor communication and follow through with no documentation and does not stick to plan when project is complete. Also made a few mistakes that needed to be fixed onsite.
Unfortunately, the experience was far too difficult to organize and stressful for me to ever do business with Dovetail Restoration again. read more
Eric was so friendly and knowledgable. I have an antique pie crust table that had quite a bit of water damage (my dad had used as a bedside table), I didn't think it would be recoverable. Eric was prompt and gave me an estimate up front, he did an amazing job on the table, it looks gorgeous. He said he thought it would be about 2 weeks, and I had it 4 days. I highly recommend Dovetail Restoraion! read more

We have had 2 experiences with Eric at Dovetail Restoration, both were very professional and the wood work beautiful. The first was to install some antique Indonesian doors that we purchase that were very expensive and we knew that it was going to take the right person to do the job. The installation was complex but his craftsmanship got the job done. We would definitely recommend Eric, he was very trustworthy, affordable and timely on both jobs. read more
I have used Eric at Dovetail too many times to count, over the past decade. On many different projects and jobs. My experiences have always been professional, honest and timely.
Eric has an amazing eye for detail and finish work. No job appears to be too small or big for Eric. read more
