Our experience was that they were the nicest, most helpful, experienced people! I totally trusted them with a 100 year plus secretary's desk that was very sentimental to my family. It had that many years of grim and dirt. They advised on staining, the wood grain and how to accent and show it off. They disassembled, picked the desk up, completely wrapped it in soft quilting and returned it the same. They exercised great care. It looks fabulous and I love how i turned out! All the hinges are now smooth, the locks and drawers smooth. I am want to find something else to have them finish. Earlier in the year i had a number of depression era night tables that I had thought of refinishing also. They advised as to the true quality and wouldn't waste my money on poor quality. I totally appreciated their expertise and their advice. They were wonderful. Made me wish I had paid more attention to all the sanding and staining my Dad tried to teach me as a kid and I refused to listen. It was like listening to him again with their advice and care. read more

The rudest man I've ever done business with. He did a beautiful job stripping and restoring 2 toddler rocking chairs, gifts for family who had new babies. It was at the beginning of COVID. I have an autoimmune disease and got more and more cautious as time went by. First time i met him no one had been vaccinated and he was not wearing a mask. I left the two rockers. They are about 3' tall, 2' wide, 2' deep. Small. He works out of his garage and showed me a room where he was holding finished furniture for people, some for over a year. In a few weeks they called to say they were finished. I said great. I would come when I could as late ng as he'll wear a mask. His wife said he would. Because of COVID fear, my own illness, the illness of a grandchild, he called me 3 months later yelling that I had to come get them they were taking up room. I asked how much and immediately sent him a check paid in full. And it wasn't inexpensive! He yelled at me about leaving the the tiny chairs for 4 months and that he would not do another project I had for him because of that. Very mean tone. I am 65 and am unaccustomed to bring spoken to so rudely. I am very polite. I went to get the chairs. They were perfect. The only reason he got 2 stars. Anyone who is so rude and mean to a customer who just paid him a lot of money for 2 chairs during a time when no one was doing much business, or anytime, is not someone I ever want to do business with again. I'll find someone else to do the work I can't do my self. What an unpleasant experience! It has stuck with me ever since. A month later read more

If you really care about and value antique wooden furniture, you may have had the problem we did prior to our finding Granddad's Refinishing. It is so hard to find people as good as Granddad's -- really experienced. thoroughly knowledgeable true experts in the art of restoring and refurbishing all kinds of wood furniture and cabinetry. For a long time we put off trying to fix various pieces we care a lot about, because we were not sure they would be made right by first=class experts. It is easy to mess up wood furniture, unless you really know what you are doing. Luckily for us, a very good carpenter friend told us about Granddad's. We have had a GREAT experience working with them. They are truly EXCELLENT. Nice people to deal with, too. When they tell you something, you can be sure it is accurate. HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION. -- Mes AF Decker Moorestown, NJ read more
