Greg's Refinishing is an outstanding gem of an operation. My wife and I had a rosewood, brass inlaid, made-to-order coffee table and matching end tables we had purchased overseas some thirty five years ago. They were well worn and used (water stains, some insect damage). We also had an oak kitchen table and chairs (about 30 years old) that had been "through the wars" of family life and looked it. I went around to a couple of places to get a quote and happened upon Greg's shop by chance. And so very pleased I did, as this local business is committed to first class service and work. Greg came to our home and provided a fair assessment of how long the work would take and an estimated price that was about 20% less than other quotes. He picked up the pieces and six weeks later - right on time - brought us in to choose stains for the now sanded and primed pieces. And a little over a month later -ahead of schedule - was able to return absolutely beautifully restored tables and chairs. They quite literally look as good as the day they were purchased. On top of it all, Greg and his team are genuinely nice, salt-of-the-earth guys, passionate about their craft and committed to doing the work right. I would recommend them highly and without reservation. Thanks, Greg! read more

Greg's Refinishing was a wonderful experience. He took a valuable Mid-century rosewood cabinet from the 1960s and lovingly revived it from a too well used damaged piece of furniture to a stunning example of handmade perfection. They were very easy to work with and on time with each necessary contact. I would have no problem highly recommending Greg for any job. He is a fine example of a dedicated professional, and is delightful to deal with as well. read more

5 Stars for Greg's Refinishing!! I have a unique style teak table that had some areas where the finish was off due to something hot being placed on it. I had gotten the table used, at a good price and it was finally time to try to get the finish back. I did my homework reading reviews and asking others for recommendations for a furniture refinisher. The name that kept coming up was Greg's Refinishing. So I called. Greg is great to work with, he worked around my schedule to find a time to come and look at the table. He gave me a reasonable price for the process he explained would be needed for the table. Hearing that he and another employee would come to my home to pick up the table , sealed the deal for me to trust him with this job. They picked up the table, after sanding it down I was asked to come and look at it before Tom started putting the finishing coats on it. I appreciated be asked to do that. The table is absolutely beautiful! I am so grateful for the care put into my table, the easy communication with Greg and the customer service of he and his team. I am very pleased. I even had Greg's upholsterer redo the cushions on my 4 chairs. I had the fabric and decided I could recover them myself. However, after taking one cushion off, pulling out what seemed like 50 tacks and dealing with crumbling old foam, I gave in. He did a beautiful job and it was well worth having the cushions professionally done. I am very pleased with Greg's Refinishing and will definitely recommend them to others. Thanks! read more

We scored a gorgeous Antique bedroom set on craigslist with hopes to refinish for our guest room. When I learned I was pregnant we thought the pieces would be perfect for the nursery but we would need them refinished sooner than planned. Although I had restored several large furniture pieces myself in the past, I could no longer do this project safely and based on the intricate detail didn't think we could do the set justice. I emailed a few professionals and found Greg to be the most reliable, detailed and responsive of anyone in Milwaukee. We instantly hired Greg based on his enthusiasm for the project. He made it really easy to understand what options we had and gave suggestions to help us come up with a plan. His pricing was also the best around. We could not be happier with how beautiful they turned out. They truly restored this collection to it's previous grandeur! We hope the set will become a family heirloom for another 100 years! read more

Greg and his team did a great job restoring an old chair back to a functioning piece that I sit on every day at my desk. The chair is a sentimental piece from my father's uncle and it needed a lot of help. I could not be happier with the restoration and new upholstery work. Greg kept me informed on the progress of the restoration and was nice enough to pick up and drop off at my home. I would highly recommend Greg's Refinishing. AAS 10/2021. read more

Timely and knowledgeable response to my inquiry. I'm the owner of my parents' maple table and chairs; story is they purchased them at a yard sale when they were newlyweds. When Greg read my description he knew exactly what type of table I was referring to (refectory table). He picked them up, and within a week or so I went to his shop to pick the stain. They stained the bottom of the table in a couple of different shades so I could decide. It is awesome! Beautiful work, delivered, and at the price I was quoted. Great area business with owner and a few employees doing what they love. read more

Greg's did a fabulous job refinishing some really fine furniture that had become messed up since we bought the pieces in the 1970's. They now are BETTER looking than they were originally, and the service level was truly exceptional. Greg told us his prices are not the lowest or the highest, but promised we would not find another place to do the work with as much care and quality. Ours was an especially challenging job because of some refinishing that had been done earlier and didn't work out well. I went to Greg's before we hired them, looked around, met the craftsmen, and got a feel for their personalities and customer relationship style. It was apparent that this small second-generation operation, with a family business feel, was a hidden gem. Do not hesitate to contact them for any kind of wood refinishing work. Ours did not involve upholstery, so I cannot comment on that aspect. But I think it's pretty safe to assume they would do a terrific job just because of "who they are". read more

It was fourth of July weekend that I decided "a good project for me would be to strip our 110 year old bathroom doors and give them a little facelift"....needless to say it quickly became an insurmountable gooey disaster. Crestfallen, I sent an email to Greg and he got back to me right away with words of reassurance that a. the job I was doing was a tough one, not to feel bad and they could totally help. Help they did, he and his team did a phenomenal job in a timely fashion. I was so pleased with their work I plan to have all the doors in my house done, the two he refinished are now putting the others to shame. I highly recommend "greg's refinishing". Thank you! read more

I brought in cushions for my couch and loveseat to have them redesigned for a Mid-Century Modern look. I worked with Bradley--he knew just what I was looking for and was able to take care of it quickly and professionally. You wouldn't know I had these re-done. They look perfect on the couch and loveseat. I would use Greg's Refinishing again. read more
