Repaired some inherited silver pieces well and polished them to boot! When I went to pick them up and upon inspection I wondered if a couple more repairs could be possible to make the pieces look 'perfect', they took them back and reviewed with the silversmith and told me it wasn't recommended because it could weaken the metal too much. Appreciated that they were willing to revisit and called me to let me know the outcome of the reevaluation. Really appreciated the entire interaction with them and would use them again. read more

Mumford Restoration is very good and very expensive, so I could not afford to have my new/used Hitchcock desk restored here on a teacher retirement budget. 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. read more

..i just had a conversation with the Mumford Restoration owner Bernard about restoring my grandmother's clock. He gave an a restoration and repair estimate of between $2600-$4,000 plus. Pick-up and delivery would be $195 additional each way. I had questions about the repair process and any possible repairs and/or broken or missing parts if any. My clock hadn't worked for 10 years and I'm unsure what work/.parts might be needed. Bernard rudly responded to my questions noted above saying this sounded too complicated for him; he doesn't want to work on my clock; and that I should take my $2K-&4K+ restoration repair job to their competitor, Pender Restoration in Raleigh, which is what I will do. FYI,: Pender Restoration was highly recommended by a clock repair shop in Raleigh. read more

Mumford Restoration - Furniture Reupholstery Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

We had Mumford restore a 200+ year chest with inlaid wood and their work was amazing. It looks brand new. They repaired the base of large fossil damaged in transit from Morocco. A big chunk was missing and they managed to match the color so that you can't tell the patch from the original. We hlghly recommend Mumford Restoration. read more

Wow. I attach before and afters. Stellar workmanship. They were very responsive, and although they are struggling with delays just like every business during Covid, it was well worth the wait. Not cheap, but neither was the furniture the first time around, over 20 years ago. read more

Having the remaining chairs back from the other chair caner, and looking so superior next to the others, I took a deep breath and struck up the courage to phone Mr. (Bernard) Mumford directly re: the chair situation. He offered a full refund for the two they had subcontracted, and asked for photos which I then emailed. He responded promptly and with an apology. That takes class. Now I'll be able to take them to the caner and have them all match, and for the price it should have cost. All's well that ends well. Advice: if you try this business out, deal only with Mr. Mumford for your projects. read more

I'm not a fan. Mr. Mumford and crewmember did collateral damage while repairing an item. The additional problem occurred because he was in a hurry, gave unclear instructions to his partner, and failed to take precautionary actions. He returned to repair both items - the original repair plus the one he created. When we expressed concern that the item he broke wasn't in the same condition, he failed to acknowledge the problem, and left clearly exasperated. read more

I recently moved to Raleigh. I needed my master bedroom end tables refinished as well as a dresser top. I also needed two chairs reupholstered. Mumford Restoration was recommended to me by our interior designer. They did a fantastic job with both the refinishing and the upholstery. They responded promptly to my inquiry, gave an estimate as to the time the project would take and delivered the items within the stated time frame. They have gone above and beyond with their professionalism and their genuine desire to deliver a quality product. I highly recommend them. read more

Total rip off they over charge: We had 3 estimates to have the fabric on wrought iron patio chairs redone and fix the graphite on 2 rocker patio chairs. Their estimate was OVER $3,000 while 2 other places estimated between $1,100 to 1,200!!! Needless to say we had one of the other places do a perfect job for a 3rd of the price! Another time we had Mumford fix a broken frame on our leather sofa and it broke within 1 week again. They just put some screws. I suggested a metal flat bar to brace the wood beam....they sent a more experienced guy to do just that it lasted. There is something wrong when the customer has to tell a surgeon how to operate! read more

I can't say enough about the service these guys do! From the first call to the finished product they go above and beyond! I have sent several pieces from wood antique dining room sets to a simple ottoman that needed new upholstery.. They have done an amazing job and thrilled my clients! read more

Brought a old rocking chair for repair. Was told entire chair was taken apart and re-glued. Was charged $200. Chair broke again several weeks later. Took the chair to a different shop and was told they didn't re-glue anything. All that was done is they added a cheap screw to the arms. Total rip off. Go elsewhere. read more

Fantastic people and a fantastic job restoring my granny's love seat. My family adored the seat but thought it was ready for the dumpster but I handed it over to the folks at Mumford and they returned it to what I consider to be it's original condition. Absolutely phenomenal. Thank you guys for restoring not only the seat but the memories that went along with it! read more

Sent a request to have a chair fixed. It is an oak dining chair that one of my son's friends broke the back off. It is a clean break and could easily be fixed with a couple of dowel rods. I could do it, but just thought I would get a professional to do it. chair doesn't even need touch up unless they scratch it. $350 was the price quoted. Seriously! I can get a whole new table and 6 chairs exact same one for less than $1000 on eBay. I like the chair, but not that much. I'll attempt the fix myself. read more

In a recent interstate move my antique cherry dining room table suffered great damage. The table has two pedestals with three curved legs on each pedestal. Four of those legs were broken into pieces. One of the dining room chairs also suffered breakage. I really did not think there was much hope for the table, but I called Mumford Restorations and asked for an opinion and estimate. Spencer was very knowledgeable and said that he thought the table and chair could be repaired. Three weeks later I had my table and chair back in remarkable condition. They did a beautiful job. It was expensive, but this was very time consuming and meticulous work done by craftsmen. Thank you for restoring my grandmother's table to me. read more

Our moving company broke the marble top on our 1880, handmade, oak sideboard in two. Bernard came and reassured us that it could be repaired in an aesthetically acceptable manner. He took it to his shop, and while he was on vacation, his crew finished the work, and brought it back. We were not happy and left it on the truck to go back to the shop. Bernard called when he returned, and said he wanted us to be completely happy. He redid the repair and it looks beautiful. This piece is important to us and we are thrilled. If you don't know exactly where the break is, you will not find it. Additionally, he cut the final bill with no prompting from us. That was the right thing to do. I would not hesitate to use this company should the need arise. However, I would, as has been suggested in another review, deal with Bernard. read more

These people wanted $387 to repair one broken rail on a rocking chair under their "bronze level" service. I was scared to ask what a "gold level" would cost. I laughed and left. read more

Bernard Mumford and his shop refinished a hundred year old Mason and Hamlin parlor grand piano. It has been in our family since the early 1900's and moved around quite a lot. It was in good shape but needed restoration of the wood, keys and brass. Bernard took it away in May and returned it in August. What a beautiful job he did. It is gorgeous. He worked hard getting the appropriate materials (and when he could not, made them himself). His price was more than fair considering the hours spent in stripping it and refurbishing it. He invited us to the shop a number of times so we could observe the process and make suggestions. Bernard was extremely accommodating. If you have any piece you value but needs restorative work Bernard Mumford is your man. read more
